title: An undervalued specialty.
abstract: I am sure many other nurses working in this field have similar experiences and feel their achievements are not always recognized and valued. To go home at the end of a working day knowing that you have provided good-quality individualized care to all your patients is extremely satisfying, and I am sure is not always achievable on many general wards. Is it not time that dermatology was given some acknowledgement?
