Maria Tena is a writer. She has published numerous articles, stories, and the novel "Tenemos que Vernos", or "We Have to Meet", edited byAnagrama. At the present time, she is the Ministry of Health and Consumption Cabinet Head. This article has its origin as a reflection to the thread laid in the conference titled "Sciences and Letters: Women's Vision", organized by the Health Sciences Foundation; as a means to encourage debate, reflection and common meeting points among the contributions made by the scientific and the humanistic cultures, with an understanding that both the sciences and the letters contribute to their development. Since the Nursing Profession should apply both focuses in order to offer a human treatment, feelings, and a quality treatment, scientific, what better way to enter into this topic than a commentary by Maria Tena.
