The practice of nursing as a profession is one that is predominantly characterized by ethical morals and values. The exercise of nursing as a noble profession is more than just the medical care part. The profession encompasses and demands morality and value attributions in its facets such as the rescue, medicine or even trauma team. Practitioners in the Nursing profession must exhibit rich possession of morals and ethical values together with basic human decency. The book "Boston Strong" by Caser Sherman and Dave Wedge binds the nursing profession with morals as depicted in the paper.
How I would have performed as a first respondent to the bombing scene
My approach as the first-hand respondent to the scene at the marathon bombing would be one spelled by professional ethics. As a professional nurse, I would dispense my services to the immediate victims regardless of the prevailing circumstance about whoever was responsible for the incidence (King, Larentzakis, & Ramly, 2015). I would adhere to the norm of non-biased principle in dispensing rescue services and first aid to the victims. As a morally upright being and an ethical nursing practitioner, I would not mind attending to the Tsarnaev brothers in and outside the scene of the bombing.

Lessons learned from the runner's stories in the book
The emotional stories of the runners teach us life itself is the gift that human beings have to respect and appreciate. From the runners' view, human life is priceless and all human beings have a divine responsibility to guide their lives and those of others (Osgood, Scanlon, Jotwani, Rodkey, Arshanskiy, & Salem, 2015). The stories by the runners impact professional nurses to perceive duties as more of human-divine roles of guiding the lives of other humans other than futile efforts.
