Explain Plan shows Nested Loops, Is it good or bad?

Hi All,

I have a doubt in the explain plan, I would like to know if the Nested Loops , will it degrade the query performance?
Note: I have pasted only few output that I had taken from the expalin plan.

Do let me know if there is any article I could read to get clear understanding about the same.
