Nurses have a wide variety of responsibilities, patient care, knowledge of the body how it works, knowledge of medicines and body systems. Nurses should enjoy caring for people and have the ability to not take mean people personal. I am a nursing student and unfortunately nursing is not for me although I love the science knowledge(switching my major to microbiology).

Translation:\n\nIn our life, we look up to many people not only because they are famous but because of the many good deeds they have done and when I think about these deeds, the first thing that comes to mind are Nurses.  I admire them because they know how to commisserate with patients.\n\nNursing is a course that is related to science and my favorite aspect of this course is Human Biology, Chemistry for Health Studies and Physics for Health Studies because through these courses, I understand more the various parts that make up our body and the proper way of taking care of it.\n\nSooooo.... do I get 10 pts? :)

Some jobs that a registered nurse does are: \n   -caretaking for elderly and disabled\n   -hospital work (like paperwork)\n   -all sorts of things.\n\nIt varies. As an ER nurse you're exposed to every situation and age group. As a oncology nurse you're dealing with terminally ill. as a pediatric nurse you're dealing with infants & children. The possibilities are endless. It also depends on if you're in a hospital. school, or doctor's office.

do a research on the nursing shortage.  How bad is it really?  what are the stats?  When will it reach epidemic porportions?  What are the states and federal govt. doing to try and curb this shortage?  Who will affect the most?  What kind of solutions do you propose to gain interest in this profession?

How to become a nurse\n   \n  \n\nWhile job prospects in many areas are diminishing, healthcare is growing. With the nursing shortage predicted to get worse, jobs for nurses are abundant throughout the world. Unfortunately, along with the shortage of practicing nurses comes a "Catch 22" shortage of nursing educators. Therefore, nursing programs are difficult to get into, and many have waiting lists. The wait is worth it. Wages will continue to increase, and experienced nurses will be in high demand for years to come.\n\nNursing Assistant\nYou may want to begin your career as a nursing assistant or aide. This requires a short course of study, and is usually available from your local adult education department. In some instances, it may give you an advantage in getting into a nursing program as well.\n\nIt also provides you with a source of employment while you pursue your nursing career, as well as direct insight into the world of nursing. There are other programs such as becoming a Surgical Tech which don't require you to become a nurse first, but can lead into a path towards nursing. Often these programs are available through technical schools or adult education programs.\n\nLPN/LVN\nMoving on up the career ladder, you may choose to become and LPN/LVN (Licensed Practical or Vocational Nurse). This is generally a one year course of study typically from a vocational school or junior college. The LPN/LVN works under the direct supervision of a physician or an RN. It is not uncommon for people to choose to become an LPN/LVN as a means to support themselves as they pursue their RN (Registered Nurse). Some RN schools offer course credit to LPNs or allow you to challenge some courses through exams. This practice is not as common as it once was, however, with the shortage of nurses becoming crisis levels in some areas, we may see more of this again.\n\nRegistered Nurse\nFor RNs there are more choices to be made in regards to levels of education. In the past, hospitals offered three year diploma courses where students lived and worked in the hospital and earned a nursing diploma, and then sat for their boards to become RNs. As nursing roles expanded far beyond the realm of hospital nursing, these programs closed. Today, very few remain, and most of those are affiliated with 2 year (Associate Degree) programs.\n\nADN vs. BSN\nThe two most popular courses of study today are the ADN (Associate Degree Nurse) and the BSN (Bachelor of Science Nurse). The ADN course is typically a two year degree program, and the BSN a four year program. The ADN program is often focused more on practical applications of nursing where as the BSN program expands into the theoretical realms of patient care. Most institutions pay on a scale based on education as well as experience. In recent years there has been a big push to mandate the BSN be a minimum requirement to be a professional nurse. Sound arguments both for and against this have been well presented, and thus it is still being debated. The nursing shortage is playing a big role in the practicality of this. However, for professional advancement, the BSN is usually required. Again, an ADN program provides a career ladder choice to nurses. Many programs for RN-to-BSN are gaining popularity. After graduation from any of these courses of study, nurses all sit for their boards to become Registered Nurses. This exam is known as the NCLEX-RN.\n\nMake Sure It's Accredited\nAn important point in choosing any nursing program is making sure it is accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC). This ensures that you will be able to sit for your boards. Not all schools are accredited, and can delay your licensing process.\n\nAdvance Degree Programs\nThere are also many advanced degree options including Nurse Practitioner programs, as well as Masters and Doctoral degree programs with various areas of specialization and practice. Most management positions require advance

I remember the day when hospitals were filled with good, professional nurses. No problem.  Now a days the hospitals I know are starving for good nurses.  They sometimes have to hire out to agencies, and believe me, some of these people are not up to snuff!  I have also noticed that the real good nurses go on to bigger things and leave what they were trained for.  I've been a patient at a hospital on numerous occasions.  I can spot a good one a mile away.  I can also spot an aide who is way out of her league, a mile away.  Study hard, listen in class.  Get ready for a rewarding job that will most likely pay your bills VERY nicely. " Good night nurse!!" An old time expression meaning " Holy cow!"

A community mental health nurse is a qualified nurser who specialises in mental health.  They often visit patients in their own homes and can act as a liaison between you and your psychiatrist.\n\nThe give support where needed, answer any questions you may have, can get you help in a crisis quickly etc.  If you been offered the help of one, I would definately go for it.  My CPN (Community Psychiatric Nurse) was invaluable.  Luckily I now don't need one as I'm doing better.

I think about all the other patients that have lived because of the care I've given them.  I try to save those in my care with all the newest equipment and knowledge I have, and know that even doing my best will not work all the time.  In the end, I get down on my knees and pray for strength to work the next day to a profession that clearly requires a heart full of compassion for the sick and which some times is not fully appreciated by others. So, from a NURSE....Thank you.

Role of a Neonatal Nurse\nNeonatal nurses work either within specialist neonatal units (within Maternity or Children’s Hospitals) or in the community.\n\nNeonatal nurses care for new-born babies who are premature or are born sick. There are a vast number of conditions that can affect a new-born baby and require treatment from specialists within the multidisciplinary healthcare team. \n\nPremature babies have particular problems as a result of being born too soon, in particular problems as a result of being born too soon such as respiratory difficulties that can be life threatening if not treated promptly and appropriately by the specialist team. Likewise, the nutritional needs of the sick newborn and premature babies will require specialist care.\n\nThe neonatal nurse also has the important role of supporting the parents of the baby at a time when they themselves are very anxious and stressed. As far as possible, the parents and occasionally other family members are encourages to take an active role in the care of the baby

Being a nurse is probably more honorable and more rewarding.\n\nBeing an Engineer is certainly easier. (Very few are ever right but they all think they know everything)\n\nThe question becomes; Can you handle the sickness, death, blood and other tragedies that you will see. When a nurse gets home at night their spouse does not want to have dinner conversation about most of what happens in a hospital.\n\nI admire nurses, I do not have a tough enough stomach to do what they do. Do you? Any one can be an engineer. I know,\n\n I r 1
