Why I Became a NurseWhy I Became a NurseMaking the journey from LPN to BSN.The journey will be long and difficult, yet we all know this is the pathway into the future of nursing. The Licensed practical nurse has slowly faded into the background; the duties once performed now removed from the scope of practice. The LPNs are being forced to either return to school to obtain an ADN, BSN, or MSN in order to continue working in the nursing field or remain stagnant and have no hope of career advancement has created a rise in the LPN to RN-BSN programs now offered. This paper will allow you to see this journey through the eyes of the LPN.
As a Licensed practical nurse on the team, we more often than not receive the short straw. We have sometimes been working in the nursing field for longer than some have been out of school yet we do not receive the recognition that we most often deserve. Due to the constraints and restrictions that have continued to increase on the scope of practice, the duties of the LPN have dwindled over time to very closely resemble those of a certified nursing assistant or Medical assistant.
The LPN that makes the difficult decision to return to school will benefit from gaining the ability to work with autonomy while also having the accountability that he/she is unaccustomed to possessing. They will suddenly be the primary nurse, the nurse responsible for all aspects of care pertaining to nursing whereas before they always had the RN to fall back on. As an RN, will be their responsibility to make accurate clinical decisions and judgments while maintaining a professional rapport with, staff, patients and families.
We play an active role in promoting and maintaining the health and well-being of our community, and it takes a great deal of patience, commitment and sacrifice to balance home life, school, and the job, but as nurses, we find this rewarding and we are proud to be in the wonderful profession of nursing.
In the field of emergency nursing, the staff will experience many different challenges during a shift, one minute they may be taking care of a child that is having a febrile seizure and then have a patient that has suffered a gunshot wound. The emergency department nurse must wear many different hats; he/she is a nurse, counselor, housekeeper, and dietician just to name a few. The fact that the nurse possesses the ability to be what some may call a chameleon is what makes them such unique persons.
Nursing is one of the few professions where one can say that their job gives them great satisfaction in knowing that they are truly helping someone regain their full potential and bringing them back to a healthy state of being. Being a nurse is not just an occupation; it is more like a commitment to the profession of nursing. It is a very hard yet fulfilling job and success or failure in the profession is entirely up to the nurse. There is a tremendous amount of stress and many great challenges that nurse faces each day, yet somehow they are able to somehow cross these hurdles and continue.
The changes in medicine are dramatic and will continually remain so. There is no more exciting a career to be found in life. The basics never change, and the human touch is necessary for good health. Bedside nursing provides the daily interactions with patients and their families that provide the nurse with a feeling of satisfaction and completeness in knowing that the care delivered provided the patient with the care and understanding they needed to help them cope with their medical condition. Nursing is not only taking care of the medical needs of the patients, when a nurse makes a terminally ill patient smile, comfort a lonely elderly patient, alleviate a childs fears, or feed a hungry disabled person then they have
A Patient in A Waiting Room (TLC)
This is a very important shift. As we move forwards the world may seem more chaotic, unpredictable, and uncertain. But to truly understand the changing conditions in our everyday lives and what it means to be human, we need to understand how a sick person feels about the rest of us. For many we feel comfortable with ourselves, just knowing that others around us is better and better by the end of it. This is the most fundamental shift in a family history we have experienced, with a mother and father still separated by several years, this shift will be our second, but more important step.
The change is so much less dramatic when, after a week at the hospital the patient is cared for and is back home. The patient’s life is still what it used to be and they get in better balance with the time on their own. In times of stress and illness, the care will be there and the care needed will be there, even with the changes. There are so many good days and so few bad, but to truly understand the changes it will take time to get there. The shift is so much more than that.
This shift reflects a new and critical attitude towards caring for our sick but one that has its roots in the values of kindness. The shift in caring for sick and dying patients comes with a responsibility we have all accepted with kindness and compassion. As a physician, I share a deep commitment to providing patients access to quality care and care that may feel lost but brings together the community members and fellow members to improve their health while saving lives. In an environment of social inequities, we are more likely to experience difficulties that lead to illness, illness, or death. In my experience patients with mental health issues are often isolated, ignored, and denied the hope they should have, and the risk such misdiagnoses can result in a life of depression, anxiety, and hopelessness. This means that while we are trying to solve the patient’s problem, we are ultimately going to face more than just a loss of hope, which can lead to the loss of a loved one if they are not found.
Health Services
Health services is a major part of our medical care and often is not what we normally take care of. It is not just medical attention, it is also physical therapy and physical therapy with various forms of treatment that can be used to assist our sick. As physicians we are required to work closely closely with patients to ensure that patients have the highest possible health for their entire lives. In some cases, patients will be required to have access to medicines and medications. However, in others, there will be a very high probability of such medications being prescribed when a patient is sick. This is in conjunction with a patient taking medication to control issues that are affecting the physical and mental health of
