195 Words1 Page

Adult nurses care for patients over the age of 18 who are suffering from a variety of health conditions, varying from acute and long-term illnesses and diseases to minor injuries and aliments.

As well as this, they promote good health and well-being through education and clinics on topics such as quitting smoking, weight loss and diabetes. Nurse’s normally work within a multidisciplinary team but are often the main point of call for patients, and often provide the most continuity of care. They will usually have contact with the patient’s family, this is especially

    Nursing, and everything that it entails, cannot be easily described in just one simple word or phrase. It goes beyond the meaning of a profession and the stereotypical definition of treating the ill. Nursing is the “protection, promotion, and optimization of health and abilities, prevention of illness and injury, alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human response, and advocacy in the care of individuals, families, communities, and populations” (American Nurses Association, 2010, p. 1). Therefore, it is a career that requires dedication, passion, critical thinking, and knowledge. It demands commitment and an understanding of its core values and concepts, as well as the nurse’s own personal philosophy and principles.

    Voices talk over the intercom. The smell of iodoform disinfectant is in the air. Hospital beds are rolled down the hall. Doctors and nurses walk past each other, each with their own tasks and to-do lists, wearing scrubs.

    It is often difficult for a person to decide what field he or she wants to go into, especially in their teenage years. Deciding what a person desires as a career for the rest of his/her life is a challenge, especially since most people spend just about the rest of their lives doing that occupation, which they chose while they were in high school. Some people change their majors and go into something else, but this has a very heavy toll on that person 's bank account; it will weigh it down, especially if they could barely afford it the first time around. Therefore, the two majors that I have been back and forth between are Computer Science and Molecular Diagnostics (which is a component of the medical field), due to how stressful they are, how fast they are growing, how in demand they are, how rigorous they are in school, how the typical work week looks like, and how much human interaction there is.
