Registered Nurse Interview

I interviewed Sarah, she is a registered nurse at a hospital. For her job Sarah has to evaluate and record patient symptoms, help doctors during exams and surgeries. Her shifts are entirely dependent upon her patients and coworkers. A nurse’s day starts with reports from the nurse on the previous shift. The shift typically ends with Sarah filling out her own reports to enter into the system or pass on to the next nurse. Her duties include administering medications, caring for wounds, perform physicals and coordinate care with other health professionals. As well as explaining to patients about self-care and healthy habits.
She currently works at California Hospital Medical Center and is in the healthcare industry. She says a career as a registered nurse has a lot of job openings and it will continue to have a wide variety of career options and opportunities available. There are numerous healthcare related settings in which nurses can work at like clinics, hospitals, assisted living facilities, or in other home and public health agencies.

She also says she’s glad she chose it over trying to become a practitioner since that’s far more stressful. She says there are several positives about her nursing career, good pay and ability to find work quickly all over the country, good health insurance from day one for you and your family. Nurses have the ability to help their community, by helping their patients, improving their quality of life and taking part in saving a person's life. She says that when studying to become a nurse there are a lot of tests and a lot of people don't understand how hard you have to work for that title. Her advice to whoever is interested in the field is to stick with it.She says, “It might get hard but in the end the rewards are definitely worth it. If you don't like the field you're in, there are plenty of other nursing fields to be a part
