what is your idea about nursing?

Answer 1

I don't like it personally. I like people and I like helping them, but I don't want to be too close to their bodily fluids and stuff like that, so no, nursing is not for me.

Answer 2

I have been a Registered Nurse since 1984, and I find it very challenging and worthwhile. I'm not going to candy-coat the Nursing Profession there are times that the political side makes me upset, and sometimes Physicians don't understand what we do. Doctors can't be everywhere to give injections, start IV's, monitor EKG's, or deal with a flipping out Patient, so that is why Nurses are there. We have to be intelligent and one step ahead of the Physician's and the Patient's, to prevent lawsuits. We have to understand the Medication we dispense, the correct dosages , and be able to calculate medication dosages in kilograms to pounds , as well as IV drip rates. We don't scrub floors, that is for the housekeeping department to do. We are the first and the last ones to see the Patient's. We do the teaching that the Patient's need, so they can understand exactly what they should do to take care of themselves. So, if you love Science, can handle math, and want to make a difference no matter what, Nursing is for You, good-luck.

Answer 3

Nursing was a profession that was reverred and looked forward to by those who aspire to become nurses as a vocation, but today the reverse is the case as more and more nurses are running in droves out of this once noble profession.I worked as a Health care assistant in a cardiac ward and i have seen nurses literarilly cry from fatigue and abuse from patients and their families, the work load is absolutely horrendous! I personally have been hit by patients.I stayed for 7 months because i hadn't found alternative employment, i went home totally shattered each work day, i could not wait to leave same as countless nurses i'd spoken to, loads of them were moving or wanting to move to America or Saudi Arabia where they felt they will be paid properly for their troubles.Trust me love just like i have told countless others, DO NOT DO IT, RUN A MILE FROM NURSING IN THE UK.All the best.

Answer 4

It is the best thing that you can do for your baby. It helps them build an immune system so they stay healthier. It is also great bonding time with the baby. I also think that nursing in public is fine, just make sure that you have a blanket covering you and the baby...no need to show everything that's going on. The only concern is if the baby does not nurse long enough or falls asleep you want to make sure they are getting enough food - or else they will wake up about every two hours....This is from experience...LOL - Good luck!

Answer 5

It is a wonderful field to go into but it is hard work, long hours and so so pay. BUT---it is a great feeling inside if you can help just one person. I was an OR nurse for over 20 years and ran the OR during that time. Your not there for yourself but for the patient and the doctor, so that patient can maybe walk again or be cancer free or bring a new life into this world....That in it self says a lot.....HELPING PEOPLE>
