She says that many people have the notion that nursing is only for those who like to help people in need which she agrees with. This turn in her career has been a surprise for her. She has only finally become an educator because of the fact that she has ever kind of practical experience in the many years that she has worked as a nurse.
If there is a sense of remorse about changing the field that she works it is because of only one reason and that reason is because she feels that the nursing's prospects have changed thoroughly. Nursing is not the same as she learnt it, all the fundamentals have changed and in fact a few of them are still in place. Their non nursing chores are being managed by new hires. Now she feels that the entire essence of nursing has changed.
Nurse is now behaving just as a doctor would by conducting examination and taking history of various patients.
Even problems like problems with behavior are being dealt with by them. Nursing is really being done in the real sense of the word thanks to workers being hired to take care of the smaller works that can be done without the nurses. Women who are pregnant, patients with cancer and even old aged people are being directly treated by nurses.
The male side of the world too is taking active interest in joining the field of nursing because they think that there is no harm in entering this field. They are actually even doing really well and are progressing well. All because they have been majorly influenced by the movement of liberation, now they do not want to even think of this profession as only for women. Now it is no surprise to see a male nurse doing extremely well in the pre natal ward or even with a gynecologist.
Men's interest in this field is something new but they possess the same zeal to learn medicine and to help people along with getting a good salary as a motive to join the field. One thing to be sure of is that though people are attracted to this field by hoards there is no limitation of jobs available.
Little did we know that the liberation movement would bring about so much of change to the field of nursing! Now the nurses are able to be distinct and are not always associated with doctors only. Scholarships are available at the School of Nursing at the University of Rochester but there are conditions that need to be followed for example, the training bills are not paid by the scholarship. Here are the characteristics she is looking for in nursing students.
It is a fact that those looking to join the field of nursing need to have fascination for the study of science and should be very kind. He should also know the knack to dealing with situations that require immediate attention. Community service is an absolute must. She feels that the two kinds of people that will easily fit into this job are people who move and people who do because both have excellent communication as well as are very sensitive to others.
