Become a good nurse?
Prior to the foundation of modern
nursing, nuns and the military often provided nursing-like services. What is
nursing? Nursing is a profession
within the healthcare sector focused on the care of individuals, families, and
communities so they may attain, maintain, or recover optimal health and quality
of life. Nurses may be differentiated from other health care providers by their
approach to patient care, training, and scope of practice. Nurses practice in a
wide diversity of practice areas with a different scope of practice and level
of prescriber authority in each. Many nurses provide care within the ordering
scope of physicians, and this traditional role has come to shape the historic
public image of nurses as care providers. However, nurses are permitted by most
jurisdictions to practice independently in a variety of settings depending on
training level. In the postwar period, nurse education has undergone a process
of diversification towards advanced and specialized credentials, and many of
the traditional regulations and provider roles are changing.
Do you know that the aim of the nursing community worldwide
is for its professionals to ensure quality care for all, while maintaining
their credentials, code of ethics, standards, and competencies, and continuing
their education. There are a number of educational paths to becoming a
professional nurse, which vary greatly worldwide; all involve extensive study
of nursing theory and practice as well as training in clinical skills. Nurses
care for individuals of all ages and cultural backgrounds who are healthy and
ill in a holistic manner based on the individual's physical, emotional,
psychological, intellectual, social, and spiritual needs. The profession
combines physical science, social science, nursing theory, and technology in
caring for those individuals.
Nurses may follow their personal and professional interests
by working with any group of people, in any setting, at any time. Some nurses
follow the traditional role of working in a hospital setting. Most nurses have
been traditionally female. There are also male that involve in nursing. Nursing
practice is the actual provision of nursing care. In providing care, nurses
implement the nursing care plan using the nursing process. This is based around
a specific nursing theory which is selected based on the care setting and
population served. In providing nursing care, the nurse uses both nursing
theory and best practice derived from nursing research.
A nurse must also improve her or his capability with
knowledge. They must update what happen in nursing
2013, every year even time there are some updates in medical
world that a nurse should know and be update at least once a month.
