Nurse Persuasive Speech
I. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of registered nurses is expected to grow 15 percent from 2016 to 2026, much faster than the average for all occupations.
II. Do you think the role of nurse is more important than that of a doctor? Of course it is.
III. I have done extensive research on the internet about what a nurse’s job consists of compared to a doctor’s.
IV. Today, I would like to persuade you that a nurse’s job is in fact more important than doctor’s job. Although doctors are important, a nurse’s role is more important because they have a more physically demanding job, hospitals could not run without them, and they make many recommendations for your care.

Registered nurses are allowed and/or required to be active in their careers.
A. Nursing is career that requires stamina, quickness, an understanding of the senses and a willingness to use your own body language to get the job done (Nursing). In my research on the Marian University website titled, “Nursing: A Non-Sedentary and Physical career,” written by Marian University Nursing, published on June 16, 2014, I found the following information.
1. The average American takes about 5,117 steps a day, which is approximately 2.5 miles.
2. Typically, a nurse can walk up to 4-7 miles during their shift alone, which is roughly 8,000-14,000 steps.
B. A nurse will rely on their senses quite a bit while doing their job.
1. Nurses will use their sight to observe patients looking for broken bones, wounds, bruises, lumps and bumps, and several other things.
2. They use their hearing to listen to a patient’s symptoms, heartbeat, and unusual breath sounds to name a few things.
3. Nurses are trained to recognize smells coming from a wound that may indicate an infection and several other smells that could indicate problems within the body.
4. Lastly, they use their sense of touch looking for coolness or heat of the skin and to locate and identify lumps or broken …show more content…
Nursing can be mentally demanding and emotionally draining as well. But, the people who truly love what they do, do not mind the physical demands of the job.
E. Now let’s discuss what the role of a physician is and how physically demanding it can be. In my research on the UT-InterProfessional Education website, sponsored by the University of Texas at Austin titled, “Physician Role,” I found the following information.
1. Although a physician is important, their job just is not as physically demanding as a nurse’s job.
2. To summarize, physician’s unique role focuses on performing a history and physical to determine a differential diagnosis for the patient, including most likely diagnosis, and then developing management and treatment plans for those conditions/diseases (The University of Texas at Austin).
Transition: Now let’s discuss how hospitals could not run without nurses.
II. Depending what the type of nurse, the duties and responsibilities will vary. In my research on the Aurora University website titled, “Responsibilities and Duties of a Registered Nurse,” published on March 31, 2017, I found the following
