having sexual relations with co-workers. Grey’s Anatomy for an example‚ the nurses‚ and doctors are always displaying scenes of sexual relations‚ in the work place at that. In all reality‚ that is not the case. The nursing profession doesn’t even relate to that. Anyone in the nursing profession knows there is no time for sex in between assessments‚ passing medications‚ reviewing orders‚ and charting! Yes‚ of course you want to look appealing and feel confident in your appearance‚ but with that being

Running Head: PHILOSOPHY OF NURSING 1 2 Philosophy of Nursing My philosophy of nursing is centered on the needs of the patients; both physical and emotional. Patient’s needs are not just limited to their primary illness; but their needs include the whole person and their family. A nurse must have the ability to adapt to each patient’s situation and realize that although the core values of the care provided is theoretically the same; each patient requires an individualized plan of

MOOC: Before MOOC my knowledge of dementia was old because I have nursed for over thirty years and had not gained recent knowledge in this field‚ only through personal experience. Since 2008 I have worked on a private ward which includes a mixture of medical‚ surgical and palliative clients. Last year through Alzheimer’s WA I undertook the Dementia Champion course. The course provided a dementia file and instructed us on how to educate. The file emphasized that my knowledge base was absent across

I hope by telling my nursing experience story that it will make you think about a special patient that you had the opportunity to take care of. The night before my first day of clinical I was excited and nervous. I did not know what type of patient I would have and I did not know if nursing was truly for me. I remember lying in bed praying to God to please not let my first patient be a man because I did not know how to take care of a male patient (at least that is what I thought). I kept thinking

In every nurse ’s career‚ the nurse is faced with many legal or ethical dilemmas. Nurses are accountable and responsible for their own morals‚ decisions and behaviors. Nurses are accountable for judgments made and actions taken in the course of nursing practice‚ irrespective of healthcare organizations policies or providers ’ directives‚ which may not always be in the best interest of the patient. It is a nurses’ obligation to decide what is in the best interest of the patient. Using the Josephson

I have interviewed three nurses regarding nursing theories and their applications in real life. In my interview‚ they all came up with the same opinion about the theories. According to them – and I might have to agree – the theories aren’t that much useful to the practical duties as nurses. Though‚ Ernesto admits that these theories are the basis of what nurses do everyday. Eleanor says that when you are in an emergency situation or if immediate action is required‚ you will almost forget to think

The article I chose discusses the continual change in the roles of nurses. The article also poses a concept that nursing now is not based on caring‚ but medicine. "By accepting continual changes to the role of the nurse‚ the core function of nursing has become obscured and‚ despite assuming medical tasks‚ the occupation continues to be seen in terms of a role that is subordinate to and dependent on medicine." (Iley 2004) Nurses are taking a more professional role‚ and more tasks are being delegated

you know that there is 126‚ 000 nursing positions unfilled in hospitals across the country ( Jackson‚ 2006) and the average nurse is 46 years of age? ( Alexandra‚ 2006). The public needs to see that the shortage of nurses is a major issue that is only going to get worse if something is not done about it. It has been shown that since the beginning of the shortage there has been an increase in mortality rates due to a increase of poor patient care. If this nursing shortage continues it will only
