From the moment you were born, there was a nurse there to help you take care of yourself. Since then, every time you’ve been sick or hurt and needed to see a doctor, she’s been there for you. As important as nurses are to our health, they rarely get the credit they deserve. Without quality professionals in this profession, we would all suffer.
They work very hard and many must work on holidays and other special occasions when others are on vacation. Their salaries are starting to improve a bit because the demand for them has become so great. Hospitals and doctors have started to realize how valuable a good nurse is to their job.
The nursing field has many levels. Probably the three best known are nursing assistant, licensed practical nurse, and registered nurse. As the levels progress, you need more education and have more job responsibilities. At any level, a professional nurse gives everything for the benefit of patients. There are many vacancies in this profession as there is a shortage of qualified professionals.
They, like doctors, can choose to specialize. They may work exclusively in emergency rooms or for a private practice. Some work in specialties like newborn care, cancer centers, or many other areas. Every area of medicine needs nursing professionals to be successful.
Everyone in this profession strives to provide excellent patient care. If you are going to see your GP, there is always a nurse available to inquire about your visit and obtain any necessary information. They obtain your vital signs so that the process is expedited for the doctor. If a doctor has an excellent nurse, he knows that her job will be much easier.
Unfortunately, at some point in our lives we will probably have to visit a hospital emergency room. When that time comes, a nurse will be there to get your information and make you as comfortable as possible until the doctor arrives. Once the doctor orders specific tests or x-rays, she will monitor to make sure the correct tests are done.
Once you enter the hospital, a nurse will be there to get your information and make sure you are comfortable. She will see her doctor for only a few minutes a day, but she will be there at all times. If you have a need, she will be there quickly to help you. She will help you no matter how big or small you need. If she needs surgery, she’ll be there when she wakes up. She is there for you in case she has any medical needs.
Nurses provide many people with excellent health care. We often forget how valuable they are to our health. If you have someone who gives you excellent care, please let her know how grateful you are for the work she and so many others like her do. While they don’t do her job for praise, it’s the least we can do for these medical heroes.
