I need help with a paper for class. Haven't been in school for over 10yrs. Please, if someone could look over it and give me any input on how to make it better. I am terrible at grammar, writting papers, english... Thanks!!
My personal definition of nursing is a of team of individuals that provide knowledge, care, safety, and support. I believe that these are all vitally essential in nursing. If a breakdown occurs in any one of the previously mentioned then a domino effect begins. Inevitably putting the patient at risk.
My belief is that the role of nursing in general is to promote the patient's quality of life, provide patient care, carry out doctor's orders, and protect the patient. Providing patient care whether it be carrying out doctor's orders, bed bath, assisting with ADL's is a very importan role of nursing. Protecting the patient also entails providing a safe physical and emotional environment.
My assumptions of nursing are constantly changing now that I am in school to be a nurse. I used to think that once you were a "nurse" that was it, boy was I wrong. Education and practice are essential and continual in the nursing field. Some of my assumptions may be naive due to my recent arrival to the field. One of those assumptions is that nursing is looked at as being the bottom of the healthcare ladder, although very important. I have heard that the more education you have as a nurse the less interaction with patients. I always thought that nurses are more hands on and report patient information and status to the doctor. I guess the assumptions and realities of nursing depend on the person. Not all nurses are the same. Situations and circumstances will always vary.
My personal reflections of nursing are greatly varied due to the many interactions over my lifetime with the nursing field. As a child I saw nurses being comforting, smiling, and reassuring. As I got older I have seen nurses like I just described, but I have also seen nurses who show no empathy, are judgmental, and sometimes unwilling to listen because they already know what is wrong. I can say that the latter of the two are far and few between, but are out there just the same. Just like any profession there are the exceptions and then there are the exceptional. We have to strive to be the exceptional!
Legal aspects of nursing consist of unintentional torts, intentional torts, consent, abuse, and education. An unintentional tort is done without intent or malice, an intentional tort is the opposite and are meant to be detrimental. Malpractice and negligence are a couple of unintentional torts. Intentional torts are defamation, restraint, invasion of privacy, fraud, assault, and battery. Consent is informed when the person has been given all of the information and clearly understands the treatment. Abuse consists of verbal, physical, and emotional exploitation of a person. Education is continual and monitored by state agencies. The legal aspects of nursing focus on safety and consistency.
Ethical aspects of nursing consist of what is morally right and wrong. Providing care without judgment and with an open-mind. Handle person's care and medical information with confidentiality and discretion. Respect rights, beliefs, and values of other people. Having empathy for others. Knowing and doing what is right is a part of being a nurse and a caring person.
My professional interest in nursing has been evolving as a child and was put on hold until this last year. I have always enjoyed being a caregiver and helping people. The opportunity for job advancement, growth, variety of jobs within the field, and benefits makes it that much more appealing. I look forward to the challenges and continual learning process that comes with this profession.
