Nursing

Ever since I was a little girl I have always loved helping others feel better. I have always had a heart of gold and this is why I have chosen Nursing as my career choice. I feel like becoming a registered nurse is where I will belong and be most happy at. I am most fulfilled when I know I am helping, and doing for others. I am a very passionate individual and show a lot of compassion in everything I do, which are key qualities most nurses have. Although registered nurses have many responsibilities I have found under the “Occupational Outlook Handbook” allot of questions I had about my duties , salary, advancement opportunities, educational requirements, specialties, and re-licensures.
As a registered nurse my duties would typically be but not limited too many functions to help assist patient needs. Registered nurses provide and coordinate patient care, educate patients and the public about various health conditions, and provide advice and emotional support to patients and their family members. Daily care of an admitting patients. By administering medication, setting IVs, giving shots, providing emotional support, basic diagnostics, and other patient procedures. Also they make sure the medical equipment is running and functioning properly. An important ethical responsibility for you as an RN is to maintain the privacy and confidentiality of a patient’s records and private information. Make sure patients know what medicine and treatments they will need while in the hospital and once they go home. Keeping patient charts and plans are up to date. Making sure patient reports are complete and thorough and report to the registered nurse taking charge of the next shift. Be able to instruct to the patient and their families how to care for the patients once at home. Administer patient medicines and treatment while in the hospital. Most registered nurses work with a team of physicians to help assist patients and attend to their needs. The national
