Nursing

Yes, pediatric nurses can specialize in all different types of fields within pediatrics. That includes oncology, respiratory, cardiac etc.

It primarily depends upon the degree and specialization, but as a general rule of thumb - it is. A nurse practitioner has either a Master's degree or a Doctorate degree. There are other nursing specialties that also require these degrees such as Legal Nurse Consultant, Certified Nurse Specialist, Certified Nurse Midwife, and Nurse Educator to name some. Each of these has additional responsibilities above and beyond that of a registered nurse and are comparable to a nurse practitioner other than they are in different fields and responsibilities.

Yes, low oncotic blood pressure is a major cause of dependent pitting edema. Proteins in the blood exert an oncotic pull on blood serum which keeps the serum within the blood vessels. A loss of these proteins decreases the ability of the blood to keep serum within the blood vessels and the serum will leak out into the interstitial space. Gravity then pulls the edema fluid downward into the legs.

Serious injuries related to falls in nursing homes are actually called "Never" events--i.e. they are preventable and should never happen if adequate precautions are taken by the nursing home staff.

For that reason, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid have required nursing homes to report these events so that the Centers can assess whether the nursing home should receive federal reimbursement for services rendered to the resident. Other "never" events include Stage III and Stage IV bedsores.

The best parts of a day for a nurse are when they see all of they're hard work pay off. When a patient tells them that they've made a difference is one example. Most nurses do not get into this career for good times, money or prestige. Most of them get into it in order to actually help people improve or manage some issue with their health. A nurse is a holistic healer. This means that the nurse does not focus on only one aspect of a condition or illness like a doctor focuses on, say, diabetes. The doctor's goal is to focus on the disease and try to control the symptoms such as frequent urination, fatigue, nausea, thirst, skin breakdown, diet, etc.

The nurse's job is to identify the holistic aspects of the whole person and how the disease affects them in all ways. For instance, a nurse would think about the specifics of the diet, the time of day that the meals are taken, what effect certain surfaces have on the patient's skin, the types of shoes they should be wearing to keep their feet healthy, how much sunlight they should or should not be getting, what kinds of exercises are best for this patient, how are they're bowels performing, etc. This is not to say that the doctor doesn't also think of some of these things but the doctor is interested in controlling the symptoms with medications while the nurse will control the holistic person with any legitimate means available, including the doctor's medications.

So, back to the original question. When a nurse percieves that they have done the best job possible and the patient recognizes it, this is the BEST part of the day. If the patient is unable to recognize the nurse's contribution, such as in an emergency situation, the nurse feels great pride and accomplishment just knowing they did everything they could in order to make the patient's life better in some way.

Though your question is a multi-faceted one, this should give you some idea of what "best" really means to a nurse.

Nurses are the workhorses of any hospital or health care facility. They are the ones who care for the patient - taking vital signs, recording symptoms, giving medicine, bathing and comforting, moving the patient from place to place, and making sure the patient is getting everything that is needed to help them get well. Some nurses can prescribe certain medications, just like doctors. Nowadays, you are more likely to receive medical care from a nurse than from a doctor, since nearly all doctor's offices have nurse practitioners who can do almost anything the doctor would do.

The main duties of a pediatric nurses involve: 1) Dispensing medications 2) Triaging 3) Establishing IVs and other devices 4) Helping with feeding, dressing, and personal hygiene 5) Following doctor's orders and keeping updated on other procedures. Coordinating tests. 6) Transfering, and helping patients go to the washroom. 7) Reassure the children, and help them feel at ease.

You need to find a school that offers nursing. There are 2 ways of becoming a nurse, you can either become and LPN first then take a LPN to RN transition at a school or go straight to RN. Some schools offer a certificate others offer associates degree or Bachelors degree. Either choice you can still take the boards and if you pass those you get a license. The schools can require you to take prerequisite courses and take an admissions test.

When you get in the program you have a lecture portion of the class and a clinical portion of the class where you are in a hospital under the supervision of your instructor. You have to pass both the clinical portion and lecture portion.

You do have to be sure this is what you want. It is a hard profession to get into to but if you put the effort in it you will find it is rewarding.

Advantages of utilising the nursing process are ensuring that the care patients receive is planned, ensuring it meets their individual and specific needs, ensuring the continuity of care amongst professionals as they would all follow a specific plan and providing a clearer idea about the effectiveness of the interventions by a review of whether the outcomes of care have been achieved (WHO, 1999).

The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) is a terminal professional degree that focuses on the clinical aspects of nursing rather than academic research. The curriculum for the DNP degree generally includes advanced practice, leadership, and application of clinical research. The DNP is intended primarily to prepare registered nurses to become advanced practice registered nurses.
