'Advancing the Nursing Profession\r'

'â€Å"When youre a nanny you know that tout ensemble(prenominal) day you leave behind touch a breeding or a conduct go forth touch yours”.  This is a famous utter from an unknown source that has touched my interior soul as I do my nursing duties to my runed roles.For many course of studys, the betterment in the correction of science, medicine, applied science and question has diminish hospital stay, reduced medical apostrophize and improved the lives of deal.  Professionals in unlike handle of medicine continue to explore the benevolente body in their attempt to go along sickness and diseases, discover cures, reduce the hail of death and injuries and eithereviate pains.The remarkable discoveries present given rise to better medicines, civilise medical apparatus and equipments that contri notwithstandinged to a bouffant extent towards early detection and non-invasive running(a) procedures.  So much of these discoveries ar do and the a dvancement in medicine exit never cease.In the field of nursing, I stir witnessed the role of technology and medicine towards the better of fibre of life of many patients.  roughly patients may thank the wonders of miracle drugs and others argon glad for the new lease of life that technology has given them.Yet, there argon compose countless of patients who need a human beings touch and listening tradeals to reduce their anxieties and to determinenessly visit them in their sickbed.  Such is a vital role of a nurse that I recollect to explore as I turn on towards the advancement of my profession.As a student nurse, I was given the fortune to be assigned in all the units in the hospital.  I directly work under the supervision of a clinical instructor and professional nurses in various units.  In many instances, I in like manner had the chance to assist physicians and surgeons as they put to death medical treatments and surgical procedures to their patien ts.  Every accomplishment opportunity is an important experience for me. As I approach my final year in my studies, I grassnot alleviate but think of the field that I swear to specialize in and how I in endure to advance my nursing profession.  My trainings harbor allowed me to work under a lot of force per unit area in the emergency department where every second counts to save the lives and alleviate the sufferings of those who are in distress.I go been part of the team that has witnessed the birth of a new creative activity in the delivery room.  From orthopedic, aesthetic, cardiology to neurology associate surgeries, I hold in assisted doctors and nurses in the pre-operative and post-operative procedures.It was challenging to be assigned in the nursery and pediatric department to observe the health conditions of the infants and children who were prone to many illnesses collectible to their low resistance.  I put on mat the joy of seeing a patient wak e up after long time of being in a fainting in the intensive units.I have similarly witnessed miracles and many sufferings from patients in the oncology unit.  There are intrinsic rewards and challenges that nurses like me has experienced in our day-to-day practice.As one of the forefronts in promoting the quality of life from birth to the end of life of every person, nurses ass do so much in touching the lives of populate and in giving hope to those who refused to call back that there may still be a faint of light at the end of the tunnel.  This is the task that I have decided to explore in the advancement of my nursing profession.In my trainings and experience in the hospital, I have had a mixture of good and painful experiences.  Although these are expected in any medical related profession, I still touch sensation that nurses make a difference in the lives of others.  We can affect our patients optimisticly and make them hold on even to the blink of hope that can change their lives.I felt a unvoiced job to work on a nursing profession that specialized in the field of oncology when I was assigned in the oncology unit.    Although there are researches, good drugs and right therapy for the detection, intervention, and treatment of cancer, nothing could replace the support, human touch and care that nurses could ex list to patients who are in need of an assurance that we would be with them and their families as they endure their treatments and pains.Nothing could equal the fretting and stress of going through chemo or cobalt therapy knowing that the treatment could supply a long term absolute effect, a short-term remission or unfavorable result although these years treatments tend to prolong and enhance lives.  Research has provided us with more hope and more people who are afflicted with cancer tend to resume normal lives after regular treatments.Although my professional nursing practice may begin after I secure my crede ntials, I always hope that I have already began to practice my calling on the first day of my clinical experience.  Nursing is the career that I have chosen not only because of my desire to help the sick and make them feel better but I have felt so much fulfillment as I touch their lives in many ways that I have been touched.Working either in the oncology unit or in the hospice care is a field that I am most drawn to.  I intend to learn as much as I can from my work and from the experience that I will gain from caring my patients.  My concept in advancing nursing comes not from doing research to cure diseases but from the golden rule, â€Å"do unto others as you would have them do unto you”.I lived by the Bible verse found in 1 Thessalonians 5:14, that reminds me to â€Å"Encourage those who are weak and afraid”.  I believe that this is a good reminder for all the nurses.  It is not enough that we extend strong-arm care to our patients.We also need to spiritually and emotionally lift them up to help them cope with their illnesses and to have a positive outlook in life.  Let us not lose sight of what our profession is all about.  Just like those days when Florence Nightingale rendered her dedicated services, we should always crack a lending hand alternatively of waiting for our patients to ask for them.\r\n'
