Nursing Environment In Nursing

In today’s nurse, the work environment has computers and other equipment that were not available a hundred years ago. A technologically advanced hospital can provide an efficient and accurate care to the patient. For instance, computerized medical reports are beneficial when a doctor or a nurse want to trace the medical history of an altered or intubated patient who may not be able to give accurate information during critical situations. These advances act as a safety feature for the patient and hospital. Also, the nursing profession today is no longer for females; it is more culturally diverse and now includes the male gender. Today, there are many organizations that mandate rules and regulations for the nursing practice like the ANA’s (American

Teaching is part of being a nurse (Angelo, 2015). Being a nurse does not only end at providing full care to the patients but also includes proper teaching about the patients’ disease and medications.

It is important that a nurse must not only limit his or her learning inside the skills lab or hospital (Angelo, 2015). Joining associations, programs, community services, and volunteering opportunities can expand nurses’ knowledge, skills, and abilities. The tone of voice must

“A nurse can keep out of the ruts of autonomy in thought and conversation is to maintain her relationship with some church, attend its services as regularly as possible and try to keep in touch with what her own church is doing at home and on foreign fields” (Angelo, 2015). One is not necessarily obliged to have a religion. I am a religious Catholic; I go to church and practice religious traditions, but this does not mean that those nurses who do not have God or religious beliefs make them less than a nurse. It certainly does not make them incompetent in giving quality care. What matters is that they have the knowledge, skills, abilities, compassion, empathy, love for their work, and willingness to help others who are
