what are the activities of trustworthly in nursing?
124571
To be trustworthy means to be able to be relied on to do whatever is necessary for the care and comfort of your patient. To not take advantage or abuse your patient in any way, as that patient is completely dependent on you for his/her care and well-being.\nIn another sense, it also means that you have the moral character to not help yourself to that helpless person's belongings. Which is also considered to be another form of abuse.

There are hundreds of different types of nurses just as there are lots of different specialities of doctors.  There are nurses on surgical wards, medical wards, orthopaedic wards, intensive care units, renal wards and units, operating theatres, A&E depts.  There are GP practice nurses, district nurses, nurse practitioners, nurse consultants, research nurses, rehab. nurses, out-patient nurses, health promotion nurses,nursing home nurses, hospice nurses and many many more.  Nurses are professionals who, as part of a team care for patients to promote recovery or make as comfortable as possible where recovery is not acheivable.  They make important decisions on the treatment of individuals and it's about time that they were recognised by the Government and the corrupt NHS managers (who haven't a clue what patients need)  for their important role!

Dear Sir,\n\nPhysics governs the world as we know it. Seriously, you use it everyday, and you will need to know it to be successful in nursing. For example, there's a difference between someone who was hit with a car traveling 5 mph, versus one that travels 115 mph. That difference being breathing and circulation. \n\nNevertheless, there is a strong correlation (r=.9445) between nursing and physics. Here' s another example: let's say I yell at you in passing. You will hear the loudest volume and highest pitch of my yelling as I'm directly in front of you. This is relevant when your charge nurse begins to yell at you from a distance, versus when she/he yells at you from 6 inches away. \n\nHope this helps,\n\nPianoguy

Nurses are not mute “doctor’s handmaidens” or “helpers”. Neither are they mere “Nancy Do Gooders”, “Angels of Mercy”, dumb bimbos, sex toys for residents, or servants who perform a plethora of menial tasks “after getting approval from a doctor”. \n\n\nNursing is a self-governing scientific healthcare discipline practiced by professionals who have received between two to ten years of formal university education taught by nurse educators prepared at the Master’s or Doctoral level, successfully passed state board of nursing examinations, and in many cases have additional education and certification in specialty areas of nursing practice. \n\nNursing is a distinct and autonomous healthcare profession with its own unique standards of practice, scope of practice, and professional organizations that practices in collaboration with the Medical profession in addition to the Allied Health Professions as part of the health care team.\n\nNurses serve as chief executive officers of corporations and hospitals, on boards of directors, teach in the community health setting as well as in PhD Nurse Educator roles in Universities and help develop policies that guide the course of healthcare delivery.

Your local health department or hospital should be able to connect you with the local Visiting Nurses Association.  In addition to services they provide, the VNA often has a list of private duty nurses and home health assistants that you can hire privately to come to the home and clean, make meals, or even stay the night with your mom.\n\nGood luck to you.

Florence Nightingale- reduced war(Crimean War) time deaths but nearly 1/2, she did this by keeping the Hospitals clean, assessment,  she started Training for nurses to make the profession a respectable one for women. \nVirginia Henderson-defined nursing as "assisting individuals to gain independence in relation to the performance of activities contributing to health or its recovery". She was one of the first nurses to point out that nursing does not consist of merely following physician's orders... see link http://www.enursescribe.com/Henderson.htm\nDorothea Orem - http://members.aol.com/annmrn/nursing_portfolio_I_index.html\nSister Callista Roy- http://www.geocities.com/ninquiry2002/callistaroy\n\nMartha Rogers- http://www.nursingworld.org/hof/rogeme.htm\n\n\n** Hope this Helps**

A nurse is a health care professional who is engaged in the practice of nursing. Nurses are men and women who are responsible (along with other health care professionals) for the treatment, safety and recovery of acutely or chronically ill or injured people, health maintenance of the healthy, and treatment of life-threatening emergencies in a wide range of health care settings. Nurses may also be involved in medical and nursing research and perform a wide range of non-clinical functions necessary to the delivery of health care.\n\nNurses acknowledge that the nursing profession is an essential part of the society from which it has grown. The authority for the practice of nursing is based upon a social contract that delineates professional rights and responsibilities as well as mechanisms for public accountability. The practice of nursing involves altruistic behavior and is governed by a code of ethics.\n\nNursing has developed an extensive body of knowledge and associated skills that require extensive study to master. There are a number of educational paths to becoming a professional nurse but all involve extensive study of nursing theory and practice and training in clinical skills.\n\nIn almost all countries, nursing practice is defined and governed by law. Entrance to the profession and nursing practice are regulated by national, state, or territorial boards of nursing.

CNA's handle personal care for patients. Bathing,Feeding, cleaning up any accidents, taking them to the toilet(if they can't themselves), dressing, range of motion exercises(for those that need it), taking temperatures, blood pressures, emptying cathetor bags,.. and the list goes on and on.\n\nOn the 3rd shift we would have to do rounds every 2 hours and make sure noone was soiled. If they were, you had to change them. Take temperatures of those that needed it, empty cath bags, turn the people that couldn't turn themselves (so they did not get bedsores) When you have up to 18 patients a night, it is not easy. We also had to get 2 up and ready each morning.Sometimes pass out food trays and help feed. Plus charting intake(fluids) and outputs(urine)\n\nHope that helps.

Nursing requires intelligence and a good memory. You must be good with people of all ages and races. You must practice good ethics and always be honest. You must be able to deal with body fluids. If someone vomits are you going to be able to help them clean up without wrinkling your nose. You can't make that person feel worse by making a face. Try to get all your prerequisites completed before entering the actual nursing courses. Nursing requires continuing study you may learn new procedures or facts daily. New drugs are coming out all the time and you must keep up with them. I love nursing and would recommend this course of study for anyone. You must first get the English language mastered. You could also work as a nurses aide to see if you really are meant to be a nurse. Good Luck

I am not a nurse, MD.\nA nurse is best with a considerate manner that shows passion and love for not only their position and profession, but more so for their patient.\nHaving a learning and understanding ear, a smile when required, and the ability to speak up for the patients best interest.

As a nurse you will be making decisions every day that involve ethics.  This includes everything from respecting patient's privacy and confidentiality to issues of care at the end of life.  You may also experience conflict with other nurses, and other medical personnel about their behavior, which you may not view as proper and ethical.  It is very important for you to learn what ethics means, and also for you to determine what your own ethical standards are.  Best wishes to you...we need ethical nurses to speak for those who cannot!
