As a nurse, our duty is to protect our patients, do them no harm, intervene in their behalf for the best care, be their advocate, incorporate them in their care, allow them to choose their care, not to push our beliefs on them, listen, prevent pain, work with other staff to expedite their care and release to home. Having said all of this, we are placed in ethical dilemmas caring for our patients. That is why we watch our own for un-ethical behavior, to prevent harm to our patients. It places health care workers to a higher standard and we must practice what we provide for our patients. There are standards of care established for patients and there are organizations that are paid to keep those standards of care intact like Joint Commission of Hospital Accreditation.

Nursing is an excellent career choice if you have the ability to block out negative energy.  I nursed for 4 years and had absolutley no problem at first, but once i started seeing so much pain and suffering day in and day out, i could no longer separate my job from my life and found myself sinking into a depression thinking about all the people that I had seen suffer and die.  Unfortunately I could not get the good to outway the negative anymore and was forced for my own sanity to quit doing what I loved.

A topic that I feel is very important for the patient and community is patient confidentiality. This is something where both patients and community need to be aware of and repsect the confidentiality of others because everyone has the right to their own privacy. People love to gossip, so sometimes if someone in healthcare or someone happens to see someone in the hospital, they will go and tell their friends and it spreads like wildfire. A lot of times people don't want others to know their health problems or have people also spread false information about who they see in the hospital which causes that patient more grief when they are approached with this false information. So i feel that teaching the patients and community to respect the rights of privacy of others is one of the most important type of ethical issues that can be addressed.

A careerist in search of an issue? Not sure why she should be singled out when plenty of politicians have a similar itch

If I understand your question correctly, I would say the following psychosocial family issues would affect nursing care:\n\n1. Child/Spouse abuse\n2. Pregnancy in an underage, unemancipated teen\n3. Eating disorder in an underage, unemancipated teen\n4. Alzheimer's disease or senile dementia\n5. Any chronic psychological condition, i.e., schizophrenia, etc.\n6. Any terminal illness

Try to find some sort of controversial topic, this way, you will be able to find lots of info. But try to avoid overused topics; abortion, capital punishment, etc. Good topics (that do need to be narrowed) might be UFOs, conspiracy theories, free speech(I did one on protests and why they should be regulated). But most importantly, pick something of interest to you. For example, I know someone that likes fantasy books, so she wrote about witchcraft references in Harry Potter.\nYou can get a lot of GOOD info on civil liberties from things like Supreme Court decisions.

Of course nursing school is hard; every school program designed to get you into a professional career is hard.  It gets even harder once you are done and are working.  \n\nAt this point in time there seem to be three main drawbacks to nursing: 1) being overworked because of understaffing, 2) the regulations and policies that can interfere with patient care because you have so much else to do, 3) (this goes for every profession) bad managers who don't know what they are doing.\n\nThe above comes second-hand; my wife (and thus many of my friends) are nurses.  The above three things are the main things they gripe about when they talk about nursing (which is all the time).

Nursing competency is the working body of knowledge by a certain group of nurses. Competency not only refers to the actual body of knowledge, but how that person uses that knowledge. See some material on nursing educational theorists Patricia Benner and Dorothy del Bueno.

Unfortunately there are still a few.\n\nFortunately, there numbers dwindle each year.  \n\nRemember, we live in a world where nearly half the population can’t name their local community leaders. (Governors, Mayors etc...), why many of the holidays are important or any number of other 'common' facts. Thy certainly do not understand the truth behind most political issues let alone the facts behind a major health issue. \n\nI mean come on, how many people still smoke and then get upset when they find out they have lung cancer? Or how many people get mad at the police when they are arrest for DUI? Do you think they understand AIDS?
