As a future nurse, in what ways will physics experiments be beneficial to your job?

physics is present in every aspect of this universe...\nas a nurse u need to measure a lot of human activities like blood pressure,heart rate etc....these r measured with the help of different apparatus....the experiments that u perform now will give u a brief introduction of the different phenomenon that take place.\n   These experiments will further help u to understand the mesurement system n will also help u to find out correct measurements.......\n        keep enjoying the experiments...have fun... :)

Physics.  I like that physics explains things that I see in the world around me, like why airplanes stay up, how bows and arrows work, that sort of thing.  It just seems more real than biology (which also happens all around and inside me, but I can't really see it to think about it) and chemistry (same thing, I just don't think about it as often).

I am considering a career as a nurse.  The medical field interests me, but I don't have the money/patience/mental conditioning to be adoctor.  So I figure a nurse is the next best thing.\n\nAs a doctor, I'd have to solely diagnose patients.  I don't think i can handle that.  Helping a yound child calm down before getting a shot?  Yes (maybe.)\n\nI figure this to be a reason.  Especially COSTS of schooling.

I don't know of anything specific, but check the hospitals. Sometimes they have nurse training programs.

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.

I'm so glad I found this question. I am a nurse.\nPros\n1. Good money. That's what we are all looking for isn't it? Good compensation.\n2. Good health benefits.\n3.Touching someone's life making a difference. It makes you feel good inside.\n\nCons\n1. For the money you bust your butt.\n2. Lots of lifting you ache after a long days work.\n3. You give up holidays\n4. You give up weekends but you get compensated for them.\n5. You work lots of overtime because if someone goes sour on them and it's near the time to leave you can't say."Hold that heart attack I have to go home now."\n6.Lots of icchy yuky things to clean up.\n7. Exposure to lots of germs\n8.You have to drive to work in snowstorms no matter what. People don't go home just because it's snowing out.\n9. Complaining families and patients take their illnesses out on you.\n10. drug seekers constantly screaming for pain meds before they are due. When you finally give it to them they are high as a kite.\n11. Lots of people wanting to sue you.

Challenges: long hours, high stress situations, extreme emotional situations, having to see graphic things, perform under pressure.\nOpportunities: ability to help others, flexible schedule ( a lot of nurses work three 12 hour days (get paid for 40), then have 4 days off), high pay, job security, opportunity to travel

Your local library should have the book "Occupational Outlook". In it it will tell you everything that is required to become a nurse, what the different types are, what the working conditions are like, what salaries they make, and job opening prospects for the next few years.\nExcellent job choice by the way. Good for you.

The opportunities in research are limited by your ambition, imagination, and willingness to understand things outside "your" field. \n\nI'm a chemist, so you're going to have to bear with my intrinsic bias here.  I've had the opportunity to do research in a diverse number of areas, with people who call themselves by a variety of titles: biochemist, cancer biologist, cell physiologist, biophysicist, physical chemist, protein chemist, theoretical chemist, analytical chemist, and molecular biologist.  Each of them does something I'm very interested in.  One thing I love about my background (physical chemistry) is that it gives me a solid foundation to look at a wide variety of research areas that impact my passion (understanding the mechanism and treatment of diseases such as cancer).  I believe chemistry truly is "the central science" because ultimately all biological effects boil down to the interaction of molecules within living entites (be they humans or amoeba).  \n\nThink about what attracted you to forensics in the first place.  Was it the problem-solving nature?  If so, that's really just chemistry on a broader scale.  If you're considering changing your major, as you said, what is the reason for that decision?  Have you met a challenging class? Are you bored?  Do you not see relevance?  Its very hard to help you at all without these questions answered.\n\nAs a side note, if you want to work for the CDC/NIH as a researcher, you're probably going to need to pursue an advanced degree.  You should check out their job postings.  As you consider your options, remember, university education isn't just job training.  Potential employers are going to consider your whole resume, including different skillsets acquired outside of class and internship/research experiences.  Best wishes!

Thats sounds like a good idea as you will def need physics at a very good level to do engineering!...;

Anything in the science industry. Mechanical engineering (hopefully you like math as well) and other kinds of engineering. Astronomy. Definitely astronomy. Or just stick to the pure physics and apply to grad school for it.

i think i would go for the education...there will always be a demand for teaching at any grade...kids need to be mentored at all levels, plus its a great feeling to know that you are putting a lasting impression on the future leadership of your local community or perhaps nation.\n\nThis doesnt mean that nursing isnt important though.  there are all kinds of people out there that need the caring touch of a nurse.

A medical physicist is typically someone who operates nuclear radiation imaging of patients in hospitals. Such as Nuclear Magnetic Resonance imagining (NMR machine) or injecting radioactive isotopes into the blood stream to observe blood flow.
