Nursing studies - 31-Jan-2014
Nursing is a profession within the health care sector focused on the care of individuals, families, and communities so they may attain, maintain, or recover optimal health and quality of life.
Nurses may be differentiated from other health care providers by their approach to patient care, training, and scope of practice. Many nurses provide care within the ordering scope of physicians, and this traditional role has come to shape the historic public image of nurses as care providers.
However, nurses are permitted by most jurisdictions to practice independently in a variety of settings depending on training level.
Nurses develop a plan of care, working collaboratively with physicians, therapists, the patient, the patient's family and other team members, that focuses on treating illness to improve quality of life.
Internationally, there is a serious shortage of nurses. One reason for this shortage is due to the work environment (prone to be exposed more vulnerable infectious diseases and poor conditions) in which nurses practice.
Globally, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates a shortage of almost 4.3 million nurses, physicians and other health human resources worldwide - reported to be the result of decades of underinvestment in health worker education, training, wages, working environment and management.
In India, nursing is a profession largely chosen by women. However, male nurses are becoming more common. According to statistics, Kerala and Rajasthan churn out the largest numbers at present. The space occupied by male nurses is still limited to those spaces that require the least interaction with patients such as the ICU. However, people still do not accept male nurses especially in obstetrics/gynaecology departments.
A nursing career is more challenging these days, it is a mentally and physically demanding field. Nurses are exposed to health risks such as infectious diseases while caring for their patients. In order to excel as a nurse, develop loads of patience, courage and a smile that comes automatically.
Nursing Programs can be classified into Auxiliary Nurse & Midwifery, General Nursing & Midwifery, B. Sc (Nursing), M. Sc( Nursing) , M. Phil and Ph D studies.
