I’m (McMurphy) starting to think that trying to rebel and act ornery towards the Big Nurse is a bad idea. I know that it would be right to keep fighting the fact that the women are trying to rule us, but fighting the matriarchy may not benefit me. Not to long ago I figured out that the nurse can keep me here as long as she wants. Originally, I was planning on only serving my sentence and leaving. However, my behavior could warrant staying here forever, and I’m not even a psychopath.
Coincidentally, on the same day, my father was going to have a complicated surgery. My mother and I took him to the hospital and waited there for 10 hours. I would never forget my father's grateful look when he woke up after the surgery and saw me sitting next to him in a recovery room. When we returned home that evening, I checked my School.net account and saw that Dr.
My instructor was a spunky woman. She stood at 5’4 with long, brown locks. She possessed a big personality and an even bigger aspiration for her career. On the first day of class she told us she was a registered nurse. She presented her career as emotionally fulfilling and gratifying.

I came crying to my parents, but they laughed out loudly and said it easily " It must be your sister's work, just ignore it." . Suddenly, a sense of embarrassing grabbed me, courage came out and I decided to overcome my fear, no one can make jokes on me. That night, I went into the bathroom and turned on both sets of lights. I stared at the mirror for a long time, afraid to do anything.
National Security within the United States has been a concern since the 1930s and is only heightened during times of war. Naturally, due to the conflicts with particular countries, World War II and the Cold War created racial stereotypes. Unfortunately, those stereotypes lead to racially bias legal doctrines being created within the United States . The court was not alone in shaping these doctrines, as there was immense pressure from both public and military interests. Particular cases, during WWII and the Cold War, can give examples of how people shouldn’t be treated and how, at the time, every man and women wasn’t truly created equal within the United States, that the 14th amendment was a written law but not properly
My life goal of being a nurse practitioner affected my choice of destination in history. If I could go back in time, I would go back to Hickory, North Carolina in June of 1944, which is only thirty minutes away from my home in Taylorsville, North Carolina. This small town became the center of the largest polio outbreak in the United States. “Polio” is short for “poliomyelitis”, a disease that targets the leg, arm, stomach and muscles of the back. If polio paralyzes the chest muscles of the victim, it can be fatal by not allowing the person to breathe.
Adult nurses care for patients over the age of 18 who are suffering from a variety of health conditions, varying from acute and long-term illnesses and diseases to minor injuries and aliments. They support the patient’s recovery by focusing on the needs of the patient instead of the illness or condition, carrying out care procedures and assessments and using care plans. As well as this , they promote good health and well-being through education and clinics on topics such as quitting smoking, weight loss and diabetes. Nurse’s normally work within a multidisciplinary team but are often the main point of call for patients, and often provide the most continuity of care.
Nursing, and everything that it entails, cannot be easily described in just one simple word or phrase. It goes beyond the meaning of a profession and the stereotypical definition of treating the ill. Nursing is the “protection, promotion, and optimization of health and abilities, prevention of illness and injury, alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human response, and advocacy in the care of individuals, families, communities, and populations” (American Nurses Association, 2010, p. 1). Therefore, it is a career that requires dedication, passion, critical thinking, and knowledge. It demands commitment and an understanding of its core values and concepts, as well as the nurse’s own personal philosophy and principles.
Since the beginning of my nursing journey, I have heard about the nursing shortage. It seems unreal to me simply because of how competitive nursing school is and the amount of people that try to become nurses. So why do we have a nursing shortage? “The persistent nursing shortage is challenging the values and beliefs of the nursing profession and causing nurses to ask how they can fulfill their ethical responsibilities to patients when there are an insufficient number and a maldistribution of nurses” (Erlen, 2004, p. 289).
Making a difference I started my health care career as a nursing assistant at the young age of 16 years-old perusing the dream of one day becoming a nurse. At that time, I really had no idea what I was getting myself into and what it meant to be in the health care. I have been able to touch and impact so many different people’s lives throughout the last 6 years from patients and residents to their family members. Sometimes not even realizing that I was changing someone’s life. Although I’ve helped hundreds of people there is one person that will I will always remember.

During the day Sunday, I had to work. I work at a nursing home taking care of patients in rehab. During work, I always get many compliments on how hardworking and terrific I am, many of the patients are very grateful for what I do for them. I take the compliments very well and always say thank you. I had this new patient, so I went into the room and introduced myself.
One Saturday afternoon I planned to leave work early to pick up my daughter from school, so she could get ready for her homecoming dance. I got held up in a meeting at work and did not leave on time. I wanted to please my coworkers, so I stayed for the entire meeting. As I was running out the door, a coworker stopped me to ask me a few questions she had about cutting hair. I decided to help her because I wanted to please her also.
While working full- time as a technician, I attended college and quickly took all the needed courses to apply into a nursing program. I was attending college and had a full time job. Having both challenged and excited me, since I was one step closer to having my career; just as I promised my grandmother. I finally got accepted into nursing school, graduated, and became a Registered Nurse. Every single patient I cared for, I used my past experience with my family, and used that as my foundation for my bedside manner.
