Book Synopsis Forty-Five Years in White Uniforms by : C. L. G. Solomon
Download or read book Forty-Five Years in White Uniforms written by C. L. G. Solomon and published by Xlibris. This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forty five years in white uniforms From the pen of the same writer of the book Natural Bread Is Not Enough comes a partial biographical account of her forty-five-year nursing career. Seventeen years were spent working in various disciplines of nursing, while the final twenty-eight years were spent working in public health nursing. In keeping with HIPPA laws, which are designed to protect the privacy of clients and their information, no part of this writing at any point ever divulges anyone's name or records. The information is recollected from various work experiences, in various cities and states, over a period of years. Forty-five years have not qualified me to be an authority in the nursing field. It has simply given me various insights that someone else may read about and make a quality career decision. I had classmates who dropped out of nursing school and stated, "Nursing definitely is not for me." Some students failed because they underestimated the amount of study and dedication involved in becoming a nurse. Some students were not willing to spend long hours in study and research. Some found that the sights and smells of blood and other body fluids were definite turnoffs. One other classmate completed the entire nursing program with a 4.0 average, only to say she hated it. She never practiced a day of nursing. She excelled in clinicals as well as in the classroom. She received the highest academic award in our class, yet nursing was not her cup of tea. The experiences that I encountered in my personal life somewhat intensified my desire to become a nurse. I am happy to have been able to practice the kind of work that was very satisfying to me. The nursing knowledge that paralleled certain difficult times in my life was priceless. Nursing is the type of profession that one can practice in different settings with various categories of people, such as the aged, the middle aged, the young adults, the teens, the expectant moms and their children the newborn, premature babies and people with special needs. Work settings run the gamut from hospitals to jails, institutions, the military, private homes, clinics, schools, rehabilitation centers of different types, and other settings not mentioned. Someone once said, "Variety is the spice of life." Variety abounds in the nursing profession. A nurse can expand on her career by becoming an advanced registered nurse practitioner, nurse anesthetist, midwife, legal consultant, or she may go on to medical school to be a physician. Nurses also train other nurses. Administration is another career option within nursing. One of the first things a prospective nurse needs to consider is which type of program she should choose. Some students choose the certified nursing assistant (CNA) program. They want to obtain some of the basic skills and a quick job. These skills often include learning to take vital signs, such as blood pressure, pulse, and respiration. They learn how to do basic care and other skills that can assist the nurse in his/her work. CNA skills can serve as a pivotal point for the person to move higher into the medical profession. Some certified nursing assistants advance their training and become registered nurses and doctors. Nurses are trained in programs of different length and at different levels. Licensed practical nurses, or LPNS, may train one or more years depending on where they train. Registered nurses, or RNs, may complete an associate's degree and start work after licensure. RNs may also complete a four-year baccalaureate-degree program. All levels must be certified. Some medical facilities offer CNA training whereby a student may work and train in their facility at the same time. Upon completion of training, the student is expected to work for the institution for a contracted amount of time. The student may stop at this level or move further into the profession. Associate and baccalaureate programs are located on College campuses. A C

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through the 50 years of my nursing career there were many new innovations in the field of medicine, nursing practice and equipment. This story will discuss these changes and include the various facilities where I worked: there were three hospitals in New England and, following a major move to Florida, four others. Experiences from nurses training, early employment and transition to new and improved skills are explained. The requirement for continuing education caused a group of nurses to develop an education program available to all nurses in our locale. In the 80s I helped plan and get approval for a licensed practical nursing school in Desoto County, Florida. My marriage of 56 years and five healthy children gave me much satisfaction. After retirement, I did some traveling, and ultimately I took care of my terminally ill mother and husband at home. This brought my nursing skills full circle.

Book Synopsis A Fifty Year Nursing Career Unwrapped by : Pat Camillo
Download or read book A Fifty Year Nursing Career Unwrapped written by Pat Camillo and published by . This book was released on 2024-04-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nursing is a profession that is as varied as life itself! In my fifty years as a nurse, I practiced in all kinds of settings from hospitals to private offices and from storefront clinics to telehealth. I worked in intensive care and primary care. My patients ranged from high-risk newborns to chronically ill elderly, some of whom died in my arms. This memoir shares many of these powerful and unforgettable moments.My personal health paralleled my work. I was diagnosed with severe endometriosis at age 24, infertility, and eventually an early surgical menopause followed by bilateral mastectomies. There were periods of extreme stress that contributed to a midlife disability resulting in both of my hips being replaced.Through all of this, I clawed my way up the career ladder as an adult learner from a community college to a Ph.D. Being a single parent added yet another dimension to my life and understanding of how lives and health are often impacted by sociocultural circumstances. My story traces how and why I chose nursing and what beliefs and values guided me in the care that I gave to others. I felt compelled to confront racism, incivility, and unethical behavior both in clinical and academic settings. The negative consequences of these choices were followed by the trauma I experienced related to age discrimination. My story shines a light not only on nursing but on how culture impacts success or failure in the working world. It's a story that many will find relatable.

Download or read book A Caring Life written by Keith Cox and published by Macmillan Publishers Aus.. This book was released on 2022-04-26 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a nurse for nearly fifty years, Keith Cox provided expert care and comfort to countless people facing the unimaginable. With insight and sensitivity, A Caring Life takes us behind the scenes of his remarkable nursing career and the moving stories of hope, determination and loss that underpinned it. Along the way, he shares lessons gained from a career spent confronting mortality, from finding joy in difficult circumstances to understanding that true strength comes in thinking of others and being part of a community. Over the years, Keith has seen dramatic advances in medical treatment, as well as the limits of what medical intervention can achieve - which is why compassion and grace are his guiding principles, both on the ward and in his own life. A Caring Life is the inspirational story of a nursing trailblazer who has learnt firsthand the value of human connection and kindness, in challenging times and in everyday life - and the satisfaction of living a life of service and meaning. Praise for A Caring Life 'A Caring Life is an appropriate testimony to one of this country's silent heroes. His empathy, knowledge and gentle grace have become hallmarks in the compassionate treatment and care of cancer patients.' - Anthony Warlow AM 'A firsthand account of those dealing with cancer is presented here as a reminder to us that at times of despair, we are not alone.' - Max Cullen 'Keith Cox is the angel you'd hope to have by your bedside when it matters most, that humane and reassuring presence when illness turns the world upside down.' - Matthew Condon
