Nursing

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Nursing is a comprehensive applied science based on the theory of natural sciences and social sciences to study, maintain, and restore human health nursing theories, knowledge, skills and development laws. It is an independent discipline in medical science. Nursing includes knowledge of the natural sciences such as biology, physics, chemistry, anatomy, and physiology.

Nursing is a discipline with extremely strong skills. It requires practice and good hands-on ability. The most important thing is to be able to work hard and serve the patients.

NURSING VS MEDICINE:

1. Medicine takes 12-15 years of education and training. Nursing only takes four years.

Medicine takes almost 12-15 years of education and training. Nursing major takes four years for the Bachelor's degree while the Associate's degree only takes two years. Medicine requires numerous specific courses, such as Anatomy 1, Anatomy 2, Physiology 1, and Physiology 2. In nursing, science subjects are generally such as Anatomy and Physiology combined. In medicine, diseases are discussed in depth. The pathophysiology of the disease is discussed at the biomolecular level. In nursing, diseases are also discussed in depth but not as specifically as in medicine. The pathophysiology is discussed at the body system level only.

2. The responsibility and tasks of doctors are greater than nurses.

In hospital settings, doctors give orders; they prescribe medicine; they give the diagnosis and prognosis of the patient, and they perform surgery. They also participate in medical research. The nurse cannot do all of these or else there will be a breach of responsibility. This may be brought to court, and the nurse may be a candidate for license revocation. Nurses, on the other hand, carry out the doctor's orders. They give medications to the patients and are in charge of updating the doctor regarding the patient's condition. Nurses can also assist the doctors during operations and surgery. They can also save lives in the absence of doctors by giving cardiopulmonary resuscitation to revive the patient. Nurses are concentrated towards nursing research.

3. Compared with medicine, the degree of specialization of nursing is low.

The nurse has mastered more than 150 skills that can be applied during clinical rotation. But doctors should master these skills and more skills, and it depends on the profession they serve. Nurses can choose majors such as oncology nurses, dialysis nurses and emergency nurses. In some areas, such as nurse anesthesiologists, nurses must obtain a master's degree to specialize. On the other hand, doctors can choose pediatrics, geriatrics, internal medicine, surgery and other majors. Medical school graduates need two to three years of internship after graduation.

4. Nurses rely on experience and doctors rely on new knowledge.

Doctors need to read a lot and take longer to acquire new knowledge, and nurses rely more on their experience to provide the best treatment. This does not mean that nurses do not learn and improve in terms of education. In fact, nurses are also able to pursue a bachelor's degree, a master's degree and a doctorate. Therefore, the more education a nurse receives, the greater the chance of getting a higher income level. The doctor usually has authority over the patient's condition and treatment and then asks the nurse to perform certain procedures. However, when priorities conflict, the doctor may need to succumb to the head nurse or authority of the competent unit, who has administrative control over a particular ward, floor or unit. Experienced nurses will give young doctors some advice because the nurse's knowledge is based on past practical experience, not theory. However, in general, the two respect each other's responsibilities. Medical school graduates need two to three years of internship after graduation.

THE PROSPECT OF NURSING:

Nursing has long been a hot job, but aging baby boomers, health care reform and medical advances have kicked demand for these professionals into even higher gear. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) expects employment for registered nurses, licensed practical and vocational nurses and advanced practice nurses, including nurse practitioners and clinical nursing specialists, to significantly outpace the national average in the decade preceding 2022. These groups also include a number of more specialized nurses.

According to industry experts, the nursing profession has always been one of the high-paying and well-paid professions in the world. At the same time, nursing talents are one of the talents in the international arena. For example, nurses in the United States have an average annual salary of 50,000 US dollars, while the United States lacks 300,000 nurses. In Australia, nurses are the easiest to find a job or get promoted. At the same time, as long as they have the qualifications of a registered nurse in Australia, they are equivalent to getting a "green card" to work in the Commonwealth. Western developed countries such as Britain, France and Germany have many preferential policies for nurses. Therefore, nurses with deep professional knowledge, high comprehensive quality and smooth international communication language are employed internationally and have broad development prospects.
