There are many reasons why I choose to go into the field of nursing. Ever since I was a little girl my dream was to be a nurse. When I would watch shows/ movies about nursing or have nurses in them; I became fascinated with it.
I find that nurses have a very special touch that many individuals do not have. The kind of touch that calms someone down when he/she received bad news, or the caring words for an individual who is going on to their next life. Every individual who is a nurse has quality that he/she shines in. Since only being in nursing for two years, I haven't found mine yet, however I know I do have one; just got to find it.
Now attending university to further my nursing career, I know that I will be able to enhance my special skills in the individuals that I care for.
LOVE A NURSE, BE A NURSE!

PowerPoint Presentation
Nursing Shortage in Ontario
I have choosen this video because I feel it is very true about abou the nursing field. Many of the more experienced nurses (baby boomers) will be retireing in the up coming years and as they become less and less; there won't be enough younger nurses to take there places.
Some of the reasons why nurses are retireing early is due to stress of being overworked. Majority of the time, nurses are forced to work short on the floor, which causes increased stress and also an increase for mistakes to happen. Medication errors are one of the highest numbers of mistakes that occur to nurses due to being short staffed. The nurses are just simply too tired and don't take that time to realize what they are doing when pouring medications.
Other problems related to nursing shortage is that injuries occur more frequently. By being short staffed, nurses are not getting the help they need when ambulating patients. Back injuries is one of the top injuries related to nursing. There comes a time when there is lots of "slugging" on the job and in time causes wear and tear on your back (and other parts too).
By adding this video to my blog, I do hope that individuals especially ones who are in the non nursing field will understand how much nurses are needed and fight for the right to have more nurses availble to help their loved ones.
