Why I Chose Nursing?

agutierrez89 — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 17:49:02 +0000

Summary of topic:The topic I chose is nursing. Nursing has been a topic that I have always had in mind, it is something that always gets my attention because it is one of the professions that I want to pursue into. I think that nurses play a major role in our lives because just like doctors they can save our life. They are very skilled and they help you when you are sick. I like this profession because when you go to the doctor they are the ones that make you feel good even when you don’t; they always seem to have a better attitude than the doctors. I like to help people when they are in need, just like a nurse. Also, I like working with kid and I think that nurses have a very close relationship with the children. Nursing relates to Creativity and Social Change because just like many other professions, nurses’ care about what is going on and they try to make a good change. Like I said before, they like to help out those that are in need and provide good for their community.

· The shift in health care focus towards an emphasis on population health gains via health promotion is now well established. One of the strategies that have been promoted as a means of better addressing the shortcomings in delivering health care that attends more specifically to preventative and promotion activities has been the description and piloting of a new nursing role, the family health nurse.

· Mental health policy development in the UK has become increasingly dominated by the assumed need to prevent violence and alleviate public concerns about the dangers of the mentally ill living in the community. Risk management has become the expected focus of contemporary mental health services, and responsibility has increasingly been devolved to individual service professionals when systems fail to prevent violence. This paper analyses the development of mental health legislation and its impact on services users and mental health professionals at the micro level of service delivery.
