¶ … Nurse
There is nothing that compares to serving in any of the helping professions. In the past, I have come across some articles in the press highlighting some of the most desirable professions and jobs, and in some cases, some of the worst. In a Forbes article titled, the Best Jobs for 2014, what is particularly striking is that "all the positions, aside from tenured professor, are math- or health care-related" (Adams, 2014). What this, therefore, means is that I work in a profession regarded one of the best professions in the entire world -- I am proudly a nurse.
In essence, my responsibilities as a nurse have got to do with not only the optimization, but also the promotion as well as protection of the health of the masses, or those put under our care.

In order to do my job effectively, I will need to learn all I can; continuing education in
With step four, five and six of this eleven-step process, I continued my search and exploration to gather relevant information, began to eliminate choices that required too much education, were not practical for my current situation, or did not spark some form of personal interest and desire. By the sixth stage, evaluating the evidence, I had narrowed down my choice to a few alternatives and began to rate them
Life Types of math used in a nursing career Math used in a nursing career and in everyday life Nurses use math on a daily basis: on a very basic level, simple arithmetic is required to keep track of supplies, patients, hours worked, and other logistical issues. Math is used to add up a patient's caloric needs, to compare the patient's lab readings such as cholesterol to that of the general population,
Patient Care and the Nursing Profession From January of 2012 until the present day, I have worked as an LPN. During that time, I have been in pediatric homecare, where I monitored and cared for children on ventilators and with tracheotomies. My experience also includes hospice care for people of all ages, from children to the elderly. Doing this type of work has greatly influenced my career and the decision to
Advanced Practice Roles in Nursing The starting point of all current-day nursing practices is a registered nurse. The current standards and policies with respect to education and legal regulations for attaining a basic first-level nursing standard weren't always fixed.
