The human body is the most complex organism in the world. A vast majority of society never really thinks about it, but our body is a well-oiled machine made up of several systems with distinct functions but all working together. No man can recreate an exact, functional replica of a human; even with all our technology, we still don't fully understand it. Every day, anatomists and physiologists come closer together by making medical advances. Therefore, since the study of the human body is constantly evolving, the study of medicine is also evolving. These changes affect all positions held in the medical field, including nurses. If the duty of doctors is to be well informed of constant changes, it is just as important that healthcare staff also evolve. Most people do not realize the very valuable role a nurse plays in a patient's treatment process. In fact, some would say that nurses are more valuable than doctors. It is the nurse who provides direct care to patients by working with them to monitor, evaluate, and implement their best judgment regarding patient care. This is a very big responsibility for anyone, let alone someone who has not attended medical school. Of course, nurses generally operate within certain perimeters set by doctors' orders, but sometimes they must implement their own skills. A good nurse must be a good communicator, must be well trained and willing to grow with the industry, and above all must be able to implement up-to-the-minute critical thinking skills. Above all, to know everything about your patient, you must listen. with your patient. This includes listening to what the patient tells you verbally, as well as observing body language. I...... middle of paper ......lan for the worst. If you are someone who knows how to communicate, is eager to learn, and can think under the most difficult conditions, this may be the job for you. If you can't do any of these three things, they are key elements in providing adequate patient care. This profession may therefore not be for you. It is a great responsibility to know that the lives of others could potentially be placed in your hands. But if you're good at what you do and love what you do, the rewards far outweigh the risks. There's no better feeling than sending someone home to their family, and it's a blessing to be a part of it. It's much better to be overprepared than not at all. You must view and treat each patient as you would want your dearest loved one to be treated. It's a very challenging field, but also extremely rewarding if you know what you're doing..
