Nursing Traditionally,
nurses were the link between patients and their doctors, but the role is rapidly
expanding. You may not recognize the nurse without a white cap and starched white
uniform. The men and women in today's nursing profession are more likely to be
wearing colorful scrubs and a stethoscope around their necks... but they still
maintain the focus on patient care that has been the basis of professional care
since the earliest days of nursing.
Nurses
are the first members of the health care team that patients see in the doctor's
office or hospital. Triage, taking time to talk and find out what is going on
with the health and in the lives of their patients, is the first step in diagnosing
health problems. Doctors appear to make rounds and visit patients to manage their
care, but the momemt to moment caretaking is left in the capable hands of the
nursing staff. Today's
nurses are struggling to manage additional professional possibilities with the
Nightingale philosophy - and doing a wonderful job. These sites are places to
