Trauma Nurse - 5/29/2018

Trauma Nurse

Duties and Responsibilities: Emergency nurses provide general nursing care and manage less critically ill and injured patients. They triage patients, so that those with the most urgent problems are seen first. They assess and care for patients with possible fractures, cuts, cardiac symptoms, dizziness, abdominal pain, and many other concerns. These patients may drive themselves into the ED or be brought in by a friend or family member, are usually conscious, and are often able to provide information about their condition. 

Salary: In May 2016 the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the range for RN salaries as $47,120 (the lowest 10%) to more than $102,990 (the highest 10%). The median annual wage for a nurse working in the hospital setting was $68,450 ($32.91/hour). 

Educational Requirements: Graduate from a 2 year nursing program, pass the NCLEX (a test for nurses), most nursing jobs require a minimum of a Bachelor's degree so after these things you may start working and get a certificate to be a trauma nurse.

Demand for this career: The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that nursing employment will grow at a rate of 16 percent through 2024 -- much faster than the average for all jobs. There is a shortage of all nurses, with baby boomer nurses nearing retirement, and the growing health demands of our aging population.

Reflection: I think being a nurse interesting, you learn a lot and play an important role in making sure patients are okay which is something i am interested in doing.

Student Success Statement - 4/12/2018

"I have been asked what I mean by 'word of honor.' I will tell you: Place me behind prison walls - walls of stone ever so high, ever so thick, reaching even far into the ground - there is a possibility that in some way or another I might be able to escape; but stand me on the floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me give my word of honor never to cross it. Can I get out of that circle? NO, never! I'd die first." - Karl G. Maeser I dont really u nderstand this quote because its comparing two things that are nothing alike. Also why would anyone ever give their word never to cross it? This statement doesn't make sense and doesnt even tell us what exactly his words of honor are. I think its good for him that maybe he understnads tis quote, but  dont. Also, I dont think he would keep his word of honor if he admits to trying to escape a prison that he was in their for a crime he had comitted. I dont think this quote nmakes much sense because in order to g

Student Success Statement - 5/8/2018

" If I've got correct goals, and if I keep pursuing them the best way I know how, everything else falls into line. If I do the right thing, I'm going to succeed." - Dan Dierdorf I think this quote means that if you know what you want in life and are determined, you will succeed and continue to strive for greatness. I agree with this quote because when you are focused on doing something bad nothing good will ever come out of it. When you know what goals you want and are going to make a positive impact on your life, the steps you take to complete the goal will lead you to do the right thing. Everythign in ife has an outcome so might as well do something good so the outcome could also be good. Life is full of ups and downs so it is almsot impossible to do good ALL the time but it is important to learn from your mistakes.
