In order to find out what happened to her sister Elsie, Deborah and Rebecca went to visit Crownsville where Elsie was staying before she died. Crownsville was a psychiatric hospital for African-Americans. Deborah wanted to see her sister’s medical record and investigate how she was being treated there. When she was there, she found out that they included Elsie in a study entitled, “Pneumoencephalographic and skull X-ray studies in 100 Epileptics”. This involved draining fluid from the skull to obtain clearer images of the brain.
She encouraged medical education for women and aided other women to aspire other careers. According to the article, Changing the Face of Medicine, By establishing the New York Infirmary in 1857, Elizabeth Blackwell offered a practical solution to one of the problems facing women who were rejected from internships elsewhere but determined to expand their skills as physicians. She also published several important books on the issue of women in medicine, including Medicine as a Profession for Women in 1860 and Address on the Medical Education of Women in 1864. Blackwell had no idea how to become a physician, so she consulted with several physicians known by her family. They told her it was a fine idea, but impossible; it was too expensive, and such education was not available to women.
Mrs. Trosack, on the other hand, blames herself and believes if she would have worked less than perhaps her fetus would not have been afflicted by TSD. Both Mr. and Mrs. Trosack work in the field of finance. To assist Mr. and Mrs. Trosack in understanding TSD and how the disease will affect them and their unborn child, an interdisciplinary team of 5 members will be assembled to provide information for the Trosacks. The following 5 members were chosen: a pediatric neurologist, Dr. Zimmerman, who is Mrs. Trosack's obstetrician, a genetic counselor, a pediatric nurse with experience in caring for children with genetic disorders, and a catholic priest. A pediatric neurologist was chosen because according to National, 2011, TSD is a fatal genetic disorder, which results in a complete
Bias, Rhetorical Devices, and Argumentation Tameka Gilliam Research Writing ENG/102 01/26/2014 Najwa Khazal The speech that I chose to discuss is “The Morality of Birth Control” by Margaret Sanger (1921). In order for Margaret Sanger to get the audience’s attention, she uses different methods of bias, fallacies and specific rhetorical devices. She stressed how important her views are of the subject and what actions needed to be taken. She also wanted people to know that the information she was giving was available to everyone, men and women. In order for Margaret Sanger to get her point across, she uses her personal nursing experiences and emotions.
So the question became do I keep my passion, and will it always pay the bills? Alternatively, do I change career paths and pursue a new career that I know will pay the bills and will always provide for my family? My Journey I knew that I would be a good nurse. I was loving, kind, thoughtful, a good communicator, liked helping people, I was caring, and I also liked math and science. The Journal of Nursing Education states, “researchers found the concepts of caring and nurturance were identified as high motivators for choosing nursing” (Williams, Wertenberger, Hames, Gushuliak, 1997).
Nursing is a holistic, broad-based career that focuses on caring and promoting good health. I believe that nursing is scholarly practice which involves various aspects in order for individuals to reach their highest health status. In addition, nursing does not only stop at treating a single client but as I stated earlier it is a broad-based career, there for it reaches various aspects, such as family and communities. It is important to reach all the aspects of nursing to ensure the best practice that every individual deserves. Literature Review One of the aspects of nursing is the community and an individual’s family.
It would be easy for nurses to just throw up our hands and say “oh well” but we must see it more as a challenge to be creative and think out of the box for the future of our patients. To meet these challenges, the discipline of nursing should give increasing attention to certain theories, concepts, and models such as primary health care (as opposed to “illness care”), health promotion, health protection, motivation, patient safety, and quality of life (McEwen and Wills, 2011, p. 461). As we plunge forward into the abyss, one must remember Christian nursing will forever be a ministry of compassionate health care to anyone in need, for example, offering that glass water or juice or holding a hand (Shelly & Miller, 2006, p.282). In McEwen & Ellis (2011), they discuss how nursing should incorporate a variety of theories and other avenues into a comprehensive approach to caring for our patients. In order to accomplish this, the profession must seek to develop more middle range theories, situation-based theories, and improve our evidence based practice procedures.
In this present day many nurses have indeed contributed to modern medicine like Margaret Sanger. Margaret Sanger devoted her life to legalizing birth control and making it available to woman in the 1800s although she faced many challenges she did not give up until it was legalised and women had access to birth control. This has made life much easier for women nowadays to plan they futures before having children and preventing children been born with diseasesand unwanted pregnancies can be avoided instead of having abortions. People may not agree with the way Margaret went about it and may say she was racist but all races today use birth control pills. Margaret Sanger was born in 1879 in Corning, New York.
You can also select staff on a basis of caring orientation asking candidates to describe a caring moment that they have experienced. The development and caring competencies serve as a guide to assess and permit staff development and assuring care has had a breakthrough with caring science. Preserving and sustaining human dignity, wholeness, integrity of mind body and spirit will provide a healing environment that will enable self-care, self-knowledge, and self-control, self-healing and potential. She's a global teacher that displays nursing goals assuring the practice of human caring in return for the ethical core values based practices (McGraw, 2002). These practices will extend caring science and knowledge along with development and clinical care persons and caring practice to new professional practice models of authentic caring healing excellence.
In doing so, nurses must be care-givers and educators - providing the necessary information, skills and knowledge, to their patients to allow for self-nurturance, well-being, and growth. I started my journey in the field of nursing two years ago. My personal values, combined with the strong desire to help others influenced me to enroll in the Licensed Practical Nurse program. This career path has provided such great opportunities to help others, and has allowed for my own personal growth. I am continuously looking for new and great ideas to better the field of nursing and the ultimate goal of helping those in need.
