TERRANISHA BANKS WEST JEFFERSON HIGH SCHOOL MS. BURTON I-SEARCH RESEACH PAPER ON HOW TO BECOME A REGISTERED NURSE

Have you ever just knew what you wanted to do with your life and how you wanted to do? Well I have and I know what I want to do with my future life as of my career. What I know about myself is that sense I was a child I always wanted to be a nurse. I love to help people so that’s my dream and that’s what I wanna do. I know that I am a very persistent young lady that cares a lot about my education. I know my emotions and my faith in school. But most of all I know exactly what I want in life. I am very responsible young lady who can take care of business with style and grace. When I take the responsibility of becoming an adult and fully departing from my adolescent’s stage I wanted to attend “Louisiana State University”. I know that LSU is one of the schools I have chosen since I was 12 years old. I think it is everybody parent’s dream for there child to go to college and for them to complete there dream. I hope to find out that LSU doesn’t accept people based on their ethnic group or their background. As long as I’ve done what I needed to do as of my work and made the grades, so I should get accepted into the school of my dream. I think this school would help me out and in life with any nursing career I want. Then I can’t wait until the day I graduate and to know that what I have tried so hard it has all paid off. Then to being to LSU for 4 years and completing then to be leaving with an master’s degrees. As, I think this would be the best thing in my life that have my career. As I was looking for my information and was easy in the beginning. But as I got deeper into the information search it had gotten harder and harder. I had found many websites and I found loads of information that is very useful to my search. When I was looking for my information on the internet and searching in “Google” helped me out with all of my answers to my questions I had needed. However when I had went on this one website it had nothing I was looking for, so I went on to another site. Many of the websites had very little information I was looking for and started to get bored with the whole research paper. As I was searching on this website I was looking for this topic and I can’t find information. That’s when I felt like I was doing something wrong because I can’t find what I’m looking for on these websites. Since I was having a hard time with my work so I tried Handbook Occupational website. On that site I was feeling a little confused so then I turned to another resource and that was looking inside of a book. That was what I did and I found more useful information that can answer my question. I had checked the index and I had found what I was looking and what I needed to know. But, reading this book gave me good information and now all I have to do is add all of this in. However, I feel this wasn’t enough information so I got back onto the internet and I started looking again for more. I didn’t know that all of this couldn’t be found then for me to find it on the second try was amazing. I didn’t find every thing I was looking but I’m sure to find it next time I guess. But, think if I try another website I can get more on being a nurse. Now, that I’m close on finish finding my information for the research everything should be a breeze to finish and to put it where it goes. The results of an Registered Nurse the duties and responsibilities: Nursing and psychiatric aides help care for physically or mentally ill, injured, disabled, or infirm individuals in hospitals, nursing care facilities, and mental health settings. Home health aides have duties that are similar, but they work in patients’ homes or residential care facilities. Nursing aides and home health aides are among the occupations commonly referred to as direct care workers, due to their role in working with patients who need long-term care. The specific care they give depends on their specialty. Nursing aides also known as nurse aides, nursing assistants, certified nursing assistants, geriatric aides, unlicensed assistive personnel, orderlies, or hospital attendants provide hands-on care and perform routine tasks under the supervision of nursing and medical staff. Specific tasks vary, with aides handling many aspects of a patient’s care. They often help patients to eat, dress, and bathe. They also answer calls for help, deliver messages, serve meals, make beds, and tidy up rooms. Aides sometimes are responsible for taking a patient’s temperature, pulse rate, respiration rate, or blood pressure. They also may help provide care to patients by helping them get into and out of bed and walk, escorting them to operating and examining rooms, or providing skin care. Some aides help other medical staff by setting up equipment, storing and moving supplies, and assisting with some procedures. The outlook for these career excellent job opportunities for nursing, psychiatric, and home health aides will arise from a combination of rapid employment growth and the need to replace the many workers who leave the occupation each year. Employment of nursing aides is expected to grow faster than the average for all occupations through 2016, in response to the long-term care needs of an increasing elderly population. Financial pressures on hospitals to discharge patients as soon as possible should boost admissions to nursing care facilities. As a result, job openings will be more numerous in nursing and residential care facilities than in hospitals. Modern medical technology also will drive demand for nursing aides because as the technology saves and extends more lives, it increases the need for long-term care provided by aides. The benefits and earnings for a nurse between $9.09 and $12.80 an hour. employment, 2016 ** |||| ** Change, 2006-16 ** |||| ** Detailed statistics ** ||  ||
