Doctors vs. nurses.


At one point in my life, I wanted to be a doctor. Nursing simply seemed like a good option to go into before applying to medical school. There was a change of heart at some point though. I guess I just realized I don’t really need to go into actual medicine. Nurses do so much more than doctors do in some cases. Maybe we can’t diagnose a patient, but we have the skills to do it. Maybe we can’t perform a surgery, but we’re trained in CPR HCP. We also make a tighter bond with patients. So I really think that people should stop thinking of a nurse as a side-kick to the doctor. We’re professional health care providers with an intimate structure of work. And like doctors, we can take our job anywhere! So to my fellow nursing students, remember that you’re working with the physician, not just for them.
