Technology in Nursing

As baby boomers age, we are beginning to see more geriatric patients in our hospitals, and other health care facilities. In order to be prepared to care for these patients, we must try to eliminate most, if not all of the communication barriers that the patient’s and nurses are expressing.

Technology is rapidly becoming the easiest and best way to resolve most of communication barriers felt in health care facilities. For instance, the patient may have difficulty hearing, seeing, or speaking, for these issues, there are hearing aids, glasses, and electronic translators.

The possibilities are endless, the ways we can solve these simple problems are too numerous to mention. As the newest generation of nurses we can implement new strategies to make life better, for patients, nurses and their families!

Until Next Time,

Stepping Stones in Life

Finally!! Finally, I graduated high school. This past weekend was my high school commencement. I recieved the diploma that I worked so hard for. The diploma that will allow me to take my life in any direction that I choose.

It's a huge step from childhood to adulthood.

It feels so good to get rewarded for all of the work I put into school.

So far, the step to university has been a fairly positive experience. Of course, there have been bumps in the road, but I am learning from each of the bumps.

One of those bumps, is the nursing program itself. I have spent alot of time in the past few months wondering if nursing is right for me. It is a wonderful program, it offers so much, and is designed so well. However, as a student nurse I feel unsure about going into the clinical setting to become a patients nurse.

However if there is something I have learned from my commencement, its that the hardwork will always pay off in the end. I learned that if I work hard, then I can get through the things that scare me, are stressful or even enjoyable. In the end, hopefully I will come through university and make another step in my life, the same way I did when I graduated highschool!!

Until next time,

Jen
