National Qualification Nurse
A powerful ally who supports the hearts and minds of patients (kanja). It is a profession that requires not only accurate medical knowledge, but also a wealth of sensitivity and tough physical strength.
Being the closest to the patient
Nurses may be thought of as auxiliary professionals who assist doctors. However, it is nurses who work closest to patients in hospitals. In this sense, nurses are representative of medical professionals who "support patients" rather than supporting doctors.
Patients who come to hospitals vary in terms of the problems they have and their personalities. To treat all types of patients in a professional manner requires not only accurate medical knowledge, but also a wealth of sensitivity and tough physical strength.
The nurse's work begins with examinations, intravenous infusions, giving medications, and taking pulse and blood pressure readings. They transport patients, assist with bathing, change positions, and the list goes on and on. In between these tasks of helping patients, nurses keep records and hold discussions with other nurses.
Each of these tasks is connected to a human life, so even the slightest mistake is unforgivable. In addition to the high-stress nature of the job, nurses also have to work many night shifts, which is really hard work, and requires a lot of determination if you want to make it as a nurse.
Keep extending the action you have now!
To be a good nurse, it is also important to be considerate of others. We need to know if you are the type of person who willingly acts for the benefit of others. If you think you are that type of person, then develop that ability as much as you can. Any experience of helping others will give you confidence in the future. It is also important to interact with people of various personalities and learn about the breadth of the human world, as well as to read many books and learn about the wisdom of people from all ages and cultures.
Oh yes, and don't forget to keep your body fit. Not only because nursing is such heavy work, but also because good health is the basis of everything.
