Modern Nurse on the spot

Modern nursing began in Europe in the early 19th century with the Protestant Deaconess Movement, which was based in motherhouses where the sick and infirm were cared for (Nursing). The first secular nursing school was established in 1836 in Kaiserwerth, Germany, and was visited in 1851 by Florence Nightingale, a woman from a well-to-do British family who decided to devote her life to nursing

Slowly but surely, the entire medical community is going “online”. Medical documents are now almost exclusively found in computerized form, stemming away from the paper form these documents took only a few years ago. This allows doctors and nurses to easily back up files and access them without the clutter of thousands of papers around the reception area. Patient’s histories are typically the highest amount of papers that go through clinics and hospitals, but nursing care plans additionally take up a lot of clutter when compared to the hundreds of other plans that exist at the same hospital. Rather than continue to use this unorganized method, nurses have increasingly begun to rely on the help of the internet and computers in general to get them through the day.

In most American hospitals today, you'd be hard-pressed to find even one nurse wearing a cap or a white uniform.

A cursory search on the Internet for nurse's caps for sale turned up several sites that also offered bobby pins suitable for securing the caps, which aren't shaped to stay on without some assistance.

Surprisingly, though Nursing is considered one of the more reliable fields to enter into in Today's working world, and although Nursing in general tends to be fairly lucrative profession for both men and women, there almost always seems to be a nursing shortage somewhere in America as well as on other continents.

With today's access to the Internet, it's easier than ever before to do some homework and find out what other nurses or former students of a university or college have to say about the nursing program there. Research before you enroll!
