A NURSE IS NOT ‘JUST A NURSE’

Just a nurse? There’s no such a thing. A nurse is so much more that ‘just a nurse’. To
refer them as ‘just nurses’ is not just an insult, it is an outrage! It is overlooking all they do. For
nurses, a crucial part of the job is educating patients and their families on their diagnosis. It
means that a nurse is an educator every day. They teach patients about the signs and symptoms
of disease process, medications and how to advocate for themselves, especially how to access
care.
The second one, nurse is a bridge builder. Nurses have the difficult responsibility of
holding an organization’s vision and financial imperative while advocating for a patient’s best
interest.Business and healthcare don’t always go hand-in-hand, so it can be challenging for
nurses to build that bridge between the two.
Nurses have the privilege of building relationships with patients that physicians and other
healthcare workers rarely get to experience. In this case a nurse is also most like a counselor in
terms of the need to listen because listening and asking the right questions can help the patient or
family member decide on the best path to healing.A familiarity between the nurse, patient and
family can be an added source of comfort and peace for the patient and even for the family, who
might feel stressed, guilty or anxious about the health of their loved one.
Nurses are definitely patient advocates and are often the strongest one for the patient
because their relationship and time with the patient is often different than it is with a doctor. All
of the time nurses spend with their patients allows them to get a good grasp on their conditions.
It’s not uncommon for them to step in on their patient's behalf when recommending care plans to
physicians or doctors.
Nurse is a confidant because they must carry the burden of upholding the privacy of their
patients. Nurses must abide to strict privacy laws, maintaining the confidentiality and dignity of
the patient. Then nurse is also an interpreter for his/her patients. Decipher a patient’s symptoms
and transcribe them in the medical records.Translate technical doctorspeak into understandable
layman’s terms for the patient.It is important to interprete medical jargon such as anemia (means
a condition where there is insufficient red blood cells in the body), intricate instructions and
complex symptoms into everyday language.
The last nurse is a friend for the patients. Patients enter the hospital to be cared for by a
nurse. Sometimes patients don't just need physical and health care, they need emotional care and
support, so your friendship and counsel might be all they have, and it might be exactly what they
need
It is clear that a nurse is not just a nurse. They are an advocate for your wellbeing. They
are a counselor when you need someone to listen. They are educators when you need to learn.
They are a friend when you just need someone in your corner.There is no denying it, nurses truly
are the heart of healthcare.
