Nurses Voted America's Most Trusted Profession
For the seventh consecutive year, nurses were voted the most trusted profession in Gallup's annual survey of professions for their honesty and ethical standards. Eighty-four percent of Americans believe nurses' honesty and ethical standards are either "high" or "very high."
But do you REALLY know what nurses do every day...besides the stereotypes portrayed?
Nurses are patient advocates, working across the health-care continuum, from the front-line battlefields of the emergency rooms, intensive care units, and operating rooms, to the classrooms in the universities, medical offices, clinics, and research facilities. Nurses are direct patient care-givers, the eyes and ears of health-care, the hand that heals the wounds, and the wounded souls of the patients. Nurses assist in surgeries, deliver babies, resuscitate and stabilize critically ill patients, teach patients, families, and the next generation of nurses.
Nurses continuously assess and monitor their hospitalized patients 24 hours of the day. Educated in the realms of science, technology, pharmacology, psychology and pathophysiology, nurses step in and intervene when the slightest change in a patient's condition may signal a major problem brewing.
