Who are Nurses ?
Nurses are the backbone of the healthcare industry. They provide essential services that improve the health and well-being of millions of people around the world. In this blog post, we will explore some of the ways that nurses contribute to the healthcare industry and why they deserve our respect and appreciation.
Nurses provide continuous and direct caring service
In hospital settings, nurses are the only professional workers who provide a continuous and direct care to patients. They are often the first and sometimes the only health professionals that people see when they seek health help. They monitor vital signs, administer medications, perform procedures, educate patients and families, coordinate care with other members of the health team, and advocate for patients’ rights and preferences.
Nurses also provide care in emergency settings, such as natural disasters, conflicts, epidemics, and pandemics. They are key to the achievement of universal health coverage, as they can deliver primary and community care to poor communities . They play a critical role in health promotion and disease prevention
Nurses improve health care access and quality
Nurses are essential for improving health care access and quality, especially for vulnerable groups and marginalized communities. They can help reduce health disparities and achieve health equity by addressing the social determinants of health and providing culturally competent.
Nurses also contribute to improving health care quality by ensuring safety, effectiveness, efficiency, timeliness, and patient satisfaction. They participate in quality improvement initiatives, such as developing clinical guidelines, implementing evidence-based practices, conducting audits and evaluations.
Nurses also use their knowledge and skills to innovate and transform health care delivery. They can design and implement new models of care, such as telehealth, mobile clinics, nurse-led clinics, and home-based care. They can also use technology and data to enhance their practice, such as electronic health records, and decision support systems.
Nurses strengthen nursing and midwifery leadership
