This month during research check 5, I've discovered something interesting about nursing. This video talks about how healthcare sectors believe that nursing is in a crisis. Nurses are pushed to a limit with long hours and low salary packages. There is people that are still interested in the profession but early in the current government, they closed all the nursing colleges for a long time. Then they started opening it up but that has a lag effect because the nurses that are going into those colleges now takes four years to get through them. That's why some students that want to enter the profession, jungle getting the education from college about nursing and getting hands on training in nursing.

Blog 5: Mentorship and Research Reflection

Mentorship question: Describe your experience in how you found your mentorship?

• Finding a mentor was kind of hard for me to find. During the summer I didn't have a mentor at first, but a couple of weeks ago I found two mentors that will help me and answer my questions for my senior project. 

Research question: What has been your most important article you have read so far and why?

•  The most important article the I have read so far is a book called, "Change Your Career: Nursing As Your New Profession" by Barbara Arnoldussen. This book helped me discover the nursing profession more interesting. While reading the book, it helped me answer my EQ and also gave me more information about the profession that I didn't know.When I read the book, I found out that the nursing profession is branched to 36 different types of nurses. I didn't know that there is a pacifically for head and neck injures, helping a newly mother how to breastfeed, and that care and support patients that are diagnosed with cancer. Also, I discovered that there is a nurse that works at camps, government and private agencies, a flight nurse that helps transfer patients by helicopter or ambulance, and nurses that work in the Navy, Army, and Air Force to provide medical care for the soldiers.
