The Healthcare Guys: Nursing

Nursing is a vital aspect of healthcare that involves the care and management of individuals, families, and communities across the lifespan. Nurses are responsible for assessing, planning, implementing, and evaluating patient care. They work in a variety of settings, including hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, schools, and communities, and provide care for patients with a wide range of health conditions.

There are several different types of nurses, each with their own specific areas of expertise. These include:

Registered nurses (RNs) are the largest group of healthcare providers and have a broad scope of practice. They are responsible for the overall care of patients, administering medication, and providing education to patients and families.

Licensed practical nurses (LPNs) have a more limited scope of practice and typically work under the supervision of RNs. They are responsible for basic care, such as administering medication and taking vital signs.

Advanced practice nurses (APNs) are RNs with advanced education and training in a specific area of practice, such as primary care, pediatrics, psychiatry, or geriatrics. They have the ability to diagnose and treat illnesses, prescribe medications, and manage patient care.

Nurse practitioners (NPs) are a type of APN and can provide primary care services, with some variation depending on the state laws.

Nurse Anesthetists (CRNA) are APNs that have completed specialized training in anesthesia and can provide anesthesia care to patients of all ages.

Nurse Midwives (CNMs) are APNs that have completed specialized training in women’s health care, including prenatal care, childbirth, and gynecological care.

Nursing plays a critical role in healthcare by providing essential care to patients, managing their symptoms, and promoting health and wellness. Nurses also play a vital role in the coordination of care, working closely with other healthcare providers to ensure that patients receive the best possible care.
