I have to answer the following question for a paper I have due soon in my Nursing 200 class:

What is the role of a nurse in today's world?

I have to have a nurse answer it for me and I have to write the paper based on their response and my opinions. PLEASE answer for me, it can be just a few sentences.

THANKS!:D

The role/s of nurses in todays world are many. We are patient advocates, we are educators, we are a shoulder to cry on, we are the bearer of loads for patients. There are really so many aspects of nursing that exist, it is difficult to narrow it down. I suppose the most important part is being a patient advocate.

Specializes in just about everything.

We are also the main line of communication from the pt to the doctor. They depend on us to catch things before they go bad. Such a drastic blood result, or changes in their condition. Without us they might lose more pts. In early years our medical knowledge was ignored, but not today. They depend on our assessments and knowledge greatly.

Yea for nurses:nurse:
