We will start this as a new sticky thread to give you ideas of what can be done and started in your country, and you can get credit for the experience. But it is going to involve work on your end to do it. This is not going to be used as a thread to make complaints about your government, but it is to be used as a source of what you can do to make things better for you as well as the patient population there.
All of these things were started in other countries as there was a need for it and there is absolutely no reason that one of you could not create your own job. And actually do something in nursing to help someone.
1. Patient education with setting up training centers for new mothers, or teaching patients about their medications, providing education for any area of nursing.
2. Outreach programs, such as what was done or should have been completed when you were in your nursing program. These all started from nothing and with minimal expense.
3. Parish nursing,. All churches should have something in place; even for just blood pressure checks, etc.
4. Hospice nursing. This started by individuals and now is a thriving area of nursing.
5. Outpatient clinics on islands where there is little to no medical care.
Please feel free to add to the list here......................
And use this thread only for listing things that can be done.
