WOW...this is one of those topics where you've always thought & known that nurses have different knowledge...until you're asked to put it in writing...then suddenly, it's a little more thought provoking...but, I'll give it a go. These are the things that I think nursing has a better grasp of than physicians:

* psychosocial assessment & communication

* "whole-istic" approach to patient care & assessment (vs. systems)

* patient care in general for 12 hours (hygiene, med admin, etc.) (vs. 5 minute rounds)

* time management

* equipment operation

* TLC

* patient assessment - ie: nursing basically assesses & re-assesses for 8-12 hours a day, everything we do...how did the patient tolerate? Phys do a 3-5 minute "picture- in-time" assessment.

That's it for the moment...for just having gotten to work. However, a VERY thought provoking post. I will be watching this one for other additions.

bumping for some more experienced nursing thoughts! (really interesting topic!)

How to take a family on a cheap holiday.

Joke OK :)

Usually when this sort of assignment is set they want you to compare and contrast nursing theory to medical theory in particular look at the medical model and look then at at least two nursing models.
