The work of a nurse
As a nurse, the work is interesting and instructive. If you like medicine at all, of course. Much depends on the specialization received. If there is none, when applying for a job, a specialization is usually offered.
Often the nurse is trained on the job and the job does not suffer. Basic knowledge is obtained through internship and experience. And the theory will be taught in a specialized nursing course. What are the specializations, and where does the job await after qualification?
If you have completed the specialization of a nurse in treatment and vaccination rooms, work in the treatment room of any department of a polyclinic or hospital is for you. The doors to vaccination rooms for adults and children's polyclinics, maternity hospitals, schools and kindergartens are open to you.
An operating room nurse is a super interesting job in the operating unit, a prestigious and in-demand specialization.
A physiotherapy nurse is a job in physiotherapy departments and offices on modern devices - responsible, but exciting and enjoyable!
Children's nurse - work in children's departments, departments of newborns is waiting for you! Perfect for those who love working with kids! All doctors know that children are not “little adults”. These are kids. With their anatomical, physiological and psychological characteristics.
Surgical nurse - work in surgical departments. Pretty broad specialization. Allows you to find a job in any surgical department that you like. If you wish, you can acquire a narrower specialization - a nurse in otolaryngology, ophthalmology, nephrology, gynecology, urology, thoracic, abdominal surgery, etc.
Therapeutic nurse - work in the departments of therapy. As well as surgical, therapeutic specialization is quite wide. Allows you to "narrow" the focus of knowledge in the field of pulmonology, cardiology, gastroenterology, etc.
A psychiatric, narcological nurse is not a job for the faint of heart, although you get used to it. Contrary to popular belief about the "terrible" departments of narcology and psychiatry, there is almost no staff turnover here.
A nurse helping a doctor in diagnostics - work in laboratories, functional rooms, ultrasound, MRI and all other methods.
But this is like a review, lyrics, one might say. The nomenclature of the specialties of a nurse is as follows:
- "Sisterhood"
- "Organization of Nursing"
- "Nursing in Surgery"
- "Nursing in Therapy"
- "Nursing in Psychiatry"
- "Nursing in Addiction"
- "Nursing in Pediatrics"
and so on: nursing in various branches of medicine.
The nurse did not work in her specialty for 10 years, and now she decided to return to the profession, what is needed for this and is it possible?
At the place of employment, you will have to undergo re-certification in the specialty. At your own expense.
Hello, please help me with the question of a solution. I haven’t worked in my profession for about 10 years, I worked after graduating from a medical school for 1.5 years and that’s it. Now I want to get a job, they tell me that I need a certificate, what should I do and is it possible after so many years
Hello Liana.
You need to deal directly with the employer.
Let them specifically answer whether it is possible for you to get a job and work, while studying to obtain knowledge and a certificate.
🙂 Or let them tell you which nearest educational institution you can study in order to get a job as a nurse after receiving the certificate.
Can a Nurse with a Pediatric Nursing Certification work with adult patients? Is there any order of the Ministry of Health or something like that that answers this question?
Maybe until the next class. It is without the certificate "Nursing in Pediatrics" in "childhood" that a nurse does not have the right to work.
Hello. Tell me where can I see the standards of nursing technologies (manipulations) for an operative nurse in an outpatient surgery center in a polyclinic? Thank you.
Hello Olga.
The main sister should have standards. You can look in the "Consultant", on the website of the Association of Nurses of Russia, in search engines.
Hello. I work as a nurse in the Basketball Sports School. I wanted to specialize in “Primary Health Care for Children”, my supervisor asked the question: “Is it necessary or not? If so, by what resolution or order, and where can it be find?” Thank you.
Hello Tatiana.
I can say one thing - your manager should know better what specialization you need and according to what regulatory documents.
