A Canada without nursing is a simple mathematical equation. You are presented with a problem, and this problem is solved when a satisfactory solution is provided. Your problem: a fifteen year old girl is diagnosed with depression, anxiety, and insomnia. Prozac is prescribed for the depression and anxiety. Ambien is prescribed for the insomnia. That is the solution. A certain computer system can analyze and match the medication to its corresponding symptoms. It can also tell you about the science behind how the medication works.
“Prozac is a serotonin uptake inhibitor,” therefore:
more serotonin in your system = happier fifteen year old girl.
“Ambien activates the neurotransmitter GABA, and the extra GABA activity inhibits neuron activity and slows the brain down,” therefore:
slower brain activity = sleepier fifteen year old girl.
The science behind each sequence can be laid out more quickly and with more detail than a nurse could produce. But it stops there. You get the y=x, the A to B. A is the problem and B is the solution. Simple, quick, and safe. But the fifteen year old girl is not simple, she is human. A nurse is educated and trained to understand this better than anyone …show more content…
The questions nurses are faced with every day cannot be satisfied with a fill-in-the-blank answer. In a world that is constantly evolving and progressing technologically and scientifically, nursing is an irreplaceable major not to just Canada, but the world. Nurses maintain a humanistic side to medicine in a time where humans grow more independent on technological and mechanical advances. Take away nursing and you take away a part of what makes humans human. A Canada without nursing is a Canada without community, and a community is essential in the ability for the stronger to help the weak, a sense of responsibility over the collective, and the belief that every person deserves a chance to be healthy and
