It is no news that we are in the digital age and the world is now a global one, where Technology is the order of the day. Most professions have been fine tuned to adjust to the new normal, and nursing is not left.
Nursing is the act of caring for the sick. It encompasses autonomous and collaborative care of individuals of all ages, families, groups and communities, sick or well and in all settings. Nursing includes the promotion of health, prevention of illness, and the care of ill, disabled and dying people.
The Nursing Profession is very important to the health care sector and the world at large. Nurses are caregivers, advocate, life savers, teachers, in-fact the list is endless. Incorporating technology into nursing has helped to reduce the workload on nurses, make the job easier, improves efficiency and ensure a lot of people have access to this healthcare.
The just concluded nurse’s week was themed “A voice to Lead- invest in nursing and respect rights to secure global health” . Nurses are very important to the health sector because they are the first line of contact with the patients/clients and apart from being the first contact they are also the ones the patient spends the most time with. They work tirelessly to walk the sick through and out of their sick and weak state. This year’s nurse’s week theme emphasized on the fact that Nursing is a profession to be invested in, it should be respected and protected at all costs if we want to secure optimum health for everyone.
As upcoming nurses who have passion to help individuals obtain optimum health and complete wellbeing, we hope to deliver our very best and reach a wide range of persons with the help of technology.
Technology has no doubt breached the communication gap between nurses and other health care professionals, also nurses and patients.
Life is much better with the advent of Technology.
