Nurse-Dependent Functions

The history and growth of nursing is similar to that of a woman's role in society. The word nursing comes from Latin nutrire, "To nourish", or nutrix, "Nursing mother." This refers to nurses who took care of other people's babies by breastfeeding them. There are hundreds of categories of nurses performing different tasks in the medical field. The nursing profession continues to grow and evolve, owing to the growing human need for quality health care.
  1. Mobile Hospitals

    • Mobile hospital is the umbrella name for flying doctors, ambulance personnel or any other moving health care center. Nurses take care of patients in need of medical care while on transit and are unable to access a doctor's services. Some of the medical services patients get from nurses while on transit include evaluation and intravenous procedures.

    Nephrology Care

    • Nephrology nurses survey and manage organ transplant procedures, such as kidney transplants. Nephrology nurses work with researchers under the Social Security program, which offers treatment to end stage kidney disease or ESRD by offering peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis. The nurses also medical consultancy services to terminally ill patients and train health educators who teach the public health matters.

    Labor and Delivery

    • Child delivery is predominantly a hospital-based health care service that involves nurses. Labor nurses also teach first-time mothers how to take care of the baby and themselves in post-natal sessions. Labor and delivery nurses help doctors by getting them the necessary tools during childbirth operations, such as the caesarean operations.

    Cardiothoracic Care

    • Cardiothoracic nurses deal with coronary care. Their work entails monitoring of patients' medical progress, defibrillation and instant administering of life-saving treatment or unexpected anomalies that may occur. Cardiothoracic Care requires rigorous training in life saving, counseling and fitness skills. The nurses assist doctors during cardiothoracic theater operations.
