Talk:Nursing

message: Should the lede be edited to be clearer on what nurses do? Right now, the first 2 sentences are: "Nursing is a profession within the health care sector focused on the care of individuals, families, and communities so they may attain, maintain, or recover optimal health and quality of life. Nurses may be differentiated from other health care providers by their approach to patient care, training, and scope of practice." This is correct, but gives very little information to the lay reader who may not already understand what different roles of health care professionals. (I could just as easily put "physiotherapist," "physician," "pharmacist," etc. in the lede and it would be just as true.) Maybe a bit on the core of nursing being medication administration and assistance with activities of daily living (or something else)? Thoughts?

message: I have removed the statement "However the BSN graduate has both more classroom and clinical hours of study in nursing than the ADN graduate.", because it is subject to conjecture. While BSN program have more classroom hours devoted to research and certain nursing theories the clinical hours are dependent upon the educational institutions program of study. Most BSN programs have the same or less amount of clinical hours required for graduation. I also removed the statement "BSN graduates are called Professional Nurses.", because it is misleading. Regardless of the degree any nurse that has passed registered nursing licensure by state or NCLEX-RN examination can be called a "Professional Nurse". — Preceding unsigned comment added by RNMyk66 (talk • contribs) 11:44, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

message: An image was recently added to the entry's gallery (File:US Navy 091129-N-8960W-064 Hospital Corpsman Michael Parke gives a vaccine to Lt. Carlos Lopez aboard the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN 68).jpg) which depicts a US Navy hospital corpsman giving an injection. The corpsman is identified as such in the file description, but he was described as a nurse in the caption added to this entry. The article has a number of images, so many that we don't need to include non-nursing images such as care provided by other providers. The care in the image in question does look like nursing care (except for the really awkward injection technique), but it's not nursing. I'm discussing here in the spirit of WP:BRD.

replies: text: The law at the time said men could not  be official RN Army or Navy nurses. however the corpsmen were actually trained and performed the duties of a practical nurse esp on battlefields and in military hospitals. Rjensen (talk) 06:36, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Source material 

message: As part of upgrading this article, I'm going to start gradually reviewing all sources cited. My plan is to remove sources I consider to be weak or unreliable. If I do remove anything, I'll place it here for further comment. I note that this article is also a part of the medical Wikiproject, which has a guideline for sourcing. Obviously it won't always be possible to use review articles for everything in Nursing, but we should strive for quality I believe.
I also plan to convert citations to use templates wherever possible, update access dates, and aim for consistency overall. As always, please feel free to comment, contribute, or suggest! Cheers, Basie (talk) 21:59, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. I don't seem to have a lot of time for editing but I will try to help with this. I notice that citation 51 is to a broken link. I'm not sure whether it should just be removed (still new to editing) while looking for other sources. --LynnMcCleary (talk) 16:38, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

message: I am a little concerned that this article says very little on the work of a district nurse. In fact, when I looked at List of nursing specialties (sic), district nursing was not on the list. I shall be appreciative if this could be rectified. If changes were to be made, there could be mention that the term district nurse might be replaced by community nurse.Vorbee (talk) 15:28, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

message: Hey y'all,
I am wondering how we go about rearranging the worldwide subsection so it can be alphabetical? 
Also, I am thinking of adding Colombia due to a research project I am doing but I think we could benefit from adding a general Latin America sub-heading and then add Colombia. Any comments or feedback would be appreciated!
