Which course should i take to become a Dementia care nurse?

I would like to become a dementia care nurse, but i don't know if i should train to be an adult nurse then specialise or train to be a mental health nurse and go from there?
Mental health would be best but i feel i would enjoy the General nursing course more and then if later on i feel i would like to change from been a dementia care nurse i have a wider option?

I believe your ideas re general nursing are best.Would suggest you get your RN and then get extra training and experience re dementia patients.After you get your RN you can work(very important to those of us with limited resources!) and take extra classes towards your special interests.Of course your nursing school advisers would probably be in the best position to advise you.Good luck in your studies.None of us are getting any younger and unfortunately the number of dementia patients is growing at an extraordinary rate!

Therapeutic Communication in the Nursing Profession

Nursing is a caring profession. It is also a profession that is more and more evidenced based in practice. In as much as the scientific aspects of nursing is increasing due to the complex technological advancement of medicine and the machinery that is used at the patients bedside, the fact remains that the nurse is the first person that the client usually comes in contact with in any emergency or hospital setting.

Having said this, the term, "caring" is an essential emotion that all nurses, for that matter, all individuals in the health profession must possess. With caring comes the trained ability of the nurse to facilitate therapeutic communication. One might ask, what is therapeutic communication? To better answer this question, the term communication should first be defined.

Communication can be defined as "The Process of transmitting messages and interpreting meaning." (Wilson and others, 1995) With therapeutic communication, the sender, or nurse seeks to illicit a response from the receiver, the patient that is beneficial to the patients mental and physical health. Just as stress has been proven to adversely affect the health of individuals, the therapeutic approach to communication can actually help. In any given situation everyone uses communication.

Everyone has seen the individual that looks like they are either angry, stressed, feeling ill or maybe sad. These emotions are communicated to others not always by words, but by gestures and facial expressions. A nurse must always be aware of these expressions in clients, for these expressions may be the only way that the nurse can tell if there is something else going on that needs their attention. The term given to this type of non-verbal communication is called, meta-communication. In meta-communication, the client may look at their amputated stump and say that it doesn't really look that bad, while at the same time tears are rolling down from their eyes.

In a case such as this the nurse should stay and further explore how the person actually feels. There are many factors associated with the healing and comforting aspects of therapeutic communication. Circumstances, surroundings, and timing all play a role in the effect of therapeutic communication. If a client is being rushed down for an emergency surgery there might not be time for a bedside conversation, but the holding of a hand could convey much more than words to the client at such a moment.

Ideally, for therapeutic communication to be effective the nurse must be aware of how they appear to the client. If a nurse appears rushed, for example, they are speaking quickly, their countenance looks harried, and they are breathing heavily, their eyes not on the client but perhaps on an intravenous bag on the client in the next bed. In a case like this, there is nothing that this nurse could say to the client in a therapeutic manner that the client would believe. The helping relationship has not been established and therefore therapeutic communication cannot be facilitated. Some of the emotions associated with therapeutic communication include but are not limited to the following: Professionalism, Confidentiality, Courtesy, Trust, Availability, Empathy, and Sympathy. (Potter, Patricia A., Perry, Anne G., Co. 2003, Basic Nursing Essentials for Practice, pg. 123, Mosby)

All of these emotions go into the client nurse relationship, which must be established by the nurse as soon as possible upon first meeting the client. To begin to establish this nurse client relationship, the nurse must assess the overall message that the client is communicating to the nurse, such as fear, pain, sadness, anxiety or apathy. The nurse should be trained in keying into the message that the client is sending. Only then can the nurse determine the best therapeutic approach. Anyone that has to be thrust in to a hospital or emergency room environment has level of anxiety.

This level can go up considerably when the client feels that they have been abandoned or that there is no one there that really cares about how they feel. When a client is the recipient of therapeutic communication from a caring individual, a level of trust is achieved and more than, that the clients entire countenance can change for the better. Their blood pressure, respirations and levels of stress can simultaneously decrease. When this takes place, the management of pain, if any is involved, can be resolved more quickly. The goal for a nurse is to become proficient in the medical.

I WANT TO BECOME AN RN?

I AM CURRENTLY TAKING ALL THE PRE-COURSES TO GET ACCEPTED TO A NURSING PROGRAM THAT ALLOWS YOU TO RECEIVE YOUR ADN. CAN ANYONE THAT HAS ACTUALLY BEEN IN THE NURSING PROGRAM TELL ME ABOUT IT...AFTER YOU TAKE YOUR CORE CLASSES HOW MANY SEMESTERS DO YOU HAVE OF CLINICALS? DID YOU HAVE A JOB OR KIDS? I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE EXPERIENCE IS LIKE SO I CAN KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT

Even after completing the prereqs it will take 2 years to complete the actual nursing classes. I highly reccommend that you pursue your BSN instead for this reason. It will take the exact same amount of time and you end up with a higher degree.
I completed my BSN about 3yrs ago. I had 2 children at that time one in highschool and a two year old. I am married, so my husband carried the financial load and that was helpful. It will be very challenging if you plan to work and go to school. School was hard, but so worth it. I did not have the time to spend with my family like I wanted to, but It was all for the best because now I have a career I enjoy and can be proud of.
If you have any other questions just ask. I will be glad to tell you my opinion anything you are curious about.

Mental Health Nursing Personal Statement... help?

Please help I'm not really sure how to begin to write a personal statement for mental health nursing, and I need to do it quickly because I've already missed the deadline.

Also should I mention that my boyfriend is schizophrenic?

Have a chat with some of the mental health nurses in the student nurse forum. There's a specific section on personal statements as well as advice on interviews, bursaries etc. http://www.studentnurse.org.uk/

Career advice please... can't decide between two options... accounting or nursing/grad med?

I am currently in upper sixth. I am studying Biology (B), Psychology (A), Maths/Statistics (B) at A Level, predictions in brackets.

I would love to be a doctor, but I do not have Chemistry, which is an essential. However, I could do a 3yr Nursing degree, followed by a 4yr Graduate Medicine degree [it's possible, I've researched]. However, this would take 7 years and I'm not sure if I would be guaranteed a job in it. [I could do a natural sciences undergrad degree, but I don't want to...!]

My other option is to work for a Big 4 Accounting firm, which also appeals to me. I already have an offer from them (BBB) and would be on a starting salary of £15000. I would spend 2yrs studying for AAT (Association of Accounting Technicians) followed by 3yrs studying to become a ceritifed chartered accountant and tax advisor. This route does not require me to go to university.

What would you suggest? I'm interested to see what other people think about my situation. Thank you very much.

I think one pointer might be to decide if you are a "people " person or not. Nursing is a profession where you will be giving out a lot of yourself, will sometimes be dead tired and not always doing pleasant jobs. But the rewards are not in finance but in what you are giving to others. That feed back can be a real buzz.
However, do you get a buzz from maths? Can you see yourself fulfilled doing accounting all the time? Only you know what fulfills you.
I see your prediction for psychology is A. Might that give you a third avenue? Child guidance? Councelling?Other? I hope this helps a bit.

Briefly: March 12

nursing diagnosis reference
Is this a good introduction for a scholarly paper?

Here is what I have written thus far:

Technological advancements in health care have aided in the expedience of diagnosis and treatment of illness, however, due to continual shortage of providers many find themselves traveling long distances to receive care and in some rural areas receiving care is more difficult. The shortage in providers has presented a real challenge for health care. This dilemma has many patients, legislators, clinics, and hospitals seeking care from professionals, many of whom are not physicians, to provide quality care. Having done so many times before, nurses have once again stepped up to the plate, per se, to fill in these gaps and provide quality health care. All across the profession, nurses have become more involved in the provision of health care. This study analyzes the implications of the Nurse Practitioner (NP) role on nursing and health care.

What do you think?
Is it to short or long?
Does it convey what the paper is in reference too?

Sorry, but there are several criticisms to make. It is too long, some words are wrongly used, and the punctuation is not all correct. Email me for some suggestions.
