Nurses Role in hospitals

Nurses play great roles in hospitals as no hospital can do without them. They are the main tools that are motivated towards achieving hospitals' competitive advantage as well as patients' better outcomes. Any hospital that seeks promotion, good reputation and a high rank among other hospitals must give great care to nurses at first. A nurse is a hospital mirror; she has to be clean, neat, tidy, and polite. She must be conducted, hard worker, accurate, dutiful, faithful and acknowledgeable. Supervision on nurses must be periodically by specialists who are able to assess and evaluate nurses' performance and level of professionalism well. The assessment process depends on main stages and the first step to be done after assessing the nurses' performance is their training. Nurses' training can be done at any time of the day according to the time schedule of their work. Nurses are divided into groups of levels. Professionals are those who have to provide nurses of all levels with the needed training. Training must include specific professional side as well as the administrative sides. Educating nurses is essential as they have to be acquainted with all updates, latest technology and all relevant information about diseases, prevention and pain management besides teaching them how to deal with chronic diseases patients. Working within a multidisciplinary team is important for nurses who can learn and get more experiences from all members of the team. A multidisciplinary team which consists of physicians, psychotherapists, psychologists, social workers, pharmacists and nurses can share experiences and knowledge about diseases, patients and updated technologies and methodologies to cure or reduce illness and achieve better outcomes which is a goal that all hospitals seek and work for. Nurses role in hospitals is not less important than anyone's role yet more crucial and effective. A patient spends more time with nurses than with doctors or relatives of the patient. Nervous stressed busy nurses usually lead patients to retard and bring bad reputation for the hospitals they are working in. It is important to give nurses organized work schedules that help them overcome the work environment obstacles which may limit their positive activities while doing their interventions for their patients. A nurse role is far from giving medicine to the patients or following their medical status, it is a vital and basic factor of success that improves patients' quality of life as well as improving the hospital level of performance.
