Nursing Attributes

Life in the South and life in the North were two different places. They both had different ways of life and how they thought. Geography was one way that life was different, so they had different ways to adapt to their environment. Economy was another, the South farmed while the North has factories. The last way was transportation. The North have double the amount of railroads compared to the South.

The North and South were not only different based off of their beliefs. They also had completely

The north was an industrious society. It encouraged industry and business. The south lacked in industry. It attracted anti-slavery groups by opposing the growth of slavery into new territories. The north didn’t understand how slavery didn’t cause for growth in industrialism, social advancements and education. The north produced iron and steel, while the south was mainly producing cotton. North thought that free labor was more efficient than slavery, because the slaves did not have encouragements to do the work so they did the bare

The North and South differed significantly in how they viewed their regions culturally. The North was against slavery and believed the Southerners were inferior to them. For example, in “The Cultural Roots of Disunion,” Cobb signifies that the North represented American ways when he says, “Northern States were Synonymous with America- with the South standing as the antithesis” (The Cultural Roots of Disunion”). This is important because it shows superiority that the North felt towards the South and emphasized the North’s belief that to be Northern was to be American. The northerners felt that slaveholders had too much power and that slavery did not fit into the ideas of the republic. However, contrastingly, in the South, slaveholders believed that their slave culture ultimately benefitted the economy (Sectional Conflict 11/8). In “The Cultural Roots of Disunion,” Cobb contrastingly describes the Southern culture by describing it as, “the

Life in the North was different from life in the South. There are multiple reasons for this thesis, but there are three main reasons that stick out. These would be geography, transportation, and economy. These things were very different in the South versus the North.

There were some discrepancies, such as the South thinking the North was too fast-paced and not personal enough, or the North thinking that the South was culturally behind and not as educated, but for the most part the social attitudes were the same. Ideals of freedom, religion, and patriotism were commonplace. Other such values that weren't as prevalent were loyalty, patience, chastity, honesty, generosity, and ambition. While these values weren't shared by everyone, and there was some skew towards one side or the other, they were fairly popular in both the North and the South. Unfortunately, another view shared by both the North and the South is that black people, be they African Americans, Africans, Jamaicans, or from anywhere else, were not as advanced or capable as white

In the beginning of the 1800s, it was kind of easy to tell that the North and the South were not alike since, in the North, slavery was forbidden, while in the South, it was the most important part of the community. As years passed by, differences became more evolved, especially when the North became more industrial, and its economy became a market economy. Though the North and South both have different economies, and different daily lives, they both have similarities.

Another nursing strength that I have developed is patient advocate by promoting what is right and best for my patients when communicating with the rest of the healthcare team. A recent example of patient advocacy would be couple months ago, when I had a patient who had a swollen fistula arm that wasn’t used for few weeks because of the swelling and instead she had a hemodialysis central catheter placed for her treatment. I realized from the nephrologist’s order sheet that the physician wants to use the fistula instead of the catheter. When I mentioned to the patient that we are using her fistula for the treatment, she immediately refused and stated that her arm is still sore and not ready yet to be used. I consulted the nephrologist who refused to use the hemodialysis catheter. After a lot of convincing and advocating for my patient, the physician complied and agreed to use the central catheter instead of the fistula.

As of now in the united states America, the north and the south have very differing

I have been lucky enough to experience first hand the hard work and dedication being a nurse requires. Having been raised by a critical care nurse, as well as going through many health predicaments of close family members that involved close interaction with many nurses, I have learned that nurses truly are incredible people. To be a nurse, one must be dedicated to the tasks at hand, as well as to the role overall. You must be passionate and eager to better yourself in order to help better others. Especially being in a rural setting, nurses must be quick to learn and ready to take on whatever task is asked. That being said, I feel that I in fact render the skills and attributes necessary to become a successful nurse, especially in the rural setting.

The Oxford English Dictionary defines a nurse as, “A person trained to care for the sick or infirm, especially in a hospital.” However, this is not my definition of a nurse. My idea of a nurse relates to a superhero, aiding in the healing of a body. A nurse is a champion who comes into work with energy, patience, aching feet, stained scrubs with sweat from a strenuous day at work but always a smile. A nurse goes home 12 hours later from their shift only to remember the extra blanket for Jody and also that is not sweat on my clothing, it is urine, but a nurse is thrilled that Phil finally went to restroom after a ten-minute story about 10 cent candies. Not just any person could care for Jody, who requests three blankets each night or Phil who refuses to utilize the restroom, but a superhero could, a nurse could. I yearn to be a nurse; to be a superhero.

or their family. Correspondingly, it should also be expected a nurse will act within her legal boundaries and not preform misconduct such as malpractice, neglect, abuse, and so on.

During the course of my introduction to nursing class, I developed an even greater knowledge about what it means to be a nurse and the characteristics of the nursing profession. This has helped me grow a deeper bond with the career field that I have chosen.
