Have you ever encountered a situation where you thought " I can not believe this person just said or acted like that", we all have. It is because everyone has different beliefs and values. Social media, for example Facebook, has presented a platform for people to express their opinions,values, or discuss controversial issues, but social media has also started heated debates that may affect others life or self-esteem. For example, Planned Parenthood, the Election, or the Black Lives Matter Movement are all different types of issues that have been televised by media displaying marches or protest to display how others moral actions have affected one's life. As nurses, we are affected by social and medical ethics, which both can sometimes hinder us from giving the type of care that our educational opinion believes the patient deserves. "However, people sometimes allow their emotions to overtake good reasoning; when this happens, it does not provide a good foundation for ethics-related decisions Butts and Rich,2016,p.4). Growing up my dream was to become a nurse because I have always loved to take care of people. I also just knew when I finally started my nursing career I could save the world, While in nursing school, I quickly learned …show more content…
Utilitarianism is practiced by the use of birth control. Many women use birth control to help reduce the risk of becoming pregnant. In my opinion, I appreciate the use of birth control because it allows the female to determine when she is prepared to reproduce. Having the opportunity to chose decreases the rate of adoption, child abuse, and abortion. Although my opinion has great benefits other people's beliefs may lead one to think that it is not ethically correct. For example, believers of natural law may disagree with the use of birth control or methods of
Since childhood, I have always wanted to be a nurse. Nursing comes naturally for me. It is my passion to show empathy and compassion indiscriminately. I am already in a position of providing care in the role of caregiver, but a higher education will expand my scope of practice and feed my passion to grow professionally.
Utilitarianism is the thought that actions are right if they benefit or bring happiness to a majority of the population. A utilitarian’s view on abortion could be that it is a good thing or a bad thing. They could argue that there is overpopulation in today’s society and around the world people are starving and going thirsty because of overpopulation. A utilitarian would say it would benefit the world’s population if a baby was aborted rather than taking another persons food. Another argument a utilitarian would make is that if a couple could not raise that child or would be alone (single parent) it would be better if they are aborted because it would put less of a burden on society having the mother not be
I want to become a nurse because as a baby I had many difficulties in coming to this world. From being eight months premature and breech, my mother had a hard time giving birth to me. She had to fly from the island of Kauai to Oahu to give birth to me and because I was eight months premature I almost didn't survive. I would not be here today if it weren't for the nurses at Kapiolani Medical Center who took care of me and nursed me into a healthy little baby. These nurses helped me fight for my life and when I was discharged, they gave me a little green doll that I still hold onto until this very day. For this reason, I have the desire to work hard and become the neonatal nurse that I always wanted to be. Being a neonatal nurse will give me the opportunity to
I have always wanted a career in which I can touch lives, that is when I discovered my love for nursing. In nursing, I could probably even help to save lives. I enjoy helping people in their times of need. I think it is the most fulfilling thing in the world, and nursing will allow me to do this for the rest of my life. I believe that the cure for many of the people's illnesses is not just in medicine, it is in the care and love that they receive as patients from nurses and the medical team. This is where I believe that I can make a great difference in people's lives.
Achieving my ultimate goal in life, which was to become a Registered Nurse on a Medical Surgical floor and being able to help people who are unable to take care of their selves was the best thing I could have ever done. Becoming a nurse has taught me so much such as being more patient, kind, compassionate,
I found out that I want to be a RN ( Registered Nurse), it has always been in my mind to become and study for a Registered Nurse. For example, I have been really interested in being able to help others by doing what I like and also I know that by every little effort I can save a life. Having an opportunity to help others has always made me happy even if I am not appreciated.
Growing up I knew I wanted to be someone that helped others. There are many careers with this expertise. Being a teacher, police officer, or even a lifeguard, but I personally want to be a prenatal nurse. Seeing my mom in the Army and helping with a younger sister that was born with cerebral palsy helped to mold me into wanting to be a person that can make a difference. But with becoming a nurse I know there are many responsibilities I have to keep in mind.
Nurses face ethical decisions frequently when giving patient care. These dilemmas can result from deciding how to allocate resources such as time or materials. Caring for patients from diverse backgrounds complicates decision-making when faced with dilemmas, because organizations that depend on standards of patient care that may not by culturally congruent. In these situations, the nurse must consider the patient’s beliefs and values along with the organization’s care expectations and bridge the gap between the two (Andrews and Boyle, 2016-a). In this post, I will describe ethical dilemmas with the current state of population health and health disparities, discuss the pros and cons of the Affordable Care Act, and explain how social justice
I remember sitting in my advising meeting with my guidance counselor in high school talking about my Senior Packet. One of the questions she had asked me was “What do you want to be?” I remember answering her confidently and saying “I want to be a neonatal nurse.” For as long as I could remember, I always knew I wanted to be a nurse. My mother telling me about the amazing nurses that took care of me while I was a premature baby was so inspiring. I knew that I wanted to help people and work with babies. After getting rejected from every nursing program I applied to my senior year of high school I knew that my dream of becoming a nurse was going to be very difficult.
I was always undecided regarding the career that I wanted to pursue. As I got older and looked at many choices in careers I realized that I wanted to have a career in the medical field. Being a nurse interests me because it requires the study of the human body along with other great opportunities that nurses have in this career. I want to become a nurse because I like being able to help those who are in need.
Just like most children I grew up playing dress up, many times playing a nurse. So as a child I wanted to be a nurse or so I thought. Then I grew up and thought about what I really wanted to be. Sure a nurse was on my list, but I wasn 't sure it was my dream career nor did I even think I could handle it. Then things took a drastic change.
Utilitarianism seems to me to be one of the most practical theories out of the ones we read about. Most people if not everyone want to be happy. They do things to make themselves happy and the people around them. I don’t think there are many people out there who work towards their unhappiness or express unhappiness as the goal of their lives. Overall, humans are rational beings who also enjoy the happiness of other people.
The ultimate goal for sustainability professional is to better the lives of future generation. What utilitarianism is, is an act is right if and only if it produces the most goods. With that we need to be aware that as a world we have to make sure happiness is promoted to all and to the future generations in order to find justice. By having the ability balancing the justifications of what is right for this world and what is right for the people, that is how we will get to the perfect state of overall wellbeing.
There have been many life experiences of mine that have influenced my dream of being a registered nurse. Growing up, I always wanted to help people and knew I wanted to have a job in the medical field. When I was a little girl, I remember watching the shows “Birth Day” and “A Baby Story” on television and telling everyone that I wanted to help deliver babies and care for the mother and baby. At the age of nine, I watched my mother deliver my baby brother. This experience is still vivid in my memories today. I remember thinking how interesting and amazing the experience was. I knew from that moment on I wanted to have a career in Maternity. As I grew older, I realized that what I wanted to be was a maternity nurse. This is where my passion for nursing originates. When I was sixteen, my grandfather was sick with lung cancer. I went over to his house almost every day to help the home health care nurse take care of him. I told her
Discussions of philosophy, morality and metaphysics are all inherently religious. It is impossible to ignore the question of faith when posed with the question of an overarching truth. This is difficult to accept for one who has learned, through years in secularity, to separate her faith from her schooling. I have spent some time separating religion from academics, pulling them apart and undertaking every intellectual activity with an asterisk to avoid the stigma of peers, but there comes a point at which the endeavoring student is asked for the truth, precisely as it is, without falsehood or premise, and at that point Christianity must make its return to the intellectual sphere or be denied. I choose the former, and I make my argument from
