& Midwifery

attention for a qualified nurse is the patient:
not simply the condition from which he or she
may be suffering, but the needs and anxieties
which it may generate... including the pressures
on family and friends. The mark of the professional
is the ability to observe and assess what is
happening with a patient at any one time and
to select the most effective response.
Alternatives... There are a wide variety of
career paths and speciality fields you can follow
within the medical profession, from acupuncture
to veterinary nursing. For a large selection
of articles on these fields please visit our
