Jadi Perawat?… Ogah..ah!!!!

Ada suatu fenomena yang menarik dalam “Ruang Keperawatan Indonesia”, Judul diatas adalah sebuah jawaban yang sering akan kita dapatkan ketika pertanyaan itu akan kita tanyakan kepada masyarakat secara umum.
Mereka akan dengan bangganya menyampaikan jawaban : “YA” ketika mereka di beri tawaran untuk melanjutkan study pada peminatan yang masih di anggap berada pada level yang tinggi di kalangan masayarakat Indonesia seperti : (ekonomi, tekhnik, hukum, kedokteran dsb). Tapi mereka akan mereka akan dengan cepat mengelengkan kepala dengan jawaban ?GAH-AH”ketika mereka di Tanya tentang kesempatan untuk melanjutkan di peminatan “KEPERAWATAN".
Hal ini terjadi karena adanya suatu pemahaman yang salah dan keliru tentang “Perawat dan Keperawatan”di lingkup masyarakat Indonesia secara umum sehingga mengakibatkan perilaku tidak tertarik untuk menekuni apalagi memilih profesi perawat.
Yang lebih menarik lagi, ketika seorang mahasiswa keperawatan telah memulai suatu proses pembelajaran, ada perasaan penyesalan “Terbersit”dalam hati mereka karena persepsi yang salah tentang profesi “Perawat”itu sendiri. Persepsi keliru itu terjadi karena kesalan informasi yang mereka terima dan kenyataan di lapangan .
Menyesalkah mereka telah memilih Perawat sebagai profesi mereka??? Kalau pertanyaan itu ditanyakan kepada mereka maka dengan tersipu malu mereka akan memberikan jawab : “YA”saya menyesal……..
Mengapa??????

Tentu karena ada suatu kesenjangan antara harapan dan kenyataan awal yang mereka dapatkan, padahal itu semua terjadi karena misinterprestasi terhadap “Profesi perawat” yang akan mereka jalani.
Kondisi ini sangat berbanding terbalik dengan Negara-negara yang secara umum masyarakatnya sudah memahami benar dan tahu persis apa dan bagaimana serta kesempatan apa saja yang akan mereka dapatkan kalau menjadi “Perawat” seperti : Philipines, India, dsb.

A Vegetarian Diet May Be Best For Humans, Really Folks.
This is a continuation of my article on the same caption.
I am going over the several popular items consumed by non-vegetarians, why they may be actually harmful to your health and why you may want to consider a vegetarian diet as your dietetic choice. Okay, at least try it for a month or so and see what it’s like my friend.
Here we go, more harmful foods co-incidentally NOT in a vegetarian diet.
The Vegetarian Diet: Avoided Products and Reasons Why (continuation)
Milk:
The milk of any animal is basically too rich humans. It is highly acidic and mucus forming. The fact that man needs to drink the milk of another creature after it has been weaned of his own mother is actually laughable and propaganda hyped by its endorsers basically for their gain.
Being a predigested food, it has been shown to cause various complications in the stomach and colon, such as cramps and convulsions. Its calcium is highly difficult to assimilate. This results in its introduction in free form into the blood stream and an eventual deposition in the tissues, cells and joints where it may cause intense pain and suffering. Milk is loaded with antibiotics, bacteria, pesticides, cholesterol and powerful growth hormones that are deeply troubling to the human body.
Contrary to the hype, drinking milk will not prevent osteoporosis. In 1995, the Harvard Nurses’ Health Study conducted on over 75, 000 women revealed that those supposedly acquiring calcium from milk experience more fractures compared to those drinking little or no milk.
Animal milk is for the animal’s offspring and not you. Think about it. That being said, it is advisable to eliminate milk and all dairy from the diet for optimal health.
Though I have read that raw goat’s milk could be sufficient for nursing mothers to feed their babies, I’d say simply the milk in your mammary glands should be the most ideal . If for whatever reasons you feel like you cannot give milk up at least see to it that it is diluted and that you add some maple syrup to this solution.
Some research indicates that sour milk is less harmful and may even possess laxative qualities. Still I think for the creaminess it might offer, basic Avocadoes or occasional Coconut milk as made by the Brazilians would be way better choices.
Soy milk by the way is not much better than milk as they are basically legumes which are unbalanced protein-rich foods.
-Honey: This over-promoted, overpriced product being sold to gullible health faddists should be eliminated from your diet. It is meant only for the bees that make it.
Being predigested it enters the bloodstream rapidly raising the blood sugar way above normal. To correct this, the pancreas must produce insulin or death may occur.
Replace honey with genuine maple syrup for a much more balanced and safer, sweetener.
-Eggs: Even worse than meats. Research has shown they are very constipating and its white is dangerous, acid forming and too high in protein qualities.
-Fish: I’ve heard many people proudly declare “I don’t do red meat just fish and poultry!” However, they are very mistaken in that; although for the reasons given above-meat is highly detrimental for consumption, Fish is even worse. It putrefies much quicker than meat. If you cut a piece of fish and meat side by side, you’ll notice that the former decays much quicker than the latter. Imagine what it’s like on the inside of the body. Moreover, taking into consideration the heavy metal contamination that fish contains-based on the pollution of their habitat, Fish is an especially bad choice, so do yourself a favor, avoid fish at all times if you can!
Though some non-vegetarians show bodily vigor, they usually do not possess the vegetarian’s endurance and strength. Take a look at Bill Pearl, five-time winner of the Mr. Universe pageant. Even our distant cousins, the Apes in the wild, are vegetarians as well. After reading these factors, if you are still on the fence on how safe and healthy being a vegetarian can be for your health-or if you need to be convinced of its benefits-do not worry, becoming a vegetarian (a well balanced one that is) is definitely the biggest step you’ll be taking towards improving your health.

Becoming A Registered Nurse
Considering the responsibilities, the long hours and the relatively low pay, it is amazing that anyone would wish to become a registered nurse – not to mention the educational expense. Fortunately, there are those who are selfless enough to appreciate the fact that the rewards associated with healthcare careers are not necessarily monetary ones, but who choose to serve for the greater good of society.
The bad news is that because of the stranglehold large pharmaceutical corporations and private, for-profit insurers have on what passes for a health care system in the U.S. and their corresponding interest in minimizing and externalizing costs while maximizing and internalizing profits at the expense of public health, traditional nursing schools have become very difficult to get into – and quite expensive to attend – despite the fact that there is a severe shortage of nurses in the U.S.
The good news is that online nursing schools offer an alternative that is both more accessible and more economical. Although there are clinical and lab components to all nurse training programs that must be completed at a real-world facility, most basic course-work can be completed at home over the Internet.
These basic courses include Introduction to Professional Nursing, Nursing Management, Health Policy Issues, Nursing Administration, Health and Disease Management, Research Methods, Nursing Theory, and more. Many online nursing schools have no residency requirement whatsoever. Additionally, some of these courses are self-paced, allowing the student to deal with other work and family responsibilities during his/her nurse training.
At this point, you may be thinking that this is all very well and good, but what about lab work requirements and clinical experience? You are correct if you think that no online school will allow students to complete this part of online nursing degrees over the Internet. What most schools do is arrange for the student to fulfill clinical requirements at a medical facility near their place of residence, once basic coursework has been completed.
Currently, online nursing programs offered through public universities cost between $110 and $170 per credit hour; depending on the school’s academic calendar, this could be anywhere from 60 to 90 credits. As an online student, you usually won’t be charged out-of-state fees and tuition, however.
One way to cut costs further is to consider taking credit for basic prerequisites by examination. Most nursing programs require that the candidate has taken course in basic biology, chemistry and mathematics; the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) enables students to earn credits in these subjects for 10% of what it would cost to take the full course. If you have experience and/or knowledge and skills in these areas, CLEP tests are definitely worth looking into.
