Which fits this job description more.. doctor or nurse? |
OK.... I want a fast paced, insane environment, with long hours. I want to work in the emergency room. Nurses seem to do more work and handle more things, but are they always under doctors, i like being in charge, but i dont want to diagnose somthing and then have someone else fix it. I think i would like to be a head nurse in a busy emergency ward. I dont like the idea of long term patients (elderly patients) though baby's are ok. :) Most people i have read about become nurses to connect with people, i just want to save their lives. So should i be a nurse, or a doctor.... i understand there are different kinds of doctors so what kind should i be? A surgen is more of a detailed oriented slower paced thing that im not interested in. I have finicial and grades for both, i work my own way through school. I eventually want to work for/volunteer for doctors without border or some such international aid organization I think a nurse fits the description more, so why don't you become a nurse practitioner? From what I understand, it's the next best thing to a doctor. I think the down side of being a doctor is the load of responsibility when things go wrong (malpractice suits), and the malpractice insurance is so ridiculous in some states that good doctors are forced to move out-of-state. Let's say you work in a clinic; when the doctor is not available, you'd be the next person in charge to make diagnoses and so forth. It doesn't seem like the level of income is your concern, which is interesting; it just seems like you have a bit of an ego and you don't like to be bored, so it sounds like you want to be a doctor. I don't know how you equate elderly patients with long-term care, because the elderly are usually the first to die, aren't they? Are you looking for a steady stream of different patients? ER sounds about right, or how about working in a school or governmental office, someplace that has an in-house medical staff? A lot to think about so I wish you the best. What about a nurse manager? Then you get a lot of different challenges and authority at the same time. Good luck! whatever you decide to do, be careful of burn out. That happens when you have been doing it too long for the wrong reasons. I know doctors & nurses who need to be in a different line of work because they have forgotten why they originally got into their field. They look at human patients as assembly line parts that may or may not function as they think they should. You might also learn how to spell. Writing legibly is debateable, spelling is essential. Good Luck & Blessings |
