Like a good mystery? Like to see a clue that a detective put together to solve the crime? You may not be aware of this, but being a nurse is like a detective. I compared what you need to be a detective to what you need to be a nurse, and found eight ways that are similar to the two professions:
Both must be knowledgeable
Detectives know their territory. They figured out how to walk around, what type of soil was found in the rain and at the time. They can look at a person's shoes or car tires and know where he has been.
The nurse's territory is their patient. They must find out: Why did he come here? What signs and symptoms do I need to be aware of to prevent his complications? What goals will he and I meet to make him better?
Both need to develop details
Detectives look closely at the surroundings, even if they think there is nothing particularly worthy of observation because they never know what might end up being important in resolving their case. The nurse will even observe the smallest things the patient has because they know that every piece of information can have an impact on the patient's care or rehabilitation.
Both must learn to read people's faces.
Detectives and nurses observe body language and pay attention to whether it is natural and consistent with their words. Criminals may lie to avoid sin. Because of jealousy, lack of understanding or cultural beliefs, patients may conceal the truth. The patient may say that he has no pain, but the face is grimacing.
Both are good at searching for information.
Detectives and nurses must know what they don't know and know where to find it. The detectives entered the public record. The nurse goes to the patient's chart.
5. Both are cleverly asking questions.
Detectives and nurses deal with the core of the problem without alerting them or making them uncomfortably uncomfortable.
6. Both files are very good
The detectives will carefully record what they found. The nurses know that if they didn't record what they did, they didn't do it in the world.
Both of them have become skilled
Detectives and nurses know how to use a computer and find information through the Internet.
8. Both value their team
Detectives and nurses have a trusted team to support them and help them get the job done. Colleagues are important to solve crimes and provide quality care to patients. These two majors cannot be done alone!
Both nurses and detectives must have good observation and critical thinking skills to gather evidence, classify facts and examine details to draw conclusions. Detectives solve criminal acts and drive criminals out of the streets. Nurses solve problems to prevent disease and help people recover from the disease. So if you are an LPN or RN, feel free to start calling yourself a nurse detective.
