Talk:Risk for spiritual distress

Nursing diagnosis don't make a lot of sense to non students. However, if they were all collected somewhere online, like here, students would have a much easier time writing care plans. If you are a nursing student, plug in one page and use the rest.--Wrinkleworm 05:27, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

"Nursing diagnosis don't make a lot of sense to non students." And that is the entire gist of the problem. Nursing "diagnosis" doesn't make a whole lot of sense in itself. The time devotion to nursing diagnosis is pure folly. The entire system of coming up with a problem and solution is self-taught within a nursing program. The chances are excellent that you will have to learn and utilize a choice 8 of these "diagnosis" and utilize them to pass your nursing school tests. Then throw them away. You're just not going to be needing them in the real world unless some manager feels they are the best thing in the world.

Stick with the medical diagnosis and use that for your guide. Don't waste time with the petty nursing stuff. Got a heart attack? Treat the pain, diagnose the lead, anticoagulate, dilate the arteries, etc. You don't need a "care plan." You don't need "best practices." You do need an etched in stone way of doing things that have been successful for years. You don't need a whole lot of paperwork that is created on a one time basis for an admit, only to be filed in the back of the chart and ignored for an entire hospital stay. Nursing Diagnosis is a tidy little cottage industry to sell books, flash cards, and to perpetuate the income of a nurse that sits at a desk and doesn't have to talk to or touch patients or families.

Risk for Spiritual Distress. Disturbance in Energy Fields.

You people call yourselves "professionals?" You won't get any respect from the real professionals. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.229.14.186 (talk) 05:46, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
