The medical field has changed so much in the last decade, and continues to change everyday. New information is always coming out on how to give better care to patients and not make mistakes when doing it. The latest project that has emerged is the Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) project. This project was started by the non-profit, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The project was stared to reduce the number of healthcare errors and to better prepare nurses for their roles in patient care. The six competencies that make up the QSEN project are as follows; Patient-centered care, Teamwork and collaboration, Evidence-based practice, Quality improvement, Safety, and Informatics.

A career in social work or human services is similar in the duties and type of work environment. Both of these positions require a desire to help others in many ways. Human Services Assistants may help clients with special needs obtain the services that will help them to develop and improve their situation.

A career in social and human services is a rewarding choice for those who have a strong desire to help others in need and who have a strong sense of community.

In order to attain excellence in patient care, latest evidence to support care is necessary, and the outcomes of the care in nursing should show aspects of the process change (Frisch & Kelley, 2002).

Nursing is a growing and evolving field that changes with new initiatives, government regulations, and technology.

I am currently in my final year studying a Bachelor of Business majoring in Management and Logistics. I completed my high school education at a well respected school in Brisbane and received good grades, however, I was unsure of what career path I wanted to follow. I was accepted into a Bachelor of Business but deferred University to work as a retail assistant and travel. I decided to change my course of action and applied for a position for a Bachelor of Nursing. I was accepted and completed 1.5 years of the degree. However, as we run a family business, a dealer of new and used commercial trucks and trailers, my father encouraged me to transfer back into a Bachelor of Business to further my education as a business graduate. Once I transferred into the Bachelor of Business program, I commenced work as a Store Person in one of our warehouses. As I furthered my education and sustained unrelated injuries, which prevented me from working in the position, I was transferred into the Parts department to work as a Parts Administration Assistant. I soon moved down the Gold Coast and transferred from Nathan campus to Gold Coast campus to continue my studies. I commenced a new position as Online Store Coordinator and Marketing Assistant at our Yatala branch.
