Medical Research : Early Life And Motivations

The pediatric observation assignment allows me to observe not only about the children but also about myself. While doing this assignment, I have observed myself that I can understand the theories better when I can able to apply them practically. The developmental theories I have learned in class are reflected in this process of observation and documentation. Also, the observation assessment tool, Hawaii Early Learning Checklist helped me to observe specifically about developmental signs of the child of the assigned age range. Together with the knowledge I already have and the assist of HELP Checklist, I documented the skills, and patterns of development of the 30-months-old-preschooler-boy Isaac.

Nursing education is constantly evolving as new techniques are introduced within the medical profession. Thus, it is imperative nurses are kept updated, and continuously learning new methods to enhance and improve patient care. Over the last 150 years there has been a drastic change in nursing`s participation in research. Nursing research advanced initially from the investigations made by Nightingale in the nineteenth century of nursing education during the 1930`s. This further progressed to the research of nursing roles in 1950s following on to the 1990s where nurses began to focus on clinical problems and finding solutions to these problems which had a major impact within the nursing profession. As of today many health professionals are focusing on clinical research which in turn has helped to establish an evidence informed practice for nurses. (Burns and Grove 2003)

Once babies are grown in test tubes, there would be no need for parents and therefore vanish the incredible bond between the mother, father, and child. The childhood of a child that was grown in a test tube would be completely unconventional, since that child would not have loving parents to teach them anything. Adults raised this way would grow up to be unusual as a result of not knowing what love is since people first know about love because of the love between them and their parents. The adults grown from test tubes would most likely be independent and isolated from the rest of the world because they would not have created a bond with anyone or even interacted with anyone as a child.

Hamilton’s scientific mind was not put to rest. He then took to the finding the depth of John Brown’s skin. He conducted such investigations by applying blisters to his hands, legs, and feet. John Brown’s skin bore the scars for the rest of his life. It is difficult to understand the scientific reasoning behind such experiment from John Brown’s descriptions. John Brown’s statement also lacks clarity and should be questionable. John Brown was subject to additional experiments conducted by Dr. Hamilton, some which he decided to remain silent about. But it was not until John was so weak and unable to work in the fields that Dr. Hamilton finally decided to conclude his experiments on such a weak subject. The lack any medical journal entries or any other documentation from Dr. Hamilton may lead to the belief that he was not looking for professional recognition. It is highly improbable that he was just a mediocre doctor but what is possible is that Dr. Hamilton did not want to disclose his experiments because perhaps they were not completely scientific. The experiments may have been conducted for other purposes such as personal amusement or other

Research is important in health and social care setting because it helps improve medical treatments and medicines for

While shadowing Dr. Julia Shuleshko, I enjoyed witnessing the osteopathic philosophy in her practice, and how it led her to heal wounds better. She often described healing wounds as if it were a puzzle, and the best place to start was with any underlying health problems such as diabetes or circulation issues. I found it eye-opening that her default was to address the patient’s overall health as much as the wound itself. Her treatments utilized products to encourage tissue growth, but largely relied on the body’s ability to self-heal. She also implemented preventative strategies whenever possible—either through education or therapeutic methods. Her forward-thinking approach, grounded in osteopathy, was amazing, and inspired me to pursue a career

Humans obsess over the exploration of the unknown. The majority of our vast solar system remains unexplored. Most humans don’t have an idea what could be waiting for us outside of our atmosphere. Nonetheless, space exploration is not necessary unless our world is either perfect or destroyed. There is no need to throw away billions of dollars on space exploration missions when there are other necessities that need to be sought to first.

As I am quickly approaching my high school graduation, the question of “What are you going to major in? What are you going to be?” gets thrown my way very often. I had always known I wanted to go into the medical field and be help to others but I never knew what. I threw around the idea of becoming a pediatric surgeon, pulmonary pediatric doctor, or finally I came to the consensus of becoming a nurse. Now, another question follows, what kind of nurse? I have jumped around from specializing in Pediatrics or Neonatal. I am researching both careers very intensely to determine which career I am most interested in and would like to pursue. I knew both careers are very intense, it is not easy working with very sick and weak kids.

Recently nurse scientists conduct research that informs evidence-based interventions to promote health and manage illness in various healthcare settings. Therefore, nursing is no longer viewed as a task-oriented discipline, but as a science-oriented discipline which contributes to the research and discovery of new and innovative approaches to improving health outcomes. As stated by the Institute of Medicine: “The impending crisis, which has been foreseen for decades, is now upon us” and the time to act is now. The nursing scientist must continue to conduct researchers to address the challenges associated with providing quality health care through excellence in science and practice and through training the next generation of leaders in healthcare research and

The development and utilization of research depends upon the interaction between researchers and clinicians. Nurse in clinical practice identify the problems in need of investigation

In 1920, Earle Dickson made an invention that would change every parent, child, and chef's life; the band-aid. His wife was a bit of a klutz; she frequently burned or cut herself while cooking. Dickson had a brilliant idea. He cut patches of gauze and applied them to strips of adhesive tape. He then covered the strips with the fabric crinoline. Dickson worked at Johnson & Johnson, and he thought that everyone there would be impressed with his idea. Sure enough, when he pitched the idea, his boss loved it. Without the band-aid, helping my wounds would be nearly impossible.

Research is an essential tool in nursing practice; it been an important link in best nursing care since the days of Florence Nightingale. Florence Nightingale participated in nursing

Fiona Wood (born 2 February 1958) is a British born plastic surgeon working in Perth, Western Australia. She is the director of the Royal Perth Hospital burns unit and the Western Australia Burns Service. She is also a clinical professor with the School of Paediatrics and Child Health at the University of Western Australia and director of the McComb Research Foundation.

When Ambroise Pare was born in 1510 to his mother and his father who at the time was a barber surgeon. Soon after, 1532-1537, he followed in his father’s footsteps and became a barber surgeon after training at the hospital in Paris, France. At first he wasn’t able to pay for his license so he joined the military and worked at the hospital on base saving injured soldiers. During his service they ran out of boiling oil. He used a mixture of egg yolk, rose oil, and turpentine as a substitute. The next morning he went to check on his patients that were given the new treatment he found them resting easily while the other patients were in a lot of pain with fevers and swelling around the wounds. After his discovery he decided to use his new treatment.

Gaspare Tagliacozzi grew up in Bologna, Italy. A contemporary to Michelangelo and Leonardo, he would have walked similar cobblestone streets on his way to school. I’m sure he never imagined being a plastic surgeon either. Let alone the founder of modern-day plastic surgery. First, he was a professor of surgery and anatomy, and later developed the so-called “Italian method” of plastic surgery in the mid-sixteenth century. I learned of Tagliacozzi as a surgical resident, primarily because his portrait is the symbol for the American Board of Plastic Surgery. As a resident, that’s about all I had the time to learn regarding this Italian surgeon. But, as I matured in the field and gained more independence, I also gained more free time for
