Why should I go to America to be a nurse?

C.Y. Zhang, an American registered nurse (RN), would like to ask the friends present here to answer a question: Who really wants to be a nurse? Why do you ask this question? Because before I went abroad, as far as I know, many nurses didn't want to be nurses. I didn't want to be a nurse at that time. If you ask me now if I want to be a nurse in America, I will say, I am very willing to be a nurse, and I am willing to be a nurse all my life. The oldest nurse I saw in America was 82 years old. American nurses can retire at the age of 65, but you can be as old as you want, if you are in good health. Why do I want to be a nurse in the United States all my life? After listening to my introduction, you will understand: 1. How did I come to the United States? I graduated from the technical secondary school nursing class of the military medical school, and later I was admitted to the technical secondary school nursing class of the military medical college with a college diploma. I am a military nurse, but I have very little clinical nursing experience. I have only worked in clinical practice for more than two years and in ENT for one year. As we all know, the work of nurses in ENT is relatively simple. I have worked in surgery for more than a year, and I really don't have much nursing experience. Later, I worked in the reference room until I left the army. At that time, my nursing experience was so little that I didn't even know many drug names, only some of the most common drug names such as penicillin. Therefore, my nursing knowledge was very general at that time, and none of you are much better than me at that time. In the 199s, one of my classmates went to America. She wrote to me to have a look. I asked to change jobs at that time and wanted to go out and have a look. I went to America on a tourist visa in 1996. I was in my thirties that year. Second, how did I get the American Registered Nurse (RN)? After I came to the United States, I wanted to have a look at it at first, and then I would go back to China after playing. My classmate asked me to go to a hospital to have a look. I stayed in that hospital for a few days as a volunteer, helping patients with odd jobs. I can't stay for a few days, because I can't speak the language and I can't do anything. I feel that I can't go back to China. My classmate told me not to rush back to China, let me learn English, then learn American nursing knowledge, and try to get the qualification to stay in the United States by taking the CGFNS exam. My English was very, very poor when I went to America. When I was young, it was the Cultural Revolution, and I didn't learn English in primary school. There was no English in junior high school. I didn't learn English until high school, and I came to learn "Long live Chairman Mao". At that time, I learned 26 letters and phonetic symbols, and I learned a present continuous tense. When I was in nursing school, I hardly learned anything in English. In the English exam, I took the English-Chinese translation of short essays. The teacher told everyone the Chinese meaning of the essays in advance, so that they could be memorized. Then I wrote the Chinese meaning in the exam and handed in the papers. I'm in a fog about grammar. In junior college, I didn't learn English very much, and I didn't pay attention to it at that time. When I arrived in America, they asked me, "What English have you studied?"? I just told them, for example, dogpig. This was my English level at that time. All the friends here are much better than me at that time. You have been learning English since middle school, and they are all very formal. When I first arrived in the United States, there was a China City in the California where I went. I didn't need to speak English in China City, because all the people there were China people from Taiwan Province, Hongkong and the mainland. They told me a joke. They saw a foreigner in a large supermarket run by China people and said to the foreigner, "How did you come to our country?" The foreigner was very angry at that time. I taught myself English there for 1 months. Looking back now, when I began to teach myself English, I had a grammar book by Zhang Daozhen in my hand, and it was a mess to read it once. Later, I read the American basic nursing course, which is the RN exam textbook. I watch it at home every day. I used to work outside for two days, but once I started working, I didn't have time to study. Later, I stopped working and devoted my time to study. When I read the first chapter, I almost didn't know a word, so I looked it up in the dictionary and filled it with the phonetic symbols and meanings of the words with an oil pen, and the pages were full. When I saw the second chapter, it was much better, and I could see the free place; When I saw the third chapter, there were not many marks on the page. You should keep watching and practicing English now. You are much better now than I was then. I taught myself for ten months, learning English and learning RN textbooks. At that time, I also wanted to take the CGFNS test first, but because new york and other states could take the RN test directly without taking the TOEFL test first, I didn't take the CGFNS test first, but took the RN test directly. In the United States, exams are conducted on microcomputers. When a certain number of questions are worked out, microcomputers stop. This shows that either the results are very good and passed; Either your grades are not good and you failed. To tell the truth, I don't quite understand some questions, and I was blinded when I chose them. Some questions involve posture, so I guess and answer in various postures. I guess I did well in the exam, and I passed it once. I don't think it is difficult to take the RN exam. Third, the work and environment of American nurses American nurses attach great importance to solving patients' pain psychologically and spiritually. When I was in the hospital just after I took the RN exam, a patient asked me, "Why didn't the hole in my wound go up?" At that time, I didn't know how to answer him. I couldn't answer in English. In fact, I couldn't answer why I couldn't grow up in Chinese. Later, an American registered nurse came to ask me what was going on, and then said to the patient, "Because your wound grows from the bottom up, then the bottom heals and the surface grows." The explanation is very in place, and the patient is very relieved. But American nurses are not as good as our nursing skills. In the United States, hospital nurses are very free to choose which class to attend. Generally, they decide with the head nurse 2 days in advance. You can work all day shifts, all night shifts or all night shifts. You can even choose to sit in an office instead of being on duty. Of course, there are salary standards for all kinds of jobs. Fourth, the status of American nurses is very high. American nurses have a high social status and are respected as doctors. Nurses are not attached to doctors, but a separate profession. In fact, the hospital is managed by nurses. In the hospital, all the information and dynamic changes of patients obtained by doctors are directly provided by nurses. When I was working in the United States, I saw an American nurse calling an air conditioner repair company and saying, "I'm RN. My air conditioner is broken. Please come and fix it." What she means is to emphasize her identity and let people fix it in time. At that time, I almost laughed, thinking about what RN is and what it said. If in China, who can say that I am a nurse, how can you help me? I don't think it's possible. I don't even want to say I'm a nurse in China. Therefore, in the United States, the nurse (RN) is a respected profession, and the nurse (RN) herself is very proud. I didn't want to be a nurse when I was in China. I didn't want to take the exam when I took the junior college nurse class. My family gave me the name, so I had to take the exam. I was good at math and physics. I was admitted to the junior college nurse class, which was the first time for the military medical college. Later, when I was a nurse in a military hospital, I tried to get out of the clinic and engage in library management, but I just didn't want to be a nurse. Now, in the United States, I really feel that American nurse RN is a respectable profession and can give full play to one's talents, so I am willing to be a nurse all my life.
