We took nursing education to the next level and attended the NSW Nursing Association yearly conference today. It was interesting to hear about all the new research and other efforts going into nursing. Nursing is surely moving into a more scientific and medical field. It feels somewhat odd to be part of an industry that feels it needs to prove itself constantly. In the computer industry, we'd always been accepted as talent and although we were considered the cost department in a financial institution, we were obviously essential. Nurses are just as essential but there seems to be so much stigma to combat. Sadly, only the five of us had the courage to skip uni for the day to gain some real life experience. (of course, we'd notified our lecturers beforehand for approval. You think we are stupid?!)
