How would you apply your sociological knowlege to a nursing job?


why do nurses need to know about sociology

Nurses need to know about the "Human Condition" .. in all aspects of their patient's life. We treat the whole person, emotional, social, physical, etc because their healing depends on the whole person being healthy for them to get healthy.

For example, a doctor often knows a significant about specific body parts and organ systems, but they do not know about all the necessary information to help that person recover within their home, within their family, within their community.

Nurses tend to treat the patient wholistically, and the social parts of a person are as important as the body part that needs healed.

i guess ig you read some psychoanalysis books you ll undersatnd very well how to apply your knowlege or you ll know how to do so just with the time by getting some experience you ll use your knowlegdeit willl become as fine as you wish good luck

Let me tell you the story my soc prof told us.
He was giving a lecture to a class and each student was asked to stand when asking their questions. One young lady cleary had a question but seemed reluctant to ask. She finally stood up and with her head bowed she asked her question. Insulted that she would not look at him the teacher demanded the girl look at him. She said nothing, just kept standing with her head down. Long story short she finally got her to look at him and when she did she was crying. It turns out that she was raised in Puerto Rico and was told that if a woman looks a man in the eye she wants him sexually.
Understanding culture helps you understand that a patient may not always tell you up front what you need to know. There are shame issues, particularly with women and reproductive issues. You may have to probe further with these women and you may have to watch your wording.
Religious Jewish women don't feel comfortable being alone with a man not their husband and may not seek the help they need if they have to.
