This document provides an introduction to basic nursing levels and responsibilities. It discusses job growth and opportunities for registered nurses in settings like hospitals, doctors' offices, and nursing homes. The document also summarizes two important innovations in Alzheimer's research: studies on the role of amyloid plaques and metals like iron and zinc in the disease.

2. Registered nurses work to provide health care, prevent disease, and help patients cope

3. With illness and stress. Nurses are empowered to be advocates. Nurses have a powerful

4. Position of nurses advocate. Advocate means vocal supporter of any cause. Patients are

5. Important in healthcare, nurses assist physicians during surgeries, examinations and treat-

6. Mints; administer medication. RN’S is the one to develop care plans for the patients

7. Speedy recovery process. Advocacy does not end at the patient’s bedside. It is important

8. Every nurse to be an advocate and a profession of greatness. Advocates can use

9. Knowledge and expertise to assist others. RN’s provide bedside nursing and medical

10. Regimens. They can also supervise LPN’S and CNA’S. Registered nurses that are

11. Employed in hospitals usually work in one department such as, pediatrics, maternity,

12. Surgery, Emergency Rooms, ICU and Treatment of Cancer Patients. RN’S dress wounds,

13. Gives injections and maintain records. Some perform laboratory and office work. Provide

14. Directly to the physician and usually responsible for taking vitals and monitoring in-and-

15. Out volumes, treating common like bed sores, and preparing several procedures such as

16. Dressing wounds, promote health, prevent disease, and help patients cope with illness.

17. Job opportunities for RNs are expected to be very good. Jobs will grow faster than

18. Average for all nurse occupations through 2012, and because the occupation is very

19. Large, many new jobs will result. Annual earning of registered nurses were $ 48,090

20. In 2002. General medical and surgical hospitals $ 49,190 home health care & 45,890

21. In 2010 annual earning reach $ 69,670 for RNs.

23. Protein has build up on the brain that will convert into unsafe amounts. This information

24. Opens a big window on Alzheimer’s disease an ion metabolism. Ashley Bush is one of the

25. Scientist of the mental health research institute university of Mel borne. Jack Rogers of

26. Harvard medical school states now we have a lot of information on this critical protein

27. That underpin its role several years ago when they discovered that the RNA template for

28. The APP protein includes an iron responsive element. Although amyloid does not explain

29. What goes on in the brain of Alzheimer’s patients? The scientist have been focusing a lot

30. On this disease. Trials of the drug designed to clear amyloid plaques haven’t worked. In

31. Fact this disease is also know to have high levels of metals, including iron builds up

32. Inside neurons and zinc. Scientist has also founded the loss of iron oxidizes to

33. Pathological iron accumulation and neurodengeneration diseases characterized by

34. Dementia. After 10 years of work, Bush and Roger’s workers worked very hard

35. On the abnormal exchange of zinc to amyloid pathology and iron accumulation in

36. Alzheimer’s disease. When you have a loss of APP in cells this cause iron levels to build.

37. APP promotes export of iron out of cells. Studies have shown in lab mice lacking APP

38. Become vulnerable to dietary iron, which cause the unsafe, oxidative form of iron to

39. Build in mice neurons. Researchers notice notice the finding suggest that zinc may be a

40. Great medical break thru in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease. So far researchers

41. And their studies in animals and early, short-term clinical trials of zinc-lonophore drugs

42. Including clioqunol and PB12 in people with Alzheimer’s disease shown positive results.

43. Field-Related Professional Society or Professional Publication

44. Henderson was able to successfully make the distinction between medicine and the job of

45. A nurse, stating that a nurse is to assist anyone, no matter the condition of their health in

46. Order to help that person gain strength, knowledge, and will. While many give plenty of

47. Credit to Florence nightingale for successfully changing the medical care that was

48. Provided in the 19th century, another very important name to be associated with these

49. Changes are Mary Sea Cole. Once the war was over, Sea Cole was out of many and in poor

50. Health but due to her help in the war, a benefits fund was set up and she was given

51. Money. She was looking to give women more rights, especially when it came to birth and

52. Being a mother, despite the fact that the Catholic Church and the government at the time

53. Highly disapproved of her intentions. Her hospital soon became a Red Cross location and

54. Soldiers from all over, including those from France, England, and Germany were treated

55. As necessary. Mary Brecking, born in Kentucky in 1881, is best known for creation the

56. Frontier nursing service which was able to service and provide healthcare to those who

57. Were to poor to afford it or those who lived in a very remote location throughout the

58. Appalachian region in Kentucky during her lifetime. She was also able to set up the

59. First school in the U.S. that trained certified women to become midwives. She also

60. Joined the committee American pour les regions devasters da la France and within the

61. Same year decided to create a visiting nurses program, which later became a huge success

62. As many woman were trained as proper midwives and nurses who would travel to

63. Provide assistance. Mary Eliza Mahoney makes the list # 3 for her amazing achievements

64. As not only a nurse, but an African American during her time, as she would become the f

65. First registered African American nurse. However, this would be a struggle and most

66. Definitely a daunting task, as many women in her time, especially black women, would

67. Simply make them content in doing domestic work, which often including hours

68. Upon hours of cleaning, scrubbing, and other shores. To avoid this, she spent plenty of

69. Time in the New England hospital for women and children working as an unofficial nurse

70. Assistant for almost 15 years. When the battle ended wounded solders were left to die,

71. Barton decided that three needed to be a way for the northern states to collect, donate,

72. And distribute the needed goods and medical supplies for those affected by the war.

73. When She was a teenager, nightingale believed that a divine voice called to her and

74. Wanted her To Become a nurse, but her social status definitely didn’t fit the job, as she

75. Was born and raised by very well off British family. During her time, women of her age

76. And social Status were to become mothers, and nursing was well out of pictures as it was

77. Often seen as a profession some one from a very low class would have. In 1853, the

78. Crimean war Between Germany and Russia broke out, and since she was in the vicinity,

79. Nightingale was Sent to scutari army hospital in order to help care for wounded and dying

80. Soldiers. While doing her job as a nurse, nightingale also took the time to look around

81. And figure out why so many of the soldiers were dying.
