For reasons beyond understanding I am doing my MSc in Nursing; it seemed like a good idea when I was being strongly encouraged by work now, however, I'm not so sure!
Because of the pathway I'm doing the modules I need to do have been pretty much chosen for me but I was 15 credits short so I decided to choose what I thought would be a fairly straightforward module and that was obviously my first mistake! I have choosen to do Health Promotion which I thought sounded interesting and pretty relevent since everything in health care is about prevention rather than cure. I did have a few doubts about how it would related to critical care (my speciality) but I choose it mainly on the fact that I thought it would be an esay course!
Well, I am 3 weeks into the course and I have to say that mostly I don't have a clue what the lecturer is talking about! It is all about philosphies and empowering patients, sorry clients (apparently the term patients imply victims!). Now I'm a critical care nurse, my patients don't have much empowerment and they need medical intervention to get better not some crappy behavioural change method and frankly in my opinion, if they are in ICU they have kind of missed the boat when it comes to promoting their health! Can you tell I'm not embracing and enjoying this course?! And now I have to write some damn essay on a model of health promotion within my speciality, this was supposed to be the easy module *moan*!
