Follow-up Question

You are a nursing student observing a primary nurse completing an admission history on a 55-year-old
woman. The patient shared that she was currently working as a nurse in a subacute unit of a long-term care
facility. She indicated that she felt pressured by her organization to continue her education and was adapting
to electronic health records. She commented on the patient population being “sicker” than she remembered.
Obviously frustrated, she stated, “I just want to retire and enjoy my life.” What can you do to help adapt
your nursing career to these trends?
