You have a good attitude, and you need to keep that up! It's interesting what you say about universities, they too are going to have to change, i think they need to focus more on the 'learning for life' model, rather than get your degree and never see you again.
It's funny, I chose nursing because I wanted to do something less obvious, so I just thought about different fields. I thought about visiting my sister recently in hospital, and I saw the difference since I was last there.
It won't be long before all but the most essential nurses are left, and those will be doing tasks such as giving bed baths. However administering medicines and making initial triage diagnoses, will be left to the machines I'm afraid.
All you can do, is point out to your family member that the amount of duties a nurse has had to carry out in the last 20 years has dropped dramatically. I'd love to hear the actual figures, but I wouldn't be surprised if 50% of their duties have already been given over to the machines.
Thanks for your comments! :-)
Agreed! Learning for life is the only way to live. I can thank my mom for the first 6 yrs of homeschooling, and instilling a "go look it up" mentality.
