Why do I love working in primary care as an RN?
1) you get to follow patients for many years - watch them ebb and flow through life. Get to know them & their families very well.
2) you get to encourage positive change and observe positive momentum.
3) prevention - the better I can manage patients in the community - the less hospital admissions, less major health events, less adverse reactions, less financial strain on the Canadian economy.
Prevention is key.
How can we prevent adverse health outcomes?
-Smoking Cessation
-Weight Management
-Cancer monitoring/surveillance
-Wellness checks
-Exercise promotion
-Fall reduction
It's truly a gift getting to know patient's on a personal level and watching them transform and succeed.
