Lillian: I’d like to become a nurse like you. I would have a great bedside manner.
莉蓮:我想成為像你一樣的護士。我會對病患非常友善。
Amos: It’s a difficult job, but I like it. I’m a registered nurse, but there are a lot of different types of nurses. If you’re willing to get an advanced degree, you could become a clinical nurse specialist or a nurse practitioner.
亞摩斯:這份工作雖然不易,但是我喜歡。我是一名注冊護士,還有其他不同種類的護士。如果你能考取更高級的學位,你就可以成為臨床護理專家或執業護士。
Lillian: I don’t think I want to spend a lot of time in school.
莉蓮:我可不想將大把的時間浪費在學校里。
Amos: Then you just need a little more training after your bachelor’s degree. You can be a registered nurse, licensed practical nurse, emergency room nurse, operating room nurse, critical care or intensive care nurse, or a home care nurse.
亞摩斯:獲得學士學位后你只需要接受一段時間的培訓即可。你可以選擇成為一名注冊護士,持照實習護士,急診護士,手術室護士,急救護理或重癥監護護士及家庭護理護士。
Lillian: Well, I dropped out of college. I just couldn’t hack it.
莉蓮:我大學的時候輟學了。我就是讀不下去了。
Amos: Hmm, then you might want to consider becoming a certified nursing assistant. You’ll still need to go through a training program, though, and to become certified.
亞摩斯:嗯,之后你可能想要考慮成為注冊護士助理。要想獲得認證,你仍然需要經歷一個培訓過程。
Lillian: That still sounds like a lot of studying.
莉蓮:聽起來還是得努力學習。
Amos: You do want to work in nursing, don’t you?
亞摩斯:你確實想當護士,對吧?
Lillian: I do, but I thought all I’d have to do is serve meals, talk to the patients, and make them comfortable. That’s what they do on TV.
莉蓮:是的,但我以為只需要端茶倒水,陪病人聊天,讓他們放松。電視里都是這么演的。
Amos: Then my advice to you is to become an actor and play a nurse on TV. I think that might be the closest you’re going to get to the nursing profession.
亞摩斯:那么我只能建議你當演員或在影視中扮演護士。我覺得這才是你接近護理專業最便捷的途徑。
