Nursing, as a typically female profession, must deal constantly with the false impression that nurses are there to wait on the physician.
護理學作為一個典型的女性類職業，必須要改變那種作為護士必須要跟在醫生后面的錯誤觀念
As nurses, we are licensed to provide nursing care only.
作為護士，我們有資格權力只提供護理服務。
We do not have any legal or moral obligation to any physician.
對任何醫生，我們都沒有任何法律或道義上的義務。
We provide health teaching, assess physical as well as emotional problems, coordinate patient related services,
我們提供健康教育、評估身體和情感上面的問題、協調與病人相關的各項服務
and make all our nursing decision based upon what is best or suitable for the patient.
并做出基于對病人最好或最適合的護理決策
If in any circumstance we feel that a physician's order is inappropriate or unsafe,
如果在任何情況下，我們覺得醫生的指令是不合適的或不安全的
we have a legal responsibility to question that order, or refuse to carry it out.
我們都有法律責任來質疑這項指令，或者拒絕執行。
Nursing is not a nine-to-five job with every weekend off.
護理不是一個朝九晚五、擁有周末的工作。
All nurses are aware of that before they enter the profession.
在進入這個職業領域之前，所有的護士都明白這一點。
The emotional and physical stress, however, that occurs due to odd working hours is a prime reason for a large of the career dissatisfaction.
然而，由于加班引起的情感和生理上的壓力，是產生職業不滿的主要原因。
It is sometimes required that we work overtime, and that we change shifts four or five times a month.
我們有時需要加班，我們一個月還會換班4到5次。
That disturbs our personal lives, destruct our sleeping and eating habits, and isolates us from everything except job related friends and activities.
這打亂了我們的個人生活，破壞了我們的睡眠和飲食習慣，還把我們和其他一切隔離，除了與工作相關的朋友或活動
The quality of nursing care is being affected dramatically by these situations.
護理質量是被這些情況影響最大的，
Most hospitals are now staffed by new graduates, as experienced nurses finally give up trying to change the system.
現在大多數醫院都是應屆畢業生來擔當這個職位，因為經驗豐富的護士最終都會放棄試圖改變這一系統。
Consumers of medically related services have evidently not been affected enough yet to demand changes in our medical system.
醫療服務的消費者們顯然沒有受到足夠大的影響，以至于讓他們去呼吁醫改。
But if trends continue as predicted,
但如果按照預期趨勢繼續發展下去
they will find that most critical hospital care will be provided by new, inexperienced, and sometimes inadequately trained nurses.
他們會發現，最關鍵的醫院護理工作將會由年輕的、經驗不足、有時訓練不足的護士來擔任。
