If you graduated nursing school recently and are now practicing, you may think you are up-to-date on the latest technology and medical advances. However, medicine advances faster than we can keep up with. Technology literally evolves daily, and if you don't evolve and embrace what comes your way, you could get left behind. Introductions to New Technology We always seem to have that one person in a group that usually avoids change. They have adopted the “If it's not broke, why fix it?” philosophy. That person can either conform to a new way of thinking, or find another profession. You have to be ready to accept, and embrace new equipment and technology. Consider what it would be like for today's patients if medical personnel had refused to learn and accept laparoscopic surgical techniques. In most cases the introduction of new equipment, or a new way to perform a procedure, is beneficial to the patients, which is reason enough to embrace new ideas.
The International Nurses Association was founded on the idea that professional achievement is deserving of recognition, exposure and reward. As a meeting place for the top minds in nursing, INA offers unlimited opportunities to further your success and embrace your role as a vital member of the medical community.
