I studied to be a nurse in England and finally came to the United States. After several years of working in hospitals in the country, I noticed some differences in the nursing practice between Britain and the US.
    A nurse licensed in Britain may practice anywhere in the country and in some foreign countries,[23]but in the United States, the nurse must apply in every state where she hopes to work.
    In Britain, a nurse is a highly respected, devoted woman, or occasionally man with a vast amount of responsibility. The patients have great belief in her judgment and advice. The doctor relies on her reports and seldom interferes in a nursing duty. What’s more, the nurse is always consulted about the patient’s requirements and his progress. And the nurse is a member of the health team who sees the patient most frequently. So to the patient, she is the most familiar person in the strange hospital world.
    But in the United States, the patient is likely to be under the care of the same doctor in and out of the hospital. So the doctor is the person the patient knows best and the one he trusts most easily.[25]Although the patient’s treatment and care are discussed with the nurse, a nurse is not allowed much freedom to advise a patient. But I myself found nursing practice easier in the US. I didn’t need to write several charges or care for the needs of the patient. Medicines were always kept at hand, and all charges were met by "National Health". And the patient didn’t have much anxiety and so was more easily cared for while he was in hospital.
