About the Nursing Community
My name is Ashley Smith. I am currently studying to become a nurse. The nursing discourse community is part of the larger medical discourse community discussed early. It is made up of a group of nurses that use the same terminology and share a general knowledge about the medical field. More specifically, I am responsible for keeping patients comfortable and informed of their progress. We work closely with other members of the medical discourse community such as physicians,
surgeons, physical therapists and others. For example, the physician’s assistant might inform me of their progress, and it is then my job to go explain it all to the patient. If the pharmacist gets a prescription, he/she usually will make it my job to explain all the details about the medicine, such as when to take it, how to take it and so on. Nurses can also give medicine, start IV’s, talk with family members, feed patients, etc.
