ASSESSMENT 1 FIFTIETH ANNUAL ORATION For this assignment I have read a speech by Professor Donna Diers titled 'Finding Nursing'. I found her speech interesting and one that I could relate to. Her speech makes one consider the total concept of nursing. Not as an Art or Science, but what nursing is really about. "Finding nursing" is to understand the human perspective of nursing. The feeling of nursing. Professor Diers is writing from a nursing background, which is evidenced by her educational background. Although she is an American nurse she is also closely involved with nursing in Australia. This lady is known for her "impassioned support of the nurse practitioner and other advanced roles". On reading her background and knowing her deep commitment to nursing I found that I wanted to fully understand her speech and give deep consideration to her opinions. In this speech I believe Professor Diers wants the reader to believe that nursing is a complex role that has to cover many avenues. Nursing is not a career that can be defined as scientific and/or an art. Nursing stands alone with no real definition that would satisfy those that want to put it into a particular 'basket'. Nursing is about "Feeling". On page 4 of the speech Professor Diers states "helping famil(ies) to grieve," on page 5 she mentions Amy and her nurse and we read "feel their pain and their unity" On the same page Professor Diers cites "Nursing puts us in touch with being human". To me to be human is to 'feel'.
