Abstract

This study will be a great help to the incoming students of nursing who are seeking information about the different fields of nursing. This also emphasized on the purpose of determining and identifying the difference between private hospital nursing and military hospital nursing in terms of the nurses roles and responsibilities, area of practice, nurses privileges, and the common problems encountered regarding the hospital, patients and self. Based from the obtaining data, the researchers found out that there is a difference between private hospital nursing and military hospital nursing in terms of roles and responsibilities of the nurses in a way that obligations of the military hospital nurses continue even after duty hours. Anytime that they are called, they have to respond to the call of duty. With regards to the area of practice still there is a difference. In a military hospital, nurses are under one unit in which they receive their respective assignments which includes the military hospital where they would be assigned to work. It is the responsibility of the nurses to obey no matter how near or far the hospital is. Nurses' privileges also showed some differences between these two fields of nursing military hospital nurses are more privileged because aside from the privileges and benifits given to the nurses, they could also avail of the privileges and benifits given to an officer, that goes on with their ranks. There is a difference with regards to the common problems encountered by the nurses, although it was expected to have lots of similarities. The researchers found out that private hospital nurses usually experience lack or insufficient salary, demanding patients, lack of finance of the patients, lack of time for the family and friends as well as lesser time for extracurricular activities, and the demands of time and work, which the military hospital nurses seldom experience. This is so because military hospital nurses seldom experience. This is so because military hospital nurses were already oriented and trained as an officer and as a nurse at the same time. After a long period of conducting this study regarding the differences between private hospital nursing and military hospital nursing, the researchers fields of nursing in terms of the nurses' roles and responsibilities, area of practice, nurses' privileges, and the common problems encountered regarding the hospital, patients, and self, and therefore, rejecting the hypothesis that was previously drawn.
