Lillian: I’d like to become a nurse like you. I would have a great bedside manner.
莉莲:我想成为像你一样的护士。我会对病患非常友善。
Amos: It’s a difficult job, but I like it. I’m a registered nurse, but there are a lot of different types of nurses. If you’re willing to get an advanced degree, you could become a clinical nurse specialist or a nurse practitioner.
亚摩斯:这份工作虽然不易,但是我喜欢。我是一名注册护士,还有其他不同种类的护士。如果你能考取更高级的学位,你就可以成为临床护理专家或执业护士。
Lillian: I don’t think I want to spend a lot of time in school.
莉莲:我可不想将大把的时间浪费在学校里。
Amos: Then you just need a little more training after your bachelor’s degree. You can be a registered nurse, licensed practical nurse, emergency room nurse, operating room nurse, critical care or intensive care nurse, or a home care nurse.
亚摩斯:获得学士学位后你只需要接受一段时间的培训即可。你可以选择成为一名注册护士,持照实习护士,急诊护士,手术室护士,急救护理或重症监护护士及家庭护理护士。
Lillian: Well, I dropped out of college. I just couldn’t hack it.
莉莲:我大学的时候辍学了。我就是读不下去了。
Amos: Hmm, then you might want to consider becoming a certified nursing assistant. You’ll still need to go through a training program, though, and to become certified.
亚摩斯:嗯,之后你可能想要考虑成为注册护士助理。要想获得认证,你仍然需要经历一个培训过程。
Lillian: That still sounds like a lot of studying.
莉莲:听起来还是得努力学习。
Amos: You do want to work in nursing, don’t you?
亚摩斯:你确实想当护士,对吧?
Lillian: I do, but I thought all I’d have to do is serve meals, talk to the patients, and make them comfortable. That’s what they do on TV.
莉莲:是的,但我以为只需要端茶倒水,陪病人聊天,让他们放松。电视里都是这么演的。
Amos: Then my advice to you is to become an actor and play a nurse on TV. I think that might be the closest you’re going to get to the nursing profession.
亚摩斯:那么我只能建议你当演员或在影视中扮演护士。我觉得这才是你接近护理专业最便捷的途径。
