Lpns Work In Nursing Care Case Study

While reflecting back on the previous weeks, I have to say that this was the foundational class for the FNP students. Before this class, I used to think how I am going to fulfill the role of a Nurse Practitioner (NP). This class helped me to better understand my role and gave me the confidence that I can fulfill the role of an NP. Today, when I look at myself, I know I am in the stage of advanced beginner in Patricia Benner’s Novice to expert theory. The case studies in the discussion threads really put me in the real world of practical nursing as an NP fulfilling the role of a provider. Thorough the case studies, I have learned how to make a best differential diagnosis based on the patients presenting symptoms. The interaction and sharing

As a Nurse Practitioner, working in an underserved community, most of the patients I see live in community housing also known as the projects. Some are heavy drug users, while others are at high risks for contracting different STDS due to having unprotected sex with many partners. Many of the patients lack health education and are not aware of their health issues. One common issue that is brought up during their appointments is the lack of communication by the health provider, many often complain that the doctor did not thoroughly explain their illness to them in way that they can comprehend. Other patients have also expressed their dislike for some practitioners because the care seems rushed and they sometime disregard their concerns. In order

My new role as an adult/gerontology nurse practitioner (AGNP), will be part of team that provides care for Long-term acute care LTAC, Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNF), or Rehabilitation hospital. After gaining considerable experience, my focus in future will be working in home healthcare and primary care clinics. My scenario will involve an organization that provides innovative, collaborative, health care team for one hundred bed LTAC Hospital. Working as an LTAC registered nurse, I noted that, despite the variety of diagnosis, majority of patients’ presents to LTAC hospital have wounds that require complex wound care management. The wounds can range from pressure ulcers to non-healing illness/injury wounds such as diabetic foot ulcer, venous leg ulcers, and post-surgical wounds among others. For this assignment, my scenario will focus on the role of Nurse Practitioner (NP) on skin care and wound managements.

There are many professional practice issues that impact the role of the Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP). This occupation is continually changing and developing. There has been a recent increase in the demand for healthcare services. The growing shortage of primary healthcare providers has led to the need to utilize advanced practice nurses to fill in the gap in areas previously occupied by physicians. This has led to many issues impacting the profession including education, stress and burnout, and changing roles/scope of practice for the profession.

He has now presented to the clinic of Nurse Practitioner (NP) with chief complains of worsening left-sided headache, photophobia, unequal pupillary reaction, and dysphasia. Mr. Mustard takes Coumadin to lower the risk of stroke due to atrial fibrillation.

Margaret Fitzgerald once said, "Welcome to the best job on earth!". Mrs Fitzgerald was a former Nurse Practitioner and is now the Founder, and President of Fitzgerald Health Education Associates (Fitzgerald).

The road of a Nurse Practitioner has multiple educational stages including organizations that help the students interested in this field. These professional organizations have played a huge role in supporting their members and the institution they work for. For instance, these organizations use a variety of activities such as communication, education, recognition, advocacy, and research to develop a sense of leadership while making the students able to make decisions that will improve the quality of the healthcare practice. There are many organizations that work on the growth and quality of the healthcare service, however, the following not only are on the top of the list but they also are specifically dedicated to the role of a Nurse Practitioner.

The National Council of State Board of Nursing (NCSBN) is a governmental body mandated to regulate nursing practice in various states in the United States of America. Each state has its own regulatory rules that must be adhered to by every practicing nurse in the concerned region. Depending on the location of the Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN), the NCSBN subdivides nursing practice regulations into three different classes: full practice, partial practice, and restricted practice. Therefore, it is of the essence to examine the nature of practice in different states before an APRN begins training. This paper will take a detailed look at the state of nursing practice in Texas and Arizona. Apart
