Nursing Research Paper

Nurse practitioners are advanced practice registered nurses who have received special courses and training. They usually work closely with doctors and can perform many high-level primary care tasks. They often specialize in specific types of practice such as pediatrics, psychiatry, or obstetrics. Some establish private practices; however, most work in doctors' offices, hospitals, or neighborhood health centers. Their duties often include taking detailed medical histories and performing complete physical exams, providing diagnoses and recommending treatment plans, treating common medical conditions, illnesses, and injuries, prescribing limited medications, and counseling patients and families. They also care

The change project involves the implementation of post-discharge calls to monitor patients, hence prevent readmissions. Thus, the hospital needs resources that include personnel, equipment, technology, and travel in some instances. Additionally, Sullivan (2012) argues that employee motivation and continual development helps improve the job performance. As such, the hospital will be required to put additional resources for the purposes of employee motivation and education.

These are real and interesting happenings in the nursing profession. While it is a great opportunity for nurses to lead through advanced education, I have witnessed much abuse of power in the hands of these educated nurses once they were given a leadership, managerial position. Sadly, the task of bedside nursing seems to be disdainful to new nurses as they aim to obtain a higher education to get out of that condition. In our unit, the turnover of nurses happens almost every two years. Most nurses leave to pursue advanced degrees and come back as managers. It is through their leadership when work dissatisfaction happens because the new leaders focus more on the task than their subordinates. Seasoned nurses have been around to observe the

Based off of CK dietary intake report has several concerns per the report on from the USDA SuperTracker. For the macronutrients, carbohydrate was low at only 43% consumed on average for the 3 days. The goal for carbohydrate is about 60%. Along with carbohydrate being low, fiber intake was also low at 18 grams on average consumed (goal 25 grams/day). Fat intake was high at 41%. The goal for fat intake is 20%. In turn, saturated fat intake is also high 14% (goal less than 10%) and cholesterol is greater than 300 mg (goal less than 300mg). For the micronutrients, calcium, potassium, iron, magnesium and choline were all under. Sodium is the only micronutrient that was over. The goal is less than 2,300 mg but intake was 3,215 mg. She is

I can totally relate to your discussion post because I feel Florida is one of the most restrictive places for a nurse practitioner to practice. Nurse practitioners, being highly educated and experienced in the field of nursing, are given prescriptive authority to varying degrees across the United States. According to Sabatino, Pruchnicki, Sevin, Barker, Green and Porter (2017) the extent of a nurse practitioner’s prescriptive authority largely varies by the schedule of the drug in question, with some states allowing a larger degree of prescriptive authority to nurse practitioners and some regulating this prescriptive authority more closely. As of January 2017, the Governor of Florida Rick Scott signed legislation bill

The national league for nurses defines critical thinking in the nursing process as “a discipline specific, reflective reasoning process that guides a nurse in generating, implementing, and evaluating approaches for dealing with client care and professional concerns” (Kozier, 2008). This definition is imperative to help a nursing student learn how to think in terms of nursing care. Nursing students must achieve a comprehensive understanding of critical thinking in order to understand the nursing process. The purpose for this paper is for nursing students to learn how to use the nursing process, how to properly document their findings and assessments, and correctly implement APA formatting in a formal paper.

Being a nurse has been my life-long goal, so I have thought for years about how I can use that knowledge to serve the most vulnerable in our community. With my husband, we have been foster parents to numerous children; all long-term placements, primarily teen-age boys. These kids have often been literally thrown away by their families, and although I know they appreciated having a stable home environment and involved, enthusiastic parents, the truth is that we learned so much more from them. All of these kids were minorities, from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds, all have gone on to complete high school, some on to college, and all are successful members of the community. I currently volunteer in a K-1 classroom, helping the kids that are behind, and doing art, which has often provided an opportunity to identify unmet needs for the child and for the family. This is the motivation for me to look forward to what I can provide as an MSN. It is my hope to set up diabetic screening at Sonoma County's low income secondary schools, creating a fun and interactive program focusing on preventative actions such as exercise, diet, cooking classes that highlight creating delicious, healthy meals

A registered nurse is responsible for holding the keys to a safe or locked cupboard of S8 medications, and also ensuring that the safe or cupboard is locked at all times when not in use. When administering a S8 medication, a registered nurse and/or midwife is required to be involved and included in the removal of the medication from the cupboard, the subsequent checking and recording procedure. Enrolled nurses are not permitted to administer S8 medications but are aloud to be co signed, due to the definition of a nurse (defined as Registered Nurse or Midwife) under the ‘Poisons Regulations 1965 & Poisons Amendment Regulations 2010’. Enrolled nurse can give S4 and the storage cannot be the same key as the S8’s, may be in patient’s

Applying to colleges has to be one of the most difficult and nerve-wracking tasks a high school senior can do. Choosing where to go for the next two or four years of your life can be strenuous. My heart is set on attending the University of Pennsylvania. I visited the campus twice and met with Marianne Smith. She gave me wonderful advice as well as history of the campus, a tour and their requirements for applying. I am immensely interested in applying to the School of Nursing.

Being a nurse and as a duty of care as a medically indorsed enrolled nurse, going through the 5 rights of drug administration before giving medications is crucial and productive in minimising the risks of giving the wrong patient wrong medications.

The nursing profession has been around for a very long time. Through many changes and reforms, it has drastically evolved into the nursing profession we have today. Nurses have an important role within the healthcare industry in the treatment and medical care of the sick. These trusted healthcare professionals continue to make up the largest majority of the healthcare field, as well as the fastest growing occupation. Nursing is a job that allows people to not only care for the sick but also to experience, learn and further their interest in the human body. This course has definitely provided me an insight to the roots of the profession I would like to pursue. I think it is important to know the history of nursing to understand fully on the problems that are affecting the profession. I believe that we cannot effectively address important issues without a foundation of historical knowledge. In other words, by examining the nursing history, I will be able to appreciate my important role as a nurse in the healthcare system. The topics I will be including in my reflection are the works of Florence Nightingale, the affects of World War II, the challenges of Filipinos aspiring to be nurses, and excerpts in Chapter 10 of “A History of American Nursing.”

I decided to take nursing fundamentals (NF) because I feel that it will give me a glimpse into the medical field. I have been interested in the medical field for quite sometime now and I really want to get hands on with it. Although, CNA work isn’t what I want to do I know I have to go through the tough things first. I hope to learn from NF information such as taking vitals and patient care. I want to learn the best way to give someone comfort. I’m hoping NF will give me reassurance that I definitely want to go into a medical career. I expect myself to relate to the patients in a comforting manner and give them good company. I am concerned that I won’t rise to my own expectations which would cause me to perform poorly. I am excited to be hands on with patients and situations.

According to Political and Beck (2014), “In journals that specialize in research (e.g., the journal Nursing Research), most articles are original research reports, but in specialty journals there is usually a mix of research and nonresearch articles. Sometimes you can tell by the title, but sometimes you cannot. You can tell, however, by looking at the major headings of an article. If there is no heading called “Method” or “Research Design” (the section that describes what a researcher did) and no heading called “Findings” or “Results” (the section that describes what a researcher learned), then it is probably not a study” (p. 41).

March 13th, 2011. It was the day I had been dreading, a day I wish I could’ve just pushed away and never had to live through. March 13th marked the day I made the move from Knoxville, Tennessee, to Spring, Texas. I was terrified, anxious about the anticipated move to a separate state. I felt like I belonged in Tennessee, and now I suddenly had to leave all that I knew behind.
