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

I arrived on time in full nursing uniform. I practiced HIPPA when I interviewed SB and his mother by providing privacy in the conference room. Moreover, when I reviewed the immunization records of SB and other children, I followed HIPPA regulations after reviewing their medical records by logging out the computer when I am done reviewing the medical records.

This process paper will evaluate the complex relationship between disease pathophysiology and how it has progressed to the patient’s current state of health. It will include a comprehensive discussion of chronic and acute problems leading to the patient’s hospital admission, a complete description of interrelationships and pathophysiology for all medical diagnoses, a comprehensive discussion of the client’s signs and symptoms and results of all diagnostic studies to the underlying pathophysiology, and a comprehensive listing of all medications ordered at the time of admission with explanations of why each was ordered and identification of the most common side effects which may

The number one priority of the Registered Nurse should be to provide holistic, patient-centred, safe and evidence based care to every patient. Patients who are admitted into hospital or seek healthcare services externally through clinics or the community usually expect to receive the safest and the highest quality of care possible from that facility. Registered Nurses have a major responsibility to ensure that this is achieved. To help guide nurses and other healthcare workers in the right direction, the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia created and enforced the “Registered Nurse Standards for Practice”. These standards aim to assist healthcare practitioners in providing high quality and safe care to every client. The standards also aim to prevent any form of harm or negative consequence to the patient during and after their time in any healthcare facility. This paper will discuss the reportedly increasing issue of elder abuse, the responsibilities of the Registered Nurse and the associated Standards of Practice when faced with a patient or family that is experiencing this type of harm. The standards discussed in this paper will be Standards 2.5, 2.9 and 6.6.

Since 1964, the ANA’s House of Delegates adopted a position “that ANA continue to work toward baccalaureate education as the foundation for professional nursing practice.” (ANA Reaffirms Commitment to BSN for Entry into Practice , 2000) The ANA has reinforced its position whenever challenged or questioned. The ANA’s emphasis on BSN as minimum standard has been debated over the years. Competence of ADN and BSN have proven fairly equal in practice. The medical profession is increasingly technical in its scope. The ANA believes a BSN is able to solve the complex issues of nursing today. BSN also places a nurse on equal footing with other medical professions which have a baccalaureate as minimum standard.

Standard 16 of the American Nurses Association (ANA) Scope and Standards Practice, directs nurse leaders to advocate not only for patients but for all members of our healthcare community. As a discharge planner, I am in a unique position to advocate not only for patients but for caregivers as well. As part of my responsibilities, I participate in daily multi-disciplinary team rounds. The meetings take place so that all disciplines can openly discuss patient care needs. They provide the perfect opportunity for anyone to bring to light problems or concerns.

Question 2: I provide almost all of the care for assigned patients throughout the shift but may not have the same patients from their admission to discharge

The Salary of an RN is about $36.94 per hour, but the work schedule of a nurse is crazy. Nurses never really get a break especially floor nurses. I have talked to quite a few nurses and they have said that since you don’t truly get a break you tend to gain weight do to constantly eating/snacking. The education needed to be a Registered Nurse would be a Bachelor Degree which is a four year process. To be a Registered Nurse or RN you will need no training. On the job you will administer basic health care which is a temporary health coverage program for low-income, uninsured United States citizens or permanent legal residents of Contra Costa County. As an RN you will being giving patients intravenous medications. An intravenous

A brief history of what the American Red Cross does. As one of the nation’s premier humanitarian organizations, the American Red Cross is dedicated to helping people in need throughout the United States and, in association with other Red Cross networks, throughout the world, (The American Red Cross, 2016). They depend on the many generous contributions of time, blood, and money from the American public to support their lifesaving services and programs, (The American Red Cross, 2016). The purpose of this paper is to inform you of the Red Cross’s Mission, give a description of the members, their dues, and benefits.

Another channel I will utilize is the Canadian Nursing Association Journal with a letter to the editor or submission of an article to be published within the magazine.

Nurses do not prescribe medicine, but they administer medication to their patients. When doing so, they use ratios and proportions to help them. The size of the person will help the nurse decide how much, dosage wise, the patient's body can handle without causing risk of serious complications. The ratios and proportions also allow the nurse to know how long the medication will stay in the body of the patient before needing another
