Bedside Nursing Speech

I am here to tell you the story of the time i went to hell. No, not the place with the flames and the the big guy with the pitchfork. I am talking about something worse, hospice centers. What is hospice? By definition it is a home that provides healthcare to the ill, and especially the terminally ill. But I in fact know that hospice is actually a real life hell on earth. Hospice is where you go to watch your beloved ones to fade away into nothingness and hearing them begging for death to take the pain away. Sounds awful right? That is because it

Nurse staffing and how it relates to the quality of patient care has been an important issue in the field of nursing for quite some time. This topic has been particularly popular recently due to the fact that there is an increasing age among those who make up the Baby Boomer era in the United States. There will be a greater need for nurse staffing to increase to help accommodate the higher demand of care. Although nursing is “the top occupation in terms of job growth,” there are still nursing shortages among various hospitals across America today. The shortage in nurses heavily weighs on the overall quality of care that each individual patient receives during their hospital stay (Rosseter, 2014).

Raise your hand if you are a parent. To all the parents that raised their hands, think back to the time you and your spouse were in the hospital room anxiously waiting for your unborn child to arrive. How happy were you when the nurse placed your baby into your arms? That feeling of seeing your healthy newborn baby for the first time is unexplainable, but how would you feel if your newborn was born prematurely or had birth defects?

Nursing has been around for hundreds of years. As these years have come about there has been drastic changes

I think you did a thorough job at developing a Clinical Nurse Leader elevator speech that summarizes the CNL role in health care. An elevator pitch main purpose is to “intrigue and inspire a listener to want to hear more of the presenter’s complete proposition in the near future” (Sjodin, 2014, p.3). Your speech is very intriguing and if I didn’t already know about the role, I would want to know about it more in-depth, based on what you told me.One major thing you included in your elevator speech that I admire because it captures an important part of the CNL role is where you state, "Those facilities who have certified CNLs have seen a tremendous reduction in costs and improved patient and staff satisfaction". In this statement you

The US healthcare system is no stranger to nursing shortages. It is a recurring problem we have been faced with for the past seven decades. However, what we will be faced with between now and 2025 is a predicament of far greater proportion than ever encountered before. “Considering the impact this prolonged shortage will have on the USA health care system, nursing and other health-related organizations have even brought their concerns to lawmakers in the central government for immediate consideration” (Janiszewski Goodin 335). This quote is from 2003 and sadly, the state of today’s nursing shortage is still blatantly apparent. Not necessarily because nothing was done back in 2003 to fix it, but

Durning, (2010) tells how nurses are limited in giving quality care due to the number of patients they have on their shift. It also explains the huge difference in the task of caring for a post-partum mother and a patient recovering from a major trauma surgery. When nurses are too busy because they have too many patients to care for, they are more likely to overlook an important change in their patient. This will cause the patient to deteriorate unnecessarily and could potentially result in death (Durning 2010). “Nurses are the main surveillance system in hospitals” (Queensland Nurse, 2010, p.14). If they have too many patients to look after, something is more likely to be missed. There was a study done last year by Nursing Times, that showed the more nurses a hospital had per bed, resulted in fewer patient deaths, and actually lowered the patient’s length of stay (Queensland Nurse, 2010). The state of Victoria in Australia, like California actually has government mandated nurse-to-patient ratios. Since its implementation of the ratios 10 years ago, Victoria’s health system has been made considerably better. There is a safer environment for the patients, the workplace morale is better, and there are less complaints from the public about the quality of care they receive while hospitalized (Holmes, 2010).

The role of nursing has evolved over time and will continue to evolve. Currently, in an effort to keep up with the health care reform and

It has grown from a non-educated nurse to one that has to be even more educated to keep up with the fast changing times with diverse topics and culture differences. It is a constant challenge for physicians and nurses to do their best in the fast changing nursing field. As nurses, we have to be constantly upgrading our education. We can’t expect anything to always be the same and to never change. Register nurses today work as a team, they work every day with physicians, pharmacists, speech and occupational therapists, just to name a few. Since nurses are primarily responsible for direct patient care and coordination, I believe that they should not be these educated on the health care

Medical practices are continuously changing and just like they always say it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks. Nurses find it hard to conform to new practices and stop old habits. To follow both this paragraph and the last one because these two are very closely related and effect one another. They are impacting the shortage so much that if not fixed soon the timeline will shorten and it will two late to fix.

The thought of a nurse with zero medical training sounds terrifying. The nursing profession has been around since the beginning of time, although it has drastically evolved over the years and nursing practice right from the beginning has shaped today’s nursing with history, culture, and language. Nursing history and the current nursing scope has changed significantly alongside with expectations and standards of the role. Evaluating and comparing the evolving nursing standards from 1900s to today, one must understand the history of nursing first. This essay will explore the timeline of history and today’s nursing practice, medical supplies then and now, and how the role itself has evolved. Exploring the timeline of nursing and comparing the

I hope you’re good, I was wondering if I could trouble you again to assist me with another Ride along for another new nurse member Christopher Camilleri (34889). The first nurse that did the Ride along, Sandy Foster, spoke very highly of 22 Division and her experience and I suspect it has a very positive influence on the other new member. When I asked the new nurse member, Christopher Camilleri to pick a Division for his Ride along he also mentioned 22 Division. This exercise is quite beneficial to the member as it will allow him to get a better understanding of the Police Duties, as long as it does not disturb your daily operations. I realize this is the second time in a short period of time…

Nursing education has progressed throughout history from one of uneducated lay persons to the current standards we know today. As the career has progressed it has become apparent that there is a need for a skilled labor forced trained to deal with the sick and dying, “the provision of nursing care by American women…demonstrated the effectiveness of skilled nursing on improving outcomes for sick and injured soldiers” (Creasia & Friberg, 2011, p. 4). However, as the career progresses so does the need for more specialized training amongst nurses to help them deal with the changing atmosphere of patient care. The future

When asked all that has changed since she herself had graduated from nursing school she pointed out a few different things. “There has been a definite shift in nursing seeking autonomy” (Rowden, 2016). When Rowden first started nursing it was less common to see Nurse Practitioners like she herself will be. She also pointed out that the freedom they had back then was limited. In the actual hospital it is now required that you that you have a BSN to work there especially in the ICU. Although you can still find a few nurses in the hospital that do not obtain a BSN, but an associate degree RN, these people are grandfathered in. All though Rowden did not graduate from nursing school too long ago there still has been some changes which just shows
