Case Study: Developing Adult Nursing

The facility my change project has potential impact upon is a teaching hospital which is known for promoting, supporting, and encouraging clinical research and implementing latest evidence-based practice. Erlanger serves as the region's only academic teaching hospital and strives to employ healthcare professionals who are knowledgeable in the latest skill, technique, and evidence based practice (EBP) (Erlanger Health System, 2017). This serves as both a strength and opportunity for the facility. A major strength for the hospital is the support that is has for research and implementation of all change processes. In 2013 the Institute for Clinical Research (EICR), was developed to solidify unity of two objectives, providing patients’ access

It is very important for graduate nurses to fit in to a hospital as this gives them a chance to practice safely and effectively. For a New Graduate Nurse (NGN), fitting-in is about establishing secure and meaningful social bonds with ward staff (Rush, Adamack, Gordon, and Janke, 2014, p. 222). Fitting in, or the wish to fit in with ward staff is one of central piont of NGN transition experiences; it gives the NGN a feeling that they are a part of a social group with common goals, common experiences and a shared culture (Tingleff and Gildberg, 2014, p. 537). Success for the New Graduate Nurse would depend on how fast they establish friendly relationships and a sense of belonging. Hospitals understand the importance of NGN getting used to the

In this assignment I will be discussing Adult Nursing and Mental Health Nursing and issues regarding consent. Consent is important within all fields of nursing as it is essential to conduct any medical procedures. The Nursing and Midwifery Council Code of Conduct (NMC,2008) states that all healthcare professionals must presume that all patients have the mental capacity to accept or deny medical treatments after being given all information which may be needed. However there may be some instances where consent cannot be obtained. An example of this is if the patient is in a medical emergency and may be unconscious or if the patient lacks the mental capacity to make a knowledgeable choice. In this situation treatment would be

Advance practice registered nurses (APRNs) play a critical and prominent role in the management of patients’ health and wellness in the United States. Historically, there have been no clear definitions of APRN roles, varied legal recognition of APRNs across states, and a lack of standardization in education of APRNs. Further, even with our ever-growing presence, there remains a knowledge deficit of the APRN role amongst the public and even healthcare professionals. In order to address these concerns, improve patient safety, and support and encourage APRN practice to the maximum extent of their degrees, the NCSBN APRN Advisory Committee and the APRN Consensus Work Group was formed. In 2008, they published the consensus model

With the solid foundation and established nursing practice, the aftermath of war halted the progression of the nursing profession. As Orsolini (2009) stated, many of the women who served exceptionally during the war came home and rebuilt their lives with their families. With the shortage of nurses to keep up with the economic progress, nursing tasks were assigned to untrained people, as mentioned by Orsolini (2009). In an effort to regain the nursing status to its professional level, in 1965, American Nurses Association (ANA) and the National League of Nursing (NLN) proposed that the baccalaureate degree be the minimum entry level of nursing. By 1970, the pursuit for a higher education and a change

Nursing is the commitment to facilitate patient-centered care to maintain and achieve optimal health. Virginia Henderson accurately defines nurses’ integration of patients’ autonomy into care plans and assisting patients in activities to regain their independence. An ever-changing multidisciplinary team profession, an unyielding pledge to continuous education enables nurses to use the newest evidence-based practices for more efficient care. The underpinning and forerunner of patient care, nursing is representing patients, families, populations and communities through limitless advocacy.

5 years ago I went to London to visit my grandfather who was terminally ill. Even though he passed away 1 year after but he was lucky enough to have the best quality of care within the time being. For as long as I can remember I have always appreciated how nurses take care of each individual. Nursing is a profession I have always looked upon with respect.

The National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) is creating a better future for the public that involves improvements in healthcare and reduce on set of illnesses. The nature of Nursing brings research to the fore front of healthcare, because nurses learn the value of trends and trials of the past. NINR will contribute to creating a better future for People with holistic factors. NINR has a specific focus and on caregivers of Alzheimer patients and neonates that will benefit a large population of Americans whose focus is not on their health, but the health of their loved one. To understand the challenges that caregivers face would be closely associated with nurses and the duties that are expected and given without consideration to the

Mary was seen today following a repeat chest x-ray, which reassuringly shows almost complete resolution of the effusion with just some mild pleural thickening seen in the right base, which is a reaction to the parapneumonic effusion.

B.Hooper was non-compliance on 7-26-15 she would repeatedly leave her assign sleeping area, wanting to see the nurse, B.Hooper claimed that she had permission to check her blood pressure anytime she needed to.

Throughout history, society has considered women to be the natural caregivers of children, family, and community. Women were naturally thought of as nurses because the act was said to be an extension of their role in the home. They were called in to homes to help deliver babies or as wet nurses to breastfeed. In the 1800’s, women began taking care of soldiers. It was then that Florence Nightingale cared for soldiers in the Crimean War. During this time she revolutionized the role by setting standards of cleanliness and reducing infection. The legacy of nursing continues to be enriched by those who continue to follow the example of nursing pioneers. They refuse to be bound by others’ views

Adult nursing is a lifelong learning career which I have been drawn to since I was young. My mum is a registered nurse and I’ve always admired what she’s done. I would like to apply for this course as I want to help, not only emotionally but medically. I think that these two approaches have to go hand in hand when dealing with patients in care. It is an extremely challenging and demanding career that can be rewarding and satisfying. I am very attracted to the profession as I’ve always had an interest in caring for people and be keen on the thought of working in a large hospital environment where I can be involved in the hands on medical treatment of patients. Working in a large hospital promises a stimulating work environment and there are

In this Task, I will be analysing, explaining and describing the role of an Adult Nurse. Focusing on the responsibilities, qualities, code of Practice, their Differences between other non – professionals and their negative/positive approach to team work and supervision.

(TS) These days we take our excellent opportunities for medical care for granted, but in some developing countries they don’t have the same privileges. (C) It is very important to me that those in need get the proper health care they deserve, so an important goal of mine would be to provide these nursing services to everyone in third world countries. (E) I would be interested in a nursing internship in these places because many countries in Africa and Central America, for example, don’t have a lot of money for equipment and doctors. Because of the lack of ideal health care, disease and infection spreads easier in these areas, causing more need for hospitals and doctors’ services.

You might think that the United States has the best healthcare system when compared to the other countries, on how much it is spending on the cost of health care, which is more than 17 percent of its economy, but underperforms when it comes to measurable outcomes. Quality of care that the US healthcare is deficient is on patient safety, health prevention, coordination of care, positive patient outcomes and access to care (Obama, 2016). The practice change that I will cover in my paper is the nursing’s role in Accountable Care Organization (ACO), and how it relates to the health care reform and in supporting the Institute of Medicine’s (IOM) initiative titled “The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health.”
