Doctor Of Nursing Practice Program

The American Association of Colleges for Nurses [AACN], (2006) in 'The Essentials of Doctoral Education for Advanced Nursing Practice ' Essential II: Organizational and Systems Leadership for Quality Improvement and Systems Thinking, affirms "advanced nursing practice (APN) includes an organizational and systems leadership component that emphasizes practice, ongoing improvement of health outcomes, and ensuring patient safety. APNs should be prepared with sophisticated expertise in assessing organizations, identifying systems’ issues, and facilitating organization-wide changes in practice delivery". (p.10) Hameric, Hanson, and Tracy ( 2014) indicates that APN must assess the clinical microsystems in which they perform nursing practices, have knowledge of the medical organizations that impact their specialties, assist with establishing patient centered care reforms to enhance quality of nursing care, improve patient safety, and provide nursing indicators that evaluates nursing performance. (p.266) APNs perform leadership capabilities in four chief areas including clinical practice settings, in the nursing career, within organizations, and in healthcare politics at regional and national levels. (Hameric et al, 2014, p. 266)

In the article written by Ford, (2009), the doctorate of nursing practice (DNP) has an important role to play in the current health care system which is constantly changing. As healthcare around the world is transforming, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) 2011 report mentioned that in the United States, Advanced practice nurses play a vital role in the rapid complex changes based on the full extent of their education and training. This article describes some of the positive role of the advance practice Nurse as a facilitator in the regulatory and policy developments. The Advance practice nurse participates and provide cost-effective care models that will improve the access and quality of care of the population. Another positive area for the APN in this current healthcare system is health promotion, health maintenance, and prevention. In this evolving health care system, it gives the Advance practice nurse the opportunity to set up acute and primary care settings that will positively impact health care delivery as they meet the needs of an expanding, aging, and chronically ill population. All over the world, the NP’s role has developed and is beneficial to health care systems and health care consumers. As Advance practice nurses we must use this great opportunity to advance our role and work with others to improve and transform health care globally. DNP graduate 's role is include leadership, research, practice, education, and

The publication from the institute of medicine has garnered much interest since its publication in 2010 focusing on the future of nursing and the implementation of this with in the nursing community. The nursing profession has over 3 million members and is the largest segment of the nation’s health care workforce. Working on the front lines of patient care, nurses can play a vital role in helping realize the objectives set forth in the 2010 IOM (Institute of Medicine). One of the recommendations is that of a nurse residency program for new nurses or nurses transitioning into new clinical practice areas. The area I work in is home health and this is a growth area the need for a residency program cannot be over stated home

Since the capstone project started early on beginning of the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program, I was able to discuss and work personally with Dr. Spicer as my practice mentor in selecting the appropriate topic for my project. Dr. Spicer was very involved in choosing my second option for new capstone project # 1 related to simulation lab and faculty teaching and learning. The patient simulation laboratory (SIM lab) uses state-of-the-art equipment that provides students and faculty with the opportunity to tackle real-life scenarios in a safe and supported environment. Further, I learned that active learning involves the faculty through participation and investment in exploring content knowledge in all phases of the learning process. It requires educational activities that provide faculty with the opportunity to engage actively in courses and respond to the learning situation.

The present healthcare system in the United States (U.S) faces various challenges due to changing demographic, economic and political pressures. The need of primary care provides are increasing as a result of increasing access to healthcare, increasing expenditures, and growing populations of the elderly and chronically ill patients. Even with the plenty of evidences that Nurse Practitioners (NP)are well educated, competent, health care professionals who are able to improve access to high-quality health care and lower health care costs, restrictive practice regulations still exist. The quest for NPs independence practice has surpassed and it became a necessary practice transformation to improve the health of the nation (The National Organization

I am writing to inquire about a nurse practitioner position within your cosmetic practice, and I hope to be invited for an interview.

Currently employed as a Licensed Practical Nurse, I am eager to further my education. I am enrolled as a full-time student at Mt Aloysius College in Cresson, PA majoring in nursing, with plans to continue on to be a Certified Registered Nurse Practitioner in the future. I've been a Licensed Practical Nurse since 2013 and have gained much experience in the field, which has driven my ambition to further my education. My goal is to obtain a Registered Nurse or Certified Registered Nurse Practicioner  position in a well-established organization with a stable and caring environment that will lead to a lasting relationship while maximizing my organizational and quality assurance skill.

Did you know that Nurse Practitioning is the number one populated health care job? With about 2.5 million registered Nurses, the job seems to be the biggest and most demanded job in America. (Frederickson 4) Nursing is a job that consists of helping a wide range of people with a variety of problems. You have to have good skills, knowledge, characteristics and training to become a Nurse Practitioner. Nurses can work in different places such as offices, health care centers, hospitals and several other. It is most likely for licensed nurses to work in hospitals. (Frederickson 94) They can work independently or as a joint team with other Doctors or Nurses. Nurse Practitioners earn a very high salary and earn many benefits. (Maurer 2) Nursing is a job that demands hard work and several years of training, but the reward of helping people and the high pay makes up for it.

A Nurse Practitioner can be defined as the performance of advanced- level nursing actions, with or without compensation and by a licensed registered nurse with advanced education, knowledge and skill.

Today, in the United States there are some people who do not know what a Nurse Practitioner is? Therefore, a Nurse Practioner is a nurse that “is responsible for managing health problems and coordinating health care for the perioperative patient in accordance with State and Federal rules and regulations and the nursing standards of care (assessment of health status, diagnosis, development of plan of care and treatment, implementation of treatment plan, and evaluation of patient status)” (CCI, 2016). To become a Nurse Practioner some nurses must receive a master’s, post-master’s, or a doctorate’s degree including up to 5 years of experience

A little over a year ago I graduated from a small Catholic college in Massachusetts. I have been a registered nurse for just over a year. I am currently in my last month of a new graduate nurse residency program at the hospital I work at. I work in the emergency room, which I absolutely love. Before I became a nurse, I was an emergency room technician for about three and a half years, as I was going through nursing school. Having this position helped me tremendously through nursing school. I was able to apply what we were learning in class to something I had seen at work. I wanted to go to get my master’s degree because I want to be either an adjunct clinical facility or a teacher later on in my career. I decided that this is a good time

The National Center for Health Workforce Analysis estimates that “the supply of nurses will be 29% less than what is needed by the year 2020, based on a projected increase in demand of 40% and only a 6% increase in supply” (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2002). This shortage is due to many factors, one of the most significant being newly graduated nurses leaving their jobs or the profession of nursing all together within the first year of practice after graduating (Harrison, Stewart, Ball, & Bratt, 2007). Some of the most commonly cited reasons for leaving include a feeling of a lack of clinical competence and confidence, a disconnect between what was imagined and the ‘real’ world experience, and a lack of support in the workplace (Chappy, Jambunathan, & Marnocha, 2010).

Nurse Practitioners (NP) are known to generate a large portion of revenue into their practice, but their worth is more than just financial. NPs are valuable contributors to their workforce and bring with them expertise, knowledge, skills, compassionate care, high quality care, and holistic treatment plan to achieve their patient well-being. NPs contribute to the productivity in their practice, which can be measured in their clinical services and an increase in revenue. As stated by Packard (2014), NP’s contributions are at times hidden by coding and billing because of many reimbursement policies, which may bill physicians for services NPs provide.

Obtaining a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree in Anesthesia from the University of Arizona would allow me to fulfill my professional goals of education and service for others. I look forward to the start of a lifetime of professional contributions towards nursing and the greater community through availability, personal insight, and knowledge sharing; these are contributions which I also plan to extend to others who may choose to embark on the journey that I am currently on.

For years people relied on doctors and their medical care; and why would they trust their care to a nurse practitioner or a physician’s assistant. In the current day the nurse practitioners and physicians assistants can perform the same if not better care that a medical doctor. Many doctor offices are employing more nurse practitioners and physicians assistants due to cost and using the medical doctors as the chief for the office. However, nurse practitioners (NP) and physician assistants (PA) are limited in some of their capabilities’ and sadly paid less.
