Elevator Speech That Summarizes The CNL Role In Health Care

“Nurses are more than caregivers in today’s healthcare settings. They are teachers, advocates and pioneers in improving healthcare. They are stepping out of the old model and taking ownership for changes in healthcare. Nurses are developing their own scientific research programs to improve patient care. They are playing a pivotal role in healthcare reform. Nurses are becoming leaders, not followers in healthcare reform.”

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?

I have worked in every area of the hospital and nursing homes in my nineteen years of clinical practice as a nurse. I have excelled and enjoyed the care that I have provided over the years. I have been a charge nurse wherever I have worked and enjoyed brainstorming and critically thinking through what needed to be done for a patient when they were not doing well. I have prevented many code blues and have been a preceptor to many excellent nurses.

I believed in your mission statement, especially, this part, “dedicated to provide high-quality, accessible medical care to underserved communities, regardless of their inability to pay.” I also believed that community health nursing is one of the best ways to reach the most vulnerable and under-served in our society. The reason why I decided to go back to school to become a nurse practitioner was based on my community health care experiences from volunteering in a community based family clinic that served low-come population and doing my community hours during my BSN program. The lack of health literacy that I saw firsthand that exist in underserved population about the importance of preventive care, vaccinations, and chronic illness management

Hello, Sheeneeka Freeman, I have had the pleasure of working with you in other classes here before. I look forward to working with you again this class. I hope we can both get a lot out of this course. If you don’t mind, I would like to hear more about how it is to be a Medical office specialist. I wish you luck on becoming a great medical assistant.

On November 1st, 2016 I had the opportunity to conduct an interview with Katherine M. Sawyer RN, BSN of Owosso, Michigan. Katherine, a female nurse who has worked in the nursing field for thirty-six years began her nursing career at Ingham Medical where she was a full-time staff-nurse for three years; then worked as a per-diem staff-nurse for eleven years. After working at Ingham for a total of fourteen years, Katherine obtained a position at Memorial Healthcare in Owosso where she worked as a nurse educator for fifteen years. Shortly after this she became a Basic Life Saving (BLS) instructor as her main role as a nurse educator was to provide nursing orientation and this additional role fit in perfectly. After some time she became involved in Quality Improvement for four years, and she has now switched back to the nurse educator role where she once again has the role of nursing orientation for Registered Nurses (RNs), Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs), and Patient Care Techs (PCTs). The number of staff she teaches and orientates each month varies between one and ten individuals. She also teaches BLS and First Aid at Baker College of Owosso. Her contact information is as follows: Phone number (989) 413-1974 and e-mail address kmsawyer521@gmail.com. The purpose of this paper is to inform the reader of Sawyer’s role in the nursing profession as a nurse leader. Individuals will learn of Sawyer’s many different roles, responsibilities, and the organizational structure of Memorial

The position of Clinical Nurse Leader (CNL) was designed specifically to address poor patient outcomes, including death and misdiagnoses, at significant numbers of health facilities. According to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, in 1999, fewer people were enrolling in baccalaureate nursing programs, and the Institute of Medicine was very concerned with the high numbers of medical errors being reported, and overall patient safety. In 2007, the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN), the Department of Veteran Affairs (DVA), and other organizations, put forward the proposal of adding a clinical nurse leader position into the nursing profession, its first new nursing position in 35

L.P., a currently practicing NP, was interviewed in an attempt to explore her thoughts on issue and possible solutions affecting NPs. L.P. started her education with a bachelor’s degree in education. She later returned to school to receive her registered nurse (RN) license and gained experience working in several hospital departments for over 20 years. During this time she worked on completing a master’s in healthcare administration and wellness promotion. She later returned to Drexel to complete her bachelor’s and master’s in nursing to work as a Family Practice NP. She has been practicing as an NP for five years, with her start in a physician practice and is currently working in the

I reviewed the text and the video. I was impressed by many points made in them. I liked that they paired each competency with a set of knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to perform the job the best possible way and meet the goal to improve the quality and safety of the healthcare systems (http://qsen.org/about-qsen/project-overview/). That way if there is insufficiency in one or another category, it can be addressed in timely manner and positive changes implemented. It is also great that they implemented the new knowledge first in the nursing schools, so that the new nurses start on the “right track” and be trained properly in the innovative ways of care. It is also great that the school were given the opportunity and the place (QSEN.org) to exchange experiences and suggestions for teaching and improving the program.

I agree with you the nurse that is seeking to implement a change must be able to reach across to all stakeholders. These stakeholders come from different walks of life and the challenge here will be knowing their educational background in order to deliver a message that is not intricate to grasp. You have to also remember that people remember only 10 percent what they read, but they remember 40 percent what they hear and see. Thank you for you thoughts.

Nurses are increasingly becoming the strong leadership in developing all aspects of health care policy and decisions. Unfortunately the shared consensus is that most nurses do not possess leadership skills adequate enough to keep up with the ever-evolving field. The IOM reports on this by stating: “Nurses at all levels need strong leadership skills to contribute to patient safety and quality of care.” (IOM, 2010 pp.223) It is felt that nurses are depicted as people who carry out

The CNL provides direct clinical leadership at point of care in order to advance care delivery that is safe, evidence based and targeted towards optimal quality outcomes. The CNL education is focused on analyzing the microstructure to improve patient outcomes, streamline processes and facilitate cost reduction therefore I see the CNL benefiting 4S/3S/ACE as a point of care leader wh focuses on nursing quality indicators, JCAHO standards/initiatives, as well as organizational goals.

I would like to start by taking this opportunity to thank the WCCCD SNA and staff for allowing me to attend this year’s NSNA Mid-Year Conference. It was a wonderful experience, and it made me even more elated for my future career as a nurse. I greatly appreciate the opportunity to meet fellow nursing students and prospective employers and educators. I was impressed by the NSNA’s display of professionalism, organization and how they met the standards of the Code of Conduct established by the Board of Directors.

It’s truly a blessing to be a part of such a great profession. Where you are lifted up by your fellow nurses during times of happiness and distress. Working as a licensed practical nurse has allowed me the opportunity to impact patients’ lives in positive ways. When people enter my health care facility for care, they have certain expectations, they are not always at their best and need the best level of care to help them achieve their prior level of function. After nine and a half years of working as a licensed practical nurse, I decided that it was time to pursue a RN degree. Although, I have enjoyed my career as a LPN I understand that the scope of it is not as wide as that of an RN. I am choosing the pursue an RN because I want to not only enrich my life but I also want to provide a higher quality of care for my

I'm amazed by the clear majority of “successful” people who overcame adversity and hardship. How do we react to ours? Do we crumble like cookies under the thought of a challenge and avoid them.. or do we conquer challenges and own them? Well, I say, it's up to us. All this [stress] plays into a huge feedback loop that can determine health, happiness, and ultimately our "success". For better or for worse. Why did patients in our readings have such different personal narratives of illness from what seemed to be very similar and even in the same biomedical causes of illnesses? These questions highlight the view that there is a deeper transcending non-biomedical cause of illness, which then, effects outcomes of treatment and healing. I believe an attitude of resilience fostered through experience, plays a huge role in how people react to their illness which then affects how one responds to treatment/therapy. How is it that some people in life have suffered so much and at the end of the day, sometimes after years. not only remain intact mentally, but thrive in the world and carry on with their lives, despite their condition(s) and exposure to trauma. Against all the odds. Through personal experience and evidence presented in the readings. I will persuade you to understand why I feel humans may respond so differently; to treatment and the processes of healing. I don’t expect you to agree with everything I say, you are entitled to that. I only expect that you acknowledge that the
