Neonatal Nursing Case Study

The aim of this study is to provide a detailed account of the nursing care for a patient who is experiencing a breakdown in health. One aspect of their care will be discussed in relation to the nursing process. The model used to provide an individualised programme of care will be discussed and critically analysed.

As an aspiring Neonatal Nurse Practitioner, I will graduate from UNCG with my BSN, work for a year as an RN, and eventually attend a graduate school to accomplish my ultimate goal of obtaining my DNP. As a neonatal nurse practitioner, it is imperative to exude compassion, while demonstrating critical thinking skills when faced with arduous circumstances. I understand that working with distressed families in the NICU will be a challenging task, both emotionally and physically. I am aware that it is my responsibility as a nurse to not only know how to provide physical care to my patient's, but to also attend to their emotional needs and the needs of their loved ones. Nurses are expected to be the liaison between families and doctors. So, in the

Neonatal nurse practitioners work under the physician to provide special care to infants that are seriously ill. A NNP “orders labs, administers medications, diagnoses conditions and preforms invasive surgeries under the supervision of a doctor” (Neonatal Nurse Practitioner | What is a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner?). Many will even take over large loads of patients when hospitals have a shortage of qualified nurses. Neonatal nurse practitioners

From an adolescent, the fate of the career had already been chosen into healthcare and was also inspired by several family members. Now, as a young adult, the pathway chosen is to be a Neonatal nurse, “Although neonatal nurses are skilled to care for healthy newborns, it is the neonatal nurse practitioner who is skilled in providing care for newborns in need of specialized attention.” (How to become a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner N.p, N.d.) The love of babies came from babysitting and having younger cousins, so this was the best fit. After knowing the direction to take for the future, with God leading the way, the number one job is to become a Neonatal nurse practitioner. The steps to get to this position is to learn the ends and outs of the career pathway, skills and knowledge and also the advantages and

Ever since I was about 10, I was extremely interested in becoming a neonatal nurse practitioner. I love babies and love helping others so I figured this particular job could be perfect for me. A neonatal nurse practitioner means you provide care for newborns in need of specialized attention for about the first month of their life. These newborns are usually premature or very sick and the nurse practitioners are usually their primary caregiver. NNP’s are responsible for their patients, exercising judgment when necessary to assess, diagnose, and initiate medical procedures. Many tasks include monitoring specialized equipment, including incubators and ventilators. Providing education and support to patients’ families regarding neonatal, intensive

I am interested in pursuing a career in nursing. A career that really interests me is a neonatal intensive care nurse. This is a type of nurse that works in a neonatal intensive care unit. These nurses often work with infants who were born prematurely, born with birth defects, or infants who are having critical complications during the first month after birth. Infants in the neonatal intensive care unit require constant monitoring and are often being treated for life threatening diseases. According to The National Association of Neonatal Nurses (NANN) approximately 40,000 infants are born each year in the United States needing specialized NICU care. NICU nurses are always present when a baby is being delivered so they can provide immediate

As my days at East Ridge High School are coming to an end I, as well as many of my peers, have come to a very important fork in the road to our future- Where do I go next? When I ask myself this I have to answer with another question, Where can I attend school that will allow me to further my education and fulfill my dreams while simultaneously maintaining the consistent love and support of my family as well as remaining financially responsible? For me, there is only one answer- Chattanooga State College

Neonatal nurses need a lot of clinical experience, mentorships, and preceptor programs. Training might take anywhere from six weeks to three month to complete depending on how much prior work experience. Before one becomes a neonatal nurse you should work as an advanced practice nurse (APRNs). APRNs can work as neonatal nurse practitioners (NNPs) and neonatal clinical nurse specialists (CNSs). APRNs have specialized knowledge and may provide direct care with patients.

My anticipated careee field after college is to work as a neonatal nurse practitioner. My plan is to go to Coloumbus state university and acquire my nursing degree. To eran a residereed nurse degree you must complete a 4 year degree. Due to taking dual enrollement classes in high school I should finish in less than 3. The I will transfer to Emory University or Berry College to get my nurse practitioner degree in approximately 2-4 years. Becoming a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner a person must have RN licensures and state authority for advanced practice. They must also have 2-4 years of experience in he feild or related area. The applicant must be familiar with advanced concepts, practices and proceedurs within the chosed field. Nurse practitioners

I am interested in becoming a neonatal nurse. Neonatal nursing is a different kind of nursing that is only involved with infants with many different problems such as prematurity, birth defects, surgical problems, infections, or cardiac problems. Even though neonatal is the first month after birth many infants continue to have problems for a couple months, some neonatal nurses care for the infant until they are two years old, others just take care of them until they are discharged, some of the infants that they cared for and helped them survive come visit the nurses with their families to thank them for all they had done for them when they were ill. As a neonatal nurse you face an abundance of responsibilities which they are all equally

I would be honored and enjoy presenting at the conference for the Association of Women's Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses (AWHONN). As a clinician, we base a lot of our unit goals on AWHONN’s guidelines. For example, we are focusing on postpartum hemorrhage education for all of our

As a nurse I have always found myself reluctant to work in the mother/baby unit; yet, in the last few weeks I have had an exceptional experience in the post-partum unit at Rio Grande Regional Hospital leaving me with great interest to pursue a role as a postpartum nurse. This has come with the support of several preceptors and the exceptional mission and values held by Rio Grande Regional Hospital and its staff. I have earned confidence and knowledge as well as comfort in this field of nursing. I have found this experience to be both rewarding and experiential as Rio Grande Regional Hospital and its staff ensured that my experience in their facility was fulfilling. For this paper, an analysis of the designated facility will be outlined.

Introduction Nurses are responsible for a significant portion of clinical decisions made within the hospital setting and their ability to clinically reason and make educated choices is vital to patient safety and outcomes (Gillies, 2013). This essay will present a case study of a clinical decision made by a third year nursing student working in the Emergency Department (ED) of a Gold Coast Hospital, using the first seven steps of the Levett-Jones et al. , (2010) clinical reasoning cycle. Factors influencing her methods will be taken into account, and the essay will draw from current literature to rationalise and support claims. Background to the Case Study

After reading this week’s assigned readings in regards to nursing excellence, I will choose two of the organizations and discuss the purpose of each organization. I will also discuss how each organization impacts nursing practice, the role they play in nursing education and research, and whether or not I would support each organization as a nurse. After discussing and presenting these issues, I will end this discussion post with a conclusion.

Nurses working within the neonatal unit require a particular set of skills to adequately fulfil their roles and responsibilities within this fragile setting. The role of a neonatal nurse is to provide intensive nursing care to an infant who has inherited complications at birth due to varied reasons (Tubs-Colley, Pickler, Younger, & Mark, 2015). These complications often manifest as undeveloped internal organs that make simple bodily functions such as breathing and regulating body temperature incredibly difficult. The neonatal nurse provides close monitoring and extremely individualized care per patient to stabilise and further develop these body systems artificially post-uterine (Drozdowicz & Dillard, 2014).
