As our healthcare system continues to evolve with the passage and adoption of the Affordable Care Act (Obama Care), new laws and regulations related to medical services reimbursement is also developing. However, disparities continue to exist between medical providers and third-party practitioners such as Advanced Nurse Practitioners(ARNP), leading to a lack of autonomy or independent practice (Woo, & Robinson, 2016). According to (Hain, & Fleck, 2014), many Nurse Practitioners report that payer’s policies have a critical impact in the way they care for patients and negatively reduces their ability practice to their full extent of their clinical expertise and education.

My nurse preceptor today was Patricia. Patricia was an amazing preceptor with an immense amount of knowledge. I enjoyed Patricia’s passion for knowledge. She just finished her DNP. She spoke to me about how she also held two bachelors degrees and a masters in nursing. She was very caring of her patient and showed compassion to not only the patient but the family as well. I don’t think I would have done anything differently because she was a great patient advocate, caring healthcare professional, and great at time management. I was fortunate to have worked with her today in the CICU. We had a 1:1 assignment, a 67 year old male who had a STEMI. Ultimately, he ended up needing an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) to assist his heart. This was placed 8/31.

Mrs. Wilson is seen in her room at Glenbridge Nursing Home on 02/28/2018. She had an episode last night of chest pain. She is so ebullient and distracted that it is hard to get a straight history, it came on when she was asleep but she may been sitting up. She was seen by a nurse, a sat was taken. I am not sure if there were other orders taken, but there is none on the chart. She says that she spent most of this morning in the bed and still feels tired, but she does not think she broke out in a sweat. She was more short of breath. She is calling it is a "stroke." I had tried to begin tapering her diazepam by discontinuing the morning dose and apparently all daytime clorazepate was discontinued by error and she gets it only at night.

I can remember serving in the Air Force as a nurse and working with the chief of nursing. During my training period, things just seemed so difficult and hard for me to grasp under such a stressful environment. The chief of medical was very detail oriented and she would always pushed us to think outside of the box. We would go through different mock code scenarios as if we were out in the battlefield for two weeks. If we did not respond to the level of her expectations, she would make us redo the mock code scenario over again. There were many days in which we felt frustrated, giving up and crying. In the end, we realized that the chief of nursing was just trying to build our character, instill confidence and prepare us for future of being in a war zone.

On 5-Aug-15, at approximately 1750 hours, the writer, SSO D.Eden and S/O R.Herath responded to an overhead for code white in Acute 2, room 212. Upon arrival the officers noticed that the patient was in Acute 3 and was being actively resistant. The clinical staffs from MHSU got physical control of the patient and requested the officers to set up a bed with five point restraints.

During many years the role of school nurse was traditionally viewed as one where the nurse cared for students that were injured, applied bandages and gave out ice bags. Throughout the years the role of the school nurse has evolved into one of leadership and management along with many other duties including traditional roles as mentioned above. The services provided by a school nurse range from assessment and screening to coordinating care for regular students as well as students with special needs. School nursing requires experience and knowledge in school, public, community and emergency health to meet the many needs of school aged children and youth. The school nurse provides many services but the basic services provided include

I hope you are having a wonderful day! I am emailing you in hopes that you could help me put together our final nurse club event of this semester. Dr. Almonte and I spoke together yesterday, as we have had this event in the making for a while now. However, we realized as we were conversing and planning that we need to up our game! It would be extremely helpful and beneficial for each of us nursing students to have the opportunity to connect with a nurse specifically from each duty station that we will be checking into this summer. I am hoping that between you, the other DUINs students, and Dr. Almonte we can find at least one person currently working at or recently (within the last year) at Balboa (you would be a great

The change project involves the implementation of post-discharge calls to monitor patients, hence prevent readmissions. Thus, the hospital needs resources that include personnel, equipment, technology, and travel in some instances. Additionally, Sullivan (2012) argues that employee motivation and continual development helps improve the job performance. As such, the hospital will be required to put additional resources for the purposes of employee motivation and education.

I am responding to your advertisement for Registered Nurse –Position Number 707442 that appeared in jobs.wa.gov.au.

I possess excellent judgement, skill and training needed to respond quickly to the needs of the patients and requests of assistance from colleagues.

I have always been fascinated with the Health Care Industry. That fascination leads me to want to work in the industry, preferably the Nursing Field. I decided I need more information that would be helping me to understand the industry, to see if that is the field I wish to pursue. Therefore, I decide to interview people in the nursing sector. I wasn't sure how I would go about completing this task. But something happened to amaze me, one day when I was coming home from school, I started a conversation with a person a random person. We just started talking about the weather and how the train seems to be taking longer than normal. As we were casually talking about different topics the conversation lead to me going to school and how much I wanted

Assuming the leadership role during this project has been a very beneficial learning experience. It has helped me to grow as an individual and as a professional. According to the American Nurses Association (ANA), standard twelve focuses on leadership which is when, “the registered nurse demonstrates leadership in the professional practice setting and the profession” (ANA, 2010, p. 55). Within this standard there are competencies that define leadership. The three that I am choosing to focus on consist of developing communication, resolving conflict, commitment to lifelong learning, and treating colleagues with respect (ANA, 2010, p. 55). These three competencies relate closely to my growth and development that
