Off Going Nursing Case Study

Nursing has always been a popular career, and nurses work in a variety of settings. Most nurses have a bachelor's degree, but many nurses also have a master's degree. Nurses have several responsibilities. When you become a nurse, you are responsible for your patient's well-being and safety. You will have to care for chronically ill patients. Nurses work in a variety of health care settings.

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.

1. The nurse is asked to implement a new, complex, and invasive procedure and is concerned that this may violate the state’s nurse practice act.

I have decided to reflect upon the first time I did a nursing handover. In accordance with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (2004) Code of professional conduct, confidentiality shall be maintained and the patient’s name is changed to protect indentity.

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

This paper explores five articles that report the problem of shortage in staffing in hospitals across the United States and support travel nursing as the solution. Travel nursing is the quickest, most beneficial, and long lasting solution. A travel nurse is a registered nurse (RN) who is employed by an agency, has experience, and travels to hospitals across the country. Travel nurses are then hired by a hospital through the agency and contract for a selected amount of time to temporarily fill in for any staff. A contract usually lasts 6 to 13 weeks and covers any expenses during the travel. Travel nurses differ from other nurses for several reasons but mainly the hiring process and workload they have. This paper expands the knowledge of a hospital

I was assigned the first scenario (Lydia) for this week's discussion. I contacted Deborah Funk via telephone. I explained the scenario to her and she explained to me why it is I am having such a difficult time answering this question after reviewing the Nurse Practice Act and the section that governs the scope of Practice for APRN's in Missouri. She explained that the Missouri State Board of Nursing and the Nurse Practice Act will be the least restrictive on the scope of practice for APRN's. The organizations and the institutions of employment along with the Joint Commission will be the most restrictive when it comes to the scope of practice for APRN's (D. Funk, personal communication, July 14, 2015). I was unable to find an age range

The purpose of this study was to identify and describe the structures, processes, and perceptions of the outcomes of bedside handovers in nursing practice.

Involvement versus distance with the nurse-patient relationship is one implication I would like to discuss. I would consider myself to be a “too involved” nurse. Benner (2001) states, “I hypothesized that being involved, these nurses were more fully able to draw on their own coping resources and the resources offered by the patient, family, and the situation” (p. 164). I also know and have worked with many nurses who are more of a “distanced” nurse. These nurses purposely keep a distant nurse-patient relationship. Benner (2001) states a, “distanced observer is less likely to notice subtle changes in patients” (p. 164). I also believe a distance nurse who does not take the time to know their patient is not always the best advocate for the patient.

The symbolic frame focuses on how humans make sense of the chaotic, ambiguous world in which they live (Bolman & Deal, 2013, p. 244). Plans have to be established and sought out by members of the organizations. In the case study the, Dean Creates a New Normal, the Clinical Nursing Office (CNO), was one of the office affected by the restructure. It was created to help internship, students during their final year in the Nursing program. Changes to restructure of the office made this impossible. According, to Bolman & Deal, (2013), Meyer and Rowan (1983a) argue that technical organizations plan in order to change, whereas institutionalized organizations plan instead of changing (p.288). The Dean decides to restructure the College’s support

I want to become a traveling nurse when I graduate and gain enough experience so in doing so I hope to gain the knowledge and learn about the fast pace environment or helping work with critically ill patients. I want to become more comfortable than I am now in working with critically ill patients and learn what to do next if something happens.
