Rns And Emts: A Case Study

While reflecting back on the previous weeks, I have to say that this was the foundational class for the FNP students. Before this class, I used to think how I am going to fulfill the role of a Nurse Practitioner (NP). This class helped me to better understand my role and gave me the confidence that I can fulfill the role of an NP. Today, when I look at myself, I know I am in the stage of advanced beginner in Patricia Benner’s Novice to expert theory. The case studies in the discussion threads really put me in the real world of practical nursing as an NP fulfilling the role of a provider. Thorough the case studies, I have learned how to make a best differential diagnosis based on the patients presenting symptoms. The interaction and sharing

There were a few opportunities that I was lucky enough to experience throughout my years of high school. One of my main opportunities that I will always remember as I work my way into building my career is job shadowing a cardiovascular ICU nurse during my junior year. It amazed me and inspired me into something that I would love to pursue in my future. I was able to do such a thing through the medical careers academy studying all about the body throughout the year. By that time I was already on my second year of the academy so I had a fairly good understanding of what was being taught.

I first heard and learned about this position in second semester OR clinical. I do not personal know anyone who works in this area. But, I am very interested in playing a hands-on role in surgical procedures. I enjoy being able to see firsthand the makeup and function inside the body, and the process of repair. Education requirement for this position include, bachelor degree BSN, RN license, certification in perioperative nursing (CNOR), and completion of an RNFA program. The certification in perioperative nursing (CNOR) can be obtained through the Competency and Credentialing Institute (CCI). Their CNOR credentialing program is currently accredited by both, the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) and the American

For six years I have been a Patient Care Technician, also known as a PCT. Currently employed by a hospital, I have decided to further my education and become a Registered Nurse. Both of these jobs are similar in a few ways, such as both health care jobs and require hands-on patient care. They can also be very different as well. Being a nurse and a patient care technician are different in the following ways: types of patient care, responsibilities, and the required education.

This article talks about how nursing was in the making and how it was basically created/ formed. It provides a list of people, events, and places where nursing was mostly used and how they used it. It also talks about how nursing saved half of the population back during World War II.

I completely agree with RN Safe staffing issue. In the hospital I work at, we experience nurse shortages all the time. We are also pulled from our home unit to another unit that you may have never worked in, but they need a nurse or an aide. When you are hired you are oriented to the other units, but it could be six months or longer before you work on that unit again which to me is unsafe. We have nurses from the OB/GYN unit who know nothing about a person being on a heart monitor, working in our unit because their unit has a low census and our unit is full and we need another RN. So is this considered an unsafe work environment or is it considered safe because the patient/nurse ratios match what the staffing matrix says or is patient

Advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs), whether they are nurse practitioners (NP), clinical nurse specialists (CNS), certified nurse anesthetists (CRNA), or nurse midwife (CNM), play a pivotal role in health care (American Nurses Association [ANA], 2015). APNs are quite often providing primary, preventative, chronic, and routine care to patients. According to BMJ Open (Kanda et al., 2015) nurses are on the frontline and continue to be the largest profession in the world. APRNs obtain at least a Master’s degree, have an expert knowledge base, possess superlative clinical skills and demonstrate complex decision making skills often time utilizing the interdisciplinary team approach. As Indicated by the Journal of Pediatric Health Care,

So before we were assigned this subject I already had a pretty big opinion on it. Mostly because what other people’s opinions on the subject including past employers and even teachers at CPTC is that there will be no future for LPNs and eventually all LPNs will have to become RNs. Do I agree with this?? No. I have always thought to myself or said aloud why would they pay a RN a RN wage to do what a LPN can do at a LPN wage. Especially in a LTC setting, other than management positions LPNs and CNAs make up the majority of the workers. The geriatric population is only going to get bigger in the next couple of decades and I do not foresee there being a lack of jobs or opportunity for LPNS in this particular field. LPNs have also taken over outpatient

Paramedics in term are classified as street doctors (Legal ones). They have a great understanding of situations that occur traumatically and diagnostically. Without doctors treating injuries on the go there would be an incredibly high death rate. Even though schooling for medics isn’t that long, the information that is learned is enough to treat the patient in a pre-hospital care environment. Training for medical scenarios is a daily routine that medics run against to prepare for real events, such as triaging (Order of who needs treatment right away) patients when there is a mass causality. A medic’s most important tool to treat injured patients is their equipment. There is variety of

Registered nurses and members of various professions exchange knowledge and ideas about how to deliver high quality health care, resulting in overlaps and constantly changing professional practice boundaries. This inter-professional team collaboration involves recognition of the expertise of others within and outside one’s profession and referral to those providers when appropriate. (American Nurses Association, 2010, p. 33)

My goal is complete my degree in B.A. in Science Health and to continue with my education and become a Registered Nurse.

The EMT profession is one of the few professions left in America that have unregulated work shift hours. Twenty-four hour work shifts are common among the EMT industry and the resulting fatigue is causing mental and physical health issues with EMT’s as well as safety issues for both EMT’s and the patients they are responding to. I believe that the EMT profession needs work hour regulation similar to those of long haul truck drivers, medical residents, pilots and railroad conductors. ”Virtually every branch of commercial or public transportation has very strict rules on hours that their employees can operate, except EMT.”(Medic Madness) The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) plans to announce a research team in the coming years, which will develop fatigue management programs for the EMT industry. These programs will educate EMTs on proper fatigue management as well as teach them the negative effects fatigue has on the body and mind. In my opinion, the regulation of work hours and the development of fatigue management programs in the EMT profession is long overdue.
