Difference between an RN and an LPN Many people who are interested in nursing as a career confuse the duties of an LPN and an RN. Both fulfill vital roles in the health care industry and are a part of the largest, fastest, and steadily growing career sectors. While LPNs and RNs both work closely with doctors and patients, there are a few things that separate the titles. The main differences are education, duties and salaries. One of the main differences between an LPN and an RN is the amount of education required to be certified in each field of expertise.
Nurses are relied upon to advocate for our patients dignity, privacy, confidentiality, improper and incompetent care. The case of Marianne is a good example of how the ANA code of nursing ethics could help a patient that can't make convey their needs the healthcare team. The stroke has left Marianne unresponsive and without an advanced directive the healthcare team has no way of knowing what her desires would be for the plan of care. Her husband and children are in disagreement with which direction to go in regards to her care. The ANA code of ethics has provisions in place to assist in a decision for this case.
Factors such as burnout and leadership behavior among other factors negatively affect performance, satisfaction, and retention of nurse managers. The dilemma is creating and maintaining a healthy work setting that keeps stress to a minimum so that all involved achieve optimal satisfaction, in particular nurse managers. Therefore, not addressing this problem implies that healthcare organizations will, as a result, find difficulty in retaining nurse managers to accomplish their vision and mission of providing high quality patient
We have had a recent decline in our T.J.C compliance, HR will play a vital role in ensuring the members we bring into our organization are motivated and compliant to our guidelines. They will also be the focal point of ensuring our staff members are treated fairly and are able to perform their duties without discrimination. One of the issues we are currently facing is a shortage of clinical staff, to include registered nurses, respiratory therapist, and medical technologist – and an abundant number of physicians on staff. The team, along with the HR office will need to reevaluate the services that our organization provides and redefine the positions we will maintain. For example, if we have three pediatricians on staff and the majority of patients we receive is the elderly population – we may have to revise our
The study found that individuals’ philosophies of interprofessional working impacted on professional interactions within the teams. Communication was found to be an issue with teams not sharing information and Freeman et al (2000) point out that an increased level of communication was needed in order to facilitate enhanced team interactions. Role overlap has been noted to exist in interprofessional care (Nancarrow 2004) however the issue of role protection should also be considered as a barrier to interprofessional working. Nancarrow (2004) found that nurses were highly protective of their role within intermediate care and believed that it was the role of the nurse to take responsibility for the management of the patients’ medical needs and viewed therapy needs as the remit of the therapists within the team. This would suggest that role overlap was not in existence and
These processes are due to The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 or Affordable Care Act 2010 (ACA), which includes several provisions to link cost-effective care with quality. The current system in the health care industry is fragmented and lacks individual responsibility for the coordination and quality of patient care. By designing incentives for establishment of integrated care delivery models and disbursing funds for coordination and quality care, the ACA seeks to reform health care resource allocation attempts towards rewarding quality of care while ensuring greater volumes of care. This necessitates nurses to adjust themselves to the reorganized health care system they being an intricate part in ensuring patient care and desirable outcomes, as well as being fundamental to the attainment of emerging patient-care delivery models (American Nurses Association, 2008). Let us also examine as to how the practice of nursing is expected to shift based on the concepts of continuum of care, accountable care organizations (ACO’s) medical health homes (MHH), nurse-managed health care clinics (NMHCs).
Some cases seem to be complex, more so when the parties involved maintain opposing positions, yet both make sense. In the case of physician prescriptive authority, administrators must think censoriously to make a determination on whether it should be adopted. The concern should be to offer the best service to the patients without harming them. However, nurses are very important in this matter since they give the primary care to the patients. On the other hand, the physical is trained to diagnose and plan the treatment for the patient.
Being an authentic leader means they must be true to themselves and their values and act accordingly. Only through authentic leadership will nurse managers and leadership be able to become the “glue” to hold together a healthy work environment under the stress of a constant change. The nurse leader will be faced with more difficulty in achieving positive and productive working relationships due to the more specialized practice roles or experts in the workplace. Typically experts are less likely to share information amongst one another, to help one another complete jobs, or to share resources. The leader in 2021 must be able to demonstrate a high level of collaboration themselves and create a community with clear communication and resolving conflicts
