Change, though a part of our daily routine in nursing was difficult. My history with this organization was that often nurses found that practices that were adequate during their own experience as a patient and therefore should not be changed or improved on. More well seasoned nurses had told me during my initial fact finding phase that they prefer specializing in either mothers or newborns, but not both. All my nurses had certification in neonatal resuscitation and basic life support which was the basic structure of being competency in couplet care. After assuring the support of my clinical coordinator and my senior leader, I spoke at a staff meeting about the benefits of couplet care.
Retention of Nurse Managers in Healthcare Vina Mealey Thomas Edison State College Dr. Jenna Hatcher-Keller June 10, 2012 Abstract Nurse Managers have vast knowledge and experiences not only in managerial work but also in care giving which enables them to effectively accomplish their duties contributing to the overall success of health care organizations. However, in the course of their duties, nurse manager’s performance and work output are affected by various factors such as burnout, poor management systems or policies and inadequate compensation among other factors. Studies show that in order to retain qualified nursing in management roles, health systems must learn to utilize strategies which promote a positive work environment. Creating a good work environment that fosters and enhances the quality of administrative and leadership systems as well as relationships while enabling maintenance of quality of work/life balance, contributes to nurse manager retention (Parsons & Stonestreet, 2003). This paper critiques research studies on several factors such as burnout, job satisfaction, and leadership behavior that may influence the successful performance and retention

Chamberlain College of Nursing September 28, 2011 The reasons why I want to become a nurse. Being a nurse will help me make a difference in the world by helping save lives. I always loved helping people; I find it very fulfilling to know that the small part that I hope to play in the future will help a person on his or her recovery to good health. A nurse, to me, is someone who is friendly, patience, compassionate and trustworthy. I believe these traits personally are important to have when entering the nursing field.
Even with a brief nursing career, most nurses will agree that nursing has been and will remain one of the most satisfying careers; “…as long as there are people that have the desire to change the world, one relationship at a time”. (Pellico, 2006, p.33) Many people enter nursing for personal reasons, such as having to learn how to take care of a loved one with a new diagnosis or having family in the nursing field. This paper will also show growth in the baccalaureate nursing program from the original philosophy paper. Philosophy of Nursing This paper will discuss and show how the four nursing meta-paradigm concepts of person, nursing, health, and environment are used in developing a personal philosophy of nursing. Person includes the recipient of care such as patients, their families, and communities as a whole.
I still sat there wondering how the core of my brain could possibly be damaged. I never hit my head, and if I did, it wasn’t hard. Then the doctor told me it could be hereditary. It still didn’t make sense because I didn’t know anyone in my family that had this disease, until my mom told me that my great grandmother had it, and of course I’m the first person to get it since she passed away. The doctor then continued to question me about my organization.
What happens when celebrities do not do all their research on an issue, such as vaccines, and still speak to the American public like they hold a doctorate on the matter? What happens when one family does not vaccinate their children and it suddenly has a huge effect on dozens of other families and children? The answer to these two questions is people die. America is facing a problem today that could lead to an epidemic tomorrow; parents are not vaccinating their children. In this country disease such as measles, Haemophilus influenza type b (HIB), mumps, and whooping cough were all but eradicated, then about 10 years ago there was a scare that a preservative put into vaccines causes autism.
