EDUCATIONAL PREPARATION GRAND CANYON UNIVERSITY NRS 430V February 01 2015 EDUCATIONAL PREPARATION Education is the process of teaching, training or learning. It has a very important role in today’s health care system. The purpose of this paper is to depict the distinction between an Associate –degree level nurse (ADN) and a baccalaureate-degree level nurse (BSN). Using a patient care situation, this paper will also write in detail about the variance in approach, and the roles that experiences and the skills play in a clinical decision made by a BSN and an ADN.

A Comparison of the Professional Roles of Nurses In this paper, the nurse’s unique role in providing inter-professional care, patient care quality and safety, cost effective healthcare, and care to diverse patient populations will be investigated. A Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA), J.W. and a Nurse Educator, M.,H., were interviewed, their roles as nurses were analyzed using provided protocol to discuss the difference between research and quality improvement, also how informatics affect the quality of patient care. The two specialties based on the individual interviews will be compared and a copy of both interviews will be incorporated into the paper. Lastly, a reflection of findings will be discussed as to how nurses could contribute the information from the two interviews into their own professional growth and development.
Registered Nurse I am going to school to become a Registered Nurse (RN). A registered nurse completes a number of job tasks. One task is to deliver infants and perform postpartum examinations and treatment.

With an increasing population of children experiencing chronic health issues, harsh changes in our socioeconomic environment, and the increase in population of non-English speaking cultures, there is a stated need for additional educational tools for the school nurse. Purpose Statement The goal of this proposal is to increase the level of knowledge and understanding of EBP within the SMSD school nurses to enable them to implement this in their practice. By providing the necessary tools, this goal will allow for the flexibility of the school nurses to practice EBP in the manner appropriate for their circumstances. A multiple choice and open-ended pre-test will be administered prior to the presentation of the educational module with a comprehensive post-test to follow. Research Questions Quantitative: Are changing demographics in the SMSD having an affect on the nurse’s view of diverse needs for the support of students?

It is through these theories that we will gain more insight into the issues associated with school system-wide leadership (Knapp, et al, 2008, p. 35). This study will use these learning theories to illuminate the reasoning for educational reform, and inform the research obtained from the focus groups and interviews. These theories are vital to the study, because they are the basis for change and adaptability of people within professional environments. Organizational change refers to the learning of a collective, and how students
Becoming a Professional Nurse The decision to embark upon a life changing programme of study came about initially in response to redundancy. During that difficult time, two potential career options were realistically available i.e. return to secondary school teaching biological and health sciences or return to nursing. Following a period of deliberation and upon close scrutiny of existing skills the decision to apply for the PG Dip in Nursing was made, the decision being based upon the notion that prior employment within the sector together with teaching experience on nursing cadetship programmes could prove to be very valuable. As a former lecturer in microbiology the inherent difficulties of maintaining asepsis within community based settings was an issue that became immediately apparent particularly in respect of dressing wounds and the potential for cross contamination and healthcare associated infections [HCAI’s].
