SCHOOL NURSE OBJECTIVES 2 Schools provide services to students throughout the childhood and adolescent years, school nurses must be cognizant of pediatric developmental stages and able to provide age appropriate services and information. A baseline understanding of pediatric developmental characteristics and a general knowledge of appropriate approaches in the assessment and management of the varied age groups will be beneficial. The assessment and treatment approach when dealing with an injured or ill kindergartner is quite different from that of a highs chool student, particularly when considering student participation in the decision making process, provision of educational information, and level of parental involvement. In addition, children with special needs or chronic conditions may require more frequent emergency care interventions due to their physical or mental disability and/or chronic illness. The school nurse has a key role not only in providing emergency care to students, but also in developing prevention strategies.
This allows the medical staff to use the knowledge they obtained in school in order to help the patients in improving their life. This helps in advancing their lifestyle and promotes good health. There are various types of assessment tools that may be used, all depending on the patient’s current situation. One tool that is currently being used is the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). It is a measure of the degree to which situation’s in one’s life are appraised as stressful (Cohen, 1988).
Shatamara Towler Professor Flowers EDUC 2120 25 June 2014 Gender Biases and Socialization in Education in “The Mona Lisa Smile” As teachers, we recognize that schools are places of cultural governments. Schools are a set of public, literal and optical traditions aimed to produce the creation of values and needs that affect people’s sense of their future identities and possibilities. The traditions and ideologies concerning women’s role in society in The Mona Lisa Smile, affects the students desires and identities, and the role of social change. The film speaks on the culture of young women in prestigious schools preparing to give up their education for the education of their children, and serve as wives to privileged males, rather than following their own dreams. Katherine Watson, the teacher, challenges the girls by portraying liberal ideas to the students.
Within each of the roles of scholarship are the nursing core values of caring, integrity, diversity, and excellence (NLN). The scholarship of knowing seeks to build on the current foundation of nursing knowledge through the identification and research of health issues. Empirical and historical research, theory development, and methodological studies, generate new knowledge that forms the basis for new nursing theories and evidence-based practice. The APN scholarship of teaching assimilates new and existing knowledge, and transfers this information from expert to novice, teacher to student, and healthcare provider to the patient. The APN may teach by role modeling, or mentoring of students and new nurses.
As the number of patients on dialysis increases, so does the demand for hemodialysis nurses (Dunbar et al., 2012). This program is to provide a well-rounded orientation that will assist the new registered nurse that is integrating into this specialty both professionally and socially (Hall, 2006). Developing this program is a proactive way to address the critical nursing shortage in the outpatient dialysis setting and help students decide whether or
2002). Kyriacos, U et al. 2005 states, within the Journal of Advanced Nursing, that the more nurses know about biological sciences, the more they can apply to practice overall, creating an improved result to patients they care for. This could cause the student nurse stress if they lack in knowledge of such science, leading them to asking themselves the question of ‘how successful have I been, or otherwise?’ The biological sciences a student nurse must undertake are physiology, anatomy, pharmacology and microbiology
Planning With Cultural and Linguistically Differences in the Classroom Abstract According to an old African proverb, it takes a village to raise a child. Similarly, it takes an entire school community to educate a child. Children face many obstacles that hinder their effectiveness in the public education system. Public school systems, therefore, have to address more than academics. The classroom teachers are a leading force in charting the academic journey of struggling students that lead to educational success.
As role models, nurses need to take action to educate the youth of society about the nursing profession. Several authors have noted that “encouraging children to enter nursing should begin during the pre-school and elementary school years because changing children’s perceptions of nursing has been shown to affect their choices of college and
The concept of evidence- based practice will be thoroughly analysed throughout the essay in regards to adolescent pregnancy. The portfolio of artefacts represents student learning in relation to the evidence base for practice in pregnant adolescents. It contains five artefacts which are all related to teenage pregnancy, rural nursing and parenting. A portfolio is an important and necessary compilation of documents for a nurse to have, to ensure they have journals that interest, guide and base their practice. Continual researching of evidence-based practice is imperative in all medical professions.
Another stressful career would be elementary education. Dealing with young students running around the classroom and trying to control them at the same time can be truly stressful and even aggravating. Both fields have very similar traits, but attempt to achieve two totally different things. In one, teaching, the objective is to help the child get better at fundamental skills and prepare for the coming grades. In pediatric oncology nursing the main goal is to help the patient get better through treatments and medications.
