State of Advance Practice/Week 2 Patricia Grayson-Canty Chamberlain College of Nursing NR 510 Leadership and Role of the Advanced Practice Nurse Terri Schmitt Professor Spring B 2014 Introduction The purpose of this paper is to further examine the state of advanced practice nursing from a local, state, national, and international perspective. The role of the nurse practitioner (NP) “evolved from the shortage of primary care medical providers in underserved areas in the 1960s” (DeNisco & Barker, 2013, p. 20). NPs became a much needed asset during the Great Society era due to the development of the government health programs such as Medicaid, Medicare, and Community health Centers that needed care providers. These programs helped
Jean Watson was born in West Virginia US. She attained her BSN in Nursing in 1964 from the University of Colorado, MS in 1966 and her Ph.D. in 1973 also from University of Colorado, MS. Jean Watson is the Dean of Nursing at the University Health Sciences Center and President of the National League for Nursing. She has a Ph.D. in educational psychology and counseling with research centered in the area of human caring and loss. Jean Watson’s first book, “Nursing: the philosophy and science of caring”, was published in 1979 where she presented the Theory of Human Caring. Jean Watson published the theory of caring in 1988 named “nursing: human science and human care.” She was the founder of the in human caring which revolves around 10 Carative Factors that are essential for nursing and caring (Alligood 2010).
Several steps occur in the development of the NCLEX-RN Test Plan. The first step is conducting a practice analysis that is used to collect data on the current practice of the entry-level nurse (Report of Findings from the 2011 RN Practice Analysis: Linking the NCLEX-RN® Examination to Practice; NCSBN, 2012). Twelve thousand newly licensed registered nurses are asked about the frequency and importance of performing 141 nursing care activities. Nursing care activities are then analyzed in relation to the frequency of performance, impact on maintaining client safety, and client care settings where the activities are performed. This analysis guides the development of a framework for entry-level nursing practice that incorporates specific client needs as well as processes fundamental to the practice of nursing.
The purpose of this paper is to compare and contrast a nursing theorist from each of the aforementioned nursing categories. The following theorists were chosen – Virginia Henderson (needs theorist), Ernestine Wiedenbach (interaction theorist), Martha Rogers (outcome theorist), and caring/becoming theorist (Jean Watson). The education background, definition of nursing, philosophy of nursing, and goal/purpose of nursing will be explored.

The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health http://www.nap.edu/catalog/12956.html This paper is excerpted from Appendix I of The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health (Institute of Medicine, 2011). I The Future of Nursing Education1 Edited by Linda R. Cronenwett, Ph.D, R.N., FAAN University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Nursing SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS “Learn the past, watch the present, and create the future.” In October 2009, Don Berwick and I were out of the country when we received invitations from Susan Hassmiller to co-author a background paper on the future of nursing education for the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation/Institute of Medicine (RWJF/IOM) Committee on the Future of Nursing. Initial conversations led to long lists of potential topics to be covered. Inevitably, we kept coming back to the question: What would be useful to committee members who deserved a base for their deliberations that was focused and helpful? In the end, we decided that detailed descriptions of the current challenges and recommendations for the future of nursing education from two people were not the answer.
History of Community Nursing Matrix Beatrice Williamson University of Phoenix Healthy Communities: Theory and Practice NUR/405 Beth Edwards MSN, FNP-BC March 21, 2011 History of Community Nursing Matrix University of Phoenix Material History of Community Nursing Matrix Complete the matrix with the following concepts, and relate the concepts to two different periods of time in history and the present time: • Describe each period briefly. • Clarify the differences during each period with public health nursing and community health nursing. • Describe the key health issues. • Identify community health partnerships used during this period of time. • Describe how Watson’s Theory of Human Transpersonal Caring is related.
Description of the Theory of Human Becoming Next, the theoretician’s history and perspectives on care are highlighted, which significantly influenced the construction process of a nursing theory. Rosemarie Rizzo Parse is one of the most recent nursing theoreticians. In 1981, she published the book Nursing Fundamentals, in which she presented her ideas, proposing the nursing subject based on human sciences.5 She obtained an M.Sc. and Ph.D. from the University of Pittsburgh and is currently serving as a lecturer at Loyola University in Chicago; she is the founder and editor of Nursing Science Quarterly and the president of Discovery International and the Institute of Human Becoming. Also, she has authored eight books and different papers.10 Parse inserted two paradigms into the discussion of nursing theories, the totality paradigm, in which man is the sum of system and considered as a bio-psycho-social-spiritual being, who interacts with the environment through internal and external stimuli.
The Nursing Process This paper will explore four peer reviewed articles from the ITT Virtual Library with the basis of the Nursing Process. The nursing process is said to be originally based on a nursing theory developed by Ida Jean Orlando. This theory developed as she observed nurses in action in the late 1950’s. Ms. Orlando observed two types of nursing, good and bad nursing. Nursing care continually needs to be directed at improving outcomes for the patient; not about nursing goals.
