Nurse practitioners are advanced-level nurses that are responsible for the care of their patients in a very similar manner to a physician. In fact, most states permit nurse practitioners (NPs) to act completely independently of a physician, however, some states require that NPs work collaboratively with licensed doctors. This is in contrast to lower level nurses, such as registered or licensed vocational nurses, who are often not given the same level of freedom and responsibilities. Should you decide to become a nurse practitioner, you'll likely find that it is a great way to gain the satisfaction that comes with helping people, while at the same time being your own boss. So, how exactly does one achieve this goal?
Tasks that were once assigned to nurses are now the responsibility of Medical Assistants due to the shortage in nursing. Removal of these less complex tasks from the nurses allows them to focus more on the patient. American Association of Medical Assistants. (2011) www.aama-ntl-org This website includes information on FAQs on Medical Assisting and the CMA (AAMA). The mission of the American Association of Medical Assistants is to provide the Medical Assistant professional with education, certification, credential acknowledgement, networking opportunities, scope-of practice

Indicators of structure are measures by the supply and skill level of nursing staff as well and the education and certifications of the nursing staff. Indicators of the nursing process are nursing assessments, interventions and RN job satisfaction. Patient outcomes that are determined to be nursing sensitive are those that improve if there is a greater quantity or quality of nursing care (e.g., pressure ulcers, falls, and intravenous infiltrations). (American Nurses Association, 2014) NDNQI: National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators. There are some patient quality and safety measures which have been shown through research to be significantly affected by nursing care or “nurse-sensitive” measures.
Research Article Analysis Paper Abstract The abstract is a detailed description including the study problem, the particular patient population studied, the method of study used and a brief description of the results. The authors present the question and significant results of that question within the abstract. The abstract would have been strengthened by clearly stating the sample size and conclusion of the research. Introduction The authors of the research article found it important to educate nurses directly working with renal disease on end-of-life issues. They felt these patients were not getting proper education and assistance ensuring the wishes were being carried out.
Many nurses have to work in at least a few different facilities just to earn enough money to live comfortably in our current society. The nurses then get called on a short shift at a different facility but have to refuse the work because they are already working else
Learning Needs Assessment Paper Coral R Williams NUR 588 November 25, 2013 Monie Nuckles Learning Needs Assessment Paper “A needs assessment is the systematic exploration of the way things are and the way they should be. These things are usually associated with an organizational process and an individual evaluation” (American Nurse Association, 2002, para. 3). For the nursing practice a systematic exploration would be the nursing problem-solving process. Nurses use problem-solving when they perceive a gap between an existing state (what is going on) and a desired state (what should be going on).
From the ill-perceived role of the nurse performing mundane tasks for physicians more than half a century ago, the establishment of advanced practice nursing as a distinct pillar in the health care system to the hybridization of the practice of both nursing and medicine as a nurse practitioner to address primary care physician shortages, it is still to be determined what non-clinical roles may arise in the future health care system. More recently, the operations of the Clinical Nurse Leader (CNL) by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) Board of Directors arose "in response to client care needs and to the health care delivery environment" (Spross, Hamric, Hall, Minarik, Sparacino & Stanley, 2004, p. 2). The CNL, an APN who is a generalist, works at the microsystems level (e.g. outpatient clinics, hospital units) and is concerned with such tasks as developing and implementing strategies for plans of care at the preventive level, coordination of care and other administrative-related
The critical path is 9 months at a cost of $655,000, with a ROI of $450,000 over a five year span. The forecasted revenue of the Palomino project is $90,000 for a period of five years. The end of life of this product s expected to be within 7 years. The Stargazer is a high risk, high reward project. This project will require an additional cost of $575,000 to bring the product to market.
Because of the speed of all of this coming at the nurse, it seems as though the nursing diagnosis is quicker to come by. Critical thinking helps formulate a plan on the fly because home visits are so hard to plan for. A nurse never really knows what to expect until inside the client’s home. Interventions are immediately evaluated due to the short
