Analytical Essay: “Healing the Hospital Hierarchy” On the day of March 16, 2013, Theresa Brown’s newspaper article entitled “Healing the Hospital Hierarchy” was published in the New York Times online newspaper. This article mostly focuses patients who do not get the procedures and treatments required because some medical professionals are more concerned about their ranking. In the article, it is explained how physicians are ranked higher and nurses are below them, even though nurses spend more time with the patients than doctors, and yet their opinion is overlooked, either because the doctor doesn’t care or the nurse is afraid to speak up. Physicians only come in for a small amount of time and because they are ranked higher than the nurses,
Running Head: ADMISSION ESSAY Admission Essay Keuka College Maryann B Cogdill Practice Change Five years ago I decided to address a practice change that I felt desperately needed to be done to provide the best care for our patients on the obstetric unit in our small community hospital. We were safely delivering 500 babies on an annual base but had great hopes of expanding our practice. At the time, we did not provide couplet care but had one nurse for the mother and another nurse for the baby. My staff had become comfortable tending to the needs of either the postpartum mother or the newborn. Some of these nurses had worked for our organization for over 30 years and simply found their expertise in
Ethical Decisions Regarding Organ Transplants Brinda Loupe American Military University Modern medicine has made many achievements, perhaps one of the most remarkable achievements is the ability to prolong a life by replacing one or more of their major organs. Many people wait years for a transplant, some may not receive one at all, due to the number of organs available is lower that the need or demand for them. Along with the supply issues are many ethical issues arise with regard to procurement and distribution of the organs. Physicians should provide education to all patients during their care in regards to organ donation rather than waiting until the time when a family member is distraught to asked about the donation. Many families will reject the idea of organ donation in an effort to hold on to their loved one.
Nursing shared governance extends that rule to nurses. It surfaced as a radical break from traditional hospital governance where nurses had little power within a rigid formal hierarchical bureaucracy. Nursing shared governance is a managerial innovation that legitimizes nurses’ control over practice, while extending their influence into administrative areas previously controlled only by managers. [ (Hess, 1998, pp. 5-6) ] Shred Governance is not new it has been documented for over twenty years in the Nursing profession but has only recently been a major focus of the healthcare systems.
Spiritual Heritage of Nursing Abstract For over 150 years now, professional nursing in the secular Western world has been trying to disentangle itself from anything religious. From the post-Enlightenment emphasis on science and reason to the women’s movement, the nurse’s efforts to elevate nursing practice to the status of profession and to prove herself intellectual among the scientifically practicing physician, has nearly drown the historical spiritual intentions of nursing. The purpose of this paper is to discuss and honor the spiritual heritage of nurses, providing a chronological overview of how the practice has evolved through Western Civilization. Spiritual Heritage of Nursing For over 150 years now, professional nursing (still in its infancy) in the secular Western world has been trying to disentangle itself from anything religious. We have come to prosper in this industrialized world we live in, and have reaped countless benefits from science and technology.
Running head: THE PRIMARY CARE CLINIC The Primary Care Clinic Lacey Jaslaine Vaughn March 12, 2013 Strayer University Professor Kathleen Milburne The Primary Care Clinic Discuss the key political, economic, and social forces that may have influenced the development of the clinic. Politics have always had an influence on our healthcare. In the United States, people benefit from our health care system. There are many politicians that are being “paid” in order to keep our health care system the way it has been for years. Obamacare forces people to have health insurance, so it caused those who do not agree with it to make the choice to not get any type of health insurance.
The Cost of Health Care in the United States Health Care System Tiffany HCA 305 Professor: Teresa Thomas October 7, 2013 Healthcare costs in the United States has been a major issue in the United States for decades. With the population of the baby boomers increasing, and the population of the United States increasing, health care costs are rising and continue to do so. With Congress passing health care reforms, there has been little evidence in the reducing cost of health care. New and advanced technology within the health care field would be a great implementation in reducing health care costs. Also, if people took more responsibility of their health while insurance reforms develop, that would be another attempt in reducing health
With costs at only $ 12,000 in India compared to $ 70,000 in the United States, there’s a lot of money to save. In her article “Womb for Rent: Surrogate Mothers in India” from “Marie Claire” Magazine of July 29, 2007, Abigail Haworth tries to figure out if outsourced pregnancy is just simple exploitation or actually a great help to the poor women of India, whom suddenly can afford their children’s education. She interviews several Indian surrogate mothers at the Akanksha Infertility Clinic that’s driven by Nayna Patel. Instead of talking to experts, she wants to tell the story from perspective of those the people involved. A clever choice if you ask me.
“How can I make this world a better place?” At first thought, it is typical to envision projects such as building homes in underdeveloped communities. Although acts of contribution like these are life-changing, today’s generation often forgets about those who evolved us into who we are today. To combat this dilemma, I have been visiting a local nursing home for 4 years, and it has been the most uplifting experience a young person can be part of. When I became involved with volunteerism in my freshman year, I felt alone. Not many kids in my high school wanted to visit seniors in a nursing home.
