I also need to take into consideration how much money college is going to require. After I complete the required college courses, I will have to decide on a hospital to work at for a few years, this is called an internship. An internship usually means working with possibly a head nurse, or a nurse who has several years of experience. Someone might say, “Where would I work as a NICU nurse?” I would work where there is a NICU unit, this is usually in a children’s hospital or a large local hospital. I would work 12 hour shifts, 8-10 hour shifts, or even flexible hours.
If not for my mom who knew someone from Hemet Valley Medical Center, I would still be looking for a job right now. Hemet Valley Medical Center (HVMC) also has an orientation program for the new grad nurses, and I participated on batch 2012. The HVMC new grad program offers guidance and support very similar to what UTMC offers. The questions is, can the new grad students digest what the program can
I had the opportunity to interview a registered nurse who I have trained in the past when she was new to our department, but now I admire and view as a mentor. My interview was with a forty-two year veteran diploma graduate registered nurse who is but one year from retirement. She has worked at several different hospitals and in several different departments through out her career. I enjoyed hearing her experiences and related to a lot of the past and could understand what nursing has been, how it has moved forward, and what the future might hold for nurses. A time ago nursing was viewed as a “woman’s job”.
Papathanassoglou, (2011) suggest: Some countries, including the USA, the UK and Canada, have been developing ANP roles for decades, whereas, in other countries, including many Mediterranean and central European countries, the development of ANP roles in its infancy (p.55). As the role continues to evolve locally, statewide, nationally, and internationally nurses are stepping up and providing safe quality care to their patients. By showing an impact on patient outcomes using evidence based practice along with their skills to provide patients with a quality continuum of care. Conclusion From the beginning of 1965 when the role of the Advanced Nurse Practitioner was first implemented “nurses have been undertaking tasks and assuming responsibilities traditionally associated with medicine” (Dalton, 2012, p.48). Over the years things have changed where the Advanced Practice Nurse is much needed to continue with providing patients with a quality, safe, and continuum of care.
HLTEN401B- Work in the Nursing Profession Q1: Discuss how the enrolled nurse scope of practice has changed over the last two decades. The diversity of the roles of the Enrolled Nurse’s has increased; we are now able to provide a larger range of care to patients. Enrolled Nurses were previously unable to give medication to patients unless they were an Endorsed Enrolled Nurse, this has now changed and EN’s are now able to provide patients with certain medications. Enrolled Nurses used to be trained to become a nurse by hospital based training but then quality measures were put in place and the study of nursing got moved to tertiary education. (Cooper, S. 2011, www.abs.gov.au/statistics) Q2: Describe the different roles of the Enrolled Nurse in a variety of health care settings.
Differences in Competencies between ADN and BSN NRS-430v Professional Dynamics Grand Canyon University Each and every day changes are occurring in health care system not only in US but also in all over the world. These changes also can be observed in nursing. In health care setting nurses have so many vital roles to play.

Once I started researching a career in nursing I realized that there were a lot more types of nurses then I had originally imagined. I have not decided on which field of nursing I would like to specialize in yet but I just imagine myself as a general nurse, working in a hospital setting. A Registered Nurse (RN) is not a doctor assistant; a RN gets to treat wounds, give IV’s and basically get to treat their own patients. Right now my main priority is to stay focused on taking all necessary steps to pursuing Nursing as a career.Gwendolyn Mink describes most Registered Nurses as working directly with the patients and their families. They are the families’ contact with the medical world, in the hospital and at the patients’ home.
I have been out of school for many years, but I feel that now is my time to achieve my goals and return back to school and become a registered nurse. I have realized so many things have changed since I was last in school but I am willing and able to adjust to a new way of doing things. I anticipate many challenges along my path for academic success, such as not being as informed as those who just graduated. I also feel that I am going to have trouble understanding some words used in the educational process. It has been a long time since I have been required to use or learn new vocabulary.

What influenced my decision to attend graduate school? The purpose of this paper is to discuss what influenced my decision to return to school to pursue a graduate degree; some facilitators/barriers; educational goals; expectations of this course and how it will prepare me in becoming a nurse administrator. During my 20 years as a Registered Nurse with an associate’s degree, I have worked in practically every area of nursing. Some areas posed more challenging than others but all have played a major role in my decision today. I realize that an undergraduate education and years of experience alone will not afford you the necessary skills to participate in the global economy.
