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
Legal and ethical responsibility of the care provided is also increasingly shared by the nurses. Nurses are the leaders of care team group. It is very important to train skilled and efficient nurses for the society. The more the education level goes up, patients will get better outcome. Comparison Both baccalaureate degree and associate degree in nursing play an important role in patient care but in two different ways.
Incorporating NP case management of cardiovascular disease risk factors into clinical care settings is an efficacious and cost-effective strategy to help patients achieve their cholesterol goals and improve outcomes. Watts, S. 1) This article is a report of a study designed to examine the role of ward-based APNs and their impact on patient care and nursing practice. 2) An ethnographic approach was used to explore the advanced nurse practitioner role. Participant observation and interviews of five ward-based ANPs working in a large teaching hospital in the North West and were complemented by formal and informal interviews with staff and patients. 3) The predominant concept that ran through the data analysis was that of APNs as a cornerstone, using their expertise, networks, and knowledge of healthcare not only to facilitate patient care but to develop a pivotal role facilitating nursing and medical practice.

Data, Information, Knowledge, and Wisdom Walden University Transforming Nursing & Healthcare NUR 6051D-2 December 29, 2013 Data, Information, Knowledge, and Wisdom The American Nurses Association states that “Nursing Informatics (NI) is a specialty that incorporates nursing science, computer science, and information science to control and communicate data, information, knowledge, and wisdom in the nursing practice” (2008, p.1). The use of data, information, knowledge, and wisdom is very essential to maintain nursing and informatics; for nurses to accurately perform in improving the quality of patient care. For instance in research, it is necessary to sort through data into valid information, and to transfer that information into knowledge, and then lastly to convert that knowledge into wisdom. The rationale of gathering significant data, information, and knowledge is to make sensible evaluations. The purpose of this paper is to inform the reader on the necessary steps it takes to conduct a research on a clinical question, how to organize that information, how to use that information to gain knowledge and wisdom, and lastly to utilize that wisdom in their practice.
The organization builds on this trust as it promotes awareness of public policy and advocates for patient welfare. The value to becoming part of a professional organization on the legislative process is being an advocate. As the largest single group of health care providers, nurses have the potential to successfully advocate from a diverse power base; and they and have a unique perspective on health care policies and expertise to share with power brokers. Nurses need to be a strong voice actively advocating for positive change. Nurses strengthen their power base when they network with nursing colleagues and other supporters to build consensus on important issues.
The NCNR dedicated areas within its institute to focus just on how to conduct research. Knowing how to conduct research is important as studies were undergone to not only improve nurses’ ability to slow a patient’s illness, but to also assist the nurse in promoting a healthy lifestyle for the patient. The NCNR believes research is necessary because nurses “are more likely to have continuing contact with the most vulnerable populations” (Merritt, 1987). Research is needed to assist nurses in identifying those patients at risk so interventions can be put into place to empower the patient to realize a healthy lifestyle is achievable. Conclusion Nursing research has always been and continues to be directed toward patient care.
