¶ … total I have 13 years in the nursing field. Throughout that combined time I have worked in nursing homes / assisted living facilities, home health, as well as in a hospital setting. During the time that I worked in the hospital I worked in a program called share the care. This entailed me working throughout the entire hospital as a nursing assistant, which gave me experience in various areas, i.e. The emergency room, intensive care, pediatrics, oncology and etc. By being apart of this program it has afforded me the opportunity to do what I truly love, be a part of the whole process of nursing sick patients back to health. This has always been a passion of mine.
A Nurse practitioner is a nurse who has completed a graduate nursing degree and training in providing preventive and medical health care to individuals and families in association with a physician. The nurse practitioner provides health screening, performs physical examinations, orders laboratory tests and prescribes specific medications authorized by the physician. Nurse practitioners also educate patients about staying healthy. They often take care of special populations such as the rural poor, migrant farm workers, elderly persons and children. In communities or facilities with few physicians, nurse practitioners are especially important as providers of health care. By being a nurse practitioner there is an opportunity to have more of a hand in the actual care of patients and have input with the doctors for treatment. There are also opportunities to care for patients yourself and provide basic medical needs.
On the other hand physician assistants (PAs) provide healthcare services under the supervision...
EMS and Advanced Quality Management Metrics It would be difficult to deny that EMS systems place a great deal of emphasis on responses time and this often serves as one of the primary metrics for performance. Such a metric is entirely reasonable given the importance of reaching someone in critical condition sooner, as opposed to later, can potentially save their lives or at least improve their outcomes. This is an intuitive
Advanced directive may be one of the most important and underutilized tools in estate planning and health planning. This is partially due to the stigma that people have about advanced directives, as if, by planning how to deal with health issues, they are somehow going to cause health problems. However, the reality is that most people will encounter at least one medical emergency during their lifetime. In the event that
Advanced Nursing Ethics and Values It is required that nurses understand their ethical responsibilities when it comes to providing care as well as when they are functioning within a diverse healthcare setting. The paper is based on a case study that will touch on various areas when it comes to nurses and their profession. First the importance of ethical theory in nursing profession will be highlighted. The link between rules of
However, it does mean that some things will be different from the normal line of treatment. ("Advance Medical Directives.," n. d.); (Feldman, Mitchell D; Christensen, John F. (2007) The fact that resuscitation of a patient through CPR will not add significantly to the quantity and quality of life is an indication that death may not be very far off and that medicine does not have the power to turn around
Internationally, for example, most countries do not have protected titles and there is no agreement about the use of titles to distinguish APN roles. Role confusion arises when the same title, such a nurse specialist is applied to different roles with varied purposes, educational preparation, and scopes of practice. As this role becomes more integrated into the framework of different societies and is better defined, it is expected that
Advanced Nursing Theory Any scientific discipline necessarily operates under the guidance of theory. Indeed, without theory, science cannot operate. On the other hand, it is also true of all theoretical disciplines that theory cannot exist without practical experimentation to support it. In fact, without the practice and experiments to further provide solid proof for theory, no theory can further develop. In this way, practical experimentation and theory go hand in order
