Nurse Practitioner Portfolio: A Review of Aspects Related to Nurse Practitioner (NP) Scope of Practice (SOP)
Negotiation Strategy
Numerous researches deal with patient outcomes or care quality offered by nurse practitioners, with current literature indicating that nurse practitioners’ care quality standards are nearly on an equal footing with that offered by doctors. A primary care NP meta-analysis revealed that researches which controlled for patient risks non-randomly found pathological ailment resolution and patient satisfaction to be greater in case of patients cared for by NPs; further, NPs were just as good as doctors in most variables within controlled researches (Bakken & McArthur, 2001).
Nursing professionals supplementing physicians offer services complementary to or going beyond services offered by physicians. The objective is improving care quality and extending the array of services offered to patients. On the other hand, nursing professionals substituting doctors offer services that would have otherwise been offered by physicians alone. In this context, the goal is decreasing physician demand.
In my nursing practice, I can compromise on aspects like schedule (for ensuring smooth organizational operations) and my own personal interests. For instance, I am willing to embrace effective interaction, cooperation and collaboration at every level of work when delivering patient care.
However, there are certain practice areas where I will refrain from compromising. For instance, I cannot compromise on the aspect of adequate attention to individual patients. I will do the best I can to make sure all patients receive adequate attention in their treatment/healthcare process. Further, quality of services provided and system responsiveness are other critical healthcare organizational elements. Hence, I will make sure I offer superior quality services and respond in a timely and efficient way. Lastly, non-cooperation on healthcare workers’ part is unacceptable. I will make sure to urge fellow nursing professionals to actively take part in the patient care process.

Nurse practitioners play a crucial role in the modern healthcare system given their responsibilities in administering patient care. One of the critical components in the delivery of healthcare services in the modern healthcare setting is collaboration between different stakeholders. Modern healthcare environments and settings are characterized by the establishment of a multidisciplinary team that provides patient care. Consequently, nurse practitioners are required to collaborate with others, particularly physicians in their
Today, health care in the United States is characterized by growing demand combined with skyrocketing costs and critical shortages of qualified health care practitioners. In response to these challenges, there has also been a growing consensus among health care providers that nurse practitioners possess the education, training and expertise that are required to provide high quality medical services for a wide array of disorders. In fact, some studies have indicated

This in turn may lead to job dissatisfaction later down the line and ultimately limit ones ability to succeed in their chosen field. Presently there is not enough research provided to provide conclusive evidence one way or another
Nurse Licensure Do you believe that nurse licensure (and scope of practice) should be controlled at the state or federal level? The NLC (Nurse Licensure Compact) is a mutual acknowledgement licensure model. Many states have thought of authorizing it. Nonetheless, there were various factors that either terminated the bill while it was being processed or had it cancelled after adjournment. National licensure involves setting of criteria for universal licensing nationally, and administering
