[Roberta S. Rehm]. Thus, the need for nurses to upgrade their skills in handling assistive technical gadgets becomes more pronounced. The most frustrating and stressful situation for parents is when school authorities fail to show an active interest in the needs and care requirements of the technologically dependent children. Here again, school nurses, as health care deliverers in the school, can exhibit a proactive approach. Increased parent- nurse rapport is one way to reduce the parental concern for children with special needs. Clearly, nurses are central in delivering quality medicare for dependant children and in promoting it in the school setting. They have to play a coordinated role with parents and school administration to ensure that required level of care is delivered to the dependent children. [Roberta S. Rehm] It needs to be highlighted here that schools nurses may not be always available as in many cases they are entrusted with the duty of overseeing the health care needs of several schools. Thus, teachers are often looked upon to learn health management skills that are necessary for assisting technology dependant children. Though teachers, in general, agree to provide extra care and monitor the medically fragile and technology dependant children, they are in most cases reluctant to intervene under emergencies for lack of knowledge of the procedures and for fear of the liabilities involved. However, surveys in this direction have shown that most teachers are willing to learn interventions that are specific to caring a particular child in the class, rather than willing to undergo general training programs. [Roberta S. Rehm] Thus, it rests upon the nurses to train teachers in the technical and simple medicare issues specific to a care dependant child. Nurses also train 'special education aides' in specific procedures. For example children...
So, clearly, nurses have a multifaceted role of trainers, counselors, liaison officers and most importantly, health care deliverers for medically fragile and technology dependant children both in the home as well as community settings.
A person's health is an ever-changing state of being resulting from the interaction with the environment. Optimum health is the actualization of both innate and obtained human potential gained through rewarding relationships with others, obtaining goals and maintaining expert personal care. Adaptations can be made as required to maintain stability and structural integrity. A person's state of health can vary from wellness to illness, disease, or dysfunction. Professional nursing is
In an acute care setting, such Veterans Affairs, this objective is executed by educating patients about how to maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle after the leave the facility, while in a long-term care setting-such as Cobble Hill-this objective is executed on a daily basis by providing nutritious meals for elderly residents.

Nursing Shortage Risk Management Plan Nursing staff scarcity constitutes a widespread issue across several segments of the healthcare sector.

Since modern medicine can sustain patients with proper medical follow-up for years, it becomes incumbent on the profession to follow the patients and provide them with the knowledge and tracking to insure that they are observing the procedures and medications which prolong their quality of life. Given hospitals' short-term orientation with the patients, there is a need to bridge patient care before, during and after acute-care visits. While there are some
FNP vs. PNP My preferred role in nursing is Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP). I prefer this role over that of a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner (PNP). An FNP is a well-rounded practitioner working to meet the health care needs of any number of members of a family unit. FNPs provide health assessments, direct care, and guidance, teaching, or counseling and emphasize family "self-care" (Pastorino, 1998). The FNP typically works collaboratively with family
