Shortage of staffing in the nursing profession is a crucial situation for the healthcare centers that is needed to be addressed in order to get the desired health related outcomes. The increasing trend of burnout among the nursing professionals is found to be the antecedent of poor compensation practices, poor management, workload, demotivating career paths and inappropriate workplace behavior. The concerned authorities should develop such compensatory and workplace policies that not only retain the existing nursing professionals but also attract the potential candidates for nursing in order to address the future demand and reduce the shortage of staffing.

Application to Nursing SchoolOne of the main reasons I decided to pursue a career in nursing is my longstanding goal to help others. Over the years, I considered other helping career choices that could further this goal, but I always returned to the nursing profession as being the best personal choice for my future life plans. A major factor in making this choice was the fact that several members of my immediate family and family friends were nurses who consistently encouraged me to become a nurse and reassured me that I possessed the right stuff to become a caring professional. During my college and subsequent nursing school pursuits, the smoldering interest that I had in becoming a nurse caught fire and I became convinced that a career in nursing was the correct choice for me. Not only did I possess the right stuff according to others, I also came to…...

The relationship between work-related stress and job performance in the nursing profession

Work-related stress is best defined as the harmful emotional and physical reactions that often result from the interactions between the worker and his/her work environment where the demands of the job negatively affect the worker's capabilities and resources (European Agency for Safety and Health at Work, 2000).

When human beings are under stress, our bodies prepare for a "fight or flight response": adrenaline, cholesterol, and sugar are released into the bloodstream. This may result in anxiety or panic attacks, migraine headaches, stomach problems, back problems, racing heart beat, dizziness, sweaty hands, and other symptoms. While some stress is required to live a healthy and happy life, too much stress can cause wear and tear on our…...

Leadership
Ethical Leadership in the Nursing Profession

Nursing leadership is uniquely challenging because of the practical, physical and philosophical demands placed on nursing professionals. hen one considers the ethical implications that must also apply to this role, it becomes clear that the occupation requires a uniquely qualified individual. Indeed, as this discussion will show, in light of current challenges in the field, the achievement of ethical leadership in nursing is quite a demanding feat.

Ethical Leadership:

Leadership is a complex science. hile it is critical that an effective leader understands the importance of commanding respect, delegating effectively and comporting one's self in a manner befitting of an organization's internal culture, these practical demands may say little about one's ethical orientation. Ethicality in leadership is a feature equally as important as those practical demands that define day-to-day responsibilities. Indeed, there is a close connection between ethical performance and high standards of operational quality. This is…...

transformational leaders create a caring team?
Transformation leaders create a caring team by emphasizing empathy among team members. Empathy is a very important quality that nurses should cultivate and not everyone knows what it means or how to exercise it -- and yet it is the quality that is at the heart of caring teams (Wiseman, 1996). So what is empathy? Wiseman (1996) states that different people have different ideas about what it means: "listening, caring, understanding, valuing, feeling," for example, are some of the ways that nurses describe empathy (p. 1163). Yet there is an even better way to define empathy: the "projection of the self into the feelings of others," and "the power of entering into another's personality and imaginatively experiencing his experiences" (p. 1163). Others view it as "intellectual and emotional awareness," which also helps to deepen the concept and give it more dimension. These definitions effectively…...

Workplace Issues in Nursing
The authors of the article alongside observe that previous literature has explored the impacts of disaster management to distinct human resource development programs in an organization. It is identified that emergency management policies help in providing opportunities and broad structures involved in developing useful human resources' behavioral and technical skills in a firm. The approach allows for delivering the positive sense of the existing behavior driven by existing ethical values. Organizations can guide the conduct of nurses through embedding health and safety values in the culture. However, the organizational excellences are varied based on cultural traits such as providing viable sources of competitive advantage and casual ambiguity (Zhu, odgers & Melia, 2013). The globe continues to change rapidly while advancing the vast levels of organizations and changes in technological advancements. This also affects the human resource developments and programs. The authors hold that organizations are different in…...

Professional Identity and Stewardship
Having conducted an interview between me and a colleague who is a registered nurse working in the same hospital, there are several issues that stood out for me in terms of the professionalism and the ethics therein as well as the effect of the professional approach to nursing on the career or the daily work of the nurse. It also brought out the perspective that my colleagues have on the aspect of teamwork in nursing in general.

The nurse indicated that he was a member of several teams in the hospital but one that stood out for him was the quick response team that is more voluntary and f which he is the coordinator of communications and response. This team consists of energetic nurses who are willing to terminate even their holidays to attend to any emergency that may emerge and overwhelms the normal level of staff members.…...

In ancient times, the sick and the unwell were generally cared for in temples or other houses of worship, and this tradition continued until the early Christian era, when certain women of the Church would take up the care of the sick and the diseased people, and their services would sometimes be extended to their homes as well. These women of the Church had no real training at all, but they were experienced, and that is what mattered in those times. These were women who were extremely skilled in the use of various herbs and drugs, and they started to gain fame as 'physicians' in their era. In late years, nursing duties were undertaken by relatively uneducated and ignorant women, until the seventeenth century, when St. Vincent de Paul started to stress on the fact that these women must undertake some form of training if they were to…...

Essentially, given the extent and complexity that modernity has brought societal problems to the forefront of our attention, there is a real potential for the medical professional to be actively involved in the process of alleviating oppression and injustice on any number of fronts. Within personal development, the medical professional has the opportunity to touch a number of people on a daily basis, and through their own ability to mitigate, engender trust, advocate alternative and more permissive opinions, and act as an example of social change. A medical professional can offer social change through pro-bono work, particularly those who come from less than pristine backgrounds who have the ability to also show and act as an example. However, one of the finest ways of enacting social change is to change one's own paradigm so that rather than speaking about a way to live and interact with humanity, the medical…...

Nursing Fatigue
The following course objectives are being met by this project.

Analyze leadership & management roles in social systems; (performance)

This project specifically goes on to target the administration of the nursing homes as it works to improve the communication involving the administration and the nurses. I will meet this objective by showing how the management of the nursing homes is directly linked to the way the nurses perform in them. It implies that the more responsible nurses are about their duties and their responsibilities, the better management of the nursing home would be. This project shows that this problem has been present for a long time. Picking it out and coming up with a solution will achieve the desired results. Meeting this objective will not only affect a single-nursing home, but if this is successful, it can be applied throughout the community. Ultimately, this would lead to decrease in errors and…...

1. Define 3 types of leadership models (see page 463 in your text book or you may venture out and use other leadership models as well).Leadership is unique in that it is a discipline that can adapted for a given situation or circumstance. Generally speaking, a One-Size-Fits-All approach to leadership does not work well within a given organization or business. It is these diversity of leadership styles that allows different individuals to find motivation and encouragement in varying ways. This is becoming much more important due to globalization and a much more diverse workforce. Here, different cultures, personalities, values and beliefs can influence a given individuals leadership style. Generally speaking, western nations are much more autocratic in their styles of leadership with clear delineation of roles and responsibilities. In other countries is the eastern nations, they are much more collectivistic in nature and often looks to promote the group and…...

A Graduate-level nurse Practitioner program is very demanding. How do you intend to address the demands? The American healthcare system has been increasing in complexity, with future nursing professionals set to face an extremely challenging care delivery framework. Researchers hint at a continued rise in professional nursing staff shortage, with the nation’s aging population progressively increasing healthcare system demands (American Organization of Nurse Executives, 2008). Healthcare facilities will be hard-pressed to be more cost- and resource- efficient owing to financial pressures (National Advisory Council on Nurse Education and Practice, 2006). This paper will examine a few potential impacts of such demands that result in nursing staff burnout, followed by exploring potential triggers and coping plans.

Nursing Definitions
Autonomy

Autonomy in the nursing profession states the importance of the client's role in making decisions that reflect advocacy for the client (Wade, 1999, p.310). Ultimately, this includes taking care of the patient physically as well as mentally and emotionally, developing a relationship with the patient that is beneficial to his care and actively advocating for the patient's rights and care. This type of autonomy, it is important to note, is not the same as individual or work autonomy, yet it must be considered that empowerment in nursing autonomy will inevitably lead to better professional and personal autonomy and should also lead to increased job satisfaction (Wade, 1999, p.310).

Typical definitions of autonomy would include the idea of complete independence for the person making the decisions. However, in the case of the nursing profession, the client's needs and desires must be heavily weighed and, in fact, become central to the idea…...

As such, a nurse is primarily to recognize herself as an individual in the world, with certain responses to this world. When a patient enters the hospital, such a patient is also to be seen as a unique individual who responds to the world and his or her environment in a certain way.
Humanistic nursing is then primarily experiential rather than experimental. This means that new knowledge is gained with every new patient that arrives for treatment. In giving treatment, responses are observed and noted for future reference in similar situations. It is not however assumed that a treatment will work because it did in the past and in similar conditions. Instead, hypotheses are based upon experiences of the past. The recognition that hypotheses may prove incorrect helps the nurse to be open to new experiences. Each human being is then seen as a "world," as it were, with the…...

Like many stressful professions, nursing has a substance abuse problem.  Nurses are at a higher risk of substance abuse for a number of reasons.  First, the job is incredibly stressful.  Second, nurses have access to substances as part of their job.  However, while those reasons seem obvious, some of the other reasons that nurses may abuse substances are subtler.  They include physical pain, lack of addiction education, fatigue, and even gender.

Paradigm case studies are valuable tools for introducing and facilitating discussions in the nursing field because they offer real-life examples that nurses can relate to and learn from. These case studies provide a concrete context for discussing and analyzing complex nursing concepts and practices. They can help nurses develop critical thinking skills as they work through the nuances and ethical dilemmas presented in the case.

Additionally, paradigm case studies can help nurses apply theoretical knowledge to practical situations and improve their problem-solving abilities. By reflecting on and discussing the decisions made in the case study, nurses can learn from the experiences....
