issues and Trends in Nursing Profession

            Question One

What do you think about the current image of nursing?

Studies conducted by scholars in the field of professional nursing have shown evidence of the public’s lousy image of nurses (Cruickshank, Paliadelis, Gazula & McAllister, 2018). In many reports, people admit to perceiving nurses are inferior to other medical professionals such as general practitioners, surgeons, and even dentists (Cruickshank, Paliadelis, Gazula & McAllister, 2018). Thus, many people view a nurse as a second-class professional as compared to a doctor.

Among members of the society, nursing as a profession is considered weaker compared to medicine (Masters, 2018). News of striking nurses from many countries around the world have painted an even fainter picture of the profession because students are scared of choosing a course that doesn’t pay when joining university (Cruickshank, Paliadelis, Gazula & McAllister, 2018).

Thus, people view nurses as underpaid professional, and therefore not many people grow up aspiring to become a nurse in the future. However, there is a paradigm shift where communities are embracing the nursing profession and getting to appreciate and respect nurses. This paradigm shift has come along with increased personalized care and home healthcare nurses.

Question Two

What factors facilitate professional role development in Nursing?

Several factors facilitate professional role development in nursing. These include better continued learning programs in many hospitals, a significant increase in the number of nurses offering at-home care services, increased nursing certification measures by state and Federal governments, and graduate trainee programs by many healthcare institutions (Gunn et al., 2019).

Increased use of modern technologies is also playing a part in facilitating professional role development in nursing by requiring licensed nurses to get continuous training and learning of the new inventions in healthcare (Gunn et al., 2019). A combination of these factors reflects a bright future of the nursing profession. 

Artificial intelligence, telehealth, robotics and 3D-printing in medicine are some of the cornerstone technologies shaping the future of nursing. These technologies will allow nurses to personalize healthcare services for each client. This personalization will in turn lead to increased quality of healthcare services, reduction in hospitalization costs and reduced medication errors (Gunn et al., 2019). The end results will be a drastic increase in the overall quality of healthcare services by professional nurses.

Healthcare system

Physicians and other providers of clinical care play a key role in delivery of healthcare.  With the various models of reimbursement and goals of cost containment, the role of the physician in managing patient care has changed.   Describe two reimbursement models and the role of the physician in each model. How do government and private insurers influence how physicians practice today? Why is accurate and complete documentation in the electronic health record important to reimbursement and quality of care? What other members of the healthcare team who do not provide direct care to patients contribute to cost containment and delivery of healthcare services 

NOTE: Use at least two scholarly references and cite using APA format.

I need a comment of this post no plagio 150 words for today please

The American Nurses Association determines scopes and standards of practice and implements them for all nurses. These scopes and standards are universal guidelines for all specialties (ANA, 2015).When developing standards and scopes, leaders in specialty nursing organizations begin by asking six key questions: “Who?Identify numbers of nurses, professional organization/society, and educational preparation.” “What?Explain the unique contributions of generalist and advanced practice registered nurses.” “When?Determine when these specialty nurses are needed.” “Where? Describe practice environments in sufficient detail to understand specialty practice.” “Why? Determine what niche or gap is filled; the historical perspective of the development of the specialty; current issues and future trends in health care that point to the need for the specialty.” “How? Identify the process to become this type of nurse specialist, including development through formal education, continuing education, and practice experiences. Address use of the nursing process and the Code of Ethics” (ANA, 2015). 

The Oregon Nurse Practice Act consists of Oregon Revised Statutes, chapter 678.010-678.445 (laws) and Oregon Administrative Rules, chapter 851 (rules). Any revisions are made by the Oregon State Legislature. There are in-person board meetings where the rule making occurs and rule divisions undergo periodic review (OSBN, n.d.).

The standards of practice influence my nursing practice by offering a guideline and special parameters for practicing safe care. I have the responsibility to follow these standards not only for safe patient care, but to embody professionalism and satisfy the expectations of the entity I work for. These standards are also ways to measure my competency as a nurse as long as I am practicing within my scope of practice.

In developing your PowerPoint, take into consideration the health care literacy level of your target audience, as well as the demographic of the caregiver/patient (socioeconomic level, language, culture, and any other relevant characteristic of the caregiver) for which the presentation is tailored

Include the following in your presentation: Describe the selected environmental factor. Explain how the environmental factor you selected can potentially affect the health or safety of infants. Create a health promotion plan that can be presented to caregivers to address the environmental factor and improve the overall health and well-being of infants. Offer recommendations on accident prevention and safety promotion as they relate to the selected environmental factor and the health or safety of infants. Offer examples, interventions, and suggestions from evidence-based research. At least three scholarly resources are required.

Competency 6

 

Consider your experiences at work, school, and in your personal life. You have, at some point, been asked to work with a group to achieve a particular goal. It might have been a group research project, a new marketing plan, a learning plan, a schedule to roll out new technology, planning a wedding, or even planning and creating a large family meal. In many collaborative efforts like these, there are disagreements. Select one collaborative experience from your past that involved some disagreements or significant differences of opinion.

Write a short (2-page) paper in APA style discussing the following elements: Describe the project that you were working on, including the people involved. Explain the problem that you encountered with the group. How was that problem overcome? What was the end result of encountering and dealing with that problem? What do you think was the cause of the problem? How much of the problem came from miscommunication, either from you or from other people involved? What did you do to help resolve the problem? If you were able to relive that experience, how would you change the way that you approached the encountered problem? How would you communicate differently? How, ultimately, was the conflict resolved?
