1.) What do you believe are the three most pressing issues facing nursing associations today. Be descriptive in your analysis. • Marketing Issues- If nurses do not know about the nursing associations available to them how are they supposed to join?
Hi Jacque, I just wanted to respond to your question in regards to the facility that I am currently in. The nurse role is different in this setting because it appears that she has the majority of the responsibility because most of the staff work under her license, she is responsible for all of the education and delegation of tasks to staff such as insulin, medication administration, blood glucose checks, ect.. This is different from the hospital setting because she is responsible for not only the residents nursing care and coordination of care between outside facilities but also education and delegation to staff as well. I found an interesting journal article related to Nurses and assisted living facilities that discusses in depth the nurse
The four spheres of political action in nursing are government, workplace, professional organizations, and community. They are all interrelated and interconnected. The government enacts policies that govern and affect all spheres. Healthcare policies are often made to ensure access, quality, and affordability of care. It determines the scope of nursing practice at a state level.
In the public eye, in order to be truly successful one would have to become a doctor. The media source from the medical drama house also shows the false image of the inferior uneducated nurse. They showed this by the physician saying things such as “It’s better than calling a nurse,” implying that they are uneducated and beneath them when that is not the case. Nursing is a completely different field, and requires a specific skills set. A majority of the tasks the public see physicians do in the television dramas are nursing tasks.

The rise of nurses during the progressive era was in response to the overpopulated, and unsanitary conditions of the cities. The job of a nurse was to stop the spread of diseases in the community. Lillian Wald coined the term “public health nurse”. Passionate about helping others, she taught nursing classes to immigrants and lower income families.
To begin, there is a general lack of knowledge or understanding regarding the policy-making process. Also, RNs and APRNs might not be familiar with the political environment, how policies are developed, or how to interact successfully with policymakers. Milstead and Short (2019) note that health professionals are often requested to participate in committees that provide policymakers guidance. Next, other healthcare professionals or policymakers who do not regard RNs and APRNs as reliable authorities of healthcare policy may oppose them. Furthermore, Anders (2020) sought to present an analysis of certain barriers nurses may encounter regarding participation in health
Overall, these professional can provide information that is pertinent to understanding this complex process. As nurses we must be politically active in our community. Speaking with representatives and even considering actual experience in government offices can help to understand how policies and acts are passed along while also understanding the functions of the government. As nurses we work in areas of direct and indirect patient care involving families, patients, groups, and communities. We seek information at all levels to implement interventions aimed towards our patients.
Framework for Praxis The author is pursuing the Pediatric Primary Care Nurse Practitioner (PNP-PC) course. In order for nurses to be able to assess and manage their patients, they should be able to effectively synthesize knowledge (Higgs, Burn, & Jones, 2011). This paper aims to provide a succinct discussion of the ideological, theoretical, and ethical framework that influences the author’s praxis. Furthermore, this paper will discuss how the author’s philosophical viewpoint and theoretical framework affect how she views her phenomenon of interest on newborn screening for critical congenital heart defects (CCHD).
Nursing managers and leaders play a critical role in influencing the safety and quality of healthcare services on offer as well as the business of healthcare institutions. The managers and leaders individually strive towards influencing the behavior of the rest of the nursing personnel to provide direct, professional and individualized nursing care. Thus, although both of them play a mediated role, their responsibilities and style of accomplishing tasks within a health organization may differ. In practice, nursing managers and leaders are likely to employ significantly different approaches in identifying and exploiting resources within an institution and in resolving issues that may be threatening the operations of a healthcare institution.
The healthcare system, specifically nursing, has always had a major influence in my life. I come from a family of nurses and have seen healthcare from an inside point of view as a

Philosophy of Nursing Everyone’s values and beliefs about the profession of nursing are all different. The four concepts of nursing are interrelated and all mean something different to every person, too. Throughout this paper, I will be reflecting on my values and beliefs about nursing through the four concepts while comparing them to a nursing theorist with views that are most similar to my own.
This paper is a critique of the research article titled, Hospital Nurses’ Lived Experience of Power. Currently there are 4.1 million licensed registered nurses in the United States, representing a potentially powerful workforce (as cited in Budden, Zhong, Moulton, & Cimiotti, 2013). The number of RN’s in the hospital setting indicates a need for understanding meaning and experience of power from the perspective of clinical nurses. Despite the awareness of the nursing workforce, power held by the nurse is an infrequent study. The purpose of the study was to explore hospital nurses’ lived experience of power, which focused on, “what is the lived experience of power to hospital clinical nurses; and what is the meaning of power to hospital clinical
An excellent example of this process would be the cumulative voices of all kinds of nurses in the state of Georgia (and in many other states around the nation) currently fighting in the political arena for Full Practice Authority. Though nurses can easily see the global benefit of increasing access to primary care (as well as other specialties where APRNs can and do practice) to more Georgians, empowerment can be used to garner widespread support for such policies by helping law makers to make personal connections with outcomes of expanded APRN practice initiatives as well as connections to the lives of their constituents.
