Competencies gained from this course will be found in foundations of nursing informatics with benchmarking, outcome probabilities, and expert decision support. Healthcare Project Management (N527PE) Healthcare project management shows methods of managing healthcare projects, aiding the strategic goals of the institution. This course will add to competencies in each of the areas listed under systems life cycle in my previous paper. The skills necessary for performing needs assessments, gap analysis, and feasibility analysis will be acquired as well as creating clinical and data work flow diagrams.
Sophie Bennett Bennett 1 10-12-16 Dr. Bayazitoglu English 1.4 “A Good Man” Imagine it is the 1930 and you are a African-American living in Alabama, where racial discrimination is huge. How would you live in this time? Many characters in To Kill A Mockingbird just follow how others act but some were able to go their own way and have their own opinions.
Ava Pieraccini 3/6/23 Ms. Mcesson In the timeless novel To Kill a Mockingbird, we follow the main character Scout, a six-year-old girl in the 1960s as she ages and matures during the Great Depression. The constant theme of loss of innocence immerges throughout the book during events of prejudice that rock Scout, and her small town. Because of these events and guidance from her father and neighbors, Scout grows and becomes more aware of others’ perspectives… choosing her path even if it contradicts her community or her original beliefs.
Critical Thinking: Tanner (2006), had introduce the term ‘thinking like a nurse’. When I read this article I was wondering what it means and takes to think like a nurse, I am a nurse by profession and yet I don’t even know what it means. In order to be a professional nurse, nurses are required to learn to think like a nurse. To my surprise, to be able think like a nurse, a nurse got to clearly defined and understands what is critical thinking and clinical reasoning. Both terms are powerful terms and these terms explain the mental processes nurses use to make certain that they are doing their most excellent thinking and decision making for their patient’s better outcomes.
Educational Preparation: Associate vs Baccalaureate Nurses Laly C. Kurian Grand Canyon University: Assignment Week 2 September 12, 2015 Preface The scope of this paper is to discuss the difference in competencies based on the education preparation. Even though there are various level education preparation for nurses ranging from vocational training to doctoral level, the differences in competencies between the Associate Nurse (ADN) and the Baccalaureate Nurse (BSN) are analyzed and compared. Competencies differences between Associate and Baccalaureate Nurses from the two different educational streams ADN and BSN, can prepare for National Council Licensure Examination and eventually become a Registered Nurse, but the educational curriculum
What criteria do you use to evaluate nursing theories? The criteria that I use to evaluate nursing theories include first, the alignment to my facility’s goals and vision. Second, assessment of the empirical relevance to the work being completed and how the theoretical framework aligns with type of nursing care that is to be provided (Chinn and Kramer, 2015). After this analysis the choice can then be made as to the theory that provides the best fundamental basis for nursing care for these conditions.
I will summarize each outcome for the Nursing Informatics specialty. For the intent of this paper I will use outcome and competency interchangeably. The first outcome means the ability to gather healthcare information across the continuum of care; combine and utilize the information gathered to develop a process. Finally execution of that process to evaluate its ability to improve the quality of the healthcare environment. Healthcare managers are constantly assessing patients and collecting information.
The nursing process also called the problem-solving approach originated in 1967 and consists of four stages; assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation (APIE) (Yura and Walsh, 1967). However, Barrett et al (2012) reasons, two further stages need to be considered within the problem-solving approach meaning APIE becomes ASPIRE, the systematic nursing diagnosis and recheck complete the acronym ASPIRE. Barrett et al (2012) also states, to be fully successful in meeting the needs of the individual a nursing model needs to be incorporated in to the process to ensure every aspect of information is considered. McKenna (2006) indicates there are numerous nursing models that are used
Introduction Merle Mishel (1988), a middle-ranged theorist is known for her research for uncertainty and its management for chronic and life-threatening illnesses. Merriam-Webster (2011) defines uncertainty as; something not being certain; a state or quality of being uncertain: doubt. Mishel (1988) has an uncertainty in illness theory and defined uncertainty as not having the ability to distinguish the meaning associated with illness-related events occurring when the decision maker is unable to assign definite value to objects or events, or is unable to predict outcomes accurately (Mishel, 1988). McCormick (2002) states that a state of uncertainty is a major component of all illness understandings and it affects psychosocial adaptation and outcomes of disease. Uncertainty is the inability to determine the sense of illness-related events, occurring when the decision maker is unable to assign definite value to objects or events, or is unable to predict outcomes accurately (Mishel, 1988).
“More highly educated nursing workforce is critical to meeting the nation’s nursing needs and delivering safe, effective patient care….. Without a more educated nursing workforce, the nation’s health will be further at risk (Tri-council for Nursing, 2010).” As the acuity of the patient increases daily, so is the need for increases of higher education for nurses. The factor of increasing complexity of patient health require higher education for the liability of safe practice, thus is an agreeable requirement for employers to place upon the employees. Acquiring a bachelor’s degree is only an improvement for everyone.
Any given ward or healthcare environment may choose to implement a nursing model to guide its practice and philosophy. The theoretical framework of Orem’s model can aid knowledge based practice (Anonymous, 2010). As the model encompasses all aspects of the nursing process and acknowledges deficits that are not only a problem at ward level , but for the person post discharges , it is helpful in delivery quality, holistic, care from admission to discharge, allowing for discharge planning. Due to this approach we can derive that the model is beneficial to delivering care at all
Self-Regulation and the New Registered Nurse Introduction self-regulation is Understanding self-regulation is an important In this paper, self-regulation in relation to nursing practice and quality assurance will be explored. Self-regulation of RN Practice As with many other professions, registered nursing is a self-regulated profession. The purpose of regulation is to ensure that professionals practice in a safe, competent and ethical manner (CNO, 2014, pp. 3).
Self-Regulation and the New Registered Nurse Introduction The nursing profession has been self-regulating in Ontario since 1963. Self-regulation is a privilege granted to professions that have shown they can put the interest of the public ahead of their own professional interests. It recognizes that Ontario’s nurses have the knowledge and expertise to regulate themselves as individual practitioners and to regulate their profession through the college (“What is CNO?”, 2018). Proactive self-regulation involves establishing learning goals, strategies to address goals, monitor progress of goals, creation of environments conducive to learning, and maintenance of self-efficacy (Zimmerman & Schunk, 2011).
Since the spread of formal schooling and education in human societies, fostering cognitive abilities, such as understanding, reasoning, critical thinking, creativity, problem-solving and judgment has been highlighted [1]. Problem-solving is an essential skill in today’s life [2]. Problem-solving is a goal-directed thinking [3]. It is a mental process, some logical, orderly, intellectual thinking that helps cope with problems, search several solutions and choose the best solution [4]. According to Moshirabadi, problem-solving is a systematic process and a problem-focused situation analysis that indicates the ability of individuals to overcome obstacles and to achieve goals.
