Decent Essays
Justin, I really enjoy your power point presentation of this book. First of all, Justin, you presented an excellent, intriguing, and motivating power point. As I was going through your power point, I see this book contain valuable, but important ideas on how people can improve themselves as a person. Habit number three especially drew my attention. We as people have a tendency of failing to recognize our priorities in life. People must understand to be successful in life, some things must be eliminated from their path. I?m a prime example of disorganization. I knew if I wanted to be an adult-gerontology acute care nurse practitioner, I had to reevaluate my strategies in order to obtain this goal.

    I have been called to testify in front of a regulatory committee that is reviewing the credentialing and clinical privilege rules for Advance Nurse Practitioners. APN credentialing refers to a process whereby an advanced practice nurse is granted the authority to offer patient care especially in hospital settings after establishing that he/she has met all the established standards in relation to education, licensure, skills as well as training and is qualified to execute the task (Hamric et al., 2013). Notably, the Advance Nurse Practitioners can order, administer or dispense drugs under the delegated authority of the physician and as dictated by the agreement or protocol. However, in the state of Georgia, they have no authority to issue written…

    Advance Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) and a registered nurse (RN) are mandated to follow the regulations in their states of practice. In terms of regulations, an APRN has focused scope of practice which has limitation to practice, unlike the RNs with broad scope of practice (Hudspeth,2009). In the state of Texas, an APRN practices in areas beyond the scope of the RN, such as diagnosing and prescribing. For instance, once an APRN is educationally prepared as an acute care NP, the practice can only be acute and not primary care setting except further education is provided to practice in primary care setting, this believed, that the APAN does not have the didactic and clinical content to practice in a different area (Texas board of nurses…

    The role of the Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN), in relation to administering immunizations within underserved populations, is vital. The APRN should be responsible for overseeing the implementation of the program, administering vaccinations, and informing their patients of the benefits of immunization. Perhaps a mobile clinic may be utilized and incentives may be offered for compliance. According to Bradford, Spain, Wright, and Gren, the main causes of poor immunization rates is missed opportunities by the provider and poor compliance with appointments (2015). The objectives should be to: Increase the vaccination rates of individuals within indigent populations (this may be measured by reviewing the amount of vaccinations provided…

    The State of Texas currently has many restrictions on Advance Practice Registered Nurses (APRN). We are one of thirty-two states in the United States that require Nurse Practitioners to work in a collaborative/supervisory relationship with a physician. Connecticut recently became the 18th state to allow Nurse Practitioners to practice independently (Lowes, 2014). Bill SB 751 for the 84th legislature was introduced by Senator Jose Rodriguez. This bill is aimed at granting Nurse Practitioners in our state autonomy from physician supervision and full prescriptive authority.…

    The Advanced Practice Registered Nurse Dilemma The U.S. healthcare system has been swayed by the creation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) reform (Public Law 111-148). This reform necessitates an increased amount of primary care providers outside of the traditional realm of medical doctors (MDs) and presents opportunities for advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) to provide primary care. It therefore promotes the full scope of practice for APRNs to improve patient care and decrease the healthcare costs by increasing the educational and financial support for primary care providers, including nurse practitioners and physician assistants (American Nurses Association, 2010). Organizations, such as American Nurses Association, work diligently with Constituent Member (State) Associations to protect the abilities of APRNs to ensure that state laws are fair and consistent throughout the country and limitations are not inflicted over the scope of practice of APRNs (ANA, n.d.).…

    The evolution of advanced nursing practice has been influenced by changes in healthcare delivery, financial constraints and consumer demand. Also as the result of the Affordable Care Act implementation, diversity changes already occur in the health care system. Nurses like me, from old school have to adapt to the new electronic world and innovative-technologic changes. As an advanced nurse practitioner is vital to acquire the competencies and skills necessaries to function appropriate. Nurses are the front line of defense to the new challenges in the healthcare system (Wagner, 2014).…

    Breakdown of the Educational Requirements of an Advanced Practice Nurse The educational path of an advance practice registered nurse (APRN) requires a great deal of time, education, training, experience, and dedication. The first step in becoming an APRN is obtaining either a two-year Associates Degree in Nursing (ADN) or a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing (BSN), which takes an average of two to four years of combined didactic courses and clinical hours to complete, depending on the initial educational path chosen. Those who start with an ADN will need to obtain a BSN prior to applying for an APRN program, as this is a prerequisite. Once this is completed, the nurse will need to become registered.…

    Before I began my Freshman Development Seminar course with Professor Furet, I believed that this class would not be of good use to me. The reason for this was because of my beliefs in self-teaching myself to learn the basics with additional help from other sources. However, it did not turn out the way I wanted it to be. Therefore, I had to pay to get taught what I could have done on my own, at least that is what I convinced myself then and there. Throughout my class sessions with Ms. Furet, I learned more than I could have ever imagined.…

    In a real world, when we wake up, we do the same type of things every day. Some people eat the same type of food, wear the same type of outfits, have the same hairstyles; many people repeat the same type of thinking pattern, and often the same types of small decisions we make in our lives. We have been doing these things for so long that we don’t even realize that they are the sum of our habits, and that’s what leads us to what we are today. Habits are what build our life and character. Habits are different from person to person.…
