Due research indicating a need, programs that target the transition experience of children with special health care needs are appearing all over the world at an increasing rate. Unfortunately, the youth of these programs leaves a gap in the literature indicating the appropriate interventions needed in these programs. The DNP project “Tracking S.M.A.R.T. Transitions: A Program Evaluation” aims to decrease this gap in knowledge of how to best organize and evaluate transition programs. The tools created for the program evaluation are important to patient care as they offer a means to evaluate other transition programs through a systematic and organized manner not noted in other transition literature.

    My goal as an FNP would be to broaden my scope of practice and understanding in my role as a healthcare provider. Knowing that advancing my education will afford me the privilege to work with more independence and autonomy to diagnose, treat and prescribe to my clients while planning their cares and evaluating wellness strategies to help them attain optimal health. Being well-rounded and diverse in my ability to evaluate and treat many different age groups and populations would be another goal accomplished through my career as an FNP; as well as gaining the ability to advance and practice my leadership and communication skills through developing, implementing and assessing plans for patients and through my interaction with coworkers.

    Introduction Transitions in life can be hard to adapt to if the person is ill-prepared, there are some transitions that can be expected and others which takes people by surprise. The transition from the home life to the hospital is often unexpected and most patients will have a hard time adjusting to the environment.

An episodic health challenge is an abrupt change in life where one requires the assistance of nurses to provide care for him/her to facilitate recovery from chronic or severe illness. I will be using a pseudonym such as Mr.X to conceal the identity of the patient and to address his two son, one will be named Bob and the other Tom.…

    I have learned many things that may help me in my future career working with children and young people who are going through transitions such as going into foster care. Transitions have broaden my knowledge and will benefit me in the future. Knowing about the Common Assessment Framework has helped me gain knowledge of the needs that has to be met in order to develop into healthy human beings.

    Children who struggle with a physical injury or disability often find they need extra help, and pediatric physical therapist assistants (PTAs) may be the ones to provide this help. A physical therapist assistant works under the guidance of a physical therapist to help child become independent when they suffer from a disability or physical injury. The therapist doesn't take on tasks for the child, but works with the child to show him or her a way they can tackle the job on their own, so they can become more independent and do more for themselves. The therapist assistant works with the child, the supervising therapist, his or her parents and other adults in the child's life to develop an individualized treatment plan, one that meets the unique needs of the child. Often, this therapy takes place in a school setting, thus school therapists are becoming more common.…

    Part 1 of The Children and Families Act 2014 contains provisions to go through with proposals made in ‘An Action Plan for Adoption: Tackling Delay’ (Department of Education, 2012). The government has made investments of four and half million pounds to end delays for children awaiting adoption; 4,060 children had an adoption decision but were not yet placed at 31 March 2015), on average adoption delays of one year and nine months (Department of Education, 2015). Longer delays were caused by seeking a perfect or partial ethnic match for the child. Charles et al (1992) and Thoburn et al (2000) highlighted that Black Minority Children remained amongst the most difficult children to place, on average delays being up to one year longer.…

    WHAT The Transitional year is widely regarded to be the most challenging period in a novice Registered Nurses ' journey.

A number of factors contribute to transition shock for the newly graduated RN. These can be broken into four domains: emotional, physical, intellectual and socio-developmental.…

    The Transitions Theory, a middle range theory, will be used as a guide throughout the DNP project. The Transitions Theory, as cited in McEwen and Wills (2014), began with the recognition of the “experiences that humans face as they deal with changes relating to health, well-being, and their ability to care for themselves.” McEwen and Wills (2014) continued to emphasize the interaction between the nurse and patients in this process and the role of the nurse in developing health promotion and therapeutic interventions to assist in the experiences. Just as in young adults transitioning from pediatric to adult primary care, the providers will assist in the transitional process to initiate and guide the process. The theory recognizes three main…
