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…

Before an APRN graduate, it is imperative to apply information learned to develop a personal development plan (PDP). The PDP is a strategy on how the APRN will be presented genuinely and to know their importance within the health care system. Therefore, this blueprint will identify the regulations and requirements…
As a future register nurse and as a woman I feel that a have a tremendous responsibility to give back to my community. I believe that one of the most forgotten populations in our community is the elderly, and as a society we have so much to learn from them and to thank them for what they did in the past. I strongly believe that if I could make some positive changes I would decide to do them to influence some senior citizens’ lives and to change their isolation for companion and thankfulness. I would advocate for the elderly with our authorities and I would request a budget to build a clinic to provide preventive health care services for them. I would designate a budget to build a nursing home for the elderly that do not have a place to…

Close to the end of my shift, a nurse approached the pharmacy asking us to do a medication reconciliation on a patient who had recently been admitted to the floor. This had been his second time being admitted to the hospital in the last week so he was no stranger to the floor. Dr. Johnson explained to me that since he was a recent admit, she could print his past medication list from his last visit and we could use that as a guide for our reconciliation.
