The Ontology of SNPPM is about studying the role of NPs in the healthcare setting and how they can still maintain their nursing knowledge and identity while working in variety of health care settings. The epistemology of the theory is based on theories from different disciplines that were reformulated to express a philosophical approach to SNPPM. According to Shuler, the primary theoretical basis was based on wellness nursing theory by Clark and nursing process (Shuler & Davis,…
Great discussion on Shuler Nurse Practitioner Practice Model (SNPPM) and importance of NP-patient relationship. The idea that one type of treatment plan will work for everyone results in patient not completing planned therapy. As NP we need to assess patient knowledge about their health condition and their motivation in treatment plan. As future APRNs, it is important to encourage patient participation in planning and implementing treatment plans to reduce non-complaint with treatment. Also, when patient take part in developing their own care plan they feel responsible for their…
The American Organization of Nurse Executives (AONE) indicate that, excellent leadership is crucial to ensure outstanding patient care. As a leader, the Nurse administrator (NA) is required to acquire the necessary competences to help them in their careers. The core competencies required for the NA include but not limited to communication and relationship-building, knowledge of the health care environment, leadership, professionalism, and business skills (AONE, 2011). According to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN), the adult-gerontology primary care nurse practitioner (NP) applies evidence to provide patient-centered quality care to adults and older adults population.…
However, the National Council of State Boards of Nursing continues work to reach a mutually agreed upon consensus model, which clarifies the role of the APRN, standardizes basic entry level education programs, and most importantly unifies legal recognition across jurisdiction. Systems Model and Model of patient care delivery by the…
The role of Nurse Practitioner (NP) is among the four recognized Advanced Practice Registered Nurse roles. NPs are independent practitioners with prescriptive privileges, and are found in a variety of healthcare settings, including hospitals, family and specialty practices, as well as in nursing homes. Additionally, and importantly, in these times of corporate driven medicine, NP’s can bill and be reimbursed for services rendered (McClelland, 2014). The four concepts of the nursing metaparadigm; health, person, environment, and nursing practice, overlap and combine to form the foundation for nursing knowledge, theory and practice at all levels including the advanced clinical practice level (Bender & Feldman, 2015).…
They are prepared in many aspects such as management, research and scholastically. The APRN must advocate and become involved in improving the profession. They must educate entry level nurses, the public and policy makers to truly make a change in the way policy is driven. The MSN and DNP nurse can bring research and best evidence based practices to the table, which certainly affects the way care is provided. Hain and Feck (2014) state that the NP must take a “outcome driven approach to care” by presenting innovating NP models of care, and showing that those models lead to improved outcomes in patient populations (Hain and Feck, 2014).…

With the hot sun beating down on my skin I make my way through the two large double doors. Pushing my way in I immediately feel a cool rush of air on my face and see a front desk with a sign on it reading “Hartford Hospital”. The pastel blue chairs in the corner immediately catch my eye, but I don’t get a chance to take a seat. John Sterling comes up to me. “Hey I’m John”, he says excitedly with his curly brown hair and startlingly bright blue eyes.…

Throughout my nursing career, I have come across numerous changes affecting nursing practice; at one point some of them were the most suitable and acceptable methods, but years later they became an unscholarly or unacceptable way of providing patient care. For example, the Advanced Cardiac Life Support ( ACLS ) guidelines have been updated multiple times since I became certified in this skill. Conversely, just comparing the previously accepted acronym "ABC" which stands for airway, breathing, circulation with the current updated one "CAB," the implementation of this significant modification had the most paramount impact on life-saving cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Therefore, the research has revealed that every minute of delayed compressions…
1. The plan to become a nurse practitioner in my future. Nurse practitioners or NPs are advanced practice registered nurses who provide care to patients throughout the lifespan, from infants to the elderly. NPs provide primary and some acute care and are qualified to meet the majority of patients' health care needs. Just like a physician, a nurse practitioner can prescribe medications, perform minor surgeries and procedures, physical exams, diagnostic tests, and many others responsibilities.…
Tomlin, and Mary Ann P. Swain. Their theory “is an interpersonal and interactive holistic theory of nursing that requires the nurse to assess, plan, and intervene on the basis of the client’s perspective of the world” (George, 2011, Chapter 20, The Theory of Modeling and Role-Modeling). Nightingale also felt that it was important to discuss with the patient what their views were of their illness in an open ended way, careful not to lead the patient in any way. She also noted how important assessment and observation were to the patient’s overall care.…

The Professional Nurse: Past. Present, and Future While pondering what comprises a professional nurse, a few things come to mind. A professional nurse should have empathy, first and foremost. The professional nurse should also be knowledgeable since the profession has no room for error. She or he should be able to communicate with patients as well as other health care professionals.…
