Why Nurse Transfer

Decent Essays
The reasons for my transfers is that I hope to get into a Nursing Program. As a hemophilia patient, I self-inject three times a week, I also record days of injections and the unit taken. if any injuries occur I change the dosage of the medication and I have to report all of this to the hemophilia center every month. Since I was a little kid my Doctors, nurses, family, friends, and others that I talked to have encouraged me into entering the field of nursing. I have been a patient for a long time and I understand the need for nurses, especially nurses like the ones that I had the privilege of having. When I first entered college I didn't know what I really wanted to do, so I got an associate's degree in General Studies, after finishing my associate

    My journey first began when I decided to attend The University of Iowa in the fall of 2013 after graduating from Urbandale High School. I attended Iowa for 2 years and then when it came time to choose where I would apply to nursing school at I was stuck between wanting to continue on at Iowa’s College of Nursing, pending on my acceptance, but also needing a change in my life. I decided to choose change and Mercy College of Health Sciences presented an opportunity for just that. There is a program offered at Mercy College of Health Sciences (MCOHS) that was too good for me to pass up. My current focus has been on achieving my BSN and the program I had heard about was fairly new but provided an opportunity for me to get my BSN while doing it in only 2 short years.…

Shortly thereafter I ended up getting a divorce, and my life kind of fell apart, to include the death…

    Donna, the program that you developed sounds like a great model that could be used by other nursing units in both long term and acute care settings, and I applaud your efforts. All too often, and for reasons I do not understand, nurses do tend to eat their own. My employer does have similar programs for nurses and nursing assistant staff. We also provide for a day of job shadowing to allow applicants the time and experience to understand what their role will be on each unit of the acute care hospital before they accept the position. Tilden et al., 2012 also link all levels of nursing staff turnover rates in long term care facilities to the quality of end-of-life care provided by the facility.…

    After working as a computer programmer for 13 years, I found myself without a job when I was laid off as jobs were outsourced to countries outside of the United States. I thought it would be relatively easy to find another job, but soon found the market was saturated with new graduates willing to do the same work for less money.

Although there have been nights with little sleep, tears, and many meals of scrambled eggs, grilled cheese, or cold cereal, I have never regretted going back.…

    I agree with you that the nurse administrator needs to find ways to maintain their workforce due to the cost of hiring new nurses and to reduce turnover rate. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation funded the RN Work Project for 10 years, which is a longitudinal panel study in the United States showed, that the 1-year turnover rate among all newly licensed RNs was 17.5%, and the 2-year turnover rate was 33.5%. Newly licensed nurse turnover is lower in hospitals than in other healthcare settings, such as ambulatory or long-term care, because newly licensed nurses typically seek hospital jobs (Stokowski, 2014). Our hospital encourages the nursing staff to further their education by offering tuition reimbursement, incentives of $1, 000 for nursing…
