empirical concept closely aligns to the ‘knowing-that’ components of Rolfe and Brenner’s. Her empirical model consists of retention of facts, descriptors, and exemplars just as one might describe many of the academic learning outcomes of the novice nurse (Carper, 1997). An additional author, Dr. M. Luntley (2011) incorporates 'knowing-that' in the foundations of his nursing knowledge concept of epistemic conservatism. He declares…

Being a single parent, with no job skills and working a dead-end job is no easy task. I was living paycheck to paycheck and that wasn’t good enough for me. I decided to go to college, to better myself. At least my daughter could see; if you set your mind to it, you can accomplish goals you set for yourself, no matter what you’re going through. My first work experience was as a CNA at a nursing home. I have seen patients at their worst. I thought if I knew more about what was going on with them…

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…

read that there was a nurse who was responsible for monitoring the participants throughout the syphilis study. Upon further research, I found that the nurse, Eunice Rivers, was born to a poor, working class family. Although she lost her mother at age 15, she was put through nursing school by her hardworking father who wanted a better life for his daughter. After graduating from the Tuskegee Institute’s School of Nursing in 1922, she spent her early career as a travel nurse aiding deprived…

published recommendations on the targeted temperature management for post cardiac arrest hypothermia. The goal was to improve patient outcomes. Nurses in critical care from the Emergency Department to the Intensive Coronary Care Unit are invaluable in the implementation of Therapeutic Hypothermia (TH). The knowledge and experience of the critical care nurse at the bedside and in the advance practice role is essential to positive outcomes for TH patients post cardiac arrest (Goldstein, 2012).…

your organization. Since the beginning of the year, staffing has been a major concern. 85 to 90 percent of the regular staff left, causing a big issue for the organization. Sick calls are still a big problem. The biggest problem is that the agencies’ nurses and CNA’s are qualified for the job, but they did not receive any training from your organization, making their task very difficult and patients’ care is in jeopardy. The agencies, when they come one day, and find out that the workload is…

Debra, I agree that advanced practice nurses need to understand billing requirements and how to work to the highest level of their license. Innovative nurse-led clinics can provide quality care for patients, understanding billing practices, how they apply to payment from insurance companies and current state and federal laws for practice are imperative. Currently the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) have stringent laws about how nurse practitioners can be paid. There are three avenues…
