Alhamwan, Mat, & Muala, (2015) found out that the turnover rate among nurses in the Jordanian health system was worse than in the United States. This is attributed to the difference in organization factors such as leadership style, career development and remuneration level. The organization factors are directly related to the intention to leave. The study focused on a cross-sectional survey of registered nurses in Jordan. The respondents were asked to fill out a five-point Likert scale…

continuous need for nurses began long before our time. No matter what age you are, if you have ever been the hospital or the doctor’s office, you were taken care of by a nurse. With her friendly smile and a polite introduction, she took care of you without any judgment as to why you came in and she did it willingly. With the right amount of determination and motivation, anyone who puts all of their hard work into it, can become a successful nurse. As a little girl, I had always…

The principle STEM concepts used in the development of the Nurse Rounds Monitor include a 30 minute timer programmed to a Multisim computer software. Using these technologies, the Nurse Rounds Monitor is setup to address the issue of patients being left unseen in an emergency room. After programming this computer software, each room will have a repeating thirty minute timer controlled by the nurses, only having to be calibrated monthly. There have been many cases of patients who have acquired…

decade has slowed the rise in nursing shortage numbers due to nurses either choosing to postpone retirement or returning to the work- force. However, this is considered to be only a temporary abatement of the impending shortage. It has been estimated that by the year 2025 the U.S. health care system will have a shortage of approximately 260,000 nurses (Buerhaus, Auerbach, & Staiger, 2009). The primary reason for the projected shortage of nurses is the aging of the nursing workforce leading to…

Nurses are the front line professional staffs in a health care organisation. Their role is to deliver high-quality services to patients. However, several studies have shown that nurses have a higher risk of developing emotional distress (Lindsay et al. 2008, Lim et al.2010, Laranjeira 2011). Hence, the primary aim of this study by Wang, S., Liu, Y. and Wang, L. (2015) is to investigate the level of burnout of clinical nurses and to examine the influence of personal and environmental factors on…

As hospice nurses spend vast amounts of time with family caretakers, they will undoubtedly witness the rising stress levels of these care-givers, especially when the terminally ill patient lingers on the border of death for months or years. As Reinhart states, “burnout is a syndrome of emotional exhaustion and cynicism that frequently occurs among those who spend considerable time in close encounters with others under conditions of chronic tension and stress” (Maslash & Jackson, 1979, p.59).…

During my second week of clinicals I followed the charge nurse before starting my shift in the Infusion center. The charge nurse begins her day by assigning the nursing staff, orientees, nursing students and assisted personnel (AP). She stated that she assigns the nurses and assisted personnel according to the patient’s needs. She proceeded by stating that she determines the patients’ needs, whether they are “C.N.A. busy or nurse busy”. This means that either, patients need help mainly with…

Nurses are magically as I say; they do incredible things that no one can explain. Most nurses play the role of superheroes because of all they provide for their patients. They are not only there to provide for them when they are sick, but support them throughout their journey. Not everyone is able to become of nurse, because of all it takes to become one. Those who are, change people’s lives in such a positive way, that no one will ever understand unless it is experienced. In the movie Wit,…

expectancy of the aging population and the emergence of complex diseases, patient safety and quality of care remains a priority across the health care settings; however, evidence reveals that nurses are not adequately prepared to meet the demands of clinical practice. According to Welding (2011) new nurses have difficulty performing practical skills and transitioning classroom knowledge into the new role. The purpose of this paper is to perform an organizational assessment of ECH Hospital, as…
