The competency standards are useful in a way not only to access the professional markup for the license of registered nurse, but is also intended to maintain the standard of nursing (Chiarella, 2008). The prime objective of a nurse is to be involved in planning, assessment, identification, evaluation and implementation of specific health concern or health conditions within the working department.

As a child I always dreamt of becoming a nurse, and after having my three children young I am now in the position to be able to fulfil my dreams. My husband and family are very encouraging and supportive. I have gained a great deal of life experience working with adults. I worked as a senior care assistant for six years in an EMI residential home, where I was in a position of great responsibility and dealt with many professionals along the way, and dealt with many emergency situations.

No matter the environment advanced practice nurses serve in, patients obtain quality individualized care. Primary care environments are commonly the first place where rare diseases or conditions become identified through an array of testing from diagnostics to laboratory collections.

I miss you so much. As you know I am a Confederate nurse. I love it. I get to help in the war without fighting. I wish women were allowed to be doctors. The hospitals and field station are so so small and have limited supplies. There are many other women here working as nurses. They seem nice but hospitals are so chaotic and disorganized. The confederate just had a huge battle that I need to tell you about. It is the battle of Antietam. I am called that because it is next to Antietam Creek…

Megan, You did an excellent job on recognizing the need for family nurse practitioners (FNPs) to assist in identifying problems and possible solutions for the patient population that they are caring for. It is vital that nurses consider the whole patient when developing a plan of care for the individual. The care provider has the obligation to care for the entire patient. Understanding human behavior is very intriguing. Your reference to the framework followed in this study was important in…

a doctor since I was young but as I reached high school, people were telling me more and more about the difficulties of the lifestyle that most physicians, especially for women and especially in regards to having a family. I was told I should be a nurse or a PA instead but I was still sure about wanting to be a physician.

patient discontent due to their nurses being too occupied to aid them. When ill people go to a hospital, they are expecting to get sufficient care and heal relatively quickly. Although nurses intend to give their patients the best care they can, it is not always possible. They have numerous patients that require full attention, and they are running on a short amount of rest. Taking care of eight patients a day while working a twelve-hour shift can be a strain on the nurses and can cause their…

many adjustments new nurses must make as they begin their new roles as registered nurses with Bachelor’s degrees, from how to maintain their licenses according to the state licensing board to making sure that they are up-to-date with new policies in the health care facility. As new nursing grads prepare for their first jobs following graduation, there is always significant emphasis placed on the procedures and policies of the health care facility in order to help new nurses acclimate to their…

nursing clinicals, I found that nurses play a big role in all departments of the hospital including surgery, rehab, and labor and delivery. One of the departments where nurses play a big role is surgery. Yes, surgeons are the ones that actually do the surgery, but they are not the only people in the room. As stated by FORTIS College, there are three main positions for surgical nurses: scrub…
