Rosemarie Rizzo Parse 's theory of humanbecoming focuses on quality of life as well nurses providing "true presence" to patients. Merriam-Webster defines presence as "the fact or condition of being present; the part of space within one 's immediate vicinity; a noteworthy quality of poise and effectiveness (Presence, 2018). As technology continues to play a larger role in healthcare, to the point of some patients using telemedicine and "seeing" a physician via a video conference call, it becomes more important to define and examine how we as healthcare providers can still be present for our patients and provide them with the hands-on care on which nursing was founded.
SEARCH METHODS Electronic searches were conducted using the terms "presence," "presence in nursing practice," "healing presence," and "therapeutic presence." Databases included Google Scholar, PubMed, and CINAHL. Search limits were set for articles available in English, no other qualifications were excluded. Six publications were found to be easily accessible for the purpose of this concept analysis. All studies found were qualitative, descriptive studies.
CONCEPT SELECTION For the purpose of this analysis, it is presumed that all nurses have the capability to be present, therefore it is assumed all nurses can also enhance their presence within their practice to be measured and
Discussion Post NURS 6531 Week One Nurse Practitioner Competencies Quality As we further our education to become advanced practice nurses (APNs), it is crucial that we understand the behaviors or core competencies expected of all APNs. For the purpose of this discussion, I will evaluate the core competency of quality and how I will integrate this behavior into my daily practice.
Prior to implementation of the quality project, a signed consent will be obtained from the registered nurses, and then a 10-point questionnaire will be utilized to assess knowledge pre the education and post-education, with additional questions to assess knowledge gained. To protect confidentiality, no personal identifier will be used for any of the participants. All completed questionnaires will be stored in a locked cabinet in my office and data will be recorded on my personal computer with security access ensured. Data will be kept for three years after
A professional presence includes more than simply being present in a designated work area for a designated amount of time. Professional presence is not limited by specific skills or beliefs; it encompasses appearance, interaction, growth, ethics, decision-making, knowledge, but more importantly the ability to assess and intervene with self. By doing so, one can grow technically, emotionally, and spiritually, allowing further development of professional nursing. Nursing school teaches how to care for others in a professional, safe manner. Consequently, one can focus solely on caring for others, while neglecting to care for his or her self, which increases the phenomenon of nurse burn out.
Nurse staffing is a significant region of worry because it can place a strain on patient safety as well as quality of patient care. With cost effectiveness in mind, hospital administrations have elected to reduce nursing staffing ratios and substitute licensed nurses using cheaper unlicensed personnel. This increases uneasiness as the quality of care in hospitals might be undesirably reduced. The necessity to evaluate nurse staffing is essential.
Peplau (1988, cited by Betts, 2002, in Kenworthy et al, 2002) argues nursing as an interpersonal process. Betts (2002) argues that effective communication is intricate and obscure. Both the nurse and the patient are distinctive individuals, and they both bring with them their perceptions, values, interpretations and experiences to the interpersonal process. To achieve trust, the nurse must use openness, honesty and effective communication

Nurses play an essential role in the healthcare industry. The nurse workforce is made up of licensed nurses: registered nurses (RNs), licensed vocational nurses (LVNs) and licensed practical nurses (LPNs), along with nurse aides. Registered nurses are responsible for assessments of patients’ needs, development of care plans, medication administration, and treatments, while licensed vocational nurses perform specific care under the delegation of the registered nurses and supervisions. Nursing aides perform activities of daily living (unskilled attention) to the patient. Adequate nursing staffing is essential to both patient care and outcomes, also to the retention of nurses while inadequate staffing creates problems for both the patients and

Professional Presence and Influence of the Advanced Nurse Jessica L. Sookram College of Health Professions, Western Governors University D024: Professional Presence and Influence Michele L. Miller, EdD. MSN, RN March 14, 2023 Professional Presence and Influence of the Advanced Nurse The practice of nursing is an art that combines science and compassion to provide excellent patient care. A nursing team that provides this level of care typically has a well-rounded nurse leader that guides them through difficult situations. Leaders need to frequently practice their social and emotional intelligence (SEI) power skills in order to manage complex situations at work and lead their team to success. Along with fine-tuning their skills, effective
Professional Presence and Influence Being able to promote a positive healing experience for patients is a significant responsibility for nurses. What heals one patient, may not work for another patient. Being equipped to identify what part is vital for each patient’s healing is not an easy task. Understanding different approaches to medicine, how different personality types function, how to be mindful rather than distracted, and what promotes an optimal healing environment are essential facets to provide exceptional care.

Health practitioners possess distinctive scope of practice standards based upon distinctive skills, education and qualification levels. RNs are accountable to assess patients’ health problems and needs, develop and implement nursing care plans, maintain medical records and supervise ENs and AINs practice. Excepting the ENs’ abilities to assist intervene and evaluate patients health and functional status and administer prescribed medicines or maintain intravenous fluid, ENs and AINs are both have responsibilities to observe patients health status and report changes to the RNs, maintain ongoing communication with RNs regarding the patients’ health and functional status, assist patients with ADL and emotional support, and understand health information technology. Successive healthcare treatment is always associated with collaborated teamwork.
