After doing research into the subject of physician assistants as a profession, I found the following information in the 5 sources I found, and I will proceed to combine the data from all 5 sources into a summary. Physician Assistants or PAs are qualified clinicians who work in all medical specialties and settings. This medical profession of physician assistant was created in the USA in the 1960s, but it has since spread outside of the US. Medical workers that resemble PAs and work for doctors come from a variety of nations, including Australia, Canada, England, the Netherlands, Scotland, South Africa, and Taiwan.
The value of inter- and interprofessional collaborative practice as a DNP nurse and how it may impact my role. With the healthcare transformation occurring around the world, a partnership relationship between a doctor of nursing practice and doctor of philosophy-prepared nurses continues to develop. According to Ford, (2009), doctorate of nursing practice (DNP) plays an important role to play in the always changing health care system. According to the Institute of Medicine (IOM), the United States, nursing has the largest number of health care workers.

Many nurses do not get involved in health care policy even though the nurse should. Most nurses do not know much about health care policies, some view it as “foreign and complex” (Falk, 2014, p. 203). I consider myself one of the nurses that do not know much about health care policy and I am one of the nurses that do not get involved in health care policy. I do not get involved with health care policy because I was never taught about it, so I do not want to get involved in something that I do not know much about. I look forward to learn more about health policies and becoming more involved in health policies.
When I was younger, I always said that I wanted to be like my grandmother. My grandmother, who is a nationally recognized Cincinnati Enquirer’s Woman of the Year, is a successful Obstetrics Gynecology Registered Nurse. I’ve taken an interest in becoming an Obstetrics Gynecology Physician, also known as an OB GYN solely because of my grandmother’s influence. During the summer, I visit my grandmother in Ohio, and she often takes me to work with her and I get to see just what the job is about. I enjoy seeing the babies in both the nursery and the Intensive Care unit (NICU) as well as observing the OB GYN’s visiting with their patients while they are in the hospital.
I am currently an undergraduate at Rowan College at Gloucester County completing my pre-nursing studies. As I was growing up, I always enjoyed the idea of helping and healing others. My inspiration to become a nurse was watching my mother make a difference in the lives of elderly at a local senior living community as an Activities Assistant for years. Even though, she was unable to go back to school due to personal circumstances, the compassion she showed towards others around her was something special as she took care of them as if they were relatives. Whenever I had free time, I would just sit and play a game with the elderly residents hearing their life stories from when they were young.
As a first generation student to attend college from a family of seven, the journey to a higher education has been arduous and overwhelming. My family gives me all the encouragement I need and are very optimistic about pursuing a higher degree. Unlike myself, my parents did not have the opportunity to attend college. My parents were born and raised in a small town in Mexico where the highest level of education they received was fifth grade. I have worked since I was 14 years old to support my parents with bills, and also saving for college and my own vehicle.
