Role of Graduate Nurse in Informatics are: 1) computer generated nursing care plan for each patient. 2) reminder and prompts that appear during documentation to ensure comprehensive charting. 3) help as a communication aid to other health care professionals taking care of the same patient. For example, Electronic Health Record.
This course solidifies all of the previous knowledge and skills from both the didactic and experiential curricula. Students will participate in activities utilizing patient cases that they develop over the course of their APPE rotations. Weekly discussions will draw upon previously learned, as well as new knowledge, highlighting their professional growth and insight in direct patient care. Group and individual active learning exercises, discussions, mini-lectures and Q&A will revolve around the changing and evolving patient(s). Students will be given the opportunity to show case their research projects and present a formal reflection on their comprehensive educational experience. Board review activities such as reviewing contemporary practice strategies and law will assist the student in preparing for the licensure examination and entrance into the profession.
However, the accelerated BSN calls for online learning, especially to provide working nurses with an opportunity to horn their critical knowledge and skills needed to assume high levels of responsibility in the nursing field. Through online learning, you still have the support of the faculty and staff who understand the students’ time, energy, and career development. You can access the faculty staff through web-cam technology to get one-on-one attention and course assessment.
Cultural competence is very important in providing patient care. Culturally competent providers should understand and respect the patient’s beliefs, values, and behaviors, and develop a treatment or care based on the patient’s specific needs. Being a healthcare professional requires you not only to assess, diagnose, and make a treatment plan, but also take into account patient’s beliefs and perception of their health-related issues.
I will summarize each outcome for the Nursing Informatics specialty. For the intent of this paper I will use outcome and competency interchangeably. The first outcome means the ability to gather healthcare information across the continuum of care; combine and utilize the information gathered to develop a process. Finally execution of that process to evaluate its ability to improve the quality of the healthcare environment.
Additionally, the nurse ensures the accuracy of patient identification and health records using new technology. Healthcare professionals play a role in quality management process by taking accurate patient information using the electronic health record system. Technology with professional knowledge of nursing improves quality of patient care and general quality management process in the healthcare. The baccalaureate nurse involves an integration of nursing knowledge, skills, and attitudes that are fundamental to improving quality and safety of patients in the healthcare
I took the Kaplan Integrated test for NUB 440(Medical Surgical) and these were the remediation topics that emerged from the questions I answered incorrectly: multiple sclerosis, lidocaine, peritoneal dialysis, Parkinson’s disease, hip fracture, pneumothorax, prednisone, type 2 diabetes, detached retina, buck’s traction, closed head injury, transesophageal echocardiogram, benign prostatic hypertrophy, cystic fibrosis, glomerulonephritis, cardiac dysrhythmias, thyroidectomy, pressure ulcer, intracranial tumor, cataracts, hepatitis A, stroke, epilepsy, somogyi effect, pancreatitis, meningitis.
The prevention of patient-to-patient assault in an inpatient psychiatric unit is essential for the safety of patients and staff (Perez, 2014). The aim of this quantitative pilot study is to decrease patient-on-patient assaults which, in the long run, may improve patient safety during hospitalization (Staggs, 2015). This chapter discusses the study design and population plan and describes procedures for implementing the project, data collection, data analysis, the institutional review board (IRB) process, and challenges that may occur with initiating the quality improvement project.
Over the past four months, this course has been one of the most eye-opening experiences I have had during my first year of college. Although I have always realized the importance of being culturally competent in daily life, specifically healthcare, I was unaware of the many ways that cultural competence can be obtained. This class gave me the opportunity to view situations from a different perspective, especially through the weekly discussion boards and peer responses. Learning from classmate can teach more valuable lessons than listening to boring lectures or reading hundreds of pages in a textbook because it is easier to relate to experience rather than hypothetical situations. For example, one of the discussion boards asked us to detail
My goals for this course is to gain a better understanding regarding health care initiatives and health promotion. Take the practical information, tools and incorporate into everyday practice. Since I have been working associate degree nurse (ADN) for 21 years. The topic for my first paper was "Why BSN are better nurses than ADN nurse" my first thought is their not. I took away after research that ADN focuses more on the task at hand and BSN have a better understanding of theory and the why we approach patients in a certain way. Look forward to broadening my knowledge base, learning theory behind nursing and approaching patients in a different way. When caring out orders and discharging patients today I'm thinking of the learning style and
Technology has become an essential part of our everyday life therefore, it makes sense that doctors and hospitals get rid of the old fashioned paper charting and use technology to access patient records. Electronic health records (EHR) provide quick access to information, as doctors no longer have to wait for other providers to fax previous records to them. The accessibility of Electronic Health Records assist medical providers to make quick medical care decisions, by accessing previous care provided to patients including treatment and diagnosis. Quick access to information through EHR enables health care providers to treat patients faster as there is no need for records to be mailed or
Given that the main goal of education in medical sciences including nursing is to develop professional competence, decision-making skills and problem-solving, nursing education is responsible for creating an environment where students can learn and acquire cognitive, affective and psychomotor skills. Therefore, nursing students are provided with practical skills, strategies, and approaches so that they will able to solve patient’s problems in real-world situations in the future
Looking back when I started my nursing school, I can proudly say that I have evolved both physically and psychologically. I was not sure if nursing was the right choice for me at first because I had difficulties interacting with people outside my family circle. The first semester was challenging for me because I did not know how to interact with my class mates and felt isolated each time there is a class activity. I joined a study group later that semester and it has been an excitement ever since.
My recommendation would be a role focused intervention for the Red Carpet. Few policies govern employee behavior at the Red Carpet. Human resources is not valued by its employees. The focal point of role focused intervention is to create improved compatibility between the demands of the role and expectations associated with it. A structured exercise which identifies the purpose of the role, defines what should be achieved, and how the role contributes to the goal is a role analysis. Dayal developed the Role Analysis Techniques (RAT) in the year of 1969. The Role Analysis Techniques (RAT) redefined the roles of management in an organization. The following steps should be applied when using the Role Analysis Techniques (RAT). The main function
