This case study highlights the conflict that can arise between nurse practitioners (NP) and physicians due to lack of proper communication, poor physician attitude, and lack of respect. Clarin (2007) labels these items as barriers that inhibit effective collaborative care and ultimately hinders the goal of medical institutions. In this case study, the way that the physician treated the new NP encourages other physicians in the practice or staff members that it is acceptable to treat another provider in this manner.

A key component in effective

Texas is home to nearly 10,000 nurse practitioners. Nurse practitioners (NPs) in Texas do not have as many freedoms as NP 's in many other states. In fact, Texas falls at the lower end of the spectrum regarding the freedoms it offers nurse practitioners. House Bill 1885 would grant full practice authority in Texas to all advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs), including nurse practitioners (NPs).

Introduction Nursing is known as professional discipline (Donaldson & Crowley, 1978). Nurses shortage is one of the significant issues in current nursing in Singapore and also in other countries.

Nursing shortages are unmeasureble, and they may be defined as professional capacity standards from an economical view.
Not all heroes wear capes, they wear scrubs too. The career I plan to pursue is a nurse practitioner.

The nursing profession has always been known for its attitudes to others, which encompasses the behaviors of being caring and compassionate. Nevertheless, what many of the individuals do not realize is that the actions of incivility among other nurses occur discreetly, whether it be in an institutional or practice setting. Incivility, in the world of nursing, is one of the most essential and difficult problems to approach. Throughout this discussion, it will entail what incivility is and why it occurs, whom are the most vulnerable, and how can nurse leaders address this issue. Incivility is defined as any impolite or disrespectful behavior toward another, whether intended to cause harm or not.
A cross-sectional survey study was done on nurses in either a clinical setting or at a university setting. Nurses were either professors, nursing supervisors, registered nurses or nursing assistants. Utilizing the standardized Thomas-Kilman Conflict Mode Instrument, a questionnaire was created to identify which of the following five styles could be used to identify each nurse: accommodating, avoiding, collaborating, competing, and compromising (Iglesias & Vallejo, 2012). Participants were given questions that described their usual response in a conflict situation with either a coworker or manager.

This situation presented an unresolved conflict between myself and the vice principal in my clinical placement. This conflict can be linked with the nursing concepts of interprofessional collaboration and communication, role clarification, and power. Therefore, it is understandable that nursing students working within an interprofessional team that does not demonstrate respect and understanding will result to ineffective care, health promotion delivery, and impede professional development. Interprofessional collaboration amongst health and non-health professionals is integral in optimizing health outcomes and promoting health.
