Nursing can be competitive and without the experience and practice, managers will not want to hire an individual because they have no experience. The article “Supporting Newly Hired Nurses” states “[n]ewly hired nurses struggle with application of new clinical skills and critical thinking skills as well as integrating into unit culture.” Newly graduated nurses have to adapt fast to the nursing environment and what is involved which can be difficult and overwhelming. Newly graduated nurses should find experienced nurses within their work environment so that newly graduated nurses can learn from veteran nurses
I found Christine Candio’s on changes in the health care landscape to be a powerful personal narrative that I could relate to. Christine touched on some very poignant and relatable topics, often connecting her points back to nurses and nursing students. I personally found that her analogy of a “wave” of new healthcare regulations and practices and her explanation of why she loves nursing resonated the most with me reflectively. Change, as Christine notes, is a fundamental and necessary part of the medical field. However, sometimes a lot of changes all at once can be overwhelming to healthcare workers – especially nurses who deal with patients most frequently.
Nurses are uniquely positioned to be present at virtually every level of our health care system, nurses work at the community centers, clinics, hospitals and nurses are also present not only as bedside clinicians but also at the level of management, in the form of nurse managers, supervisors all the way up to the Director of nurses. We have a unique vantage point of the real state of affairs of our health care system, with the push for higher education and training, nurses will start to occupy more influential
After 10 years working as a registered nurse in many aspects of healthcare, felt an overwhelming desire to advance my career and myself to expand my role in caring for others. Becoming a nurse practitioner has always been a goal of mine. During my time working as a nursing manager, I became acutely aware of the need of skilled and talented providers that desire to provide passionate care to all individuals. I became especially concerned with the needs those with limited access to healthcare services. I knew my desire to care for individuals in a more autonomous role and I set out to develop the skills needed to meet the need I witnessed.
The intended audience is aspiring nurses who want to go further than being an RN. The author explains her journey starting as a registered nurse and ending with pursuing a Ph.D. or doctorate in nursing. This article is to inspire students to keep going in accomplishing their goals. The author explains that getting started was the hardest part. But she did not stop there.
Statistics have also shown that almost 21% of nursing turnover can be related to bullying while 60% of new RNs who quit their first job in nursing within 6 months report that it is because of being bullied (Chipps, 2012). The principal clinical question addressing this topic of a mixed-research design of a quantitative and qualitative study is the following: Does nurse incivility in the workplace lead to high turnover rates? Population:
At last, the work world di-mension is characterized as the impacts of expansive societal influ-ences and changes on the act of nursing [2,31].

Nursing is a highly respected profession and patients will seek advice from nurses. Therefore, nurses should learn how to react to situations that may not align completely with their own personal moral or ethical beliefs. Abandonment in the practice of nursing is not only detrimental to the health of patients involved, but to the nurse responsible for their care. If a nurse abandons his or her patients he or she has now been placed in a situation open to possible litigation, board discipline of classes or fines, and loss of licensure. As stated by the Oklahoma Board of Nursing, “abandonment may occur when a licensed nurse fails to provide adequate patient care until
The nurses had to distance themselves in order protect their emotional and mental health, to be able to provide professional support without compromising their emotional stability (Johansson & Lindahl,
This paper provides a description of the education program for nurse practitioners in the Université de Montréal’s Faculty of Nursing, widely considered a leader in the discipline. It further reports the results of a study examining the roles and responsibilities of Nurse Practitioners and of the factors that, despite the impediments to progress the practice faces, motivate them to pursue development of their abilities in carrying out their duties and making “a difference.” Nurse Practitioners are proud of being a source of reference for their colleagues and believe strongly professional collaboration while acknowledging and respecting their limitations, by refusing to assume any responsibilities not delegated to nurse practitioners. The conclusions were based on the findings and logically stated. There was a very in-depth research project, particularly for a journal article.
Kantek & Gezer (2009) has indicated that over 50% of the students frequently and 80% occasionally experienced conflicts. Some student nurses reported that they had experienced aggression and bullying in clinical settings from staff nurses, nursing managers, and patients and their families. Nursing students are particularly inexperienced, immature and unprepared to manage conflict and response in avoiding way frequently in conflict situations (Pines et al., 2014). Therefore, more attention and support should be provided to student nurses due to their inability to effectively manage the conflicts they
Thesis: Nurse Turnover is a challenge for both hospital administration and the quality of the health care service which is being provided. As a result, it is necessary to implement strategies which increase nurse retention in health care settings. Experienced Registered Nurse is a nurse with college/university education with one year or more of experience in a specific nursing practice area; Nurse retention/turnover is measured as the percentage of nurses who left their position or transferred (voluntarily or not); The status of the existing problem: - The Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) projected a nursing shortage of nearly 11 000 fulltime nurses in 2007 and 60 000 in 2022 (Lartey, Cummings & Profetto-Mcgrath, 1028); - The hospital lose
(2000) suggests that the main perpetrators of bullying, harassment and intimidation towards nurses in healthcare settings are the patients, their relatives and in some cases the doctors, including supervisors and
When looking at the function of professional nursing, the attitude, experiences, as well as factors such as demographics, social class, education, and values, can determine how the nurse will view violence in the workplace. These factors that have contributed to the development of the professional nurse can also determine how the nurse views and even reacts to workplace violence and aggression towards them. The qualities of the professional nurse and their background can determine how the human behavior from the patient is viewed and can lead to de-escalation or escalation of violent situations. The behavior of the patient can include cooperation, calmness, anxiety, aggression, or anger. Behaviors of aggression, anger, frustration, and acts of intimidation when patients are experiencing an illness can exacerbate stressful situations which can turn violent.
Critical Appraisal Qualitative Research Article M. Sofi Goerdt University of Mary Introduction Nursing research has been defined as a systematic inquiry to develop knowledge regarding issues of importance to nurses (Polit & Beck, 2017). Utilizing evidence-based practice, nurses are able to integrate research findings into clinical practice and clinical decisions (Polit & Beck, 2017). There are two paradigms that support nursing research: the positivist paradigm and the constructivist paradigm (Polit & Beck, 2017). The positivist paradigm is associated with quantitative research and utilizes scientific and statistical methods to gather and analyze evidence to affect nursing practice (Polit & Beck). Qualitative research, on the other
