Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRN) play an essential role in the healthcare facilities where they ensure that there is the delivery of quality services to the patients. The implementation of the policy of protecting these nurses will have a positive impact on their various operations and how they provide services to the patients. The American Nurses Association has put more weight on protecting the APRNs and ensuring that there is fairness and consistency in their functions across different states in the country (Schwab, Gelfman & Tirozzi, 2005).

What is the greatest invention or discovery ever made in the United States? Many people would choose the electric light and others might say the automobile, telephone, or airplane. “Yet most people would overlook a discovery that has saved hundreds of millions of lives: anesthesia(Brindell).” A Nurse Anesthetist is a Registered Nurse with advanced education in anesthesiology also known as a CRNA. “CRNA’s are responsible for administering, supervising, and monitoring anesthesia-related care for the patient undergoing surgical procedures(Exploring).” Also, CRNA’s take patient 's history, evaluate his/her anesthesia needs and forms a plan for the best possible management of the case. Being a Nurse Anesthetist can be challenging knowing the patient’s life is partially in their hands, but the job also offers certain education and responsibilities.
Congress formally established the Navy Nurse Corps in 1908, an organization that has proven to be an instrumental and integral part of the United States Navy. At the time of the Corps ' establishment, only twenty nurses were selected, and answering their nation 's call, they served with distinction. During WWII, through their valiant efforts, female nurses went on to be recognized as having the same authority as their male counterparts. From WW1 to the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, the navy nurse corps has put a lot of time and effort to quickly rise to the top of their profession. They provide care for military service members and their families but also for people in need around the globe. Working with a team of talented
There are more than 234,000 nurse practitioners (NPs) licensed in the United States (AANP, 2017). Among these practitioners only approximately 2.6% combined adult, and pediatric nurse practitioners are certified in the acute care specialty (AANP, 2017). All advanced practice nurses (APRNs) assess, diagnose, treat, and manage acute episodic conditions and chronic illnesses, regardless of the patient population they are certified to care for. The purpose of this paper is to analyze, evaluate, and discuss the role of the FNP in an acute care setting.

I had asked her what other careers there were in healthcare and she briefly mentioned a few. However, physician assistant stood out to me. Not long after, I shadowed a PA at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in the interventional radiology department to gain more insight. I admired his ability to perform a procedure alone, which is only possible after the radiologist and the PA are confident this can be done safely and with high quality. I appreciated how he would talk to his patients before the procedure, making sure they understood everything that was to happen and comforting them. He was flexible, able to work autonomously and alongside the physicians and nurses. I told myself, this is how I would achieve that yearning to do
All of these topics are essential for an individual reviewing the RN’s profile, because they give the interviewer a basic generalization of a possible candidate for their position. The interviewer can get a good grasp on how long an individual stays at a job, what specialty of nursing they’ve been in, where they went to school, years of experience and why they wanted to go into nursing in the first place. All these descriptions about an individual will lay down the foundation for an interviewer to get know the RN.

Lao-Tzu once said, “Life and death are one thread, the same line viewed from opposite sides.” While the safety of patients lives hang by a thread in the hand of a nurse anesthetist who only have a nursing degree in anesthetics, these certified registered nurse anesthetist’s (CRNA) are training hard, studying extra hours, and being shoved deeper into debt to be able to handle any anesthesia case with expertise.

There have been a number of court cases against the unsupervised practice of CRNA, and they were all dismissed in favor of the nurses. Nurse anesthetist is one of the oldest nursing specialties in the United States, and the schooling
It is my pleasure to be writing you regarding the openings for civilian contracted RNs of the Coronary Care Step-Down Unit at Madigan Army Medical Center. My passion and motivation for being a nurse stems from the examples of the nurses who cared for me during the numerous times I was a patient in Madigan Army Medical Center as a child. It would be an honor to work within the community that changed my life. I have been a visitor several occasions to this specific unit and have been a patient at a different hospital receiving coronary care. I’ve done extensive personal research and learned what text books will say about most of the treatments that this unit will provide; however, my ability to tell patients about my personal experiences provides a unique ability to empathize and serve this specific population. My compassion, character and experience will be positive and unique contributions to this critical care team.

When I was growing up, multiple people questioned me about my future career, and others even pressured me into certain careers. All the influences I have had over time have formed my idea of the perfect occupation, that fits my personality and interests. The careers I have based my future life plans are a pharmacist or a certified registered nurse anesthetist. Both of these careers require a great deal of school and hard work. My decision of these careers was influenced by both of them being within the medical field, and also both focus on helping people. My main interests lie in my math and science classes, which is the reason why both these careers rely heavily on these subjects. My life goal is to achieve the title of one of these distinguished
