Registered Nurse Strengths

In this memo, I will discuss a number of factors that influence my career choice to be a Registered Nurse. These factors include education and certifications requirements, pay range, mental and physical requirements, and analyze how this career will affect my personal identity. What is a Registered Nurse? Registered nurses (RNs) work to promote good health and help patients cope with illness and injury (Career as a Registered Nurse, 2016).

Recently the advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) became a very important profession due to the major changes in the healthcare system and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) goals that focus on providing patients with affordable but quality care, improving patient health outcomes, expanding care to the underserved areas, and lowering the costs. It became apparent that over the years nurses played an important role in healthcare system. According to the National Governors Association (2012) “The demand for primary care services in the United States is expected to increase over the next few years, particularly with the aging and growth of the population and the passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA)” (p. 1). In addition,

Having grown up in a community underserved in mental health care, my beliefs are commensurate with the National Health Service Corps’ in that access to health care is a basic human right. As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner I will strive to increase access to mental health care for individuals in underserved communities as a nurse in a community-based practice. National Health Service Corps’ mission to increase accessibility of quality health care will benefit from my commitment to serving individuals without health insurance and those living in rural and urban areas where mental health care services are limited.

She has been in the nursing field for about 8 years. She is a registered nurse, that has worked in NICU for about 5 years. And now is currently working at “The Willough”. Where she provides treatment for countless adults suffering from addictive disorders and co-occurring mental health and substance abuse issues. She decided on this career because it’s the best job in the health field and nurses are always needed wherever you go.

After graduation, I will be attending one of two schools: Augustana University or University of South Dakota. No matter what school I decide to attend, I will be majoring in nursing. Ever since I was a little girl, I loved seeing everyone cuts, bumps, and bruises. Blood never made me sick to my stomach either, it actually interested me. My mom always tells me stories about how I also showed her every single cut or bruise I had.

Some of the responsibilities that come with becoming a Registered Nurse are monitoring a patient, from diets to their sleep schedule you have to look over them. Registered Nurses are legally allowed to change a patient’s dosage of medication if they feel that it is necessary, they are to assess patients and discuss different types of treatment plans with families which includes length of treatment and different types of options. They are to prepare patients for scans/tests and examinations done by a doctor and keep organized notes about the patient. Registered Nurses usually work in a clinic environment but also some work in a hospital.

Post 1 part 3 Student’s Name Institutional Affiliation Post 1 part 3 Certified Nurse Practitioner Based on Mary’s experiences and interest, I would recommend that she becomes a certified nurse practitioner (CNP). The advantage of this role is that she will directly interact with the patients and hence be of maximum benefit to them (Pierce & Belling, 2011). The position is also fulfilling since one gets to gauge their performance over time due to the direct feedback from the patients. Besides, working in this role attracts higher salary due to the high educational background and the number of tasks assigned (Naylor & Kurtzman, 2010). Aside from taking care of the patient’s therefore, Mary would be assured of a stable income

Social media is a tool which provides an opportunity to connect with other people to share the information as well as it can be used as a part of the health care delivery system (CNA, 2012). However, sound knowledge of risks associated with using social media in personal and professional life of nurses is very important (CNPS, 2012). Therefore, Mathew should be fully aware about the ethics and professional practice standards of nursing for sharing his life experiences on the Facebook account. It is very crucial to protect patients’ right to privacy and confidentiality all the time (Henderson & Dahnke, 2015). Not only this, Mathew as a Registered Practical Nurse should maintain professional boundaries, profession’s integrity and employer policies
