This advanced education not only keeps the nurse fresh and up-to-date, but also allows for branching out into different sub-fields. For example, the ER nurse can focus on mental health or oncology, and pick up certifications that make them even more valuable to their organization (Arslanian-Engoren, Hicks, Whall, and Algase, 2005)
It involves a level of practice that requires advanced skills in not only clinical knowledge, but in the managerial tasks of planning, implementation and strategic thinking; as well as increased responsibility for diagnosis and evaluation of patients. This role has expanded due to a number of cultural and economic changes that often limit the Medical Doctor's time with individual patients (Association, 2010)
The APN's role within the last two decades, however, has been to help change those limitations and add ways that help enhance existing models of care. Research in fact finds that as stakeholders participate with APN's the APN provides a greater degree of clarity, systems entry, and integration of roles and strategic planning for all concerned (Bryabt-Lukosius, DiCenso, Browne, and Pinelli, 2004)
Too, often the general publicity of knowing that a particular research area is planned will bring additional funding into the organization. Thus, the participation of ongoing academic research, coupled with the expectation of involvement within the professional organizations for the nursing field, combine together to form a paradigm of continued learning and competency (Evans, Lang, and Medoff-Cooper, 2004)
In addition, the APN's advanced training and abilities act as a public forum for the new paradigm of professional nursing. The advanced commitment, ability, and services that are now offered as part of the APN's regular duties can be seen by patients and the public as exemplary examples of what it is to be a modern nurse (Mezibov, 2002)
Advanced practice nurses are often very successful in extending their influence over strategy from within a care facility into a recovery environment, which increases chances of a better recovery of patients dealing with the after effects of the disorder. Thus, the research suggests that advanced practice nurse "intervention was effective in increasing the length of time between hospital discharge and readmission or death, reducing readmissions, and decreasing overall healthcare costs" (McCauley, Bixby, & Naylor, 2006, p 303)
Advanced Nursing and Congestive Heart Failure The Significance of Congestive Heart Failure in Advanced Nursing Too many people are suffering from cardiac disorders like congestive heart failure, which is costing the American hospital system enormously on top of the societal damage of loosing so many to congestive heart failure (McCormick, 1999)
Together with the nurses, the aim of many nurse educators is to enable patients take part in their recovery cares as much as possible. When patients are admitted into the hospital, the first thing Adaptation theory do is to let nurses seek relevant methodologies in which these patients can be assisted recover well and quickly (Basavanthappa, 2011)
According to Daniels (2010), adaptation involves educational measures that are directed at letting the client be conversant with the practical terms and conditions of the work they are to engage in the profession or the field. The Adaptation theory is used to solve many educational challenges being faced by nurses and other health specialists in the field (Daniels, 2010)
Moreover, health professionals serve patients from almost every part of the world. Besides this, nursing education acts as a pillar in every nursing or health institution (Mashaba & Brink, 2009)
In most situations, nursing education has been disregarded for other activities that do not solve the immediate problems and challenges faced by nurse sin the field. For instance, education and delivery of the appropriate measures of performance in the field can only be successful when the right educational procedures and issued and used within the profession (McKenna & Slevin, 2010)
Education should be made to appear and be a rudimentary requirement. Before letting the nurses have adaptation kill, they should be introduced to the facets of service that they will be required to make a habit of them in and outside the field (Parker, 2012)
As noted by Dorothy Orem, "physical, chemical, and biologic features" of the environment "include things such as atmosphere, pollutants, weather conditions, pets, infectious organisms and the like. Socioeconomic features of the environment focus on the family and the community and include such things as gender and age roles, cultural roles, and cultural prescriptions of authority" (Bridge et al
But only Madeline Leininger's philosophy of transcultural nursing, a philosophy of culturally specific care, fully addresses the needs of contemporary society. Leininger defined her ideal as "a humanistic and scientific area of formal study and practice in nursing which is focused upon differences and similarities among cultures with respect to human care, health, and illness based upon the people's cultural values, beliefs, and practices" and nursing is required "to use this knowledge to provide cultural specific or culturally congruent nursing care to people" (Leininger 1991)
Both individuals must communicate with one another as much as they are capable. Nursing is not something done 'to' someone, as stressed by theorist Imogene King -- instead, it is an active process of the nurse helping the patient achieve a goal, a common health-related goal set by the nurse and patient (Williams 2001)
Then she discusses the problem with colleagues to see how they can advocate in the best interests of clients. While all nurses must perform advocacy work to some extent, an APN has the precise aptitude for it because of the depth and expanse of her knowledge and ability to articulate on issues (Donnelly 2006)
With this authority rather than a continued reliance on a consultation with a prescribing physician or dentist, she will be as liable for malpractice suits as they are (Florida Nurse). A Leader with Negotiation Skills -- Negotiated care is a key element in nursing practice in the many contexts (Keatinge, 1998)
To this extent, the negotiation she undertakes is precisely called negotiated care (Keatinge). Implementing these Roles in Professional Development -- A Master prepared nurse is an advanced practice nurse who plays all the above-mentioned roles (Swihart & Johnstone, 2010)
A number of reasons have been given to justify continuing this move toward the practice higher degree nurse. These include the need for safe practice, the growing complexity of healthcare, the requirement for equality with other disciplines, the ongoing explosion and important of knowledge, and the need for more nursing faculty (Fulton & Lyon, 2005)
Factors promoting this wider scope of responsibilities for this career include: (a) the growing need to limit the country's continually escalating healthcare costs, (b) the current window of opportunity for advanced nursing practice, and - the requirement to use less resources more effectively. Since America has a market-driven healthcare system with a mounting surplus of physicians, these nursing professionals increasingly find themselves directly competing with medical doctors for the same primary care jobs (Harris, 1998)
