...Nurse Practice Act Comparison of Illinois and Indiana Toccara Kelly NU 100 ITT Technical Institute Nurse Practice Act Comparison of Illinois and Indiana Most people are aware that there is a governing body over hospitals, but many do not know that each of these are separate. Each state has its own Board of Nursing to define and govern all practice of professional nurses. These state boards promote safety and help to ensure that all employed nurses obtain quality education and practice with proper licensure. This essay compares Illinois’ Nurse Practice Acts to those of Indiana’s. The data included has been procured from both state’s government website, which entails the Nurse Practice Acts. In the state of Illinois, the Board of Nurses consist of 11 members who are appointed by the governor. Each member of the board serves a four-year term that is subject to their death, resignation, or being removed by the governor. Of the 11 members on the board 6 are nurse representatives of various specialties and the remaining 5 members may include representatives of associations, health care providers, nursing educators, and consumers. In the state of Indiana, the Board...

...Nursing, as a profession, continues to be a growing and changing entity. As nurses, we must consider that our future is going to be much different than our past. This presentation will review four major topics that are worth consideration, and hopefully provide food for thought about each nurse’s plans and goals for his or her own career in the future. We will discuss evidence-based practice, nursing theory, research, and nursing roles and opportunities. Each of these topics includes a myriad of ideas, publications, and opportunities for self assessment and growth. Evidence-based nursing, evidenced-based practice, and evidence-based medicine are all based on the idea that health care treatment has transitioned from “practice that was based on intuition, experience, clinical skills and guesswork” to practice based in science (Chitty, 2010, p. 258). This has allowed nurses to make decisions based on research, and to provide the most skilled, advanced, and expert care. Nurses should know where to find research to support evidence-based care decisions. According to Ciliska, Haynes, and Marks (2013), a nurse could review textbooks, online data bases, journal articles, and the internet. One should consider that both consolidated and distilled information resources are available, and remember that distilled information resources do not always provide the most accurate and up to date information. The consolidate resources can be plentiful and one may have some difficulty choosing...

...With no concrete scientific evidence and only theories to date, we can at least see ways to help ease the pain; therapies to help make the patients more active and have a better quality of life. Fibromyalgia: The Pathophysiology Much debate of Fibromyalgia has existed since the first diagnosis. Some people are lead to believe that it replaced Chronic Pain Syndrome and/or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Did it, we will examine that here. Depending on who you talk to Fibromyalgia exists, Endocrinology says no and Neurology says yes. Who’s right, which is what we will find out? What we do know; “Fibromyalgia is a chronic musculoskeletal syndrome characterized by widespread joint and muscle pain, fatigue, and tender points” (McCance RN & Huether RN, 2010, p. 1606). If that is Fibromyalgia does that not describe Chronic Pain Syndrome? Well yes and no, Chronic Pain Syndrome usually stays, is always with you all the time, whereas Fibromyalgia has exacerbations that come and go. Chronic pain Syndrome can also incorporate two different syndromes such as Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome together ("Pain," n.d.). While the exacerbations of Fibromyalgia seem to come and go, long term studies indicate that signs and symptoms stabilize within the...

...Standardization of Nursing Protocol for Cardiac Arterial Bypass Patients Abstract Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) is an important factor in determining medical courses of action. Nurses have long used tradition rather than evidence in making decisions about beside care; to convince them to switch practice, it is useful to draw a comparison between the efficacy of these disparate routes. Our study designed a research question based on the PICOT model for the cardiac floors and designed procedures using the Kotter and Cohen’s Model of Change. In order to study the effect discussed in our PICOT question, a web search was conducted and the quality of each pertinent study reviewed. Introduction In the nursing staff of an adult Cardiac Surgical Care unit, how does the buy-in from the staff for Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) changes in a new Coronary Arterial Bypass Graft (CABG) pathway affect the decreases in infection rate among this patient population when compared to the old way of delivering patient care through nursing tradition in a six month time frame? The formation of a guideline for practice in nursing is not a new occurrence; books and manuals have been a reality for many years. However, in the past these resources lacked the evidence for standards of care, which traditionally have been based on professional consensus and tradition. The Joint Commission has recognized processes that can be measured regarding patient outcomes and care in order to meet standards for Medicare...

Johnson, RN, PhD, Rebekah Shephard, MS, APRN, and Olimpia Paun, APRN, BC, PhD TOPIC. Increasingly, students from various professional backgrounds are enrolling in Psychiatric Mental Health (PMH) Nursing graduate programs, especially at the post-master’s level. Faculty must educate these students to provide increasingly complex care while socializing them as PMH advanced practitioners. PURPOSE.

SOURCES. Published literature from nursing and psychology. CONCLUSIONS. The PMH graduate faculty believes that they have developed strategies to meet this challenge and to help build a PMH workforce that will maintain the centrality of the relationship in PMH practice.
