...RUNNING HEAD: why a bachelor of science in nursing? Why a bachelor of science in nursing? Why a bachelor of science in nursing? According to Black(2014), Registered nurses are the largest group of healthcare providers in the United States, and as the healthcare system continues to evolve , many new opportunities and roles are being developed that will use nursing skills in different ways. As an experienced nurse, I did not think I would need to go back to school, for a bachelor in nursing, to be able to deliver high quality care to my patients in these new roles. I have been delivering high quality care, and did not think I could learn new methods of delivering care. As I am reading the Essentials of Baccalaureate Nursing, I could easily place myself in some of the Essentials. I realize that “maintaining competence, continue personal and professional growth”, are also part of my responsibilities. Black (2014) Being a nurse is caring for strangers, and a stranger may be someone with a different belief or culture. A baccalaureate generalist nurse will be able to practice holistic nursing care, which focuses on the mind, body and spirit as well as emotions. As a nurse in interventional radiology, I encounter patients every day who are undergoing procedures. They have questions already answered by the doctor, but want and need...

...Running head: ASSOCIATE DEGREE NURSE VS BACHELOR OF SCIENCE Associate Degree Nurse vs Bachelor of Science Nurse Associate Degree Nurse vs Bachelor of Science Nurse The nursing profession is unlike other health care professions. It has multiple education levels of entry into the nursing field. Many states have recently started to propose legislation to make registered nurses obtain their bachelor of science in nursing within ten years of becoming licensed registered nurses. This proposed legislation is aware of the associate degree nurses level of education and offers solutions for continued pursuit of furthering their education to the bachelor of science nurse. It is believed with the combination of the associate degree nurse furthering her education to a baccalaureate education, nursing will become a stronger profession and thus improve patient care outcomes and quality of care.(Lane, 2010) North Dakota became the first state to require the bachelor of science be obtained within the first tens years of obtaining the registered license. For many years the nursing leaders have discussed the idea of advancing the nurses education to the bachelor of science degree. North Dakota, New York and New Jersey were the first states to propose legislation for this to occur. North Dakota overturned their legislation and New York and New Jersey did not pass this legislation. According to the ANA many states have passed legislation to mandate required continuing...

...TO: Sarah May, Nurse FROM: Accountant DATE: November 9, 2011 RE: Deductible Educational Expenses FACTS: Sarah May graduated in 1988 from St. John Fisher College with a Bachelor of Science degree in nursing, and soon after became a registered nurse. From 1988-2004, Sarah held a couple nursing jobs, both of which were of a supervisor or manager position. In 2004, Sarah began her current position as a Quality Control Coordinator, which is a nonsupervisory position and did not require an MBA degree. In 2005, Sarah decided to enroll in an MBA program at St. John Fisher College, after feeling at a disposition with her educational background as a Quality Control Coordinator. Sarah’s peer group at work was more educated, many of whom were educated doctors. Sarah graduated in May 2009 with an MBA degree in Health Care Management. Sarah paid for her tuition during the course of the MBA program, and during the 2009 taxable year, she paid $6,500 in educational expenses. ISSUE: Did Sarah May meet the minimum educational requirements necessary to deduct the educational expenses she incurred in 2009, and are these expenses supportive of her desire to maintain or improve current job skills by not qualifying her for a new trade or business? LAW: Under IRC §162(a) a taxpayer may deduct all ordinary and necessary expenses paid or incurred during the taxable year in carrying on a trade or business. Further guidance is provided under Treasury Regulation §1.162-5(a) for...
