...Knight ENG 112 80-OL August 30, 2015 Intended Major Profile Paper As of my senior year in high school, I plan to major in anesthesia and minor in psychology. Anesthesiologists or Nurse Anesthetists are one of the top paid healthcare professionals in the world as of 2015. With majoring in anesthesia comes a tremendous amount of responsibility. If the anesthesiologists gives the patient too high of a dosage, it could kill the patient, which would cause a lawsuit. From researching other occupations that intrigue me, I believe I want to focus on becoming an anesthesiologist for the emergency room. I like the idea of having a buildup of adrenaline running through my body, while putting someone under anesthesia for an emergency surgery. From all the research I have conducted, there are several schools in North Carolina that offer an anesthesia program in their graduate school. I also have concluded that many of these schools are expensive, but offer a remarkable amount of scholarships and grants for those who are less fortunate. Many schools in North Carolina offer a program focusing on anesthesia. A few schools have stuck out in my research. UNC Charlotte offers a program for Nurse Anesthetists through the Carolinas Medical Center they are partnered with. UNCG also offers an anesthesia program through the Raleigh School of Anesthesia. Lastly, Western Carolina University offers a twenty-eight month Nurse Anesthetist program. Out of all my research that I have conducted on schools...

...Running head: Associate and Baccalaureate-Degree Registered Nurses Associate and Baccalaureate-Degree Registered Nurses: Differences in Competencies R B S Grand Canyon University: NRS 430V 10 July 2011 There are two ways to become a registered nurse: a fast track two year associate degree course or a comprehensive four year baccalaureate course. A graduate of both courses makes the student qualified to take the NCLEX-RN and get an RN license. The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (2010) believes that “education has a significant impact on the knowledge and competencies of nurses”. The healthcare environment and the nursing world today are constantly changing. The economy is getting worse and competition is getting fiercer. As a result there is an escalating demand for better-quality and efficient patient care providers and independent decision making nurses. The registered nurse today is expected to do much more than just follow physician’s orders, administer medications on time and wound dressing changes. The nurse nowadays must be able to make important judgment decisions, must be able to politely query a doctor when orders seem not appropriate and help patients and family members make difficult decisions that will affect their lives. The associate degree RN and the bachelor’s degree RN have the same RN license, but the baccalaureate degree nurse studied more subjects in the physical and social sciences...

...between nurses prepared at the associate’s degree level versus the baccalaureate level in nursing. The differences in competencies has be seen in the leadership ladder for advancement in the profession of nursing, the ability to provide care, the coordination of patient care, and the membership of an educated interdisciplinary health care team. In my matriculation into Grand Canyon University’s RN-BSN program, I previously researched this topic extensively. In 1965, the American Nurses Association (ANA) took a courageous position in publishing a first position paper asking for the baccalaureate degree to be the minimal level of education for the professional nursing ( A position paper 1965). This was the first documented attempt to change the level of education of nurses from a technical based education to a scientific based education. The position that the ANA held had many of the following obstacles to overcome, the interference of government funding of programs, nurses to see beyond just the technical based profession and the perception of nursing as a caregiver. The ladder of leadership after obtaining an associate degree in nursing (ADN) is the certifications that can be obtain through their professional organizations and chosen specialty. The career ladder of leadership for a bachelor’s degree in the science of nursing (BSN) can lead in many directions. The bachelor's degree is a steppingstone. Master's degree and other postgraduate programs, such as midwifery, nurse practitioner...

...Reflection Paper One Advanced practice nursing (APN) can be loosely defined as an area of nursing in which nurses are required to practice at an advanced level in a specific area of interest. APN extends the boundaries of nursing’s scope of practice and contributes to nursing knowledge, and the development of the profession (Canadian Nurses Association, 2008). In order to become an APN, the nurse must obtain a master’s or doctoral degree from an accredited university in an area of concentration designated for advanced practice nursing. According to Joel (2009), there are currently four major groups of APNs: certified registered nurse anesthetist, certified nurse midwives, clinical nurse specialists, and nurse practitioners. APN focus on critical thinking, educating the public, diagnosing and treating illnesses, and prescribing medications to name a few. This paper will discuss the future of the nurse practitioner and how I, as a future adult-gerontology primary care nurse practitioner, will advocate for my patient population. Philosophy and Beliefs of Nurse Practitioners Due to the fact that nurse practitioner is a branch of advanced practice nursing, the two professions often share many of the same philosophic beliefs. The overall philosophy of both professions is centered on four key concepts of person, society, health and nursing; whereas, the core philosophy for nurse practitioners is that of individualized care where focus is on patients’ conditions, as well as, the...

Write about one specific educational experience from your past in which you addressed a fear and overcame it and how you succeeded in this process. Besides to have a BSN degree from the program, my goal for the RN-BSN program is to become an effective APA style journal writer in a language of English. English is my second language, and I have to admit that I have fear and difficulty to express fully my thoughts in English. I was hesitating to choose an online program for BSN degree because of the concern for the extensive writing requirement of the program. However, I chose to challenge myself to overcome my weak point for the ultimate goal in career to become an excellent nurse anesthetist. I remember I had the same problem when I was at a nursing program several years ago. It was the first semester, and they gave me a quite extensive journal assignment for a new nursing student. It was a 5-7 pages long APA style scientific writing. I was worried very much because I never wrote an APA journal before. On top of it, I had to write in English! Out of anxiety, I started the assignment a couple of week in advance. I started researching journals and articles and studied APA style. After writing a rough draft, I brought it to the writing center at a school to check the grammar errors and awkward expression. I had to revise several times and visited tutoring center multiples times to fix grammar errors. After...

...roles nursing could play to help address this soon to be increase in demand for safe, high quality and effective health care services (IOM, 2010). The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) developed a partnership with the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to respond to and evaluate the need to change the nursing profession in order to meet the new demands that were going to be placed on the health care system. They recognized that the nursing profession faced several challenges in fulling this demand and meeting the nation’s health needs. They together they issued a report ‘The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health”, which addressed several areas that needed improvement in the nursing profession to meet these new demands. This paper focuses on the impact the Institute of Medicines 2010 report has on current nursing practices in three main areas: Transforming Education, Transforming Practice, and Transforming Leadership. Nursing Education Due to changes in the health care system patients and the care they require, both in the hospital and outside the hospital in community...

...over 2 years to produce a report that would be available to make recommendations and serve as an action-oriented blue print to the nursing professionals. This paper will discuss the impact on nursing due to the recommendations on the IOM report regarding transforming education, transforming practice, and transforming leadership. (Institute of Medicine, 2011) Impact on Nursing Education The IOM report made a key point in which “nurses should achieve higher levels of education and training through an improved education system that promotes seamless academic progression” (Institute of Medicine, 2011, p. 164). As the year’s progress it is vital that nursing education be transformed to stay current with today’s evolving health care. The IOM reports that even though the nursing profession must be transformed to work in a variety of complex settings however, they recognized that the primary goal of nursing education should still be that nurses prepared to meet diverse patients’ needs; function as leaders; and advance science that benefits patients and the capacity of health professionals to deliver safe, quality patient care. (Instiute of Medicine, 2011) The IOM report emphasized on the importance of having nurses with a higher education therefore, the committee recommended that bridge programs be made for the Registered Nurse (RN) with an associate degree in nursing (ADN) or diploma to transition into a program to complete a baccalaureate degree in nursing (BSN).

...respond and evaluate changes that were needed in the nursing profession. This initiative was a two year project that resulted “in producing a report that would make recommendations for an action-oriented blueprint for the future of nursing” (Institute of Medicine, 2011). The premise that the report is attempting to answer is this, “What roles can nursing assume to address the increasing demand for safe, high-quality, and effective health care services?” (Institute of Medicine, 2011). My paper will attempt to review the IOM’s report on nursing education, nursing practice, and a nurse’s role as a leader. Nursing Education The nursing profession is educationally diverse. Many nurses can obtain their training and education via diploma, associate’s, bachelor’s degrees, and more recently accelerated, second-bachelor’s degree programs. With such diversity in education, there needs to be a more consistent curriculum that encompasses the changing health trends. According to the IOM, “the ways in which nurses were educated during the 20th century are no longer adequate for dealing with the realities of health care in the 21st century (2011). The health care system is being bombarded with a variety of chronic illnesses such as: arthritis, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension and mental health conditions. This barrage of chronic conditions is a result of our aging population and obesity numbers. The IOM has proposed that the nursing educational system needs to be revamped. One...

...Leadership Paper Cassandra Eisengart Waynesburg University NUR 518 I began my journey to become a nurse in 2006 when I graduated high school and entered a nursing school in Akron, Ohio. Thankfully, upon graduation in 2010 from Robert Morris University I was able to quickly find a job that would lead me to wanting to advance my career further and get my masters degree in nursing. Without the many programs made available because of willing nurses to become educators, a lot of us would not be where we are today, myself included. Many people think about the nursing shortage when it comes to bedside nursing and nurses in hospitals. Few rarely think that in order for a person to become a nurse they actually need other nurses that are willing to teach them. As the baby boomer generation gets older, we have to keep in mind that this is also a lot of our nurses in the field right now. According to the Administration on Aging by 2030 there will be 72.1 million people in the United States age 65 and older, which will be about 19% of the population. This number is compared to just 12.4% of the population in the year 2000. Again, not only do these numbers show the advancing age of our population, it shows that a lot of the nurses that we have in the work force right now are going to be retiring within the next 10-15 years. According to the National League for Nursing, in 2007, one out of five nurse educators planned to retire within 3 to 5 years. Unfortunately...
