...| Admission Essay to University of Miami Elizabeth Akande | | | My name is Elizabeth Akande and I am seeking for an admission into the Master’s degree program at University of Miami (UM) at the School of Nursing. I have always believed in giving back to the community and in sharing my competencies and skills with others. My desire to help people in the field of nursing has powered my decision to take up a graduate degree in Nursing. Overcoming the many challenges in my life has helped me to believe that I can reach any goal I have set for myself, and one of these lifelong goals is to become a nurse practitioner and to obtain my graduate diploma from a respectable institution. I have had my fair share of obstacles and trials, and if not for the generosity and kindness of others and of the Almighty God, I may not have gone this far in my journey. My life has been one great challenge, but the trials that I have faced did not discourage me from my goals. Taking care of my family, working full time, and looking after my two elderly parents may not be the picture of a perfect life, but I have managed to make the best use of my time and my resources, to give equal attention to the people I love as well as the career that I have chosen for myself. My father has had spinal stenosis for 16 years now and is currently living with me. My mother, who is now 73 years old, also...

...Scholarship, Practice and Leadership Lisa Hoffman University Of Phoenix Scholarship, Practice and Leadership People have an ability to manage his or her span of information regarding his or her own health and the health of those they care for. With the increasing complexity of health information and health care settings, most people need additional information, skills, and supportive relationships. Societal expectations of health care professionals are rapidly changing and increasing. Society has high expectations of health professionals, expecting them to provide leadership roles in the community. In addition to societies’ expectations of leadership, universities expect faculty to demonstrate leadership in a scholarly manner. Scholarship is a fundamental expectation for anyone in an academic role. Scholarly leadership proceeds through the academic ranks of a university demonstrating evidence of effectiveness of teaching, research, professional activities, and community contributions. Boyer (1990) defines scholarship as “those actives that systematically advance the teaching and practice of nursing through rigorous inquiry that is significant to the profession is creative; can be documented; can be replicated or elaborated and can be peer-reviewed through various methods” (p. 129). Colleges and universities across the nation are striving to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing educational...

...The Affordable Care Act: Nursing’s Practical Solution Desmond Mueller California State University, Fullerton School of Nursing Concepts of Professional Nursing Practice BSN 306, Section 05 Anne Johnston-Silverberg, MS, FNPc September 14, 2012 The Affordable Care Act: The Role of the Nurse Practitioner The recent implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has had a significant impact on the American health care delivery systems. The passage of this bill mandates that all Americans must have health care coverage and that insurance companies cannot disqualify applicants due to preexisting conditions (National Council of State Boards of Nursing, 2014). These changes will undoubtedly lead to an increase in the number of people seeking medical care, particularly those with chronic diseases. It is estimated that this influx in the number of patients will result in a primary care provider shortage of 20% by the year 2025 (Poghosyan, Boyd & Knutson, 2014). With many new physicians choosing to pursue specialties due to the promise of a larger salary, hospitals and clinics will need to start looking to other health care providers, such as nurse practitioners, to fill this role. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the role nurse practitioners play with regards to the Affordable Care Act by examining the history and qualifications of nurse practitioners, the current practice of nurse practitioners, the basics of the Affordable Care Act legislation, and potential nursing...
