...Nursing is a call to serve the humanity. Present day healthcare system focused on preventive care and wellness has become highly advanced which makes every nurse responsible to achieve maximum level of education, skills and power of knowledge to meet the challenges. Continuous research in nursing and the evidence obtained from the research serves to support the nursing care. Continuing education helps nurses to keep track of all the developments taking place in the field, trace advances in technology and care, have a better understanding of all current rules and regulations, beware of all ethical and legal aspects of nursing as envisaged by various boards of nursing and other authorities in the field of healthcare. In this paper, I would like to explain the position statement of career development in nursing. It is only through proper and continued education that nurses can provide patients better care, assess and report what is best for the patient and always seek ways to improve patient outcome. In order to achieve the best results, nurses need to identify the core knowledge, scientific principles, skills and attitudes of nursing practice to improve healthcare system (International Council of Nurses, 2007). Therefore career development must be achieved by integrating care through our scholastic system, giving nurses opportunity to learn, grow and move up the ladder, making them capable of leading from the forefront. Career Development in Nursing Ever changing technology and...

...Hospital Administration and its Role in Healthcare Professional Development MBA-525-MBOL6 Saint Leo University Lisa Massey Dr. Bruce Hammond March 9, 2013 Abstract This paper will discuss why healthcare administration is my career field of choice and why it is interesting and appealing to me on many different levels. I will explain why I feel compelled to work in the healthcare field and how the administration portion of healthcare affords me the opportunity to have a broader influence on the overall picture. There are so many things that can be accomplished from an administrative perspective that greatly impact the patient care experience starting from bedside care all the way to organizational policy and procedure development. For me, this is a very rewarding career both professionally and spiritually. Hospital Administration and its Role in Healthcare When I first started out in healthcare almost 20 years ago, I always knew I wanted to do something on a much grander scale than just bedside nursing. Dr. Pace (2006, p. 3) discussed early in his books, the importance of choosing a career that is both interesting and challenging and also has the ability to provide you with financial security. The healthcare field has always offered job security because the demand for people with medical training will always be high because as long as people are living and getting sick, they will need healthcare providers. The healthcare field itself is continually growing to meet...

Rizzo Southeastern Louisiana University College of Nursing and Health Sciences NURS 333 September 28, 2015 LIFE MISSION 2 A Life Mission Choosing to pursue a career in nursing represents the commitment I have to live in accordance with my values. A nursing career constitutes a large part of my overall mission in life. A mission that acquires more dimensions as I learn more of what nursing entails.

...American healthcare system is enormous, complex and plagued by inefficiency in utilizing resources. Leiyu Shi and Douglas A. Singh lay out some compelling facts about how the system works. The complexity of healthcare delivery stood out because of the intricate web of players involved, each with a separate agenda. These agendas have contributed to the system focusing largely on individual rather than collective needs ensuring no guaranteed right to healthcare. Basic healthcare should be a right, but it is not, even though life is the most important thing we have. I equate being able to afford healthcare to right to life because the major determinant to access of care is insurance. The writers’ suggestion that universal healthcare is a theoretical concept is interesting but one that I disagree with because as the writers point out Emergency Departments already serves as universal providers for the uninsured Americans during acute crisis. Same guarantee can be extended to every American but geared towards primary care. Also, healthcare could use the same set up used in auto insurance. Although no one system is perfect other developed countries have been able to offer coverage for their citizens...

...Who Cares? Why the Shortageof Nurses Should Matter Dondi A. Dancy Webster University INTRODUCTION The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects that between calendar years 2001 and 2018 the most significant increase in job growth will occur in the healthcare industry, primarily within the nursing sector. Registered Nurses (more commonly known as RNs) complete an Associate degree nursing program (ASN) or higher (BSN, MSN, ND, DNSc, or DNP). Every healthcare experience involves the knowledge, support, and comfort of an RN – they are a large, diverse group who are integral to and in the delivery of healthcare. In fact, the Society of Human Resources Management (SHRM) Job Satisfaction 2010 survey indicates that nursing is the only “profession offering genuine opportunity for meaningful work.” The Employment Projections 2010-2020 profile suggests that there are 3.5 million licensed RNs working in various settings across the United States - which effectively means that RNs represents the single largest group of healthcare professionals in the United States; Wanted Analytics reported in December 2012 of 121,000 newly placed classified advertisements seeking RNs to fill positions in various settings to include schools, hospitals, long-term care facilities, companies, and staffing firms during the months of October and November 2012; and the National Institute of Medicine confirms that between 2005 and 2012 the nursing sector experienced average annual growth of twenty-three...

...Healthcare Administration Career I chose to my research project on the title above because the field that I want to go into and stay in is the medical field, without performing the clinical aspect of the job (Nurse, LVN, and Medical Assistant). Health care administrators have wide-ranging influence within the world of medicine. The leadership that these professionals provide sets the future course not only for the facilities they manage but also for the health care system as a whole. The educational requirements are as followed: A bachelor’s degree (four years) is the typical entry-level preparation needed for health care administration jobs. Some employers, however, will promote from within or hire other professionals with related experience (ex. Nurses) who are ideal for an administrative role due to their direct health care knowledge. This means attaining a MBA, or a different type of master’s degree, or a doctorate in health administration is required for high- level executive positions. Subspecialties are often available, especially in graduate programs. These include long-term care administration, health care services, or health information management. Prospective health care administrators should look for educational programs accredited by the Commission of Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education. An accredited program has successfully gone through a process that ensures responsibility and a commitment to quality progress. Training: Some educational programs...

Allowing nurses to be academically prepared in the workplace and to offer the community professional knowledge needed to care for their families and loved ones with preventive care and improve patient outcomes (Sexton, Hunt, Cox, Teasley, & Carrol, 2008, p. 105) Differences in Competencies Associate Degree programs are offered at community colleges around the country. Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) provides and efficient, economical pathway to becoming a registered nurse (Raines & Taglaireni, 2008).

...head: COST AND QUALITY ANALYSIS Healthcare cost and quality Grand Canyon University July 24th, 2012 Ethics, Policy, and Finance in the Health Care System Sally L. Clark A challenge that the healthcare nation is facing is to provide the quality of care that is expected and obtain low healthcare cost. Working hand in hand with the private sector and government is in hopes of improving the quality of care that each patient deserves and maintaining the cost so that research can continue. The purpose of this paper is to look into relationships between healthcare cost and quality healthcare. Differences in HealthCare Cost and Quality Working in the healthcare system, you often wonder if the nation works on quality of care or do they work more on cost of healthcare. Quality of care is an important role in achieving the best healthcare. Cost of healthcare is based on incentives that support the effectiveness while curving the spending growth (MacReady, 2012). Reform needs to be provided a baseline in evaluating healthcare delivery systems for a broader success of payments and delivery models with payment providers (2012, p.2). Sometimes higher cost effects quality of care. Some decisions need to be made that may affect the “clinical and fiscal health of the nation” (2012 p.1). Differentiating Roles and Major Activities Public and Private agencies plays an important role on how healthcare is delivered. The Commonwealth Fund is a private...

...Health Informatics and Healthcare Introduction Health informatics as defined by Shi and Singh 2015, as the application of information science to improve efficiency, accuracy, reliability of healthcare service, and inclusion of healthcare delivery. Healthcare informatics is becoming more complex than any other time in recent memory, the foundation needed to bolster device utilization and interoperability is more expanded, and there is even a more extensive scope of utilization to consider. As the populace ages, there is added pressure to provide patient care choices at home and in the community, implying that medical devices are getting to be a piece of a much bigger ecosystem spreading over the steadily developing continuum. This paper will analyze health informatics and discuss its benefits, trends, current issues, the impact health informatics in healthcare settings, and the role of health managers and the future. An interview will be conducted with a health professional to get their point of view of how health informatics have impacted their workplace, with further discussion of human resources, careers and the future.
