...Why a BSN is the future over ADN Jeffrey Parker Grand Canyon University NRS-430V-O104 August 31, 2013 Associate -Degree Versus the Baccalaureate - degree level in nursing My theory is that the more education a nurse has the better he/she can be at their job of taking care of patient as a whole and on a complex level. To obtain a Nursing Degree one can start at the LVN or go all the way to a PHD in nursing. This paper will focus on the abilities or competencies of a prepared Associate Degree nurse, and the abilities or competencies of a Baccalaureate Degree Nurse. This is a hot topic now and has been for many years. I have been hearing for many years that ADN will be phased out, and only BSN will be used in the future. The time period in which to mandate this event is governed differently by the state where the nurse works. There are catchy phrases out there like BNS in 10, or BSN by 2020. “As of 2010, at least 18 states, including New York, New Jersey, were considering BSN in 10 legislation.” (nursing link 2011, 07.) The first step is to define nursing. “Nursing is the knowledge based discipline, which focuses on the wholeness of human being.” (studymode, 2012,02.) The ADN nurse and BSN take a different approach in teaching their students. They both take the same state mandated NCLEX, but have a different time of training. “The Associated Degree takes a shorter path of two years where the BSN takes a longer with 4 years of education to complete the degree.” (studymode...

...How the IOM Report will Impact Nursing Education and Nursing Practice. Lisa Arroyo Grand Canyon University Professional Dynamics NRS-430V Professor Varnell Hudson August 28, 2013 How the IOM Report will Impact Nursing Education and Nursing Practice. The focus of the report is to show a need for more education for the graduate level nurse and a continued education plan for nurses already in the field. The IOM cited many reports that touched on the need for diversity amongst nursing graduates to meet the need to function as leaders and the dimensions of health professionals to deliver safe and excellent patient care (Johnson, 2010). The transformation of clinical practice key message was changing a nurse’s role (Johnson, 2010). This would require changing the old nurse roll to a more involved role using critical thinking, clinical judgment and nursing process (Creasia, 2011). The focus on other topics beyond the provision the NCLEX-RN would need to alter the test to encompass a more diverse multitude of questions that would be considered critical thinking (Johnson, 2010). The impact of the IOM report on transforming education is to incorporate more consistent competencies among nursing schools (Johnson, 2010). By providing nursing facilities with strategies to integrate quality and safety content into their curricula, with an interactive course work focused on a six core Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN), competencies. Using a Train the Trainer...

...their formal education; (2) Recent studies have indicated that there are improved patient outcomes in hospitals which employ higher educated nurses; (3) A poor economy during a nursing shortage means high demand and less incentive for nurses to return to school for higher education; and (4) The worsening faculty shortage means an increased need for nurses to advance their education. Understanding nurses’ attitudes and perceptions may help identify gaps in our knowledge, determine ways to foster positive attitudes toward education learning among nurses, and allow us to entice nurses to return to school. It may also identify crucial steps to ensure the provision of quality healthcare.

...Competency: Analysis of the Concept Michelle Trigg University of South Alabama Abstract Understanding the nature and meaning of nursing competency is the initial step in having an unambiguous definition of its practice. All healthcare professionals, including nurses, may only prove to be proficient in their capabilities if they are able to perform comprehensive assessments related to the provision and maintenance of safe and efficient care, the protection of all members of the general public, and the undertaking of all necessary actions in order to preserve the nursing profession. Any and all standards that are established, based on such a perspective, must be adhered to in practice and for the purpose of nursing evaluation. This paper will evaluate and explore the concept of competency and the ways in which the nursing profession integrates the many aspects of competency. Keywords: competence, competency, concept analysis Competency: Analysis of the Concept The concept of competency in nursing is a professional regulation and is extremely important to patient safety and outcomes. In the past, competency in nursing focused on evaluating clinical skills, and not the actual ability(ies) or comprehension of the science behind them (Allen et al., 2008). Nurse competency is a requirement in the clinical setting, and outlines the dimensions...

...Concepts Analysis Paper Demis Rey BSN Theoretical Foundations of Advanced Nursing Kaplan University March 10, 2014 The concept of Quality has a close relation with nursing practices. Higher quality healthcare is the common goal of all healthcare team and improving healthcare quality has become the common focal point of all healthcare organization. Quality has become an important issue for healthcare facilities facing a changing of healthcare environment (Tsai, & Wu, 2013). Quality is derived from the Latin “quails” and is defined as essential character of nature…an inherent or distinguishable attribute or property, a character “trait” and is defined as superiority of kind and degree or grade of excellent (Wicks, & Roethlein, 2009). Every quality expert defines quality somewhat differentially, and there are a variety of perspectives than can be taken in defining quality. The most widely concept of quality is the Industrial Organization Society (IOS) definition as “the degree to wish a set of inherent characteristics fulfill requirements” (Wicks, & Roethlein, 2009, p. 85). The psychological concept is closely aligned with the dictionary definition when quality relates to logic: “quality is the positive or negative character of a proposition” (The Merriam-Webster Dictionary, 2014). Quality is a set of characteristics or properties, as supported by the multidimensional definitions of quality. Quality can focus on excellence or can be viewed as the degree of a...

...Chapter I The Problem and Its Background Introduction Nursing involves specialized skills and application of knowledge based on education that has both theoretical and clinical components. Nursing upholds standards set forth by professional organizations and follows an established code of ethics. The concerns of nursing focus on human responses to actual or potential health problems and are increasingly focus on wellness, an area of caring that encompasses nursing’s unique knowledge and abilities. Nursing is rich in tradition, which is used to develop and redefine both the art and science of nursing. Furthermore, nursing is increasingly being recognized as scholarly with academic qualifications, research, and publication specific to nursing is increasingly becoming more widely accepted and respected. Background of the Study One of the major issues in nursing currently involves nursing education. Nursing profession provides a single route for the educational preparation of its practitioners. However, the development of nursing as a profession has resulted in three major educational routes that prepare graduates to write the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) for registered nursing. The three traditional educational avenues that prepare men and women for registered nursing are hospital-based diploma programs, 2-year associate degree programs (primarily found at junior and community colleges), and baccalaureate programs (offered at 4-year colleges...

...The Norwegian Version of the Pediatric Nurses’ Knowledge and Attitudes Survey Regarding Pain: Reliability and Validity Kari Raaum Hovde, Tone Høilo Granheim, Knut-Andreas Christophersen, Alfhild Dihle P ain in children is still both under-estimated and under-treated (Bell et al., 2009; Liossi, 2006; Stinson, Yamada, Dickson, Lamba, & Stevens, 2008; Zempsky, Cravero, & the Committee on Pediatric Emergency Medicine and Section of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, 2004). Inadequate treatment of pain in children may cause many negative psychological and physiological consequences, such as fear and anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, increased risk of infections, and delayed wound healing. In addition, poor pain control may result in increased length of stay in the hospital, contribute to the development of chronic pain, and even lead to death (American Academy of Pediatrics [AAP] & American Pain Society [APS], 2001; Liossi, 2006; Schechter, Berde, & Yaster, 2003; Vincent, 2005; Zempsky et al., 2004). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Norwegian version of the Pediatric Nurses’ Knowledge and Attitudes Survey Regarding Pain (PNKAS-N) in nurses who work with children in pain. The PNKAS was translated into Norwegian in accordance with international guidelines and pilot tested with 10 nurses. The reliability was estimated using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient and the test-retest method using Pearson’s r coefficient. Construct validity...

...GOFF, ANNE-MARIE, Ph.D. Stressors, Academic Performance, and Learned Resourcefulness in Baccalaureate Nursing Students. (2009) Directed by Dr. David F. Ayers. 135 pp. Despite extensive research establishing that stress affects problem-solving ability and coping, and leads to decreased learning, academic performance, and retention in nursing students, a paucity of research explores specific factors that could enhance these learning processes and outcomes. This explanatory correlational study examines the mediating effect of learned resourcefulness, the ability to regulate emotions and cognitions, on the relationships of stressors—both personal and academic—to academic performance in baccalaureate nursing students. Gadzella’s Student-life Stress Inventory (SSI) and Rosenbaum’s Self-Control Scale (SCS), a measure of learned resourcefulness, were administered to 53 junior level baccalaureate nursing students (92.5% female; 84.9% Caucasian; 9.4% African-American or Black) at a large urban university in North Carolina. High levels of both personal and academic stressors were revealed, but were not significant predictors of academic performance (p = .90). Age was a significant predictor of academic performance (p < .01) and both males and African-American/ Black participants had higher learned resourcefulness scores on the SCS than females and Caucasians. Total stress scores on the Student-life Stress Inventory showed that male participants perceived less stress (N = 4, M = 116.5)...
