Discussion

One of the most significant mid-range theories of nursing is the Madeleine Leininger’s Theory of Transcultural Nursing. The theory falls in the middle-range category because it accesses the total picture of a phenomenon.

The assumptions underpinning the theory

Theories are imaginary concepts that help in generating and guiding practice in a research making most theorists base their theories on assumptions. The Leininger’s Theory of Transcultural Nursing aims at promoting a culture of care and ensuring universal delivery of care (Leininger & National League for Nursing, 2001). The theory operates under a number of assumptions that expound on the use of some terms such ...

Nurse educators place emphasis on the importance of continuing education in advancing the nursing profession. They have a sole responsibility of informing their peers, patients, student nurses, and communities concerning limitless health issues.

In response to this week’s discussion, I will discuss some of the ways through which I have demonstrated my function as an educator at My Home Clinic.

The play Fences by August Wilson is set in the American urban setting in 1957. After the end of the Civil War and the Reconstruction, it is clear that the White Americans and the Black Americans had been segregated in almost all areas of life (Tribute To August Wilson 1). These arenas included buses, schools, and even in sport, for instance, baseball. The play gives a practical example of a great player whose dream is crushed along racial lines, despite being good in the game of baseball. Troy Maxson, who is the protagonist in the play, defines his life ...

THE DESCRIPTION OF THE ISSUE

The focus on patient safety and quality of care has placed many demands on the healthcare system. One of the pertinent issues that have been explored as having an impact on the quality of care and patient safety is the nurse staffing ratios. The Joint Commission identifies that staffing levels have a profound impact on the occurrence of sentinel adverse events, injuries, deaths as well as permanent functional losses in patients undergoing care (American Nurses Association, 2016). With low staffing levels, the workload on the nurses and the healthcare personnel is heavy amidst the need satisfy all aspects of ...

Individual’s productivity in any working environment is measured by tracking that person’s performance. People work differently depending on the environment they are based in. Individuals who work on a commission based salary tend to work harder and efficiently than an individual who is working for no salary or someone who works for the government. The best industry that monitors one’s productivity is baseball. It uses a wide range of statistical tools to analyze one’s performance in the game. Statistics plays a very important role in baseball than any sport because it has structured flow; and ...

Nursing professionalism

Since medieval times, the concept of nursing care has been associated with an array of meanings ranging from the provision of basic care to the young, sick and elderly to Nigthingale’s 1858 definition of the goal of nursing as being to put the patient in the most appropriate condition for nature processes to act upon him to current definitions by nursing theorists and professional nursing bodies. For example, the American Nurses Association (1995) defined nursing as the “diagnosis and treatments of human responses to health and illness” (Brunner, Bare & Smeelter, 2009, p.5). Based on these definitions and depending ...

IOM Recommendation on Nursing Education

IOM Recommendation on Nursing Education The American population is increasingly diverse and aging. This demographic shift has implications for the health care system. Chronic disease experienced as comorbidities with attendant disability among older adults increases the demand for acute and long-term care. Chronic disease is also prevalent in the younger population and increasing among children.

It is a moment that the nurses should move their roles from care management to health care policy making. Nurses have good communication and leadership skills.

Engagement of nurses in the board of governance is very important. This is because it allows the nurses to participate in decision making processes that directly or indirectly affect their work. The specific contributions that nurses serve in the board of governance include; providing the board with knowledge ...

Introduction:

A wealth of historians have written on baseball and football during the World War II era. However, there is precious little devoted to the political complexities between the Roosevelt Administration, Major League Baseball, and to a lesser extent the National Football League. Patriotism was good for business, however loosing players to the war effort was not, nor were direct financial contributions to the war effort. Major league sports teams are businesses and have to attend to maintaining a financial bottom line in order to remain viable. Little has been done to examine if Major League Baseball (MLB), the National Football League ( ...

#1. Patient-centered care Today’s healthcare system has changed dramatically in terms of the methods or procedures adopted in the provision of care. Apart from the technological inventions that have immensely transformed care and the need for critical thinking skills for nurses in decision-making, there has been more focus on the provision of patient-centered care. This entails the individualization of the care process to suit the individual needs of the patient (DiGioia, 2014). This approach has been adopted highly due to the changing demographics and the public awareness programs that have advocated for more involvement of the patient ...

Part 1

In the modern world, it is believed that beyond a certain age an individual should have completed education which comprises of primary, secondary and college level. Normally, when a person is past a certain age and has gone through this system, then that is taken as a personal decision of the individual not to learn any fur.

Anytime a nursing student is questioned as to why he/she chose nursing as a career path, the most obvious answer they usually give is that they had the intention of learning how to save lives. Today, if someone asked me why I decided to join the nursing class in college, I’m most likely to give the same answer. However, the actual reason as to why I decided to embark on this career path was, because I did not consider myself smart enough to pursue medicine. I never really wanted to be a nurse since I had a misguided mentality on the nursing ...

The TIGER Initiative

Rapid expansion and advances in health technology require nurses practicing in the 21st century to have a range of competencies in informatics ranging from basic computer skills to advanced competencies in information technology and information literacy.

This prompted the formation of the TIGER initiative in 2004. This paper will describe this initiative and its implications for health care. The acronym TIGER stands for Technology Informatics Guiding Education Reform. It is a grassroot initiative formed by a cluster of leaders derived ...

Persuasive Essay in Nursing: Sigma Theta Tau

Nursing as a profession relies more on the experience and knowledge of the health care nurses within the hospital or clinic set ups. Professional nursing may have developed right from the time of Florence Nightingale through various processes, but all have been as a result of dedicated institutions and personnel within the nursing field and medical fraternity in general. However, it is lack of good training and up to date training curriculum that renders most nurses and nursing facilities quite ineffective within a very sensitive sector of any economy (Hott, Budin, & Notter, 2006). Nurses, being among the most important professionals in ...
