The webinar titled “Succeeding as a Nurse Educator” was presented by Diane Billings, EdD, RN, FAAN. The three objectives for the webinar were to be able to “differentiate between the roles of faculty appointment: teaching, service, and scholarship; implement strategies for working smarter, not harder; and develop a career plan for success as a nurse educator” (Billings, 2013).

Healthcare workers in the United States work together to provide the best possible care for patients that come into their facility. Patients go through different waves of health care professionals before seeing an actual physician. Healthcare systems use a nurse practitioner, which is a registered nurse with more education and specialization, to help treat a patient in a timely manner. According to the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners, NPs have been providing care to patients for over 45 years. The year 2011 has seen 140,000 practicing nurse practitioners in the United States alone, with 9,000 more expected to enter the work force (American Academy of Nurse Practitioners a, 2010). With statistics demonstrating great expectations of

Interpretations of managers or of staff that are being managed can be challenging. Training to be a manager, is a theory, a systems or a processes that keeps a professional persona intact. The dimension to create your own culture and have no regrets . To motivate and mold the staff into the star they should be through acceptance of each and every staff member’s personality (Stettner, 2014). I had the honor to interview Janice, a Nurse Manager of the Palliative/Hospice care unit at a Veteran’s hospital. This hospital cares for many Veterans from telemetry, ICU, Orthopedic, Dementia, PTSD, Mental Health, Long-Term care, and women’s health, as well as the Palliative/Hospice unit. The Veterans Hospital is one of the largest employers in the

Do you want to help save a life in the medical field but not do all the dirty work? Well being a nurse anesthetist is the perfect job for you. You get to be involved with the surgery and you don't need to even touch the insides of another person. Betty Horton, a experienced CRNA, says “Beings a nurse anesthetist is the best job you could ever have. It started my life off and made other things in my life accomplishable.” There are 170,400 jobs available to become a nurse anesthetist. That means there is 170,400 opportunities to help save someone's life. I believe that college is important in order to become a successful nurse anesthetist.

A discussion regarding the health care reform or even health care in general can be somewhat controversial. The definition of health is drastically different depending on whom you speak to. Many would define health as " a person's absence of disease, others would describe good health based on the status of mind, body & social well-being" (GCU Lecture, module 2, 2012). According to The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, health is defined as "The overall condition of an organism at a given time". An individual's overall health affects the nation, this is where stakeholders come into value. According to Keele, Buckner & Bushnell a stakeholder is either an individual or an organization that either invest time and

I am highly interested in attending MASH, because I want to learn first-hand the career I want to pursue. I have wanted to be an Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner ever since my APRN showed me how rewarding it was to help other people by healing them and being there for them in their time of need. This program appeals to me because I am always wanting to learn as much as I can about health care and what it takes to have a health care career. I could bring a positive energy to this program with a smiling face and positive attitude. I am always willing to learn and have an open mind. Attending the lectures, participating in the hands on activities, and shadowing is exactly the opportunity I have been looking for and would be extremely grateful

Genevieve is the business owner of Sister’s Midwife, a homebirth midwifery practice in Central Texas.

In order to gain insight on the most frequently seen healthcare problem, I chose to interview a registered nurse from Georgia Regents Medical Center, Mrs. Denead Buoy RN, MSN. I chose this medical provider because she has had experience in her field for seventeen years. During the interview, I gained valuable information about a disease that she mentioned she sees commonly in her in-patient unit. The disease she noted was diabetes mellitus. During the interview, she gave me information about the disease in terms of its causes, its frequency, and the reason she decided to identity this disease.

I am writing to the Texas Board of Nursing with a written explanation of the events that occurred on the night of October 1, 2011 in Saline, Michigan. On this night I made an irresponsible decision to consume alcohol while being 17 years of age with a group of peers before attending my senior homecoming dance. A police officer that was chaperoning the dance noticed a smell of alcohol lingering with our group and pulled us aside. After being questioned and breathalysed, our parents / guardians were contacted to come pick us up from the school.

Increased accountability and responsibility is my main fear as I enter the health care workforce as a registered nurse. Over the last three years as a student nurse on clinical placement, every shift I was supervised and overlooked by a registered nurse at all times. As well as being provided a diverse range of advice and techniques to use when applying my nursing practice. As a nursing student it gave me room for minor errors, as I always had someone to correct it and demonstrate efficient practice. Yet knowing next year I will have to carry the responsibilities of a nurse independently puts a different perspective on my year ahead. A registered nurse is accountable and responsible for their own actions and distribution of care to enrolled nurses and a number of other health care workers (Nursing Midwifery Board of Australia, 2006). According to a Nursing Times paper, accountability and responsibility is a key stressor in transitioning from a graduate nurse to a fully qualified nurse (Whitehead and Holmes 2011).

The Essentials of Master’s Education in Nursing by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing defined nurse leader role that aligns with Yvette Whittaker role as the director of quality management. American Association of Colleges of Nursing (2011) describes that a master prepared nurse must be effective in the methods, tools, performance measures, safety principles and quality standards and must be well prepared to apply quality principle within an organization. In addition, the role of the master prepared nurse is to analyze, monitor and prioritize the outcomes that need improvement then create a plan of action (American Association of Colleges of Nursing, 2011).

She went on to add that she was initially unsure about being a nurse manager, she was encouraged to apply by her the Administrative Director and once promoted, she was given little
