Professional Nursing And State-Level Regulations

Boards of Nursing (BONs) exist in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Virgin Islands. Similar entities may also exist for different regions. The mission of BONs is the protection of the public through the regulation of nursing practice. BONs put into practice state/region regulations for nurses that, among other things, lay out the requirements for licensure and define the scope of nursing practice in that state/region.

It can be a valuable exercise to compare regulations among various state/regional boards of nursing. Doing so can help share insights that could be useful should there be future changes in a state/region. In addition, nurses may find the need to be licensed in multiple states or regions.

Assignment: Regulation For Nursing Practice Staff Development Meeting

Nursing is a very highly regulated profession. There are over 100 boards of nursing and national nursing associations throughout the United States and its territories. Their existence helps regulate, inform, and promote the nursing profession. With such numbers, it can be difficult to distinguish between BONs and nursing associations, and overwhelming to consider various benefits and options offered by each.

Both boards of nursing and national nursing associations have significant impacts on the nurse practitioner profession and scope of practice. Understanding these differences helps lend credence to your expertise as a professional. In this Assignment, you will practice the application of such expertise by communicating a comparison of boards of nursing and professional nurse associations. You will also share an analysis of your state board of nursing. Assignment: Regulation For Nursing Practice Staff Development Meeting

ORDER A PLAGIARISM – FREE PAPER NOW

Initial Post Instructions
St. Augustine in the 5th Century held that we are free to make choices in life. This is the idea of free will. It may seem at first glance odd for a religious thinker to say that we have free will. After all, if God exists, then God created all things. God knows already what we will do. God can cause anything to occur. If we cause things to occur, that seems to be a limitation on the power of God and not make God all-powerful.

There are also religion traditions that say that we have no free will. There are some theologians in Islam who seem to suggest that is true. In order for this line of reasoning to hold true, one would need to believe free will is an illusion and that we have no control over how we live our lives, but rather that we are puppets moving and acting due to God’s will and the powers of destiny and fate. And if this then in the case, how can we possibly be responsible for our actions?

The considerations above show us to what degree our religious beliefs can shape us. For instance, someone who believes in free will may experience way more guilt than someone who believes we don’t have free will and thus aren’t responsible for the choices (and consequences) of the actions we take.

Personal struggles with religion and ethics occur in many places, including in the healthcare arena. Consider the following: You are a nurse in a hospital. A 12 year-old was brought to the hospital by an ambulance. The parents have just arrived at the hospital. This 12 year-old has lost a large amount of blood and requires a transfusion. The parents happen to be members of a religion that believes that blood transfusions are immoral. They want to remove the child from the hospital and prevent the transfusion even if it means the death of the child. You have to decide whether or not you will participate in an action that violates the will of the parents and aid in providing blood for the child. If you choose to participate, and even if you are able to legally justify it, you have to think about the distress you are creating for the parents. If you refuse to aid here, you may be subject to retaliation from the hospital. What is the moral thing for the nurse to do here? Discussion: Religion and Ethics

Initial Post Instructions
For the initial post, address the following questions:

  1. What would a divine command ethicist say is the moral thing to do here? Why would they say that? Do you agree with the divine command ethics? Why or why not?
  2. Evaluate what a natural law ethicist would say is right to do. Do you agree with them? Why or why not?
  3. Given what you said are the right things to do, what would an emotivist say about your positions and judgments? What role does subjectivity play here in determining what is ethical?

Family Home Health

Family Home Health is a small community-based provider of in-home nursing and therapy. It is a division of the local community hospital. The service employs the equivalent of 15 full-time staff members and currently has about 100 patients. Its vision and mission statements are:

Vision: With a focus on aging adults and rural health care, we will be the leader, partner, and provider for health care delivery in our community.
Mission: Family Home Health provides a spectrum of services with special concern for the community. The organization is committed to providing high-quality services. Family Home Health

The home care agency is unable to create a sustainable model as the reimbursements received are below the costs of operating the program. The hospital is considering discontinuing the home care business.

The proposed termination of the home care division has met with much opposition throughout the community. There is no other viable home care agency to serve many of the current patients, though services are available in a larger community 50 miles away.

Many physicians are angry. As community hospital employees, physicians value the home care agency to refer patients for follow-up care. The home care agency staff enjoy their roles in providing care and value the freedom in the home care atmosphere. They will be unemployed if the agency closes because the parent hospital currently has a hiring freeze and cannot offer positions to these employees.

Community leaders are concerned. They built the foundations for both the hospital and the home care agency. The issues of financial viability have not been a priority as much as serving the needs of the community. In the past, fundraising was sufficient to provide the needed resources, but times have changed. Family Home Health

You are a member of the board of directors, and it is your task to maintain a fiscally responsible organization while remaining true to the community hospital mission and vision. Based on the information, determine your response to this situation. Do the following:

  • Complete a SWOT analysis or use the BSC approach to the dilemma.
  • State your decision to close or not close the home care agency. Give reasons for your decision.
  • If you decide to close the agency, explain how you will minimize the negative impact on the stakeholders.
  • If you decide to not close the agency, explain how you will address its financial difficulties.

Summary of strengths:

 

After carefully completing the Clinical Skills Self-Assessment Form checklist, here are my strengths;

1. I am effectively able to ensure the completion of a thorough and precise physical exam making use of the proper methods while concentrating on the symptoms of the patient. Additionally, I am also able to apply the use of appropriate methods in assessing patients as warranted to ensure a precise and effective diagnosis. I plan to regularly practice them in community health clinics and in medical wards for the examination of patients (Klemenc‐Ketis et al., 2014).

2. I am also able to apply the use of effective verbal communication as well as interpersonal skills when meeting with patients and other healthcare professionals. Moreover, I have discovered that I am patient and able to maintain a positive attitude when under pressure while also being able to effectively communicate in writing as well as verbally.

3. I strongly believe in educating the patients on what they are going through, the procedures to expect and how to basically increase their quality of life. Currently, many patients that I have encountered in the hospital environment have showed self-care deficit or non-compliance due to lack of knowledge or medical literacy (Buppert, 2020). Providing them with education is important as I believe it provides them with a great autonomy and self-empowerment. Assignment 2: Practicum Experience Plan

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Opportunities for growth:

 

My opportunities for growth include;

1. I would like to apply to a physician assistant graduate program. As a nurse practitioner, I never want to stop improving. The love for patients drives my desire to constantly learn and develop new skill sets (Krautter et al., 2014).

2. I would also like to build my network and advance my career. Networking, collaborating, meeting new colleagues, and building relationships is important my professional development and career advancement. Assignment 2: Practicum Experience Plan
