Educated Nurses
Matching nurses with the right situation is problematic for medical professionals in today's world where health care demands have taken over many segments of the culture and economy. The ability for quick and easy global travel has also created a new environment where foreigners are working in countries not of their native origin. These ideas meet in Neff et al. (2013) article that examined the utilization of non-U.S. educated nurses in U.S. hospitals and how these actions affected patient outcomes, and specifically hospital mortality as the primary outcome. The data nor the data collection methods impinged upon the human participants, or nurses, who gave their data that was used in the analysis of this study.
The problem associated with this research deals with determining how and under what circumstances U.S. hospital employment of non-U.S. educated nurses is associated with how that hospital performs.

Nurses from countries with transitional economies have RN licensure exam pass rates significantly lower than that of U.S. nursing school graduate."

"Non-U.S.-educated nurses were self-identified from a survey item that asked nurses about the country where they received their basic nursing education. We estimated the percentage of non-U.S.-educated RNs per hospital by dividing the number of non-U.S.-educated nurses in each hospital that responded to the survey by the total number of RNs that responded in each hospital." Nurse job satisfaction was also analyzed in this research with one single question, asking the nurses to rate their job satisfaction and how that impacted patient results. Data from the aforementioned sources also included patient surveys…

Nurses The nursing profession has always attempted to put forward a positive, clean and healthful image. Throughout history the nursing industry has tried to portray nurses as angels of mercy, and as ethically upstanding, helpful healthcare professionals, just a few steps down from doctors in terms of medical needs. But lately the images of nurses has changed and not always for the best. This paper critiques the images of nurses
