A Graduate-level nurse Practitioner program is very demanding. How do you intend to address the demands?
The American healthcare system has been increasing in complexity, with future nursing professionals set to face an extremely challenging care delivery framework. Researchers hint at a continued rise in professional nursing staff shortage, with the nation’s aging population progressively increasing healthcare system demands (American Organization of Nurse Executives, 2008). Healthcare facilities will be hard-pressed to be more cost- and resource- efficient owing to financial pressures (National Advisory Council on Nurse Education and Practice, 2006). This paper will examine a few potential impacts of such demands that result in nursing staff burnout, followed by exploring potential triggers and coping plans. They may also feel:
Nursing Burnout Triggers and Coping Strategies
Nursing staff, indeed, demonstrates high burnout rate, resulting largely from emotional and physical exhaustion and a demanding work setting. An AMA (American Medical Association) journal-published research work revealed that four out of ten hospital nursing staff displayed high burnout scores, with 43.2 percent being in the upper emotional-collapse range. Adoption of the right approaches can aid graduate level nurse practitioners in coping with burnout and delivering superior performance.
Nursing Burnout Symptoms:
Nurse practitioners at the preliminary stage of burnout may:
· Struggle with rising from bed every morning
i. Their patients are unappreciative despite their best efforts
ii. Administrators fail to recognize their efforts
iii. Nobody else cares as much about patients
iv. The management is only concerned with the budget
One unintentional coping mechanism is: ceasing from giving one’s best performance and working perfunctorily, without much empathy towards patients. Though this facilitates coping with stress, it further lowers the nursing professional’s self-esteem, owing to the awareness that they are delivering inferiorly. Cynicism is an indication of all-out burnout.
Triggers:
Burnout arises from a blend of physical and emotional workplace demands, besides nursing profession-specific demands like:
· Understaffing: This is a counterproductive, cost-cutting technique typically employed by healthcare organizations, resulting in psychological and physical overexertion among nursing professionals. According to the MNA’s (Michigan Nurses Association’s) Dawn Kettinger, caring for around twice the number of individuals than one ought…

Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner Program A critical component of nursing is treating a patient's psychological as well as physical needs. I have seen this again and again in my work for an intensive care unit. Every day, more and more patients who are HIV positive come through our doors. HIV can take a tremendous psychological as well as physical toll upon the individual. Additionally, although HIV and AIDS can be contained, the
Manuscript Discussion The Grade Experience of Online Nurse Practitioner Students Who Took More Than One Clinical Course Per Quarter The shortage in primary care physicians has increased the demand for nurse practitioners (NPs). Online NP programs are of interest to working students with other personal and professional life demands. This study examines grade experience differences for students of an online NP program who took more than one clinical course per quarter (OCCPQ)

Nursing Practice Expected to Grow and Change Ageing of population and healthcare providers, coupled with reforms to healthcare, will raise demands for professionals in the field, also expanding existing professionals' required skill sets and roles. Physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, and medical assistants are included in this growth area. Fortunately, healthcare is characterized by a swiftly expanding and large workforce (with 23000 new entrants every month, nationally); this sector progressed
Introduction One of the main objectives of the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion’s Healthy People 2020 campaign is to increase access to care for patients (ODPHP, 2018). However, with more and more primary care physicians leaving primary care for specialized medicine, there is a gap in care coverage. That gap could be filled if advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) were permitted to practice to the full extent of their
