Nursing Practice Philosophy vs. Educational Philosophy
Point Loma Nazarene University and UCSD Medical Health Center show similarities and differences in their missions and philosophies. Where Point Loma Nazarene University specializes in education to students, UCSD Medical Health Center specializes in providing professional nursing care to the community. Their missions and visions are geared around their individual specialties. At the same time they are similar in respects of teaching, commitment to the community, impacting their communities in positive ways, and professional development.

oth institutions emphasize teaching of students and nurses. Where Point Loma Nazarene University emphasizes excellence in teaching (Mission and Vision, 2012) as in the way it gets delivered to students, USCD Medical Health Center emphasizes teaching as an inspiration (Mission, 2013) where nurses get inspired to teach what they know to others and creates an ongoing teaching inspired environment. Whether it is excellence or inspiration, both aspects create challenges and engage….

sodium chloride being careful to allow the solution to drain from the top of the wound to the bottom and into an appropriate receptacle and/or absorbent material placed on the bed immediately before irrigation. Care must be taken to change sterile gloves after removing old bandages prior to handling the new bandage. A Penrose drain may be inserted where drainage is necessary ((Taylor, Lillis, & LeMone, 2005; 1071).

Infected Wound Care:

Open, infected wounds, particularly those involving deep tissue layers require more attention to sterile procedure. A gown and mask should be worn and care taken not to breathe into the wound. Additional care must be taken not to contaminate healthy tissue with infected or necrotic tissue (Taylor, Lillis, & LeMone, 2005; 1076). Great care should be taken to change sterile gloves in-between removal of the old bandage and cleaning the wound. ed tissue is healthy must be protected from contamination by….

Nursing Practice
The modern practice of nursing is a profession that requires a great deal of academic and clinical training. In that sense, nursing has become a much more complex profession than it ever was before, especially prior to the modern age of scientific medicine. Today, professional nurses must be educated in many advanced areas of science including the use of empirical data in evidence-based nursing practice. However, no matter how complex the profession becomes, the fundamental essence of nursing will always continue to be the concept of caring. That idea is the basis of two of the most important and influential nursing theories: Watson's Caring Theory of Nursing and Leininger's Culture Care or Trans-cultural Care Theory. Together, Watson's and Leininger's approaches to nursing ensure that nursing professionals never forget the importance of caring for the health, safety, and welfare of their patients and that we always provide equality of….

Nursing Research Benefits Our Nursing Practice
One of the most critical strategic challenges currently facing hospitals now and for the foreseeable future is the national nursing shortage. (Corning, 2002). The current nursing shortage is causing great concern and is expected to peak between the years 2010, and 2015 (Woods, & Cardin, 2002). According to Woods and Cardin 2002, "Unlike prior shortages, this one is not cyclical in nature and the solutions will require different and innovative approaches to avert a national public health crisis" (p.326). A great deal of attention has been paid to the root causes of the current and future nursing shortage; aging baby boomers, alternative professional opportunities for women (Woods, & Cardin, 2002), intense assignments, extra shifts, burn out, and little job satisfaction (Inglis, 2004). In order to fully appreciate this situation one must understand that the nursing shortage is, in part, also related to the trend….

Discussion: Applying Interdisciplinary Theories to Nursing PracticeApart from middle range theories, it is important to note that theories from various disciplines are also important in nursing practice given that knowledge gained from the said disciplines impact the health and wellbeing of patients. According to McKenna (2020), it is often difficult to solve human problems by individual disciplines without assistance from other disciplines. For this reason, different theories from other disciplines would be useful to the nursing profession given that ideas drawn from the said disciplines would guide nursing practice and research. As a result, nurses knowledge would expand leading to improved patient care. In this paper, I will discuss how theories from various disciplines impact nursing practice specifically psychiatric nursing. Essentially, the paper will focus on the health belief model and how it can be applied in mental health disorders such as eating disorders.The health belief model is a….

Translational Research
Emphasis for the last thirty years has been on shifting nursing curricula out of hospitals to universities. The education of nurses is now increasingly leaning towards theory. This has led to an obvious gap between what is experienced in the practical healthcare settings by nurses and what is taught in lecture halls (Saifan, AbuRuz, & Masa'deh, 2015).

Nursing practice is just one of the areas of healthcare that is experiencing increased pressure from the dynamic healthcare environment. Each year, as changes in the medical environment become increasingly dynamic, prospects become harder to forecast, and in order to experience success, partnering with other stakeholders becomes essential. The speed of changes in practical nursing is inevitable and will continually increase, as the level of dynamism and interdependence in the practice continues to grow (Jooste, 2011).

nursing practice, the author demonstrated how outcomes research is becoming an efficient method of determining intervention effectiveness and success in the healthcare practice and setting. esnick's article focused on describing the procedure of outcomes research and its implications to healthcare practice and applications to nursing research. Outcomes research is anchored on the discipline and systematic method of determining intervention success by identifying "improvement in health behavior practices" prior and after the given intervention to the patient (507).
A critical and very important aspect of outcomes research is that the process itself is not clinical or experimental in nature. Instead, to remain true to the practice of healthcare provision in a hospital or clinical setting, data is collected as the intervention happens. That is, the whole research process is integrated as the healthcare service or intervention is provided to the patient / subject / participant for the study. This for me….

Nursing According to the Systems and Diffusion of Innovations Theories
The internet and the distribution of electronic health records have changed the way the we receive and use health information but as health professionals and as patients. Particularly, public access to electronic healthcare information denotes that healthcare professionals have an added responsibility where patient education is concerned. Helping to educate patients regarding both their specific conditions as well as how best to evaluate information located online is an important dimension of preventative healthcare. This, in turn, imposes a serious responsibility upon healthcare professionals to effectively acquaint themselves with the technologies and information delivery systems that are currently reshaping the field and profession. The discussion here, drawn from a collection of articles located both via Google Search and the CINAHL database, employs the Systems Theory and the Diffusion of Innovation Theory to assess the way that the nursing profession is changing.

Pharmacology is the study of drugs and their effects on living organisms. It is a vast and complex field that encompasses a wide range of topics, including drug discovery, development, and clinical use. Nurses play a vital role in pharmacology, as they are responsible for administering and monitoring medications, as well as educating patients about their medications (Karch, 2021).
Nurses must have a thorough understanding of pharmacology in order to safely and effectively care for their patients. This includes knowledge of drug mechanisms of action, side effects, and interactions. Nurses must also be able to assess patients for potential drug-related problems and to develop and implement appropriate nursing interventions (Giddings et al., 2021).

Pharmacology is a rapidly evolving field, as new drugs are constantly being developed and approved. Nurses must stay up-to-date on the latest developments in pharmacology in order to provide the best possible care for their patients. This can be….

Leadership for Advanced Practice Nursing 1
Staffing is not the main issue in elevating or containing costs: the main issue is retention. High turnover rates in nursing can drive costs up, but proper staffing with an appropriate ratio of nurses to patients can actually reduce costs over the long-term so long as turnover is not an issue. The reason is that appropriate staffing leads to improvements in quality care delivery (Martin, 2015). And as Rothberg, Abraham, Lindenauer and Rose (2005) point out, improving nurse-to-patient staffing ratios is a cost-effective intervention that—far from being detrimental to cost control—reduces costs because it enables patients to receive better care and reduces the risk of nursing errors being committed as a result of burnout.
Everhart, Neff, Al-Amin, Nogle and Weech-Maldonado (2013) show that in highly competitive markets, the better the nurse-to-patient ratios, the better the reputation of the hospital. The only markets in which increases in staffing….

Nursing: Professional Strategic PlanStrategic planning is only valuable for organizations but also for individuals themselves. On a professional level, strategic planning paves the way for the individual to set goals that he thinks should be accomplished within a certain time frame. In this way, the person would stay focused and motivated to fulfill the tasks that would support him in steering towards his yearly or monthly goals. This paper aims at creating a professional strategic plan that would give direction, crucial for clarity in professional life, based on Boyers Model of Scholarship.Type of Scholarship2-year Plan5-year Plan10-year PlanScholarship of DiscoveryBuilding new knowledge by researching the existing evidence.Building and disseminating the newly gained knowledge to peers and the patientsConsistently forming a link to the new research that would keep coming in the next ten years with professional practice to keep my professional advancementScholarship of IntegrationMaking linkage of the knowledge gained with other….

The first step in writing about non-nursing theory as applied to nursing practice is deciding what theories you are going to use.  Non-nursing theory refers to any theory that is not nursing-specific, which means that there are countless options you could choose to write your paper.  These different theories can be applied, with varying degrees of success, to nursing. The theories we would choose include Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, Erik Erikson’s stages of psychosocial development theory, and Bandura’s social learning theory.  We picked these three because they are the three psychosocial theories....
