    The chart above shows salaries and wages for the Chesapeake, Virginia Police Department. The chart illustrates the current salaries and wages, as well as what it would look like with different pay raises. The current salary is listed first, followed by a 2 percent increase, then an increase of 4 and 5 percent. The effect of pay raises for the department, would mean the overall city budget would be affected. Historically the department has received minimal salary increases. This past year salaries and wages saw only a 0.3% pay increase. Employee benefits did raise a modest 3.8%. The department seems overdue for a pay raise that would at least equal the cost of living increases. A 4% increase would appear to be the appropriate raise for the department for FY 2014.…

    Advanced practice nursing is a growing and evolving career in nursing. Understanding the definition and the core roles of an Advanced Practice Nurse is imperative. According to the Consensus Model, “Advanced practice registered nurses are licensed independent practitioners who are expected to practice within standards established or recognized by a licensing body.” (Consensus Model for APRN Regulation: Licensure, Accreditation, Certification & Education, 2008) There are several licensing bodies that regulate the requirements for Advanced Practice Nurses. In this paper I will be comparing the regulations between the New Jersey Board of Nursing and the Consensus…

    There is no definition of the term "role stress" in the dictionary, so first the article examines the concept of stress alone. Although it is a common term in modern-day vocabulary, its meaning is vague. In the 1930 's Hans Seyle, an endocrinologist who was the first to demonstrate the existence of biological stress, describes stress as the phenomenon of any living organisms experiencing any form of strain (The Canadian Medical Hall of Fame, 2014). In 1966, another definition proposed the inclusion of stress ' result on behavior. "Stress, as a universal human and animal phenomenon, results in an intense distressing experience and appears to be of tremendous influence in behavior" (Riahi, 2011, p. 722). Later in 2003, a definition more focused within the nursing profession transpired. The author of the description said that stress occurred when demands placed upon a person exceed the available resources the individual possesses in order to manage (Riahi, 2011). Still without a definition for role stress, a description for occupational stress was introduced. It stated," any force that pushes a psychological or physical factor beyond its range of ability, producing strain within an individual" (Riahi, 2011, p. 723) is considered occupational stress. Eventually, the concept of role stress acquired a…

    Thank you, Rhonda, for sharing this information. I support the way you have decided to improve your practice by “Setting examples of continuing to comfort the afflicted.” Nursing is all about caring. Since the time of Florence Nightingale, the nursing goal is to provide safe and comfortable care to the patient. This will promote health and wellbeing (Selanders & Crane, 2012). Mr. Rory Rochelle, Director of Nursing and Allied Health Education Nursing says that caring, altruism and holism are important qualities to have as a nurse (Qualities in Nursing, n.d.). The primary role of a nurse is to provide care (The Essentials of baccalaureate education for professional nursing practice, 2008). Theories help nurses to organize care and also to direct…

    This discussion board is about the scope of nursing practice. The scope of nursing is defined by each individual state with the help of the American Nurses Association. The purpose of this posting is to define the scope of nursing practice by the Ohio Board of Nursing and the American Nurses Association. The American Nurses Association states that the scope of nursing practice must answer the questions of “who,” “what,” “where,” “when,” ““why,” and “how” to describe its complete picture, complex practice, and ever-changing boundaries (American Nursing Association, 2010, pp 2).…

    The Advanced Practice Nurse (APN) is a leader and team member who is capable of diagnosing, treating, and providing follow-up care to a variety of patients. Depending on the state in which the APN is licensed will determine his or her scope of practice. The three different levels the APN can practice are full, reduced, or restricted (Expanded roles, 2015). In some states, the APN is completely autonomous while in other states the APN might need the supervision or collaboration of a physician. The state of New Jersey requires the APN to have a collaboration agreement with a physician. Research validates that APNs’ provide quality, safe, and evidence-based care (Torre & Drake, 2014). In order to increase public access to health care, all states…

    I agree the Nursing Practice (DNP) prepares nurses with the degree to meet the increased need by providing leadership in community health centers, serving on interdisciplinary teams, and advocating for and directing future policy initiates. As primary care providers, the role of the DNP can be enhanced through the use of a primary care models that addresses the associated challenges related to increasing preventative care in the healthcare system. Although DNP are leaders, barriers need to be removed so that DNPs can provide the care they have been prepared to offer ( Lathrop & Hodnicki, 2014). Healthcare continues to change and is a life-long learning process that requires nurses to keep up with that change.…
