Reflection On Ensuring Charge Nurse Training
I am currently required to complete 280 practice immersion hours. Since I am transferring, I hoping to utilize the hours in San Francisco VA or VISN 21. Can you help me connect with the VISN or SFO VAMC DLO? I have completed the Aspiring Charge Nurse Training Program in VISN 8 during the summer of 2016. We can either replicate it SFO VAMC or initiate it to the VISN (the project is actually a VISN wide program).

Also, just to keep you updated, I haven’t heard from Mr Slover or Ms Gaynor.

    Charge Nurse: An Ethical Dilemma

    The Ethical Dilemma I was tasked with the following case from a charge nurse as part of an ethics consult. A 68 year old man was admitted to the medicine unit from Denver International Airport for altered mental status and aggressive behavior. The patient, from this point forward to be called Mr. Johnson, was found to be acutely infected from a septic wrist joint, but was also found to have frontotemporal dementia. Once the infection cleared, it was hoped that Mr. Johnson’s mental status would improve, but he remained aggressive and lacking in capacity. After much investigating, outside hospital records were found on Mr. Johnson but neither the providers nor case managers were able to find any family or interested parties, and Mr. Johnson…

    Summary: Advanced Practice Registered Nurses

    As advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs), it is vital that one must know how to properly document in electronic records. Concise documentation is deemed necessary for two reasons: 1) to provide adequate quality of care for patients, and 2) to receive prompt payments on furnished services (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid [CMS], 2014). If information is not documented, then you typically will not get paid for it. Furthermore, recording the patient’s story, objective findings, assessment, and treatment plan for the patient all serve as a legal record for the future (Phillips, 2013). This paper will discuss the purpose of evaluation and management (E/M) codes, while summarizing three components of E/M documentation…

    Lvn Paper

    According to the BVNPT (Board of Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technicians) in order to be a Vocational Nurse in the state of California, a person must complete 1530 total hours of training. Five hundred and seventy six of those hours are Theory, while Clinical is nine hundred and fifty four hours. Theory includes Anatomy and Physiology, Psychology, Normal Growth and Development, Rehab Nursing, Maternity Nursing, Nursing Fundamentals, Pediatric Nursing, Med Surg Nursing, Gerontological Nursing, Leadership, Supervising, and Communicable Disease including HIV. Program lengths can vary if you go full time training may take 12-14 months, and if you are going part time training is 18-20 months. If you are a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) you can challenge the BVNPT to become a LVN if you have at least 51 months of paid bedside nursing experience, of this 48 months should be general medical-surgical experience, 6 weeks of maternity or genitourinary nursing, and six weeks of pediatric nursing. The 51 months of experience should have been within the last 10 years and at least half of it within the last 5 years, also you must complete 54 hours of Pharmacology. However if you are a CNA and you challenge the Board your licenses would only be active in California. Another option is completing education and experience as a corpsman in the U.S. Military. This includes 12 months active duty providing direct bedside patient care, completion of basic course in nursing in a branch of the armed forces, and general honorable discharge from the military.…

It is expected that by 2020 the United States will face a shortage of over one million nurses (Buerhaus, Auerback, & Staiger, 2009) and this fact has drawn a great deal of public attention; however, there is also a growing shortage of nurse educators which must be addressed. This paper will discuss the article “The Nursing Shortage Continues as Faculty Shortage Grows,” how the faculty shortage will effect patient care, and propose possible solutions to the shortage.…

    Nurse Staffing In Health Care

    There is a diverse range of aspects related to nursing staffing in health care organizations. Staffing levels in hospitals are likely to have a bearing on the assurance in the delivery of safe and reliable care. However, nursing staffing challenges have remained perennial prompting prolonged attention on the allocation of nurse staffing resources to facilitate patient safety (Weston et al., 2012). Nevertheless, focus on staffing levels has particularly increased with the prevailing shortage of nurses (Rochefort, et al., 2015). Furthermore, there have been changes in the manner nursing is approached. Traditionally, it would be assumed that well-trained practitioners were not prone to errors. Such was consistent with the traditional tendency…
