A career in the medical field provides millennials with a sense of financial stability, whereas most

Healthcare professionals are typically more satisfied with their occupations than other career
professionals because of their ability to choose what is important to them. Besides income and
variety, medical occupations also involve helping others and saving lives. Medical professionals and

doctors and other healthcare professionals are very highly thought of. Medical doctors usually
receive a higher level of respect and trust compared to other types of occupation professionals
(Doctorly, 2014). Professionals of any occupation want to be trusted by their clients, but the best
relationships of trust and care are built through doctors of all types and their patients. When students
get to help heal, treat, and end suffering to patients it gives both them and the patient happiness. Not

The Mission Of Duke 's School Of Nursing
Graduating from Duke University has been my dream for as long as I can remember. The mission of
Duke's school of nursing corresponds with my goal to improve the quality of life for people in my
community; a poor, rural area. Always fascinated by anatomy and physiology, in high school I first
took a health occupations class. I was immediately captivated with taking this knowledge that came
so easily to me, and using it to help others improve their health and well–being.
I've been a nurse for over 11 years, primarily as a staff nurse on the medical/surgical and intensive
care units at the local hospital. During this time I've worked closely with other team members
including nurse educators, nurse specialists, and nurse practitioners. All of these advanced practice
nurses displayed a significant degree of knowledge and compassion regarding patient care. Like
myself, they all also have a tremendous amount of passion for influencing patients to improve their
health and thereby improve their lives and have the best outcomes possible during illnesses. While I
imagine even physicians want to help all people and at some point, we all feel we are destined to
save the world, the nurses I've encountered work to put this into practice.

Introduction
Our community hosts a variety of advanced practice nursing occupations. Clinical nurse leaders,
nurse educators, nurse administrators, and clinical nurse specialists, along with nurse practitioners,
augment the role of the nurse with higher education. Joel define advanced practice nursing as nurses
assisting patients with medical maintenance in nearby areas (2013). Many universities offer masters
and doctorate programs, which educate nurses to fulfill a higher standard of care.

Typically they work in one dedicated area or on a particular nursing floor, and they work either in a
healthcare institution or outside of an organization (Joel, 2013). Difficulties arise when it comes to
repayment by insurance companies and patients for clinical nurse specialist's expertise. According to
Joel, more effort needs to be applied in regards to these glitches to ensure proper disbursement of
monies for cares assumed by the clinical nurse specialist (2013).
Doctoral or masters educated nurses can fulfill the role of nurse administrator. Administrative
advanced practice nurses must speak effectively among staff, make decisions, and develop tasks to
enhance care, regulate care, and understand expenses (Zaccangnini & White, 2017).
According to "Frequently Ask Questions, an article from the American Associate of Colleges of
Nursing, clinical nurse leader works in a specific area and deliver expertise to complicated patients.
A clinical nurse leader requires a master's degree in order to satisfy patient's needs. The clinical

The Causes And Effects Of Work Organization Hazards
Imagine not being able to eat, drink, or use the restroom for twelve consecutive hours. These
working conditions account for nearly 78 percent of nurses in the hospital today. According to
Jordin Purcell–Riess, who is a registered nurse at Saint Francis Hospital in Hartford, Connecticut,
being a nurse is probably the "worst job in the world." She also stated that " The hallways are
always full of ill patients on a stretcher and as soon as you can get your ICU patient upstairs, there's
another one waiting for you." Work Organization Hazards can cause impaired task performance,
nurses' burnout and PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) which can result in high blood pressure,
anxiety, and depression. By creating a schedule with adequate breaks to prevent feeling
overwhelmed, positive reaffirmations and healthy lifestyle choices, work organization hazards can
be avoided. Work Organization Hazards (WOHs) are problems associated with workplace issues
that can cause stress (short–term) and strain (long–term) on the body. WOHs are common in settings
such as laboratories, hospitals, and nursing homes. WOHs pose Psychological risks which include
the inability to concentrate, depression, anxiety, negative thinking and memory lapse. Psychological
problems often lead to behavioral effects which can lead to the developing habits such as drinking

Unpredictable care delivery needs provide clinical nurse specialists with unique and interesting daily

challenge. Due to their enhanced skill sets and responsibilities, clinical nurse specialists make
significant impacts on caregiving. Nursing professionals choosing this career shape organizational
policies and procedures, and for half a century have led the caregiving community through many
innovations. Historically, the medical community made little effort to distinguish the clinical nurse
specialist and nurse practitioner role. However, society's reliance on nurse practitioners to fill the
United States physician shortage now requires state boards to delineate the disciplines for regulatory
reasons.

Rates of musculoskeletal injuries from overexertion in healthcare occupations are among the highest

According to Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), in 2011, the rate of overexertion injuries averaged
across all industries was 38 per 10,000 full–time workers (CDC, 2016). By comparison, for hospital
workers, the overexertion injury rate was twice the average (76 per 10,000), and the rate for nursing
home workers was over three times the average (132 per 10,000) (CDC, 2016).

These motions are often related to patient handling (OSHA, 2013). Hospital workers face numerous
risk factors for musculoskeletal injuries (MSIs) in the workplace, such as back and shoulder injuries
(Waters, Collins, Galinsky, & Caruso, 2006). These injuries are associated with excessive back and
shoulder loading due to lifting heavy loads during manual patient handling, applying excessive
forces during the pushing and pulling of objects, required use of awkward postures during patient
care, and working long hours (Waters et al., 2006).
According to a national survey drawn from 53 healthcare systems with roughly 1,000 hospitals in all
50 states, patient handling injuries accounted for 25 percent of all workers' compensation claims for
the healthcare industry in 2011 (OSHA, 2013). On average, a workers' compensation claim related
to patient handling costs $15,600 (OSHA, 2013). In addition to these direct costs, there are
numerous indirect costs from patient handling injuries – employee turnover, training, overtime,
incident investigation time, and productivity (OSHA, 2013). These indirect costs can increase the
total cost of patient handling injuries by two to four times (OSHA, 2013). According to a study, the

was Texas Occupations Code, section 157.011 (b–1) which deals with APRN restrictions on writing
prescriptions for Schedule two controlled substances. The TNA website states:
Texas Occupations Code, Section 157.0511 (b–1) states that an APRN may prescribe Schedule IIs in
a hospital. The law does not say that APRNs may prescribe but must fill the prescription in a
hospital. If patient feel more comfortable going to their local pharmacy to fill their prescription, then
state boards should not prohibit them from doing so (TNA, 2016).
While in the hospital APRNs can prescribe schedule two substances and must be filled in the
hospitals pharmacy. The APRN is restricted in which they cannot write these prescriptions for
patients to fill in an outside pharmacy (TNA, 2016). TNA states the Following:

Importance Of Leadership As A Nurse Practitioner
Leadership as a Nurse Practitioner After taking the Leadership quiz I discovered that my leadership
style is Participative. Participative leaders often ask the opinion of group members and solving
problems but ultimately make the final decision. I agree with my findings and I often apply this
leadership style at work. I find myself asking other coworkers their opinion on how to troubleshoot
a problem. In the nursing occupation it is very important to have teamwork. Being a participative
leader exemplifies teamwork. This displays that I value the opinions of my coworkers and feel that
everyone should be able to make recommendations and suggestions and as a leader I can take those
ideas and make a final decision. On my unit I was a charge nurse and as a charge nurse I always
tried to include the recommendations of my coworkers. As a Family Nurse Practitioner teamwork
will be uniformly important. This will be extremely important as a novice nurse practitioner. I will
need to rely on mentors and experienced nurse practitioners for advice. In addition establishing a
rapport with my patients and working together with them as a team is very important. This will

per credit hour ("CNA Programs: Tuition & Fees"). Certainly, this may differ depending on the
school you choose to attend but imagine if you could get this training for free. William M. Davies,

support to patients, as well as educate them regarding the management and care of various illnesses.
As a registered nurse, my responsibilities and duties may include administering medications,
monitoring patients' progress, attending to their needs, managing IV lines, and providing assistance

Selecting A Career Is Like Choosing A Character When...
Choosing a career is like choosing a character when playing a game. A person has to stick with that
character throughout the whole game unless that person restarts the plot. As humans, we have to
work in order to survive in most cases. When choosing a career, it is what we're usually stuck with
until retirement, unless we go back to school or some other opportunity is given. As a freshman in
college, I still have the chance to switch my major before I make any regrets. I took a self–
assessment test and researched the careers that were best suited for me which was a nurse,
physiotherapist, occupational therapist, and physician. To become a nurse midwife, one of the
advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs), one must earn a master's degree from an accredited
program. However, an individual has to become a registered nurse before he/she can become a
midwife or practitioner. Most programs require a bachelor's degree in nursing, but there can be some
cases of having an associate's or diploma in nursing (BLS, 2015a). A student will need to take
specific classes to enter the nursing program, and pass an exam provided by the nursing program in
order to be accepted. Pre–nursing typically takes about 2 years, and the nursing program
(specifically at UNLV) is a 16–month program. On a daily basis, nurse midwives record a patient's

Always fascinated by anatomy and physiology, in high school I first took a health occupations class. I was immediately captivated with taking this knowledge that came so easily to me, and using it to help others improve their health and well–being. I've been a nurse for over 11 years, primarily as a staff nurse on the medical/surgical and intensive care units at the local hospital. During this time I've worked closely with other team members including nurse educators, nurse specialists, and nurse practitioners. All of these advanced practice nurses displayed a significant degree of knowledge and compassion regarding patient care. Like myself, they all also have a tremendous amount of passion for influencing patients to improve their health and thereby improve their lives and have the best outcomes possible during illnesses.

I was debating on becoming a physical therapist, an anesthesiologist, or a nurse throughout middle school and high school. Ultimately, I decided to pick nursing because I felt the most familiar with it with my mother being a nurse and coming from a bloodline of nurses.

These working conditions account for nearly 78 percent of nurses in the hospital today. According to Jordin Purcell–Riess, who is a registered nurse at Saint Francis Hospital in Hartford, Connecticut, being a nurse is probably the "worst job in the world."

Due to their enhanced skill sets and responsibilities, clinical nurse specialists make significant impacts on caregiving. Nursing professionals choosing this career shape organizational policies and procedures, and for half a century have led the caregiving community through many innovations.

Throughout the day, they arrange patient prescriptions and consult with patients. At times, CNSs make hospital stay arrangements and visit clients to check on their condition or encourage them before complex surgeries.

By comparison, for hospital workers, the overexertion injury rate was twice the average (76 per 10,000), and the rate for nursing home workers was over three times the average (132 per 10,000) (CDC, 2016).

Hospital workers face numerous risk factors for musculoskeletal injuries (MSIs) in the workplace, such as back and shoulder injuries (Waters, Collins, Galinsky, & Caruso, 2006). These injuries are associated with excessive back and shoulder loading due to lifting heavy loads during manual patient handling, applying excessive forces during the pushing and pulling of objects, required use of awkward postures during patient care, and working long hours (Waters et al., 2006). According to a national survey drawn from 53 healthcare systems with roughly 1,000 hospitals in all 50 states, patient handling injuries accounted for 25 percent of all workers' compensation claims for the healthcare industry in 2011 (OSHA, 2013). On average, a workers' compensation claim related to patient handling costs $15,600 (OSHA, 2013). In addition to these direct costs, there are numerous indirect costs from patient handling injuries – employee turnover, training, overtime, incident investigation time, and productivity (OSHA, 2013).

The President of District one, Paula Meagher was unable to attend the meeting as she was ill. She did however provide us with a list of the current Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) issues that TNA is engaged in. The issue that really caught my attention was Texas Occupations Code, section 157.011 (b–1) which deals with APRN restrictions on writing prescriptions for Schedule two controlled substances. The TNA website states: Texas Occupations Code, Section 157.0511 (b–1) states that an APRN may prescribe Schedule IIs in a hospital. The law does not say that APRNs may prescribe but must fill the prescription in a hospital. If patient feel more comfortable going to their local pharmacy to fill their prescription, then state boards should not prohibit them from doing so (TNA, 2016). While in the hospital APRNs can prescribe schedule two substances and must be filled in the hospitals pharmacy. The APRN is restricted in which they cannot write these prescriptions for patients to fill in an outside pharmacy (TNA, 2016). TNA states the Following: TNA recommends that the Legislature clarify this statute to remove any doubt regarding the interpretation, and allow all APRNs to issue discharge prescriptions for patients, regardless of the pharmacy the patient chooses (TNA, 2016).
