As the baby boomer population gets older and 32 million Americans gain access to healthcare under the Affordable Healthcare Act, the demand for nurses has significantly increased. Healthcare jobs are among the fastest growing jobs in America, with a predicted increase of 526,800 registered nurses by 2022. The demand for nurses is quickly growing and it has been chronicled through the years. While this is good news for anyone looking to start a career in healthcare, nurses are suffering from heavier workloads, and that can directly affect patient care.

Nursing Shortage
The shortage in the nursing profession has been an issue for over several years. Especially following COVID-19 suddenly gotten worse. St. Mary Elizabeth Hospital is no exception to this growing issue. Nurses make up the majority of medical practitioners and are essential to the industry. There remains a demand for more skilled educators in the perioperative environment and less even workforce distribution. Many serious factors cause the lack of nurses. As the age increases, there is a greater necessity for medical coverage. The authenticity is that, instead of taking just one illness, senior adults typically have illnesses and founders that necessitate professional care. Overall, individuals exist lengthier, a growing ultimatum for well-being care. Many chronic illnesses that were previously fatal are now treatable (Mar et al., 2019). The baby boom generation is still at a stage where they might need more medical attention as society ages. Today, more incredible Americans than ever previously time in history are above the age of 65.
According to Haddad et al. (2022, disclosed Nursing employment is anticipated to increase by 6% during the following ten years, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics Number Of simulations 2021–2031. The number of Nurses working in the profession is expected to rise by 195,400 from 3.1 million in 2021 to 3.3 million in 2031. When nurses retire, they get pension benefits and labor strength leave benefits which are prudently essential in the United States. More than 203,200 positions for Nursing professionals have become vacant in consecutive years. In addition, the nursing staff is shrinking. There are about one million nurse practitioners who are above 50. Thus, it shows that in ten to fifteen years, one in the workforce may be quitting. This figure includes medical faculties, which poses a unique problem since it necessitates training many more nurses with scarce assets. Constraints on admittance and a decline in the nursing practice's number of nurses can generate both results of a nursing faculty shortage.
Fewer students may register, and the curriculum's and the scholar's general superiority of education may worsen due to a condensed and forced facility. Some newly hired nurses find that the profession differs from what they had imagined after starting their jobs. Others might become employed for a while before giving up after getting overworked. The incidence of nurse burnout is tapering off after years of progressively increasing levels. Furthermore, the spectrum of the average income employee turnover, which spans between 8.8% to 37.0%, is determined by nursing discipline and locale (Rosseter, 2014). Enhancing nurses' labor conditions is insufficient. It is also essential to consider the caliber of nursing knowledge prov.

How Competing Needs May Impact the Development of a Policy
For my previous discussion post, I discussed how staffing shortages can lead to burnout due to increased workloads and longer hours. Burnout has been shown to significantly increase medication errors, reduce patient outcomes, and reduce productivity which decreases the quality of patient care overall (Bakhamis et al., 2019). Nurses will also become overwhelmed working in stressful environments, creating lower job satisfaction scores and lower nurse retention (Bakhamis et al., 2019). Because of this need to prevent burnout in nurses, the policy would need to be developed to address having an adequate nurse-to-patient ratio while also balancing budget costs. Despite attempts to develop policies to help healthcare organizations, competing needs related to the workforce and lack of resources make it difficult to address the shortage.
Nursing leaders would need to develop a policy that can create a supportive environment for nurses to care for patients safely. The goal would be to improve patient outcomes and improve retention, decreasing burnout. For example, developing a policy to establish set nurse-to-patient ratios depending on the unit. Adequate staffed units have been shown to result in lower mortality rates, shorter hospital stays, and less risk for adverse risks like medication errors (Saville et al., 2019).
Specific Competing Needs that May Impact Nurse Shortages
For adequate staffing, there needs to be a balance between the funds available and the organization’s available budget so that it is sustainable while also providing the best patient outcomes. In other words, there needs to be staff and funding available for this to happen. Within my healthcare organization, we have used travelers to fill in shifts to help supplement staffing. There have been times when the number of travel nurses outnumbers staff nurses on a given shift. While these travelers provide much-needed help, they also have expensive contracts and will work a few months per their contracts. When discussing this dilemma with hospital leadership, we have been told this process is not sustainable in the long run. Instead, the hospital risks losing more money in paying travelers than losing staff nurses. According to Kelly and Porr (2018), this is an example of how the business model of healthcare can negatively impact nurses and their ability to provide safe, high-quality patient care. Over time this can increase nursing stress due to ethical dilemmas, increase burnout, and ultimately worsen staffing anyway (Kelly & Porr, 2018).
Nurses should recognize these issues as serious ethical dilemmas as patients risk subpar care due to increasing healthcare costs. Milliken (2018) suggests nurses develop ethical awareness, by challenging situations and understanding the outcomes of these actions. For example, in my healthcare organization, we have discussed how the lack of staffing can lead to increa ...

Introduction
Nursing shortages occur when the demand for professional nurses is higher than the supply. It also occurs when the job vacancies are more than the available nurses. Additionally, it can occur when the nurse to patient ratio or the nurse to population ratio is high than the available nurses. Some of the causes of this shortage include few programs for placement of nurses and inadequacy of retention incentives for workers. There are psychological studies that have have been done to determined how nurses feel about their career (Buchan et al., 2015). Some of the complaints that nurses have include difficult working conditions and subordination on matters related to the medical profession. Other factors that lead to nurse dissatisfaction include low pay, shift work, lack of provision of child care, work overloads, and changes in schedule (Timothy, 2016).

Overview of the Issue
One of the major causes of nurse’s shortage is job dissatisfaction. This is due to a lack of confidence in the healthcare system and comprehensive nursing care. Additionally, nurses and managers have conflicting expectations regarding how to regulate costs (Buchan et al., 2015). In the past decades, there is little change that has occurred in government health policy. The nursing shortage affects healthcare in the following ways:
· Increase in workloads for the few nurses that are there. They have to do a lot so that all their duties get discharged. This leads to fatigue and stress.
· There is an increased risk of error, and this compromises the safety of patients. This happens due to tiredness.
· An increase in infections spread to staff and patients. This happens due to a lack of control as a result of few nurses in health facilities.
· High risk of adverse health outcomes such as urinary tract infections, pneumonia, and cardiac arrest.
· High risk for occupational injury.
· A high rate of turnover and, thus, high costs are incurred for the health care .
As the baby boomer population gets older and 32 million Americans gain access to healthcare under the Affordable Healthcare Act, the demand for nurses has significantly increased. Healthcare jobs are among the fastest growing jobs in America, with a predicted increase of 526,800 registered nurses by 2022.

WORKFORCE SHORTAGE 10
Workforce Shortage

Institutional Affiliation:
An adequate healthcare workforce is essential to the provision and access of quality care. Rural health care providers must employ adequate healthcare professionals who are in a position to meet the medical needs of the community through a variety of ways. This includes professionals that have been properly licensed, educated and that are culturally competent (McHugh, 2012). Rural hospitals also have to optimize how health professionals are deployed and enhance coordination among them to ensure that patients are receiving the best care possible. Healthcare worker shortages has been highlighted as one of the biggest obstacles facing the health sector. The problem has also been widely documented and is expected to last into the foreseeable future. Projections indicate that the supply of health care workers will not keep pace with demand and that may hospitals will struggle to maintain adequate staffing to ensure the provision of high quality care. In 2009, the United States had an estimated shortage of 120000 nurses. The number is projected to swell to 250 thousand by 2025. As the U.S grapples with health care workforce shortages, rural hospitals are more likely to be affe.

Analysis of a Pertinent Healthcare Issue
This document discusses the critical care burnout for nurses and the correlation between them and bad patient care. A debate will be held on the burnout levels and rationale for nurses at the University of New Mexico Hospital (UNMH). The writer will show how self-care outside your workplace can decrease work tiredness and having adequate stress management organizations in the workplace. Two study papers related to the suggested modifications to reduce the burnout in infants will be analyzed. (Harkin, 2014).
Purpose of the change proposal
Increased workplace stress, lengthy hours and traumatic exposure in patient care are strong in acute care. This kind of setting may lead to enhanced work exhaustion and greater burnout levels on nurses. Employment fatigue is shown in patient care reduced and general compassion decreased (Cocker & Joss, 2016). With a healthy working and household with good self-care and good stress management, work fatigue can be avoided and high quality care is maintained in acute care environments. (Chilcoat, 2016).
University of New Mexico Hospital burnout rates
Care burnout remains one of the leading causes of UNMH turnover levels. In the last five years, the elevated burnout levels at UNMH studied reveal increased burnout. Research has demonstrated that burnout is immediately linked to the absence of social support, inadequacy in controlling schedules or tasks, a messy working situation and a work-life imbalance. UNMH is creating opportunities and programs aimed at reducing burnout prices. (University of New Mexico, 2016).
Nursing intervention
Educating nurses about the significance of beneficial self-care practices in acute care, for example meditation, treatment, physical exercise and spending time on working outdoors in order to enjoy life. In the workplace, the workforce can also interact, discussing severe stressors and communicating therapeutically to one another in order to decrease effective stress on the environment. (Wolf, Perhats, Delao, & Clark, 2017) — Working to offer worker self-programming, prevent compulsory overtime, monitor worker overtime, and create mentorship programs (University of New Mexico, 2016).
Evaluation of the literature
A study of comparative studies (2003) involves three-fold layout research involving quantity and qualitative techniques. This study will address the burnout among nursing workers in accidents and emergency and acute medicine. The aim of this research was to create stress and burnout variables, to determine the behaviors of the impacted nurses and to stress impacts on the care of the patient. Also to determine whether stress and burnout affect people outside of the clinical environment. The findings indicated that networks, interpersonal relationships and teamwork need to be made more effective as robuster means ...

A Review of Key Current Healthcare Issues: Quality and Value in the U.S's Healthcare System
Healthcare regulations, funds, workload, and technology continue to complicate and inconvenient the U.S healthcare system. However, the quality and value of care tops. In the United States of America, despite significant healthcare transformation efforts, poor care lingers a considerable concern.
America is second to none in terms of healthcare expenditure across the globe. Ironically, evidence shows that its citizens do not receive the most appropriate care, or at least, which they need. For instance, Graban (2018) documents that preventive care is underutilized in the country, which is escalating the budget of managing advanced diseases. On the other hand, patients of chronic ailments such as diabetes, hypertension, and cardiac complications, do not also usually get treatments that are proven and effective (Wiler, Pines, & Ward, 2019). According to Strome (2019), this case is particularly true and event rampant to the persons that insured, uninsured, or under-insured. The lack of proper coordination of chronic diseases patients' care would only source more or exuberate poor healthcare. The unsurprising healthcare system's underlying fragmentation only fuels the issue given that many health care providers hardly have the payment support such related gears, necessary for effective communication and coordination to improve patient care.
While a significant number of patients miss medically necessary care, other clients get unnecessary or even unsafe attention. Research depicts terrific variations in hospital inpatient lengths of stay, specialists' visits, testing and procedures, and costs — not just by United States' unalike geographic areas, but from one health institution to another in the same town (Wiler, Pines, & Ward, 2019). Though limited, evidence on the most effective treatments and procedures, on the best way of informing providers about the efficacy of different treatments, and on the failures of detecting and reducing errors further underwrite the gaps care's quality and effectiveness (Strome, 2019). The concerns are especially pertinent to the Americans of the lower social classes as well as to those from diverse demographic and ethnic groups are usually frequent victims of a lot of incongruences in health and health care.
The implication of Poor Patient Care
Poor quality care impacts both patients and providers negatively. For patients, it reduces their survival changes, aggravates illnesses, and leads to unnecessary mortalities (Graban, 2018). To providers, such issu.

The Workforce of the Future - Ben Frasier.pdfBenFrasier
As a nation, we are faced with a critical health care worker shortage that needs both immediate and long-term solutions. Everyone is affected by healthcare: as citizens whose health and that of our loved ones is affected by how well our healthcare system is functioning; as healthcare staff who are facing increasing levels of burnout and lack of motivation to work within a broken system; as healthcare administrators whose job it is to optimize resources to ensure that patients receive comprehensive and equitable care and that healthcare workers receive the support they need to thrive in a safe working environment; to legislators whose job it is to create practices and policies that allow the healthcare system to achieve these goals.

Abstract
Many studies have linked short-staffing with nurses experiencing different personal and career problems. Hence, the aim of this report is to analyze studies that explore nurse short-staffing to negative effects on nurses’ professional and personal lives and patient care outcomes. The findings of the report show that burnout, demoralization, anxiety, depression, despair, and intent to leave are some of the main consequences of having high nurse-to-patient ratios. Furthermore, when nurses are overstretched at work, their personal lives are also affected. Overloaded nurses lack time to engage in leisure activities or interact with friends and family members. The report concluded that not having enough nurses in a facility affects nurses and patients negatively. Additionally, the report recommended that hospital management must hire adequate nurses and ensure units have a relevant nursing skills mix. 3. Introduction 3.1 Background
Nurses comprise the biggest number of healthcare professionals and spend the most time with patients. Therefore, patient care quality heavily relies on the nursing staff. Nursing shortage is one of the main issues affecting the ability of nurses to provide quality care. Notably, most states in the US have been facing increased nurse short-staffing. Among the causes of the nursing shortage are healthcare institutions’ failure to hire enough nurses or improve working conditions to retain nursing staff.
Many studies have linked nursing understaffing with poor patient outcomes and personal and professional problems for nurses. An observational multicenter study by Haegdorens et al. (2019) found that low nurse short-staffing increase length of stay, patient mortality, and avoidable readmissions in surgical and medical wards. Additionally, infections and medical complicati.

In 1873 The University of Iowa began providing medical services when it reached an agreement with Sisters of Mercy to operate a small hospital in the area. It began with two wards, one for women and the other for men containing four private rooms and a surgical amphitheater. In 1865 this agreement was terminated when the Sisters of Mercy moved across town and opened up Mercy Hospital. Today, the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics is a public -teaching hospital affiliated with the University of Iowa and a Level 1 trauma center. It has 711 beds including a 190-bed UI Children’s Hospital (About Us, n.d.). On an average day, there are close to 9,000 individuals providing care to patients, including employees, students and volunteers (About Us, n.d.). Fiscal Year 2012 Facts
There were 32,000 patients admitted to the hospital for in-patient care with 59,000 emergency room visits. In the 200 outpatient clinics of the UIHC, 977,337 clinic visits were counted. In addition to the 1,300 volunteers of UIHC, it employed during FY2012:
· 1,548 physicians, residents, and fellows
· 8,221 non-physician employees of whom 1,845 are professional nurses (About Us, n.d.)

Nursing is among the fastest-growing occupations in the United States through the nation still faces a significant shortfall of qualified nurses. The shortage may
continue to be highly essential due to the aging population. The U.S. is speculated to go through a shortage of Registered Nurses which is expected to maximize as
baby boomers age and the need for health care maximizes. The Registered Nursing workforce is speculated to grow from 2 million in 2019 to 3 million in 2029, a rise
of 220,000 and 7%. Impact of Nursing Shortages in an Organization In 2014, a study was conducted in American hospitals regarding the nursing shortage. They found
that a rise in nurses; workload by one patient maximized the possibility of dying in 30 days of admission by 7%. The researchers as well found out that each 10% rise
in bachelor’s degree nurses was related to a drop in patient death by 7% (Haddad, Annamaraju, & Toney-Butler, 2020). Insufficient nurse staffing is as well associated
with high patient mortality rates. In facilities with a limited number of nurses, the mortality risk for patients tends to be about 6% more on units that were under-
staffed in comparison to the well-staffed units. When a nurse’s workload is high due to high patient turnover, mortality risk as well tends to rise. Based on a study con-
ducted by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (2020), there tends to be 4.9 fewer death in 10000 patients on intensive care units that are staffed with a
high percentage of nurses with bachelor’s degrees. Summary of the articles
The article by Mark et al. (2019) aims to deal with the identified causes of the nursing shortage in health care facilities and other nations. According to the findings of

Introduction
Nursing shortages occur when the demand for professional nurses is higher than the supply. It also occurs when the job vacancies are more than the available nurses. Additionally, it can occur when the nurse to patient ratio or the nurse to population ratio is high than the available nurses. Some of the causes of this shortage include few programs for placement of nurses and inadequacy of retention incentives for workers. There are psychological studies that have have been done to determined how nurses feel about their career (Buchan et al., 2015). Some of the complaints that nurses have include difficult working conditions and subordination on matters related to the medical profession. Other factors that lead to nurse dissatisfaction include low pay, shift work, lack of provision of child care, work overloads, and changes in schedule (Timothy, 2016). The purpose of the paper is toThe author of this paper will provide an overview of the issue, show why the issue is of concern to health care economics, show parties involved and identify marker forces that have an impact on the issue. Besides, the paperThe author will also focus on demand and supply in this issuerelated to the nursing shortage, , show how the affordable care actPatient Protection and Affordable Care Act has impacted this issue the nursing shortage, and depict how the nursing shortage affects health disparities are demonstrated in this issue. The paperThe author will also focus on showing how the issue has been improved in the global market and give my recommendation regarding improvements to be made based on the principles of economics.Comment by Jeremy Howell: You will want to clarify this.
Body
Overview of the Issue
One of the major causes of nurse’s shortage is job dissatisfaction. This is due to a lack of confidence in the healthcare system and comprehensive nursing care. Additionally, nurses and managers have conflicting expectations regarding how to regulate costs (Buchan et al., 2015). In the past decades, there is little change that has occurred in government health policy. The nursing shortage affects healthcare in the following ways:
· Increase in workloads for the few nurses that are there. They have to do a lot so that all their duties get discharged. This leads to fatigue and stress.
· There is an increased risk of error, and this compromises the safety of patients. This happens due to tiredness.
· An increase in infections spread to staff and patients. This happens due to a lack of control as a result of few nurses in health facilities.
· High risk of adverse health outcomes such as urinary tract infections, pneumonia, and cardiac arrest.
· High risk for occupational injury.
· A high rate of turnover and, thus, high costs are incurred for the health care .

Healthcare regulations, funds, workload, and technology continue to complicate and inconvenient the U.S healthcare system. However, the quality and value of care tops. In the United States of America, despite significant healthcare transformation efforts, poor care lingers a considerable concern.

A Review of Key Current Healthcare Issues: Quality and Value in the U.S's Healthcare System
Healthcare regulations, funds, workload, and technology continue to complicate and inconvenient the U.S healthcare system. However, the quality and value of care tops. In the United States of America, despite significant healthcare transformation efforts, poor care lingers a considerable concern.

The Workforce of the Future - Ben Frasier.pdfBenFrasier
As a nation, we are faced with a critical health care worker shortage that needs both immediate and long-term solutions. Everyone is affected by healthcare: as citizens whose health and that of our loved ones is affected by how well our healthcare system is functioning; as healthcare staff who are facing increasing levels of burnout and lack of motivation to work within a broken system; as healthcare administrators whose job it is to optimize resources to ensure that patients receive comprehensive and equitable care and that healthcare workers receive the support they need to thrive in a safe working environment; to legislators whose job it is to create practices and policies that allow the healthcare system to achieve these goals.

Abstract
Many studies have linked short-staffing with nurses experiencing different personal and career problems. Hence, the aim of this report is to analyze studies that explore nurse short-staffing to negative effects on nurses’ professional and personal lives and patient care outcomes. The findings of the report show that burnout, demoralization, anxiety, depression, despair, and intent to leave are some of the main consequences of having high nurse-to-patient ratios. Furthermore, when nurses are overstretched at work, their personal lives are also affected. Overloaded nurses lack time to engage in leisure activities or interact with friends and family members. The report concluded that not having enough nurses in a facility affects nurses and patients negatively. Additionally, the report recommended that hospital management must hire adequate nurses and ensure units have a relevant nursing skills mix. 3. Introduction 3.1 Background
Nurses comprise the biggest number of healthcare professionals and spend the most time with patients. Therefore, patient care quality heavily relies on the nursing staff. Nursing shortage is one of the main issues affecting the ability of nurses to provide quality care. Notably, most states in the US have been facing increased nurse short-staffing. Among the causes of the nursing shortage are healthcare institutions’ failure to hire enough nurses or improve working conditions to retain nursing staff.
Many studies have linked nursing understaffing with poor patient outcomes and personal and professional problems for nurses. An observational multicenter study by Haegdorens et al. (2019) found that low nurse short-staffing increase length of stay, patient mortality, and avoidable readmissions in surgical and medical wards. Additionally, infections and medical complicati.

In 1873 The University of Iowa began providing medical services when it reached an agreement with Sisters of Mercy to operate a small hospital in the area. It began with two wards, one for women and the other for men containing four private rooms and a surgical amphitheater. In 1865 this agreement was terminated when the Sisters of Mercy moved across town and opened up Mercy Hospital. Today, the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics is a public -teaching hospital affiliated with the University of Iowa and a Level 1 trauma center. It has 711 beds including a 190-bed UI Children’s Hospital (About Us, n.d.). On an average day, there are close to 9,000 individuals providing care to patients, including employees, students and volunteers (About Us, n.d.). Fiscal Year 2012 Facts
There were 32,000 patients admitted to the hospital for in-patient care with 59,000 emergency room visits. In the 200 outpatient clinics of the UIHC, 977,337 clinic visits were counted. In addition to the 1,300 volunteers of UIHC, it employed during FY2012:
· 1,548 physicians, residents, and fellows
· 8,221 non-physician employees of whom 1,845 are professional nurses (About Us, n.d.)
Since U.S. News & World Report began to rank hospitals in 1990, UIHC has made the list as one of the best and has over 271 physicians ranked as “Best Doctors in America”.

Nursing is among the fastest-growing occupations in the United States through the nation still faces a significant shortfall of qualified nurses. The shortage may
continue to be highly essential due to the aging population. The U.S. is speculated to go through a shortage of Registered Nurses which is expected to maximize as
baby boomers age and the need for health care maximizes. The Registered Nursing workforce is speculated to grow from 2 million in 2019 to 3 million in 2029, a rise
of 220,000 and 7%. Impact of Nursing Shortages in an Organization In 2014, a study was conducted in American hospitals regarding the nursing shortage. They found
that a rise in nurses; workload by one patient maximized the possibility of dying in 30 days of admission by 7%. The researchers as well found out that each 10% rise
in bachelor’s degree nurses was related to a drop in patient death by 7% (Haddad, Annamaraju, & Toney-Butler, 2020). Insufficient nurse staffing is as well associated
with high patient mortality rates. In facilities with a limited number of nurses, the mortality risk for patients tends to be about 6% more on units that were under-
staffed in comparison to the well-staffed units. When a nurse’s workload is high due to high patient turnover, mortality risk as well tends to rise. Based on a study con-
ducted by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (2020), there tends to be 4.9 fewer death in 10000 patients on intensive care units that are staffed with a
high percentage of nurses with bachelor’s degrees. Summary of the articles
The article by Mark et al. (2019) aims to deal with the identified causes of the nursing shortage in health care facilities and other nations. According to the findings of
this study, the nursing shortage causes tend to be multifaceted without worldwide or local evaluation of its nature, inefficient planning and use of accessible nursing

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Njinga 2 posts Re: Topic 1 DQ 1 The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts the demand for
registered nurses to grow from two million to 3.2 million between 2008 and 2018, a 60%
increase. Nurses lack because of the aging population, given that older individuals typically
have more medical problems than younger ones. As such, nurses will be needed to educate
and care for patients with various chronic conditions, such as arthritis, dementia, diabetes,
and obesity. Also, the current Coronavirus crisis revealed, it is the very damning nurses’
shortage. Organizations are having difficulty recruiting new nurses or even retaining their
current staff. The blog SCP Health cite these reasons to explain the shortage: Low salaries
for educators compared to clinicians, age-delayed trajectory of nurses obtaining higher
levels of education, late point in career development for entering educative roles, inability
to fill open faculty roles, looming retirement of large numbers of currently employed
nursing educators. For dialysis patients, the expert nephrology nurse is an integral part of
quality care and essential for continuity of care in the renal community. In 2003, the renal
community came together to discuss issues concerning the shortage of nurses in dialysis
and to create a detailed national plan to address the recruitment of nurses into nephrology
and the retention of experienced nephrology nurses. As a result of the Summit, several task
forces were created to address both short- and-long term solutions to opportunities
identified by Summit participants to recruit and retain qualified registered nurses in
nephrology. References Gaietto, K. (2019). The Shortage of Expert Nephrology Nurses in

2. emergency department, a big issue we are dealing with is COVID burn out. The way our
network has been dealing with staffing is by assigning a COVID team of nurses. The same
nurses are COVIDnurses everyday. While that isn’t an issue, the problem lies in how we are
screening. A patient presents to the ED screener and staets their symptoms. If they have any
COVID symptoms, they go to the COVID section of the ED. After several hours of work ups,
the endless donning and doffing of PPE, and the inevitible COVID swab, if the patient is
COVDI negative, the patient is moved to a non-COVID section and the COVID nurses start
from scratch on the next possible COVID patient. The workload is overwhelming and there
is never a moment of downtime. The nurse who gets the patient after they have been
deemed negative has no work to do for the patient. This is a major problem as one group of
nurses is overwhelmed and the other group is essentially baby sitting patients while they
are waiting for dispositions. One study found that “nurses on the front lines of the pandemic
go through psychological stages when caring for patients with COVID-19. These stages
include ambivalence, emotional exhaustion and energy-renewal,” (Sayewich, 2020).
Another study shows that “the disparity between capacity and demand has led to an
overburdened workforce, increased waiting times and a lower quality of service than
patients expect” (Eaton, 2019). Burnout is a major issue and in these times, it is a major
contributing factor to nurses accepting jobs and assignments. As COVID expands and travel
nursing agencies are stretched, nurses will be more exclusive in the positions they accept.
This will inevitably lead to a shortage where nurses are already at a premium. One way this
is being combatted is by offering substantial sign-on bonuses and other incentives.
Hospitals in highdemand areas are offering nurses with critical care experience upwards of
$5000/weekly. Another way they are helping in the shortage is by hiring travel and agency
nurses. Eaton, L. (2019). Health workforce burnout. Bulletin of the World Health
Organization, 97(9)https://doi.org/10.2471/BLT.19.020919 Sayewich, N. (2020, April 23).

posts Re: Topic 1 DQ 1 There are many reasons contributing to the nurse shortage. Some of
the major contributors are many nurses retiring, burnout, lack of nursing school instructors,
and limited number of seats in nursing programs. According to the American Association of
Colleges of Nursing (2019) over 50% of registered nurses are 50 years of age or older and
one million registered nurses will reach retirement age in the next 10 to 15 years. Due to
the nurse shortage many hospitals and other facilities are insufficiently staffed creating high
stress environments and decreased workplace satisfaction (“Nursing Shortage,” 2019).
Emergency Department Nurses Face COVID 19 DiscussionThis dissatisfaction causes nurses
to experience burnout and eventually leave the profession. Some states even have
implemented restrictions on how many patients one nurse can care for to prevent unsafe
environments for both the patient and the nurse. Another issue contributing to the shortage
is that nursing programs have difficulties finding nursing instructors. Due to the shortage of
instructors there are limited number of seats in programs. Many nursing programs have
two year wait lists and in 2018 nursing school had to turn away more than 75,000 qualified
applicants (“Nursing Shortage,” 2019). One resolution to the shortage is through nurse
residency programs. Many nursing jobs require experience leaving new graduate nurses
3. educationally qualified, but unable to find a job. Nurse residency programs bring new
graduate nurses into hospitals and train them over a series of months. This helps decrease
the nurse shortage and gives new nurses much needed experience. Nursing shortage.

Anabel Moronta 1 posts Re: Topic 1 DQ 1 Topic 1 DQ1 The nursing shortage is a current
problem facing the healthcare sector, where the present number of nurses is less than the
required nursing staff. The factors that contribute to the nursing shortage in my region are
multifaceted and ranges from employee choice of work to unfavorable working conditions.
The events that lead to nursing shortage include increased nurse turnover rates, aging and
retirement, limited resources in the hospital sector, job dissatisfaction, and the low number
of nurse educators (Rosseter, 2015). Nurses often join other professions and, in worst cases,
individual businesses instead of offering services in the hospitals due to job dissatisfaction.
Some of the nurses in low staffed hospitals experience high levels of burnout; thus, they opt
to leave the field for other fields where they have more freedom and leisure. Moreover,
limited resources and misappropriation of funds in the sector are responsible for the high
nursing shortage levels since the industry cannot provide the basics to the nurses. In an
attempt to reduce nursing shortage and absorb many students in the profession, both the
government and non-governmental organizations have come on board to look for lasting
solutions. One of the resolutions to this problem is the introduction of the residency
programs for the nurse graduates to keep the new nurses in the hospital set up and entice
them to provide quality services (Juraschek et al., 2019). The residency program is like a
motivation incentive; therefore, new graduates will feel valued and essential in this
profession, limiting the cases of high nurse turnover rates. References Juraschek, S. P.,
Zhang, X., Ranganathan, V., & Lin, V. W. (2019). The United States registered nurse
workforce report card and shortage forecast. American Journal of Medical Quality, 34(5),
473-481. Rosseter, R. (2015). Nursing faculty shortage fact sheet. American Association of
Colleges of Nursing. DQ5 Anabel Moronta 1 posts Re: Topic 1 DQ 2 Topic 1 DQ2 Healthcare
evolution is evident because the sector no longer focuses on providing diseaseoriented
measures but focuses on wellness and prevention measures. The world health organization
(WHO) is a significant stakeholder for international health; therefore, the organization has
the authority to determine the operation of health sectors. Consequently, the organization is
the brainchild behind the shift from disease-oriented care to wellness care through
establishing health promotion strategies (Andrea, 2018). Health promotion allows the
patients to have greater control over their health and conditions and can make informed
health decisions that will contribute to their overall well-being. Moreover, through health
education and promotion, the health workers use the primary level strategies to inform the
patients and the public about the diseases to help in taking proactive steps towards
preventing the diseases through measures, such as vaccinations (Murdaugh et al., 2018).
Evidence-based practice in nursing is the only way that this shift in healthcare will continue
because the practice entails determining change proposals and make healthcare provision
better. Nurses and the nursing sector are the main stakeholders and drivers of such growth
in healthcare because they work as educators, health promoters, and currently, conduct the
4. evidence-based practice projects to bring desirable changes towards the provision of
quality care. Fitness and wellness are critical concepts to a healthy life that most health
workers recommend to the community after research and soliciting data from previous
experiences. For instance, health professionals use the available data on the prevalence of
non-communicable diseases to advocate for physical fitness exercises and good eating
habits. References Andrea, A. C. (2018). Historical evolution of the concept of health in

focus from a disease-oriented health care system to one of wellness and prevention.
Reasons for this shift are many and include: • the substandard health of many Americans •
enormously high costs of healthcare • safety and quality issues within the U.S. healthcare
system • the aging population and growing concern of rising costs and quality issues • the
fact that 50 million uninsured and 40 million underinsured Americans in the United States
entered into the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010 Health care
reform is about: • avoiding readmissions and costly mistakes • keeping patients healthy •
rewarding healthcare quality instead of quantity • rewarding provid ers for quality
outcomes and interventions to prevent illness and progression of disease Health care
reform has shifted from a system that focuses on illness to one that: • Emergency

emphasizes preventative and wellness focused evaluations • emphasizes wellness and
health education programs • emphasizes programs to address environmental or social
triggers of preventable disease conditions and care problems Wellness now means thinking
about the patient beyond the current event and taking into consideration what must be
assessed or done to maximize the wellness of patients. Nursing is detrimental in supporting
and facilitating this shift in health care reform. Because U.S. nurses are representative of the
largest part of the healthcare workforce, as a group, nurses will be able to provide the
biggest impact on the transformation of healthcare. References Echevarria, M., & Salmond,
