objectives
Discuss the pros and cons of continuing education in nursing in the following areas:
Impact on competency.
Impact on knowledge and attitudes.
Relationship to professional certification.
Relationship to ANA Scope and Standards of Practice.
Relationship to ANA Code of Ethics.
Impact on competency
Pros: Cons:
Increased personal knowledge Time
Increased use of EBP treatments Cost
Improved patient outcomes
Increased confidence
Developing and maintaining skills
Professional Networking
“Currently in many states, a nurse is determined to be competent when initially licensed and thereafter unless proven otherwise. Yet many believe this is not enough and are exploring other approaches to assure continuing competence in today’s environment where technology and practice are continually changing, new health care systems are evolving and consumers are pressing for providers who are competent” (Whittaker, Carson, & Smolenski, 2000).
“The ultimate outcomes of continuing nursing education (CNE) activities are to improve the professional practice of nursing and thereby the care that is provided by registered nurses to patients” (American Nurses Credentialing Center’, 2014)
Effective workplace learning, based on current evidence, appears to show potential to prevent errors, support health professional reflection on practice and performance, foster ongoing professional development, and sustain improved individual and organization performance outcomes.
Cost- “Continuing education can be costly. For instance, it is costly to pay employees to attend a nursing lecture or conference and to be away from the patients’ bedside. Additionally, purchasing videos or subscribing to magazines does require an associated payment. Lastly, implementing a change is costly it requires training and often new equipment. Without question, cost is a confounding variable” (Ward, 2013)
Time- This can be time away from work and family. For the employer ‘implementing a change in practice does require time, as does completing continuing education credit hours. This could mean time away from the patient which, in most instances, is frowned upon” (Ward, 2013)

DQ 3-1 response 1Working in Oncology care, the Oncology Nursing.docxelinoraudley582231
DQ 3-1 response 1
Working in Oncology care, the Oncology Nursing Society or ONS is a national professional specialty nursing association that I have been an ongoing member of since 2010. As an organization, their mission is “to advance excellence in oncology nursing and quality cancer care” with a vision “to lead the transformation of cancer care” (Oncology Nursing Society, 2017). Innovation, excellence and advocacy is what guides ONS to improve the quality of life and outcomes for patients with cancer and their families as well as improving the nursing profession (Oncology Nursing Society, 2017). They are continually working towards promoting respect and recognition on behalf of patients and the nursing profession. They not only engage in providing education and training for nurses but also engage in international outreach and partnering with other organizations that share common goals to enhance quality of care for people with cancer. They also serve as advocates to promote public health policy. ONS sends members to the Nurse in Washington Internship program annually giving attendees a better understanding of political, legislative and regulatory issues facing nurses ending with a visit to Capitol Hill to influence policy for nurses and the patients they serve (Saria et al., 2014). Cancer care is complex and continuously changing. As a member of the health care team, I feel the values of excellence, innovation and advocacy are reflected in their mission and vision statements. I also feel their mission and vision statements also mirrors the organization I work for. As a health care provider, Aurora Health Care, helps people to live well, providing the best care possible during and after a patient’s hospitalization. They support and encourage their medical/oncology nurses to become oncology and chemotherapy certified. They provide annual mandatory cancer education and offer monthly oncology seminars for all health care providers. The also encourage and support local, state and national seminars as well for their nurses. As a health care provider, they are devoted to providing the most current up to date treatment and promote safety through the encouragement and participation of evidence based initiatives and quality improvement projects.

Family nurse practitioner
Family nurse practitioner (FNP) is my specialty. A family nurse practitioner can be defined as a registered nurse who has specialized clinical and educational training in family unit. FNPs work autonomously or collaborating with other health professionals to deliver family-focused care. FNPs are trained to work with infants, adults, and elderlies in the context of family unit practice and clinical setting. Family nurse practitioners are usually masters/doctoral-educated, certified nationally and state-licensed registered nurses who provide care for the patients/clients across their lifespan. FNPs provide health care services to family unit ranging from health promotion to direct care to disease prevention and counseling. Family nurse practitioners work with their patients on maintaining health as well as wellness with the main focus of preventative care (Barnes, 2015). Most family nurse practitioners choose to operate in underserved communities or populations.
FNP as a clinical role and how it promotes patients outcomes
Family nurse practitioner role is clinical. This is because FNPs perform various clinical duties such as treating minor injuries to family members, performing health diagnostics, managing their clients with various chronic conditions and prescribing medications to their clients. Family nursing practitioners improve patients’ outcomes in various families. They provide clinical and educational services to clients which improve their health status hence improving access to health care services and health information (DeNisco, 2018). Most family nurse practitioners like operating in underserved communities or populations to promote access to health care to all people. They provide education and training to their clients on various health conditions, their symptoms, preventative measures and measures they can take to stay safe. Family nurse practitioners also improve patient safety by providing one-of-a-kind quality care to their patients. Family nurse practitioners promote by involving patients in administering care (Blair, 2015). Patients feel involved hence satisfied with the type of care provided to them.
Advanced nursing practice concept in FNP
The concept of advanced practice describes an extended level of clinical nursing practice maximizing the use of deep nursing knowledge, Masters educational preparation and expertise and skills that meet the health needs of families, individuals, groups, communities, and populations. This concept involves analyzing and combining knowledge; interpreting and then applying nursing research and theory; advancing and developing nursing knowledge and the entire profession (Blair, 2015). The scope of advanced nursing practice is differentiated by the autonomy to practice especially in expanding the boundaries of nursing.

CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)

amongst nurses
External- conflict among physicians a nurses assume role
responsibilities with their education (Nurse Practitioners)
Professional Nursing Barriers
15. Continue to incorporate science and technology into
nursing practice
