Introduction
Nursing just like any profession faces numerous challenges daily. Nurses are usually tasked with the duty to ensure that they work diligently and professionally to ensure that their clients are satisfied with the services that they deliver. They are usually tasked with the duty to ensure that the patients that visit their premises get quality services that they deserve. However, these services come at a cost; they face a myriad of challenges that they have to work fully despite these challenges to satisfy their clients. Therefore, this research paper analysis some of the problems that nurses face in the daily execution of their duties.
Identification of the Problem
Nurse faces a myriad of challenges in their daily execution of duties. To ensure that they discharge their duties perfectly all these challenges must be identified and effective measures are put in place to ensure that the challenges are taken care of. The major problems that most of the medical facilities are the issue of understaffing. Nurses have faced challenges in terms of duties assigned to them in comparison to their numbers. Studies conducted have also portrayed that there are shortages of nurses in the medical facilities. However, the challenges that these nurses face are varied in different nations and towns, there are those nations that have surplus while there are those towns and nations that have a high shortage of these important service providers in the healthcare facilities.
The impact of these shortages has also resulted in further challenges for the nurses. In this regard, one of the major challenges that these nurses face is the need to work for long hours due to the shortage of employees at the medical facilities. The few available nurses must work in shifts and endure long working hours to ensure that they meet the desired goals of the institution are met. The work of nurses calls for one to be sober and cognitive in decision making (McLelland et al. 2015). However, with a situation where nurses are required to work for long hours, work in shifts such that they can sleep for a while and resume their duties. This is a worrying trend for the nurses because their cognitive ability and judgment as normal human beings are likely to decline when overworked. Therefore, the chances of making poor decisions are also likely to increase with time as they work overtime.
Besides that, the shortages of nurses in healthcare facilities which calls for overworking of these nurses to ensure that patients are fully taken care of, usually lead to an increase in hazard and dangerous accidents taking place.

Introduction
Nursing just like any profession faces numerous challenges
daily. Nurses are usually tasked with the duty to ensure that
they work diligently and professionally to ensure that their
clients are satisfied with the services that they deliver. They are
usually tasked with the duty to ensure that the patients that visit
their premises get quality services that they deserve. However,
these services come at a cost; they face a myriad of challenges
that they have to work fully despite these challenges to satisfy
their clients. Therefore, this research paper analysis some of the
problems that nurses face in the daily execution of their duties.
Identification of the Problem
2. Nurse faces a myriad of challenges in their daily execution of
duties. To ensure that they discharge their duties perfectly all
these challenges must be identified and effective measures are
put in place to ensure that the challenges are taken care of. The
major problems that most of the medical facilities are the issue
of understaffing. Nurses have faced challenges in terms of
duties assigned to them in comparison to their numbers. Studies
conducted have also portrayed that there are shortages of nurses
in the medical facilities. However, the challenges that these
nurses face are varied in different nations and towns, there are
those nations that have surplus while there are those towns and
nations that have a high shortage of these important service
providers in the healthcare facilities.
The impact of these shortages has also resulted in further
challenges for the nurses. In this regard, one of the major
challenges that these nurses face is the need to work for long
hours due to the shortage of employees at the medical facilities.
The few available nurses must work in shifts and endure long
working hours to ensure that they meet the desired goals of the
institution are met. The work of nurses calls for one to be sober
and cognitive in decision making (McLelland et al. 2015).
However, with a situation where nurses are required to work for
long hours, work in shifts such that they can sleep for a while
and resume their duties. This is a worrying trend for the nurses
because their cognitive ability and judgment as normal human
beings are likely to decline when overworked. Therefore, the
chances of making poor decisions are also likely to increase
with time as they work overtime.
Besides that, the shortages of nurses in healthcare facilities
which calls for overworking of these nurses to ensure that
patients are fully taken care of, usually lead to an increase in
hazard and dangerous accidents taking place taking place during
their execution of duties. For instance, nurses working in
laboratories are exposed to hazardous chemicals, viruses, and
pathogens as they seek to unveil the diseases of their patients
(Shoorideh et al. 2015). Therefore, if they are overworked they
3. are likely to make mistakes which might result in situations
where the nurses might get injured or make the wrong diagnosis
for their patients. This is a situation that can make the running
of the facility unimaginable due to the prevailing situation.
Significance of the Problem
Nurses are key role players in the successful running of the
healthcare facilities. All the healthcare facilities require the
services of the nurses to ensure that the needs of the patients are
taken care of. In this regard, the problem of understaffing of
nurses at the medical institutions is a major problem that these
institutions should be able to manage to ensure that the desired
results are achieved. Medical facilities require that they use
these nurses to discharge their duties perfectly; their shortage is
an issue that institutions see a huge challenge towards meeting
their goals.
Shortages of nurses in healthcare organizations mean that these
institutions are unable to effectively discharge their duties as
expected. Experienced nurses have higher chances of perfectly
discharging their duties, institutions that have insufficient
nurses' means that they can only meet the ever-increasing
number of patients in hospitals by overworking these nurses.
Therefore, the chances of making poor decisions as nurses are
also high as they get fatigued when they are overworked (Alavi
et al. 2015).
The issue of understaffed nurses is an issue of not only an issue
of concern by medical facilities but also by the states and health
organizations in various sectors. Healthcare is an issue of
concern to all individuals as we are all expected to be of good
health so that we can produce. States advocate having enough
medical staff so that all medical situations can always be easily
managed whenever they arise. Adequate nurses in the medical
facilities usually make it easier to manage any medical
emergencies that might arise thus making it easier to have a
healthy nation that's productive in all corners.
Besides that, understaffed nurses mean that it's difficult for
these professions to have time for their research and improve
4. their skills. Medical facilities are always facing challenges on
daily basis; there are medical situations that require substantial
time for the nurses to analyze the samples before coming up
with a solution to the prevailing situation (Lu et al. 2015).
Therefore, in such cases where the number of nurses matters at
any medical facility the process of determining the required
results is usually difficult for the management. This ends with
the facility not being able to satisfy their clients in the long run
the facilities end up with reduced clients and low income if it's
a private facility.
Purpose of Research
This research aims to determine the problems that nurse’s face
in their daily discharging of duties. Nurses play key roles in our
well-being in society and conducting research to determine the
problems that they face is only meant to ensure that they
improve in the services that they deliver. This study has shown
that the major problem that they face is understaffing in most of
the nations. Major hospitals have been unable to effectively
discharge their duties because they have few nurses to
effectively discharge their duties.
Besides that, as a result of this study, relevant institutions and
bodies have an opportunity to learn of the challenges that
nurse’s face in their daily discharge of duties. In this regard,
learning of the shortages of the nurses in the medical facilities
indicates that relevant bodies and institutions should play their
roles perfectly towards ensuring that there are adequate and
qualified nurses for the medical facilities to ensure that at the
end the desired goals can always be achieved
(Skundberg‐Kletthagen & Moen, 2017). As a result, this study
provides an opportunity for the relevant bodies to initiate the
right measures that will make it better in the running of the
medical facilities.
Research Questions
This research seeks to determine the most effective ways that
would ensure there is effective running of the desired goals.
Nurses are critical for the provision of medical services in the
5. facility. However, despite enormous studies being done on the
roles of nurses in society, there have been limited studies that
have been done on the exact challenges that nurses face.
Therefore, this study seeks to answer the question, what
challenges nurses face in their daily discharge of duties?
Besides that, there also the need to answer the question, what
are the benefits of having adequate and qualified nurses in the
medical facilities?
Effective answering of these questions will provide a clear road
map for the future nurses and relevant authorities. This only
means that future nurses have a chance to be fully equipped and
be well-staffed and experienced as they shall be provided with
all the necessary tools and resources that would result in the
desired needs of their clients being fully taken care of and on a
timely basis.
Literature review
1. What are the factors that lead to the challenges that the
nurses face when providing their services?
2. What are the challenges that nurses face in offering effective
care to the patients
Methodology and design of the study
The research uses a detailed literature review. I will come up
with a better study design to help conduct the research. It is
evident that through the study, I will obtain detailed
information, unlike the previous research that has been
conducted in the past that are in line with the thesis topic. There
is much information in different journals and research papers. I,
therefore, focused on researching many details using scholarly
references and keywords such as adult learners, nurse
education, and expectations. I also focused on unpublished and
published materials that have more information. The main aim
of the research is to come up with a precise, scientifically
sound, resourceful, and convincing results.
The kind of literature review that I have chosen to essay for the
essay is all about coming up with the right research questions,
being able to analyze some of the results obtained from the
6. study, being able to choose the right pieces of information that
will help address and answer the research, being able to group
the literature themes and assessing the compiled literature. The
primary aim is to answer the study question on the problems
that nurses are facing in their day to day activities while at
work. I will also help come up with better results not only from
the current study but also looking at the previous studies that
have been conducted before. It will help gather more knowledge
from multiple sources hence being in a position of coming up
with the right solution to the issue. It will also help me come up
with the right evidence in cases where there was none found.
The literature review will also help us in determining the
characteristics and relationship between the concepts and the
problem.
Data search
The process of collecting the search was done on 7th July 2019.
Two authors conducted it. The primary aim of the search was to
come up with an appropriate keyword, and the database that is
relevant to the thesis. The research search and data collection
entail using previous studies that have been conducted before
and relate to the topic. It talks about the issue that affects the
nurses in their workplaces. The articles that were used to
conduct the research were obtained from a different database.
They include the Elsevier science direct, CINAHL, and pub
med. In order to quickly find the document without any
difficulties on the literature review and thesis, some of the
keywords were used. They include nurse experiences and other
synonyms. The search is limited to 8 years in order to provide a
better chance of accessing sufficient and relevant data.

Sampling Methodology
The research was, therefore, conducted under different
circumstances. The authors came up with different techniques
that would help conduct the research. The first thing was to
identify the people that will take part in the research. The
nurses working both in the private and health sector took part in
the study. They chose several 20 nurses working in the private
sector to take part in the study. The research also used 30 nurses
that are working in the public sector. The researchers grouped
the nurses in different categories so as the research would be
conducted smoothly. The researchers prepared questionnaires to
help with the study. They came up with closed and open-ended
questionnaires. There are those questionnaires where the
interviewee will answer without any difficulties and those that
the interviewee will be aided. The critical thing with this study
is that the nurses are all literate and can quickly answer the
8. research question facing any difficulties. The method is more
natural to research since it is less costly. It will also contribute
towards coming up with better and detailed results regarding the
project. It is a standard methodology that has been used before
by various studies to come up with better information for the
study. The other key to consider when conducting is to keep a
small number as it will help obtain rich data. Data can also be
diminished in cases where one uses too many participants for
the research. I also incorporated the use of email interviews.
The email had question interviews which were sent to each
participant. The key thing with using this method is that it saves
time not only for the participants but also for the researcher.
The research also uses less money for the study. They are only
required to send mail to the participants containing the research
questions. The researchers, therefore, sent the emails to all
participants and alerted them. It was one way of increasing
participants in taking part in the project.
Data collection
The method involves first introducing the research to the
participants. It allows the participants to have trust in the
researchers hence allowing the participant to come up with
better results. The next thing is to combine the results in a PDF
form to analyze them in detail. The participants, in this case,
responded positively and answered well to the questions. The
critical thing is that every nurse that took part in the study is
educated, and therefore they can quickly understand how to go
about the questions.
Role of the researcher
The worker of the researcher, in this case, is to ensure that the
research is conducted procedurally. The researcher also collects
every detail to ensure that the research has sufficient data. The
researcher also prepares the interviewee questions as well as
alerts the respondents on how to answer the questions.

Introduction
Nursing just like any profession faces numerous challenges
daily. Nurses are usually tasked with the duty to ensure that

PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION
Nursing Research Phase # 3 Project Implementation
Karen Lezcano
Florida National University
March 7th, 2020
Project Implementation
The project implementation refers to the carrying out of
activities as proposed. The success of implementation depends
on internal and external factors. The most important one has
organized projects and active monitoring. Overall management
generally is controlled by the lead managers and project
managers. Project implementation task involves
17. implementation, evaluation, report and communication
Implementing the work plan
Implementing the work plan consists of carrying the activities
to deliver output and monitoring progress. Monitoring is
broadly defined as the control of project implementation to keep
the project on track. The project manager holds the
responsibility for regular monitoring of the plan (Washington,
Ward and Young 2017)
Tracking of the project
The project application approved is the baseline of the project.
It is the primary document helpful for tracking project progress.
The project application entails the project objectives,
description of activities, and measurable output. The project
should always be regarded as unchangeable once the project has
started. The project has a dynamic aspect, and the ability to
adapt to modifications likely to lead to success. The tracking
begins by fixing the project baseline, then the definition of
needed information, definition of margin and scope and
document and communication of variation
Financial management
On the program level, once the funds have been awarded to the
project, they are "secured" in that project and cannot be
released until the project closure. The funds, therefore, cannot
be used in any other project. The funds are only committed to
what it was meant for in an organization. Every project must
always have a budget. It is also required that the project
provides a reasonable spending forecast. The project should
spend under the budget. The project must always avoid bad
planning and financial budgeting that could demand more
money. The lead manager holds the overall responsibility for
business management. Each partner, however, must monitor its
spending and ensure to keep its records
Management of project risk
Risk can be internal or external during the implementation of
the project. Risk can be any factor that can threaten the
achievement of the project. Risk management involves
18. involving three types. (Callistus and Clinton 2018)
Identification of risk
Risk is identified by looking at possible threats. A right way of
identifying relevant through brainstorming and comparison with
other similar projects
Assessing risk
The potential risk is identified and then quantified according to
the probability of occurrence. Assessment is based on
assumptions and educated guesses.
Dealing with the risk
The project manager can decide what to do in the instance of a
threat. The manager can choose to ignore the threat or find a
way of removing the risk.
Revision of the work plan
Work plans refer to short term planning containing details on
activities of the project. Timing is an essential part of revising
the work plan. Each work plan should cover a stipulated time
plan for the success of the project. Project revision entails
factors such as unexpected delays and project modification.
Project modifications involves activity modification,
partnership modification, project time plan modification, and
budget modification. Every project always have an extension of
flexibility when it comes to the modification of the project
Project communication
Activities of a project must be appropriate to ensure the project
reaches its communication and project objectives. The project
can achieve this through regular information flow, a sound
feedback system, and long term arrangements.
PROJECT REPORT
Part of the project implementation involves project reporting. A
good project calls for reporting during the execution. The main
aim of reporting is to ensure the project aims are achieved. The
resources that have been used, the problems encountered, and
the expectation of the business. The common practice in the
project report involves having one report for both financial and
content relationships. The reporting process is a step by step
19. process. It starts from the sub-contractor to the project partner
than to the lead partner and finally ending at the joint
secretariat.
Project reporting contains reporting requirements. The reports
always include information on what was going on in terms of
activities carried out, the output that was delivered, and the
expenditure that was incurred (Musawir, Serra, and Zwikael
2017) Financial reports provide information on the amount
spent from the last release. Many projects deliver six months
reporting which provides more frequent and systematic updates
on the projects
Financial control
Each time the business will reclaim money from the program,
the report on spending will go through a financial check to
make sure spending rules have been adhered to. The audit is
always a requirement every time a report is demanded. Financial
control requires a budget controller to ensure the business is
running smoothly. (Musawir, Serra and Zwikael 2017) An audit
trail gives information on the flow of spending on the project.
For the project to receive funding, it must provide an estimate
of all the costs that the business requirements. Here, the
eligibility of the business will be required. Also, possible
financial problems are foreseen and projected.
Financial control will require the business to set up and account
for project funds, involving finance managers from the start,
securing of the audit trail and keeping the filings up to date
PROJECTION EVALUATION
In the implementation, a foreseen project evaluation has to be
done. Project evaluation will be very important for measuring
the performance of the Nursing Project. Project evaluation will
help in answering questions on whether the project will still be
in track and whether the project will be delivering results.
Before the evaluation is conducted, the specifications and
requirements of the project will be sought. The purpose of the
assessment will mostly for the use of accountability,
