Abstract
This work focuses on proposing a minimal level offering that should be required to be taken for the registered nurse boards for an associate degree level. The essay is intended as a recommendation to the State of Connecticut Licensure Board. A copy of one of the sources used is appended to the paper.
From the Paper
"All of these concerns coupled with other issues will eventually reduce the overall quality nurses are able to provide for the care of their patients. The nursing profession is also an aging system where older more experienced nurses are leaving the system in droves but the profession is having difficulty replacing those who have exited. "Largely because of current conditions, veteran nurses are leaving the field and potential new entrants are being discouraged from joining the profession. Just as the population is aging and in need of more nursing care, the nation now faces a new nursing shortage." (Gordon) It will be an important function of the current licensure board to adopt new standards that will both maintain high levels of professionalism in the nursing field but also to promote the profession to a younger generation that has not taken to the field in the same way that previous generations have."

Abstract
This paper relates that, in five years, the professional vision of the author projects that she will be in a position to lead other nurses in the field of mental health as head nurse of an adolescent drug and alcohol treatment facility. The author points out that to attain this goal she must develop skills in the areas of communication, organization, management and education. The paper explains that the author chooses to be a leader in the field of adolescent drug and alcohol treatment because she has seen in her own family the damage and devastation that drug and alcohol dependence can thrust upon, not only the addict, but also on everyone who loves or interacts with the addict on a regular basis.
From the Paper
"Locally I will help the nurses that I am charged with supervising learn the difference between caring for the patient and the family, and becoming enmeshed with them. This will be done through the encouragement of education and informational seminar attendance for the nurses who are relatively new to the recovery field of medicine. In addition, I will oversee the nurses on a monthly basis so that I can help guide them to provide the most professional and compassionate care possible."

Abstract
For the nurse, there can be little doubt that the primary function is to provide the best care possible within the limits of policy, practice and ability. To that end, there are limits to what a person can provide and the self, not the institution, determines those. Over the next five years, I will be embarking upon and completing a journey, the end of which will find me in a hospital or clinical setting as a nurse with direct impact and influence upon the outcome of treatment. It will be my responsibility to provide the best care possible, to be aware of the needs of the setting, the physicians and the patient and to be able to balance all of those in my actions. I will be responsible for compartmentalizing my day, my life and all of the demands of the job so that I may remain focused upon the tasks at hand. It will also be an imperative to function fully within the team environment and to be a complete and active member in that team. Finally, it will be incumbent upon me to never stop learning about my practice and craft. It is for these reasons that the development of personal goals is so significant.

Introduction
Position
Predisposing Factors
Treatment
Prevention
Implications
From the Paper
"In order to understand fully the pathogenesis of addiction, the biological and psychosocial prerequisites for substance abuse and subsequent addiction will be discussed. The pathogenesis of substance dependence conforms to a general behavioral pattern of cause and effect. An external stimulus such as stress in multiple spheres of an individual's life (e.g. work/school, home, personal) may trigger an initially behavioral response to these stressors. The pleasurable stimulation from intake of these substances, the escapist theme, and the aversiveness of the "reality" of the individual's situation conditions the individual to avoid the aversive stimulus and take in these substances, where their pleasurable effects serve as a reward, a positive reinforcement for substance-seeking behavior. Behaviorally-oriented treatments involve extinction of this reinforcement."

Abstract
This paper defines and discusses Orem's model of self-care in nursing. The paper identifies the issues related to increased autonomy for patients in respect to identifying and promoting their own health care needs, while also also ensuring that the patient receives care from health care professionals, family and friends when needed. The paper analyzes current research on this topic.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Summarization of Literature
Positive Factors Relating to Nursing Practice
Negative Factors Relating to Nursing Practice
Personal Perspectives towards Orem's Model of Self-Care and Long-Term Nursing Care
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Orem's model of self-care promotes specific health goals that increase the autonomy and the self-care of the patient. Not all patients can benefit from all aspects of this model, but most patients are likely to achieve a greater degree of control over how and to what extent their health care needs are met. The model shows substantial positive outcomes as a component of health care, as it promotes improved diagnosis, improved communication between the health care provider and the patient, and reliance on others to supplement the patient's health care needs when specific outcomes cannot be met by the patient alone."

Abstract
The paper examines the Orem model that is particularly used in rehabilitation and primary care settings where the patient is encouraged to be as independent as possible. The paper presents an example of the Orem Care Plan model using a fictional movie family from the show "The Other Sister." The writer explores the family and includes environmental and self-care directives for the family members. The paper emphasizes that the Orem model is a model that is founded in the belief that humans will self-direct care once they are given the tools to do so. This model is used to examine the phases and steps in the model and to demonstrate how a model of self-care can be designed and implemented to accommodate individual needs.

715 words (approx. 2.9 pages), 1 source, APA, $ 25.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how Orem sees the person as a biopsychosocial being, capable of self-care. The paper explains how the theory allows for a means to approach every patient in every situation, especially a patient with limitations. The paper stresses how, because the focus is always on the patient, the patient becomes an active agent in her health and recovery.
Outline:
Experience
Reflection
Analysis
From the Paper
"Since I was curious as to whether nurses actually make use of nursing theorists, I asked one particular nurse whom I admired if she relied on a theorist. This nurse works on a head injury unit and all the patients respond warmly to her. Her response was that she uses Orem's self-care deficit theory because it provides a practical approach that can be used with every nursing situation. She explained that whenever you have a patient with limitations, then self-care theory is perfect. Orem's theory offers a rational basis for planning and implementing nursing care. From what she said, I decided to learn more."
