Abstract
In this paper, the writer presents her personal definition of the field of nursing. It includes the four main concepts of nursing, health, the patient, the nurse, and the environment and notes what personal and professional values are inherent in the writer's definition. The paper also provides examples of how the writer's definition is reflected in practice in the ICU. These values are also looked at in relation to the overall Jesuit mission.
From the Paper
"This paper is the statement of my personal definition of nursing. It will first discuss the four concepts of nursing and how I see them. These concepts are: health, the patient, the nurse, and the environment. Next, direct examples will be given that show how my personal definition is applied to actual nursing practice, in my case, in the intensive care unit (ICU). Finally, these ideas will be looked at in light of the overarching Jesuit values and mission. By looking at all of these aspects of my own definition of nursing and application of said idea, an overall picture of caring for others, for their health and their humanity, will be painted. The first concept that makes up my own personal definition of nursing is one of the main tenets of the field: health."

Beliefs about Advanced Nurse Role Practice in Nursing
Position Description
From the Paper
"Human beings, their environment, health and the nursing profession possess a complex relationship where each cannot be neglected nor overemphasized. The author believes that the nursing profession is both an art and a science. Both of these are manifested in the humanistic, yet scientific grounding of interventions that aim to produce the best available evidence. Humanistic is used in the sense that many diseases can be explained by the many disciplines in the health sciences and treated accordingly; however, the nurse professional must bear in mind that it is not always sufficient to address the physical illness apart from the patient's social environment and mental state."

Abstract
This paper presents an examination of personality theories by famed theorist Erik Erickson and looks at how the theory applies to the field of nursing. The paper also explores the theory of locomotor development and explains how it is used in the author's daily profession as a nurse.
Outline:
Introduction
The Theory
Using it in Nursing
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In the field of pediatric nursing, the understanding of Erickson's personality theory can be extremely useful. Knowing what the theory believes and what the various stages of childhood development entail, provides an excellent backdrop for nurses to be significantly more equipped when it comes to handling their young patients.
When children are seen in the office, it can be a scary and sometimes overwhelming experience for them. If they are between the ages of 2-6, a nurse who understands the locomotor theory of Erickson can use it to help the child feel comfortable and in control of their environment and the medical events of their lives.

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.

900 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 2 sources, $ 35.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at nursing and obstetrical nursing and investigates what agencies police and design the curricula for these fields. The State Boards of Nursing and the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission are examined and the policies and standards that they set are discussed as well as the required curriculum content and development they oversee. Their impact upon curriculum development and revision is also reviewed.
From the Paper
"In the arena of nursing, there are so many specialties, so many fields, so many types of nurses, that there must be governing and regulatory bodies. Without such organizations that regulate and control nursing and nursing education programs, there would not be a singular and uniform set of expectations for this nation's nursing professionals. The two organizations that will be discussed in regard to how they influence the regulation of nursing, and more specifically how they could influence obstetrical nursing, are the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) and the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC). The first of the two governing agencies that this paper will discuss and investigate is the NCSBN."

Nursing, 2005.
This is a five page paper discussing a personal nursing philosophy.
1,125 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 3 sources, $ 44.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper provides a five page assignment exploring a personal philosophy of nursing. The paper studies the Orem model as the basis of the nursing philosophy. The paper discusses this theory and applies it to a particular area of nursing, namely rehabilitative nursing. In addition to a discussion of the RAM model, the paper presents information with respect to other types of models.
From the Paper
"Although it is of strategic interest to implement initiatives that support professional nursing practice, it is very challenging in the current cost-constrained healthcare environment to maintain professional nursing practice. The professional nurse is expected to practice at a level of autonomy, control of decision-making, physician collaboration, responsibility, accountability, and authority that have a direct and powerful impact (Sidani, Doran, Mitchell, 2004). According to Dobie (2001) nurses are already valued for their technical skills and for their comforting and nurturing skills as well. However, the true power of nursing is in the recognition of a nurse's contribution to the healthcare system and the knowledge and complex decision-making skills that are necessary to care for patients. In an era of cost-managed healthcare and the delivery of quality care, evidenced-based practice has emerged as the accepted paradigm to guide nursing practice to meet those goals (Kitson, 2000)."

Abstract
This paper, written in the first person, discusses the reasons for becoming a nurse. It explores why the author is a good candidate for the nursing profession. It also expands on the gender stereotype of nursing and the author claims to be a gender pioneer in the field of nursing.
From the Paper
"I also feel that sometimes people ignore patients because they do not speak English fluently, when in fact the case is that the patient has simply not had the time to get used to English, and find a level of comfort expressing their thoughts and concerns in the language. Language, of course, is not the only cultural barrier. I know in my own culture, parents often have more weight in their children's decisions than they do in the lives of my non-Nicaraguan friends, and quite often grandparents are consulted as well for big family decisions. All good nurses should understand the impact of cultural decisions, and ask if more persons wish to be involved during a critical health decision, rather than simply talking to the patient's spouse or closest family member.

By the same token, it means forging an alliance with persons on personal levels other people may be uncomfortable with."

Every Nurse Controls the Image of Nursing, 2008.
This paper is a persuasive essay on the changing role of the nursing profession's image in modern day society.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the changing role of nurses. The paper asserts that while every nurse controls the image of nursing, the demands of the times change what constitutes, and what will constitute nursing. Furthermore, the paper states that the nursing profession is undergoing transitions both within and without that profoundly impact it's public image as providing care to those in need. The author states that whereas technology can provide more and more timely cures, nurses are still typecast into a caring role, which may be less of a priority in the global scene that merely looks at health care as a service-oriented body repair shop.
From the Paper
"As often is the case, internal and external change can have unpredictable effects on the components of the profession, not only as a whole. For instance, the broadening of the different roles a nurse can pursue has only happened in the latter quarter of the previous century in response to the expanding demand for them. There is an inherent advantage in specializing and giving students advancement options, even the option to independently practice is currently available. However, with the lack of time to develop these different tracks into distinct, autonomous, regulatory professional entities, this leaves the impression on the public that the nursing profession's demand-driven schism is a warning sign that health care is slowly becoming service-oriented rather than patient-oriented. Presently, it is difficult to distinguish nursing roles such as the nurse practitioner apart from the roles of other professionals such as physicians. Such increasing overlap in responsibilities, knowledge, patient treatment and management must be assessed and acted upon in order to ultimately establish a change in the public's perspective on nursing as a whole."
