Compare the roles of state board of nursing with the role of professional organizations in regulating professional practice. What are the major methods of credentialing? List the benefits and weaknesses of each method from the standpoint of protecting the public and the protection of the professional scope of practice.

The state board of nursing is governing body with the goal of protecting the public by overseeing licensing, compliance to state laws, and overseeing disciplinary actions (2021, 2003). Developing standards of nursing care and reviewing curriculums of nursing programs is one aspect of the board of nursing that helps to ensure that graduates are equipped with the tools to provide competent care. Students are required to take a states licensure exam called the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX). By passing this test that is formulated by the board of nursing, the graduate is proving that they have the knowledge and skill to adequately care for patients. Additionally, it requires continued education for practicing nurses to promote growth and maintenance of knowledge.

Professional nursing organizations have grown with the profession as institutions that promote nursing as a profession. These organizations have grown from the Bellevue Hospital School of Nursing that was founded by Florence Nightingale and have developed and molded to fit the profession that it has become today. Such organizations today include but are not limited to the American Nurses Association (ANA) and American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN). Additionally for advanced practice there is the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP), International Council of Nurses (ICN), and the Ohio Association of Advanced Practice Nurses (Matthews, 2012). The ANA is a membership-based organization that represent the interest of nurses around the country. Like the board of nursing, it upholds a standard of care that is expected to be delivered by nurses. It also promotes and advocates for the rights of nurses. Looking back on the assignment for passing HR5223 and workplace violence, the ANA has developed a campaign called #EndNurseAbuse. The ICN is one of the oldest international healthcare federations with more than 130 national nurse associations. Similarly, to ANA, the ICN’s goal to ensure quality treatment of nurses, nurse empowerment, and nurse job satisfaction. Additionally, the ICN is involved in the development of health policy.

Credentialing is completed by licensure, registration, certification, and recognition (Loversidge, 2019). Each state is the determinant of what form of credentialing is accepted taking into consideration autonomy and accountability and potential for public harm. Licensure is the most restrictive form requiring legal authority to practice within the defined scope. Competency must be assessed with a licensing examination and maintained with continued education. Registration is enrolling for a review of credential for entry into a profession giving the title as registered. Certification is obtained after a specialty or focused education program, competency assessment, and practice hours is completed. The APRN is required to have a certificate of authority giving them the ability to practice as an NP, for example. Recognition is the confirmation of the status for the individual. The board of nursing accepts the APRN’s credentials for practice.

While each form of credentialing brings their own importance to the process, having a regulatory process across the nation could really help the profession be seen as consistent. In the state of Ohio to become a nurse practitioner completion of a graduate program and national certification are the two requirements (Licensure, 2021). Additionally, to obtain prescriptive authority the graduate program must contain an advanced pharmacology with 45 contact hours that are specific to that specialty chosen. The prospective NP must apply for prescriptive authority, it is not just given after completion of the graduate program. All these hoops that we jump through to be able to take care of people is how the governing bodies can protect the public. It ensures that it those who are practicing know what they are doing.

There are numerous professional nursing organizations in the U.S., but the American Nurses Association (ANA) is the largest. The ANA self regulates within the nursing profession by developing the nursing process, standards of professional practice, standards of performance, and professional competence (Robbins, 2021). Advocacy is the new standard added to the Standards of Professional Performance (ANA, 2021). The ANA’s Code of Ethics for Nurses establishes the ethical standards for the profession (ANA, 2015). Scopes of practice do vary among different states. However, both professional nursing organizations and state boards of nursing have established standards that guide nursing practice, ensure competency and safety, and optimize health. They both regulate nursing practice and promote excellence. The main methods of credentialing are licensing, registration, certification, and recognition. State boards of nursing regulate via licensure (Milstead & Short, 2019). The National League for Nursing (NLN) creates and controls the licensing exam (Milstead & Short, 2019). The state board also controls the license, registration, and accreditation renewal process. State boards of nursing accredit nursing education programs. Certification acquired through specialty focused education, competency, and practice hours is granted by professional nursing organization and state boards require APRNs possess nationally recognized certification to practice in their advanced roles (Milstead & Short, 2019). The ANA established the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) to certify and recognize healthcare organizations and individuals. The ANCC is the largest and most prestigious nurse credentialing organization in the world (Cosme et al., 2021). The ANA advocates intensely and lobbies for the advancement of the nursing profession.

Unlike professional organizations, boards of nursing are governmental agencies. The potential for conflict of interest does exist within both entities. Boards of nursing have a duty to establish licensing standards while professional nursing organizations have the right to remain free of governmental influence (Milstead & Short, 2019). Public input is a positive aspect of the regulatory process. Built-in delays slow the process of regulatory implementation and are a weakness. Another issue arises when the regulation is misinterpreted as it imposes new meaning that does not coincide with the original intent of the regulation (Milstead & Short, 2019).

This week we are talking about organizational development and learning. So, for your Critical Thinking assignment, please, complete mini-research about “Trends in OD and Learning”.

Discuss web and seminars, e-learning, “soft skills”, emotional intelligence (EI) among other ways of learning which are available and used now individually and in organization.

In the first part you will write a section describing the NBB you decided to research. This section does not have to be extensive.
Definition and description of NBB
Description of possible classroom behaviors of children with the chosen NBB
Description of challenges
List of strategies that can be used by counselors/teachers
Reference list in APA style (at the end of paper)
Reflection. We each have knowledge of appropriate behavior around those with NBBs, but I want you to use this opportunity to deepen your understanding of your own knowledge, reactions and behaviors.
Consider the following questions:
Can you think of example of inappropriate responses you have had in the past?
What do you understand about NBBs that you did not understand before?
In what ways might that new understanding change your behavior?
What theory relates to your new views of NBB’s?
What questions are you left with at this point?

As you can see, there are many perspectives on what constitutes motivation and how to engage it.

Most likely you can imagine many examples of motivating. If you watched any of the multiple big sports championships over these past weeks, you saw the coaches preparing their teams. High stakes in the sports world and for the host city, team, and fan (i.e. those who pay the salaries) pride. Yet, in some ways, this is easier than the task you face as a healthcare administrator. Sports teams have a shared goal (no pun intended), a common language and lexicon, and finite circumstances. 

In healthcare, the team is comprised of multiple constituencies, some of which are organizationally separate (e.g., typically the hospital and medical staffs are two independent entities). As has been discussed this past week, patients come from many backgrounds, with diverse beliefs and myriad expectations. Navigating that environment takes a different set of skills.

Review the concept of Emotional Intelligence at this link: http://psychology.about.com/od/personalitydevelopment/a/emotionalintell.htm

Thinking About the Future

Here is a TEDx presentation that presents a very interesting perspective on the future:

After you watch it (it’s about 17 minutes long), then discuss the following questions:

1. What do think of the video’s basic premise?

2. What do you imagine the future of healthcare to be like?

Here are some additional YouTubes to help spark your thinking:

Can you help me understand this Health & Medical question?

In this assignment, you will create a brief overview of your healthcare organization in which you will outline the purpose and structure of the organization along with information about its finances and the patients it serves.

Evidence-based practice (EBP) integrates the best evidence available to guide optimal nursing care, with a goal to enhance safety and quality. EBP is crucial to nursing practice because it incorporates the best evidence from current literature, along with the expertise of the practicing nurse. The concern for quality care that flows from EBP generates a desired outcome. Without these factors, a nurse cannot be an effective leader. It is important to lead not only from this position but from knowledge and expertise. To gain the knowledge, you require a good understanding of how to search for scholarly resources, as well as identify which databases and websites are credible for the purposes of implementing evidence-based changes in practice.You are supervising three nurses working on the medical-surgical floor of a local teaching hospital. This hospital is nationally recognized as a leader in education and has a computer lab with an online library where staff has access to medical research databases (that is, CINAHL, PubMed, Medline, and Cochrane library) and online sources of all hospital policies, procedures, and guidelines, and computers at nurse workstations that also have access to these resources. (For this scenario, use the Capella University Library to simulate the hospital’s online library.) You have given the nurses their patient assignments and you have all participated in shift report. A new nurse who just completed orientation and training a week ago approaches you and tells you that one of the assigned patients has a diagnosis he or she is very unfamiliar with. Knowing that patient-centered care based on best practices is imperative to positive patient outcomes, you want to assist this nurse to find research that can be utilized to provide the best care for this patient. Describe how you would communicate with this nurse to encourage him or her to research the diagnosis. Assume you will assist in the quest to locate evidence, then describe where you would go within the facility and what resources you would look for. These resources may include websites, journals, facility policies or guidelines, or any other sources of online information.

You may choose the diagnosis for the patient in this scenario. Choose something you would find interesting to research or that applies to a clinical problem you would be interested in addressing. Create a list of at least five sources that could be used to find evidence, with the best source listed first, and explain why the sources you chose are best to find evidence for the diagnosis you chose and the clinical scenario. You are only evaluating the sources of evidence (database, website, policy database or website, et cetera). You are not actually completing a search and selecting evidence. Consider the following examples: a nursing journal in CINAHL may not be the best source of evidence for information on how to administer medications through a central-venous catheter, whereas a hospital policy database found on a website may not be the best source of information on caring for a patient with a rare chromosomal abnormality.The purpose of this assessment is to understand where to find evidence that can be applied to clinical scenarios and to learn effective communication and collaboration with clinical staff during the process of evidence location. As a baccalaureate-prepared nurse, you will not only use research for self-improvement in your clinical role, but you will also serve as a mentor to supervised nursing staff. Therefore, you will need to be able to communicate and collaborate effectively to guide them toward resources to find research, as well as support them through the initial evidence location process. In doing so, nurses can gain access to evidence that can be analyzed and utilized to stay current on best practices. This allows them to provide safe, patient-centered care and improve patient outcomes.

For this assessment:

• Describe your role as a baccalaureate-prepared nurse supervising clinical staff nurses with regard to communication and collaboration in locating evidence for application to a nursing practice scenario.
• Compile a list of five online databases or other online sources (that is, websites, journals, facility policies or guidelines, et cetera) that can be used to research evidence to apply to this scenario and describe to which of these you would direct a nurse colleague to search for evidence.
• Describe where you might go in the clinical setting to complete this research and how you would access the desired, relevant research within research databases or other online sources.

Be sure to address the following in this assessment, which correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Please study the scoring guide carefully so that you will know what is needed for a distinguished score.

• Describe communication strategies to encourage nurses to research the diagnosis, as well as strategies to collaborate with the nurses to access resources.
• Describe the best places to complete research and what types of resources you would want to access to find pertinent information for the diagnosis within the context of a specific health care setting.
• Identify five sources of online information (medical journal databases, websites, hospital policy databases, et cetera) that could be used to locate evidence for a clinical diagnosis.
• Explain why the sources of online information selected should provide the best evidence for the chosen diagnosis.

Using the knowledge you have acquired this semester, write a short paper explaining how as a future informaticist you can have an impact health/patient care.

Requirements:

1. No more than 2 pages of text (title and reference pages are excluded)
2. Use APA 7th ed. formating
3. At least 2 peer-reviewed resources.

You should have two peer-reviewed references which does not include your textbook. You may use your textbook but it will not count towards your two references requirement.

So what qualifies as peer-reviewed:

A peer reviewed article is one that has been published in an accepted scientific journal. Information from the HIMSS website will also be accepted as one of the references is you find relevant information on the site.
