Only add something to the first one, the other two have to come directly from the book. Thank you love you. 2. What is your career goal in nursing? What, if any, further education will you need to fully achieve your goal? My career goal in nursing is to become an Advanced Practice Psychiatric/Mental-Health Nurse Practitioner. PMHNP, provides a wide range of services to adults, children, adolescents, and their families in a primary care facility, outpatient mental health clinic, psychiatric emergency services, private practice, or in a hospital or community health center. A nurse practitioner must obtain at least six to ten years of post-secondary education. After obtaining my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree, I must take the NCLEX-RN, the test for licensure as a Registered Nurse. Then, I must complete and approved Masters advanced nursing education program which includes at least 600 clinical hours. I will earn a Master’s degree in nursing at an accredited school in the state that I would like to practice in. Choose a school in which the classes are targeted towards psychiatry and mental health care. Then I will take the certification exam for psychiatric and mental health nurses after I am done with my program. There are several certifications to choose from but the largest is the American Nurses Credentialing Centers. With this being said, simply I would like to make a difference in health care and change the world we live in. With God on my side, and achieving my career goals step by step, Godwilling I will make a change. 6. Discuss the validity of licensure examination pass rates, regional and specialized accreditation status, and pass rates on certification examination as indicators of quality of a nursing education program. Issue of program quality related to the quality of the educational program itself, as well as the eligibility of its graduates to become licensed or certified which includes: the validity of licensure examination pass rates, regional and specialized accreditation status, and pass rates on certification. Regarding the I stated before goes hand in hand with quality. Regarding nursing education programs quality, how are prospective students protected from program mediocrity? And how is the public protected from lowquality nursing practice, which can frequently be traced to low-quality practice, which can frequently be traced to low quality programs? The program is protected by licensure and certification procedures that ensure a standardized level of competence. The student is protected from marginal programs by institutional accreditation through regional accrediting bodies, specialized accreditation of the nursing programs by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC) or the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE), and approval from the legal regulatory body for programs preparing for licensure, specifically the legal regulatory body for programs preparing for licensure, specifically the respective state boards of nursing. Appropriate questions to ask about the quality of nursing programs are all contributing factors to the validity of licensure examination pass rates, regional and specialized accreditation status, and
pass rates on certification examination as indicators of quality of a nursing education program, include the following: Is the parent institution accredited by the appropriate regional accrediting body? Is the nursing program unconditionally approved by the state board of nursing and fully accredited by a professional accrediting agency (if eligible)? What is the usual pass rate for first-time writers of the licensure examination from the school or program of interest? Is the faculty appropriately credentialed for the are responsibility? Is each faculty member certified in his or her clinical specialty, if appropriate? Are graduates of the program eligible for the appropriate certification examination for the program being pursued? Does the program have troubled history regarding licensure examination performance, accreditation or state approval? Students should recognize that attending a non-accredited program may limit access to federal loan and scholarships. In addition, most graduate schools will accept only students who have earned degrees from accredited schools, which will limit their educational goals. Some diploma programs, rather than closing outright, begin to align themselves with academic institutions. Others actually joined forces with academic institutions and began to offer joint degrees. Some became freestanding degree-granting institutions in their own right and now grant associate or baccalaureate degrees in nursing. These programs have been accredited by the regional accrediting body and have also achieved professional nursing accreditation from one of the specialized accrediting agencies.
8. Analyze the potential impact on nursing education and nursing practice of each trend identified on page 38. Historically, transformations in nursing and nursing education have been driven by major socioeconomic factors. Developments in health care, and professional issues unique to nursing. The technological explosion, “Careful use of technology in education may well enhance the profession’s ability to educate nurses for practice, prepare future nurse educators, and advance nursing science in an era when the number of professional nursed, qualified nurse faculty, and nurse research is well below national need” (AACN). The chaning demographics and increasing diversity of society. However the nursing education programs are configured for the future, facets of the system must be retained that ensure continued
and growing representation of the gender and cultural diversity that exists in American society. Efforts to attract ethnic and racial minorities and men to nursing must be intensified. Ethnic and racial minority enrollment in baccalaureate and graduate programs is showing a slight increase, but at approximately 18% it does not adequately reflect the diversity of the population. African American represent the largest minority group on all levels of nursing edication.
