The projected nursing shortage can incur significant impact to the nursing profession and to the public.  For one, the anticipated increase of the U.S aging population, this will put more strain on the nursing profession to find nursing to care for this population. At the same token, there is a great proportion of the nursing workforce that will reach retirement age. This will create an imbalance situation in terms of nurse-to-patient ratios. Such event will indubitably trigger anxiety, job burnout, turnover, absenteeism, and low morality within the nursing profession.
The nursing shortage can have adverse impacts to patients’ health-care outcomes. The public might suffer considerably from medical errors; nurses may have less time to spend and care with patients. As a result, the proportions of hospital readmission and patient death can increase exponentially.
The nursing profession will face with the urgency to provide answers to the nursing workforce disparity in relation to the growing aging population. Such ageing population are suffering from chronic diseases that require long-term care. That is, the nursing profession must increase the nursing workforce pool to compensate for the projected shortage.
One way that the nursing profession is dealing with resolving this issue is through public-private partnerships. Such a strategy can put emphasis on encouraging nurses to access to higher education so that they become nurse educator. This will require providing incentives to nurse. In the same perspective, efforts should be done to launch advertising programs that show positive aspects of the nursing profession.  Coupled with these, community leaders, healthcare associations, and Nursing Association should advocate elected officials to provide more funds to help the nursing profession.

Assignment 2

Topic and Rationale

The topic and rationale includes a detailed description of the client population you have chosen and examines the impact of substance abuse, addiction, recovery, and relapse on this client population, using two to three peer-reviewed journal articles.

Unit 2 Discussion 1

Local Substance Abuse

Base your response to the following discussion topic on the chapters you read in the Doweiko text, Concepts of Chemical Dependency.

Much of the data reported on the effect of substance abuse is on a national scale. However, the most effective responses to the substance abuse problem occur on a local level. Investigate and report on the nature and extent of substance abuse in your own state or community and compare it to that reported nationally. How is it supportive to the families of people with substance abuse issues? Visit the National Association of State Alcohol and Drug Abuse Directors Web site for a link to each state’s substance abuse agency.

Unit 2 Discussion 2

Town Meeting

Consider the following scenario.

You are attending a local town meeting. One of the agenda items is the planned establishment of a residential substance abuse treatment program in a currently abandoned building. There is much reaction from the audience, with many people expressing concern that this will become a magnet for drug addicts and result in an increase in crime and other related problems.

Based on the assigned readings for this unit, examine the role that public perceptions and attitudes play in providing adequate treatment for those with problems related to substance abuse. Specifically, answer the following questions:

· As a human service professional who both lives and works in the community, what is your reaction to this issue?

· Does your reaction differ based on your role as a professional versus your role as a resident?

· How would you respond when asked your opinion about this issue?

DESCRIBE TWO INITIATIVES OR METHODS FOR ADDRESSING THE NURSING SHORTAGE

 NO COMMENTS

I need a presentation about this question Describe two initiatives or methods for addressing the nursing shortage. One of them is Develop student externship programs and nurse residency program for a conference with 4 power point slides with references. Some tips from the are

1. The information in your slideshow should demonstrate that you have done research on the topic. The research can come from your text book. Please try to avoid using general internet searches (Google) to get your information. If you use a paraphrase, summary or direct quote in your slideshow, please insert an in-text citation and a reference page at the end of your presentation. In order to make your points clear, you can use examples from other experiences that team members have had.
2. Use PowerPoint to create your presentation. You can choose a background that you find appropriate. Remember to keep your slides easy to read with relatively large font size and not too much text. An easy way to do this is to keep bullet points to 6 or less and to avoid using paragraphs on your slides. If you would like to use graphics, animation, or sound, that is fine, just make sure that they do not overpower the speakers.

Please not overpopulate the power point

Consider a conflict situation you witnessed or were engaged in within your practice setting.

/in /by

 
Discussion: Conflict Management Styles
In this week, you considered how ethical, moral, and legal dilemmas can provoke internal conflict when a nurse’s values are not in alignment with the apparent demands of a situation or with others’ values, as well as external conflict that can arise as these dynamics are played out. Of course, conflict can also emerge through seemingly simple issues of little consequence—little consequence, that is, except when they are not properly managed.
Nurse leaders need to be familiar with conflict management styles and the impact these styles can have on interpersonal dynamics, and, ultimately, patient care. For this Discussion, you evaluate a situation marked by conflict and consider how conflict management strategies could be applied to promote positive results.
To prepare:

  • Consider a conflict situation you witnessed or were engaged in within your practice setting. Then, proceed as follows:
    • Think about who was involved, how it was resolved (if it was), and how it might have been handled more effectively.
    • Identify the conflict management style(s) employed by various individuals, including ineffective responses or no response to the situation.
    • Evaluate your personal response to this conflict.
  • What do your thoughts and actions in this and other conflict situations reveal about your typical approach to conflict?

Post a description of how you handled or avoided a conflict, as well as the results of your approach. Explain how you would respond to this conflict today and/or what steps you would take to improve your comfort level and skill for managing conflict in the future (including specific conflict management strategies you would use). Explain how conflict management relates to your effectiveness as a leader.

What insight or ideas did you gain from learning each of these concepts?

/in /by

Your comments will be graded on how well they meet the Discussion Requirements posted under “Before You Begin.”
A poem by T.S. Eliot (1943) says, “We had the experience but missed the meaning.” As your experience in this course comes to a close, I don’t want you to miss the meaning of the materials you have read, papers you have written, and discussions we have had throughout the session. They are more than a series of assignments and grades—the end result should be an improvement in your higher-order thinking and your ability to make connections between thoughts and ideas. You can achieve that through reflection, the art of taking charge of your own mind.
Reflection is a mental process that challenges you to use critical thinking to examine the course information, analyze it carefully, make connections with previous knowledge and experience, and draw conclusions based on the resulting ideas. A well-cultivated critical thinker (Paul & Elder, 2008):

  • raises vital questions and problems, formulating them clearly and precisely;
  • gathers and assesses relevant information, using abstract ideas to interpret it effectively; comes to well-reasoned conclusions and solutions, testing them against relevant criteria and standards;
  • thinks open-mindedly within alternative systems of thought, recognizing and assessing, as need be, their assumptions, implications, and practical consequences; and
  • communicates effectively with others in figuring out solutions to complex problems.

For this discussion, take some time to reflect upon two concepts that you learned in this course. What are the concepts? What insight or ideas did you gain from learning each of these concepts? Were there aspects of the concepts that you would challenge? What is the importance of these concepts to public health? How will you use this new wisdom in your current or future career?
In order to earn maximum credit, the comment should be more than your opinion, and more than a quick “off the top of your head” response. Be sure to support your statements, cite sources properly, cite within the text of your comments, and list your reference(s). The response must be a minimum of 250 words.

Religion and Americans : Moral Implications.

/in /by

 
Religion and Americans : Moral Implications.
One of the more common arguments I hear when discussing ethics, morals, and values is that in the United States we were founded on religious, primarily Christian, teachings. If this is true are we discounting the teachings of Buddhism, Islam, Judaism, Confucianism, Hinduism, and the Baha’i faith? If we profess to be a moral civilization and derive our ethics from the teachings of the Christian faith are these teachings valid and reliable concepts from which ethics are derived, or are ethics relative to the religious teachings of a that religion?
Building on the previous assignment related to religion and morality, in a 2-3 page paper compare and contrast the two articles for this assignment. Specifically, identify where you stand in regard to these two competing points of view. In addition, include an opinion of how these competing points of view might impact “the haves” and the “have nots” and their access to health care.
Read Article 1 – America Is not a Christian Nation
Read Article 2 – America Is a Christian Nation but Does Religion Make us a Moral Nation?
