Professional Practice Model

Nurses graduate from educational programs with nursing degrees.  They also register with state boards to receive a license to practice nursing in their state.  The scope of a nursing license is decided by the state’s nurse practice act.  But the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) defines the professional practice model as the driving force of […]

Restoration of Joy

There may not have been any other time in history that healthcare needed self-care so much.  Many of you have spent the last 19 months sacrificing in ways that others do not understand and you may be feeling empty and discouraged.  At the same time, your email boxes are likely filling up with recommended ways […]

Evidence-Based Practice

Research is the mechanism by which best treatments, care protocols, and medicines are determined to yield improved clinical outcomes; evidence-based practice (EBP) is the mechanism by which these proven treatments are brought to patients everywhere.  Use of EBP in nursing care has been shown to lead to better patient outcomes and higher nursing job satisfaction.  […]

Nursing Values

Nursing theory and philosophy is not a highly desired course in nursing studies.  Most nursing students, regardless of program of study, are either terrified or annoyed at the thought of having to study nursing theory and philosophy.  Likewise, I doubt that many nurses (myself included) spend a lot of time brushing up on nursing theories […]

In Pursuit of Excellence

The Oxford dictionary describes Excellence as “the quality of being outstanding or extremely good,” (Lexico.com).  Excellence is very different from perfection, which can be thought of as a state of being without mistake, flaw or fault.  Excellence is a state of maximizing performance to reach or exceed goals.  It requires knowledge, skill, focus, commitment and […]
