Graduates will obtain a diploma in Practical Nursing and may then be eligible to take the National Council Licensing Exam for Practical Nursing (NCLEX-PN) used to obtain nursing licensure in Tennessee. Practical Nursing is entry level nursing. Graduates are prepared with the background and skills to give knowledgeable, basic nursing care to patients with varying degrees of physical needs. Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) work under the supervision of registered nurses and doctors. Positions are available in hospitals, long term care facilities, physician's offices, home health agencies, and in industry. The program is one year in length and classes begin each January, May, and September. The program requires a full-time commitment, Monday through Friday. Students attend class for the first three months from 8:00 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. consisting of lecture style classes and laboratory instruction. Students will begin clinical experience in the fourth month of the program. Clinical hours and days are determined by the clinical facility and will vary. Every effort will be made to give students adequate notice of their clinical schedule. A criminal background check is required. Clinical facilities require this background check and may determine that a student is ineligible to attend clinical at their facility. Practical Nursing students are accepted based on a points system. The 50 students who accumulate and provide documentation for the most number of points will be selected every trimester.

In an increasingly crowded world, people rightly expect health care to meet their needs quickly and, where possible, tailored to their needs. Technology helps to deliver these elements, putting the power back in the hands of the patient. Health care is growing increasingly complex, and most clinical research focuses on new approaches to diagnosis and treatment. In contrast, relatively little effort has been targeted at the perfection of operational systems, which are partly responsible for the well-documented problems with medical safety. If medicine is to achieve major gains in quality, it must be transformed, and information technology will play a key part, especially with respect to safety. Technological innovation in health care is an important driver of cost growth.

  • Impact of Continuity in Nursing Care on Patient Outcomes in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit

Impact of Continuity in Nursing Care on Patient Outcomes in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit Abstract Background: Nursing care is known to improve patient outcomes during hospitalization, but the mechanisms by which outcomes are improved have not been fully explicated. Continuity in nursing care (CINC) may be an important characteristic of nursing care delivery that impacts patient outcomes. However, evidence linking CINC to patient outcomes is limited. Purpose: The first aim of this study was ot examine the relationship between CINC and patient outcomes - length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay, duration of mechanical ventilation, adverse events, and ICU-acquired infections - in a pediatric ICU. The second aim was to examine whether the match of nursing expertise to mortality risk enhances the relationship between CINC and patient outcomes. Methods: This cross-sectional study was a secondary data analysis of prospectively collected data that were merged from multiple databases from one pediatric ICU. The analytical database was a combination of four databases: the Nightingale Metrics database, the Virtual Pediatric Intensive Care Unit Performance System database, the Medical/Surgical Intensive Care Unit-Acquired Infection database, and the Safety Errors Reporting System database.

  • The Use of Human Milk and Breastfeeding in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
    The Use of Human Milk and Breastfeeding in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Position Statement #3065 NANN Board of Directors April 2015 The use of human milk and breastfeeding are essential components in providing optimal health for the critically ill newborn. As the professional voice of neonatal nurses, the National Association of Neonatal Nurses (NANN) encourages all neonatal nurses to provide mothers of critically ill newborns with the education, support, and encouragement needed to provide human milk for their infant. Association Position Human milk and breastfeeding are essential for the growth and development of the vulnerable infant. All infants should be exclusively breastfed for the first 6 months, with continued breastfeeding for a year or more. A top priority for neonatal nurses is to ensure that all families understand the unique role that human milk plays in the health of their child. It is the responsibility of neonatal nurses to provide all mothers with education about the benefits of human milk for their infants, regardless of the mothers’ original intentions regarding feeding, and to encourage them to express milk for as long as possible. Research by Hallowell and colleagues demonstrated that only 49% of NICUs had lactation consultants working in the NICU and that nurses only reported providing breastfeeding support 13% (median) of the time on their prior shift (Hallowell et al., 2014). Neonatal nurses should incorporate lactation support into their daily care to ensure that infants receive human milk through discharge and to help mothers achieve their personal breastfeeding goals. Nurses must possess evidence-based knowledge regarding the science of human milk, lactation, and breastfeeding.

Abstract ABSTRACT "WE WERE THE EYES AND EARS...": NURSING AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE UNITS IN THE UNITED STATES, 1955-1982. Briana Ralston, MS, RN Julie Fairman, PhD, RN, FAAN In the 1960s and 1970s, neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) became the standard of care for critically ill newborns in hospitals across the United States. Though work has been done to examine how nurses participated in the development of ICU's for adult populations, scholarship related to the formation of NICUs is sparse. Using historical methodology to examine hospital archival data, oral history interviews, and scholarly literature, this work examines the roles nurses played in the development of NICUs as technological systems between 1955 and 1982 in the United States.

  • Abstract Areas of Electronic Medical Records Impacts In
    ABSTRACT AREAS OF ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORDS IMPACTS IN NURSING PRACTICES: A CONTENT ANALYSIS by Phylicia Lee Objective: The aim of this review is to examine areas of electronic medical records (EMRs) impacts in nursing practice. Healthcare organization leaders are introducing EMRs as part of their electronic documentation systems. Therefore, the impact of such systems need to be examined to ensure they are helping organizations to achieve the expected benefits. In addition, nurses are some of the primary users of those new systems, but there are no recent review studies that provide evidence on whether EMRs impact positively or negatively in areas, such as communication with other providers, accessibility of records and information, costs or savings, security and privacy, and quality of patient care. The EMR is a tenant of Electronic Health Recording (EHR) system. Only ten of the fourteen articles that were reviewed provided a definition for EMR (N=9, 64%). From these 9 articles, a general definition for EMR is a legal record documenting in a specific health care institution or care delivery organization, and is used in such a way that it links care delivery systems. The content analysis revealed six categories of areas/outcomes being impacted as a result of the use of EMR systems. These included: (1) accessibility of records and information, (2) cost, (3) practice efficiency, (4) security, (5) patient- nurse relationship and communication, and (6) quality of patient care. All 14 articles that were reviewed used three methods to carry out their research: qualitative, quantitative or a mixture of both. It is essential that future research replicates those studies, using valid measuring instruments on EMR factors impacting nursing practices.
