  • Licensed Practical Nurse
    HEALTH CAREER INFORMATION SHEETS Licensed Practical Nurse Professional Activities Licensed practical nurses (LPNs), or licensed vocational nurses (LVNs), care for people who are sick, injured, convalescent, or disabled under the direction of physicians and registered nurses. LPNs care for patients in many ways. Often, they provide basic bedside care. Many LPNs measure and record patients' vital signs such as height, weight, temperature, blood pressure, pulse, and respiration. They also prepare and give injections and enemas, monitor catheters, dress wounds, and give alcohol rubs and massages. As part of their work, LPNs collect samples for testing, perform routine laboratory tests, and record food and fluid intake and output. They clean and monitor medical equipment. Sometimes, they help physicians and registered nurses perform tests and procedures. Some LPNs help to deliver, care for, and feed infants. LPNs also monitor their patients and report adverse reactions to medications or treatments. LPNs gather information from patients, including their health history and how they are currently feeling. They may use this information to complete insurance forms, pre-authorizations, and referrals, and they share information with registered nurses and doctors to help determine the best course of care for a patient. LPNs often teach family members how to care for a relative or teach patients about good health habits. Most LPNs are generalists and will work in any area of healthcare. However, some work in a specialized setting, such as a nursing home, a doctor's office, or in home healthcare. LPNs in nursing care facilities help to evaluate residents' needs, develop care plans, and supervise the care provided by nursing aides.

  • Failure to Complete BSN Nursing Programs: Students' Views
    101 Failure to Complete BSN Nursing Programs: Students’ Views Nancy Elkins, Marshall University Abstract This phenomenological research study investigated the lived experiences of students who did not succeed in completing a 4-year baccalaureate nursing school (BSN) program. The sample for this study included students who failed to completed baccalaureate nursing programs within the last ten years. The geographical area of the sample included students who attended schools in the central and south-western Appalachian counties of the state of West Virginia and the bordering counties in Ohio, Kentucky, and Virginia. A total of 18 participants were interviewed and the interviews were recorded so the data would be collected in a systematic way to facilitate data analysis. There is little empirical data regarding retention in a BSN program and students’ views as to why they were unable to complete their BSN program. Further research is needed to understand nursing student attrition, especially students’ perceptions, which would help nurse educators identify nursing students’ needs, review program’s policies, and possible curriculum changes needed to help students successfully complete their nursing program. Keywords: Nursing Education, Persistence, Student Perceptions and Motivations Introduction A nursing shortage has been predicted in the United States due to the aging nursing workforce and the future needs of the baby-boomers as they age. The Government Affairs Committee of the American Nurses Association (ANA) predict that by 2022 that the United States will need to produce more than one million additional nurses to fill both new nursing jobs and replace the wave of retiring nurses. The premise of this study is that if we better understood why students fail nursing schools, faculty could support program or policy changes, or initiate admission procedures that would better predict student success in baccalaureate nursing programs; thereby, the predicted nursing shortage could be mitigated.

  • The Landscape of Nursing Education in the United States
    FORUM ON PUBLIC POLICY The Landscape of Nursing Education in the United States Tama Lynn Morris, Queens University of Charlotte, Dean, Blair College of Health & Presbyterian School of Nursing Abstract There are over 4 million Registered Nurses in the United States (National Council of State Boards of Nursing, 2019). To become a practicing registered nurse, one must graduate from approved educational program, pass a licensure examination, and meet the requirements of licensure in their state of residence. Despite a common licensure examination, the educational pathways to becoming a nurse are varied and often confusing to prospective students and those professionals who practice beside nurses in the healthcare arena. Outside factors, such as the 2010 recommendation by the Institute of Medicine for 80% of nurses to be prepared at the baccalaureate level, have influenced educational models and hiring practice. The purpose of this paper is to advance knowledge of nursing education in the United States, explore factors influencing the current nursing education model, and challenge assumptions for the future of nursing education. Nursing in the United States is a mixture of credentials, education, and practice. The profession is confusing even to those in healthcare. Many in the healthcare field and the patients they care for are unable to identify the different types of nurses and their level of practice. The purpose of this paper is to describe the current state of nursing in the United States, specifically that of Registered Nurses (RN). The largest population of licensed nurses in the United States are Registered Nurses. In 2019, the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) reported there were over 4.7 million licensed registered nurses.

  • Analysis of the Concept Continuing Education in Nursing Education
    Journal of Education and Educational Developement Article Analysis of the Concept Continuing Education in Nursing Education Edith Biamah Agyepong University of Ghana, Ghana [email protected] Enoch Danso Okyere Islamic University College, Ghana [email protected] Abstract The term continuing education is extensively used throughout nursing education literature. This paper sought to re-examine the concept ‘continuing education’ for its meaning, relevance and appropriateness of application. The authors examined the definitions of continuing education from dictionaries, thesauruses, and current nursing education literature for meanings, usages, attributes, antecedents and consequences in line with Walker and Avant (2005) method of concept analysis. Model, borderline, and contrary cases were also presented. The paper concludes that the development of a theory of continuing education is usually preceded by a logical analysis of the concept which includes distinguishing properties, antecedents and outcomes of further education. The subsequent step in the development of the theory of lifelong education requires establishing theoretical relationships between perceptions, motivation and barriers to continuing education. It recommends that empirical studies of further education, whether qualitative or quantitative can be carried out to find out the effects of lifelong education on the nursing profession to enhance research in nursing and advance professionalism in nursing. Keywords: continuing education, lifelong learning, nursing education, professionalism, registered nurse Introduction Continuing education are courses that are designed to help an individual develop his or her potentials in a specific area. Universities, colleges and local 96 Vol. 5 No. 1 (June 2018) Continuing Education in Nursing Education school boards offer these courses to adults in the community.
