Download or read book Chart to Save Your RN License written by Lena Empyema and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-08-11 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You can be an excellent nurse in the clinical setting and still fail to prove that you are an excellent nurse if your documentation is inadequate. Having worked in a variety of inpatient and outpatient settings, I understand the obstacles nurses face. There's just not time, nor do nurses have the mental energy to meticulously document every little thing on top of the rest of their to-do list. That's part of why I became passionate about documentation education. It doesn't have to be an overwhelming, endless challenge to chart exhaustively in hopes that you enter enough data into the chart to defend yourself one day. Rather, leveraging the most critical data, knowing how to format notes and exactly what to say, and when to spend five minutes dumping information into the chart can be learned skills that make documentation faster, easier, and less stressful, while doing a better job of defending your actions. The Importance of Documentation & Overcoming Obstacles Purpose(s) of Documentation Defensive Charting Obstacles Impacting Quality of Medical Record Overcoming Obstacles Legal Responsibilities of the Nurse Duties of the Nurse Nurse Practice Acts Duties of the Hospital Hospital Policy vs. State Board of Nursing Regulations Reasonable Prudence Failure to Fulfill (Document) Responsibilities Fulfilling Responsibilities vs. Documenting Responsibilities What if Responsibilities Aren't Fulfilled?

Daily Narrative Notes Examples of Common Notes Written As-Needed How to Title Narrative Notes How to Format Notes Using Patient Names in Notes Length of Notes Create a Template Tips for Less Stress When Charting BONUS: How I Chart on a "Typical" Shift ABOUT THE AUTHOR: I'm Andrea, RN-MSN. Perfecting my own documentation and working to find concrete guidelines to share with my fellow nurses has become my passion. As I gained more knowledge and researched the dusty, forgotten corners of the internet for obscure evidence-based practice and case studies, becoming a subject matter expert on nursing documentation lit a spark because sharing this information helps empower nurses to understand exactly what should appear in their patient charts, where, when it should entered, and how it should be phrased.

This book was released on 1974 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Data on the numbers, distribution, and characteristics of nursing personnel and potential nursing resources are essential in planning health programs which will keep pace with changing health care requirements, in evaluating the outcome of the programs, and as baseline data for research studies and other investigations. Within the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, the Division of Nursing is responsible for the compilation and continual analysis of these data. They are used extensively by the Division, by other units of the Department, by various Government agencies, planning groups, and by public and private organizations concerned with health manpower. This publication has been prepared in answer to numerous requests for updated source book materials, and to an increasing awareness of the need for their compilation. It presents the most recent data available for the States and the Nation in late 1974, continues the time series that are not included in other publications, and discusses similarities, differences, and limitations of various nurse manpower surveys, interrelated with new definitions and new trends. We hope that this systematic compilation and analysis of available data will provide for its users not only a useful reference volume, but also some bases for in-depth studies of specific variables which comprise the body of statistical knowledge of nursing personnel.

Download or read book The Future of Nursing written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-02-08 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Future of Nursing explores how nurses' roles, responsibilities, and education should change significantly to meet the increased demand for care that will be created by health care reform and to advance improvements in America's increasingly complex health system. At more than 3 million in number, nurses make up the single largest segment of the health care work force. They also spend the greatest amount of time in delivering patient care as a profession. Nurses therefore have valuable insights and unique abilities to contribute as partners with other health care professionals in improving the quality and safety of care as envisioned in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) enacted this year. Nurses should be fully engaged with other health professionals and assume leadership roles in redesigning care in the United States. To ensure its members are well-prepared, the profession should institute residency training for nurses, increase the percentage of nurses who attain a bachelor's degree to 80 percent by 2020, and double the number who pursue doctorates. Furthermore, regulatory and institutional obstacles-including limits on nurses' scope of practice-should be removed so that the health system can reap the full benefit of nurses' training, skills, and knowledge in patient care. In this book, the Institute of Medicine makes recommendations for an action-oriented blueprint for the future of nursing.
