The Nurse Practitioner

In the 1997 article, “Public Goods, Private Goods: The American Struggle over Educational Goals” by David Labaree, Labaree describes three goals that have been at the core of educational conflicts over the years. The first goal mentioned is democratic equality, which is meant to create good citizens and enable educational access to all. The second goal is social efficiency, which creates workers and is viewed by taxpayers and employers as a goal to prepare students for market roles. Lastly is the third goal of social mobility, where individual success for attractive market roles is the main purpose. This primary goal of education has been ever fluctuating. The argument of this essay is that social mobility has now triumphed over democratic equality and social efficiency as the primary goal of education due to parents. This view of social mobility by parents is negative to due its numerous consequences, significantly the growing disparity between the wealthy and the underprivileged, and additionally, the health of children, their behavior, and the degree to which they learn educational material are all affected.

A baby was just born at 26 weeks gestation. Just over half the normal 40 weeks a baby should stay inside the mother. The baby is immediately whisked away and taken to be evaluated and prepared for a long journey ahead. Ever since I could remember babies and the nursery at the hospital have fascinated me. Whenever we would go visit a friend who had a baby, I would find myself peaking over the windows into the nursery. I have known for a while that working in the neonatal intensive care unit is what I want to pursue. Recently I have been looking into nurse practitioners and furthering my education beyond my BSN. Being able to care for these infants in the most critical stages of their life, and being able to provide them the support they need to survive outside the womb seems so satisfying . Neonatal nurse practitioners have years of education, deep history, detailed job description, high demands and some legal issues.

During Sharon M. Drapers childhood years, they were very successful because of her parents. Her parents encouraged her and her siblings to study, work hard, and as a result they could reach any goal they set for themselves. As encouraging as her parent were, they would set standards for each child and push them to be the best they could be. Her parents taught her that every opportunity you get you take because you never know what the future holds for many cases. In the educational aspects “For her parents education was precious commodity”. (SharonDraper1) Ever since the time

Education is a wonderful asset to anyone. With a good one the sky is the limit, and without one opportunity may never come knocking. In today’s society, so much emphasis is put on education. How many times have we heard the saying “if you get a good education, you’ll get a good job and make a lot of money”? Even today, my parents remind me of how much a college degree would add to my marketability. But when does it become too much? Is it possible that one could overlook the more important values in life in search to become a “learned man”? In Richard Rodriguez’s story Challenging The Traditional Classroom he examines his life as a student, and the affects his learning has towards his attitude about family and heritage.

Transferring from a two-year institution to one of the most protégées HBCU's in this country was one of the best life decision I could've made. The astrosphere at my HBCU is second to none. At the point when untouchables specify my establishment first thing that comes to the theme is the legendary "Marching Storm" or our world-class nursing program yet this is simply to give some examples. But with all these incredible trademarks I as an understudy still face worries about foundations with living arrangements, financial aid, and the absence of the educational programs field to consider in. These are just a few concerns to name that rarely gets the mention by outsiders looking in that I as a Prairie

I was awed by the services and many opportunities available to students, such as the chance to study abroad or to do an internship. The option of declaring a pre-occupational therapy major through Texas Woman’s University was an extremely attractive quality for me. This option would allow me to take the prerequisites for an occupational therapy degree while simultaneously earning my bachelor’s degree, cutting down on the expenses and time it would take to complete these classes separately. However, my choice to transfer here was solidified after I attended a Transfer Connection at Texas Woman’s University. Learning more about Texas Woman’s University and experiencing the culture of care and thoughtfulness by everyone I met let me know that Texas Woman’s University was right for me. It was at the Transfer Connection that I learned more about my future major, the honors program that is offered, and the different clubs and organizations around campus. I was surrounded by people that wanted to help me succeed and see me eventually become a Texas Woman’s University Pioneer. I walked away from the Transfer Connection with a bag full of information and my decision of where I would transfer to

Role is a function played by an individual or particular group of individual in a particular situation. It includes connected obligations, behaviors, rights, beliefs, and norms as theorized by people in a social state. The role of a nurse practitioner (NP) started to manifest in the mid-1960s. This came as a response to the nationwide physicians’ shortage. The NPs were then classified under the advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) umbrella. The origin of the NP role in the United States came through the effort of Loretta Ford (RN) and Henry Silver a pediatrician who had insight for the nurses to be developed and be more effectively used to improve the health care. The demand for primary healthcare was increasing as physician were moving to areas of specialty because of the associated income, lifestyle incentives and status. The nurses were to fill the gap. To realize this, education was essential. The nurses where then equipped with skills of performing developmental tests, history taking, doing evaluative procedures, some laboratory procedures and physical examination and referral for medical care that traditionally had been a medicine domain (O’Brien, 2003).

With advances in medicine, Americans are living longer and with chronic illnesses that require long term medical maintenance. As the population has grown with patients that are aging and becoming sicker in the process, there has presented a shortage of physicians to manage this rise in demand. Now, with the passage of new legislation such as the Affordable Care Act, more patients have access to health care than ever before. Many experts have suggested increasing the utilization of Nurse Practitioners and Physicians assistants as a cost effective resource to tackle to rising cost of healthcare amid a physician shortage in America. Several studies have been performed to assess the viability of these options, to address the advantages and

The presence of nurse practitioners (NP) in health care has been necessary for more than five decades. The American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) indicates that there are over 205,000 NPs in the United States being utilized by Americans for their health care needs (AANP, 2015). NPs are a vital part of the modern health care system and are accepted by both health care consumers and other health care providers (Fairman, 2015). A study performed by Hart and Mirabella (2015), of emergency department patients determined that patients were satisfied with treatment by a NP in the past and were willing to receive treatment from the NP during their current visit. A study conducted in emergency departments in Canada indicated that NPs demonstrate attentiveness, comprehensive care, and role clarity (Thrasher 2008). These positive characteristics are critical components of patient satisfaction. Additionally, NPs have been utilized more especially with more American developing insurance coverage through health care reform. According to the Department of Health and Human Services (2013), those seeking services in primary care is expected to continually rise through 2020. This increased demand is largely due to the growth of an aging population and from the Affordable Care Act increase in insurance benefits. The Affordable Care Act, along with the shortage of primary care physicians, has expanded the role of the nurse

For many years doctors and nurses have been a very important part of health care. They are selfless human beings that devote their lives to saving and helping others. Over the years, doctor’s and nurse’s roles have progressed tremendously. Up until the late twentieth century, a nurse worked as an aid to the doctor by sterilizing the necessary equipment and providing it when the time was right. In present day, nurse practitioners can perform their own care, write prescriptions, and even diagnose. Therefore, what makes a nurse practitioner different from a doctor? Nurse practitioners and doctors can perform the same tasks, but the only difference is the level of education required to meet both. Nurse practitioners get paid a salary of about $39,000 at minimum and $157,000 at maximum a year and doctors get paid an average of $200,000 to $500,000 per year. Nurse practitioners are under paid for the amount of hard work they put in to the job they do.

Being a professional nurse means patients and their families in your care must be able to trust you, it means being up to date with best practice, it means treating your patients and colleagues with dignity, kindness, respect and compassion. In nursing, you see people pass away and new life enter this great world. This transition often changes you as a person and you learn nursing lessons along the way. Even in situations that are not "life or death" you can learn many things from patient care.

Not solely for the distinction of being a Prep for Prep graduate, or the awards I earned, but for the resilience I discovered in myself. Having encountered few struggles or obstacles prior, I wasn’t familiar with the experience of questioning my own abilities or self-confidence. But suddenly, when confronted with adversity, and left with no choice but to overcome this disheartenment, I not only survived the ordeal, but thrived under the strenuous circumstances. This quality, this drive is what draws me to UC Berkeley School of Law. Having had the misfortune of completing my undergrad in such a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere has instilled in me a longing for the competitive environment I had grown accustomed to. One that tests my limits, and stimulates my growth as both an intellectual and as a

As such, it provides a multifaceted perspective on the role of education and its limitations with regard to “the American Dream.” As a child, Barack was raised by his single mother in the Southeast Asian archipelago nation of Indonesia. Indonesia today exhibited enormous gaps between the haves and have-nots, with the latter representing a large percentage of the country’s population, especially as one moves farther away from the capitol, Jakarta. Forty years ago, the gap was even worse, far worse, and the wide-scale poverty endemic in much of Indonesia was clearly visible to this young man and his mother. It was in this context that Obama learned the importance of education, describing in Chapter Two his mother’s efforts at inculcating in her son an appreciation for academics “She had taught me to disdain the blend of ignorance and arrogance that too often characterized Americans abroad. But she now had learned, just as Lolo had learned, the chasm that separated the life chances of an American from those of an Indonesian. She knew which side of the divide she wanted her child to be on. I was an American, she decided, and

Children of today’s generation attend not only kindergarten, but pre-school and even some school prior to pre-school. The notion that the younger children begin to learn, the more they can learn, drives many parents to push their kids to study and be strong academically. This is a stark contrast to the students of our grandparents’ generation, who began their academic careers in the first grade with parents who were more focused on their ability to work. Not only the age at which a student begins school differs between these generations, so does the age where the majority of people halt their education. Where an associate’s degree today is the minimum for someone wishing to attain a stable respectably paying career, the
