The Professional Nurse01:22

The Professional Nurse

Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.
Accountability and Responsibility of a Nurse II01:09

Professional accountability in nursing is a multifaceted concept that encompasses professional ethics, legal standards, and employment expectations. This framework ensures that nurses maintain and elevate the quality of care while upholding the values of their profession.

Nurses' Legal Responsibilities II01:23

Nurses' Legal Responsibilities II

Establishing a secure, collaborative nurse-patient relationship is crucial for delivering high-quality care. This relationship, founded on trust, respect, and honesty, enhances the patient's comfort and willingness to share vital health information. For example, a nurse who listens actively and without judgment provides clear information about health conditions and treatment options and respects patient decisions, which builds a trusting relationship.
Communication between nurses and patients...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Professional Development
  • Healthcare Regulation
  • Continuing Professional Development

Background:

  • Nursing Professional Development and Recognition Programmes (PDRP) evolved from Clinical Career Pathways (CCP).
  • The Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act (2003) mandates evidence of practice meeting regulatory criteria.
  • The Nursing Council of New Zealand is the regulatory body for nursing practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report on the second application of a tool measuring knowledge and attitudes towards nursing professional development programmes.
  • To assess changes or consistencies in nurses' knowledge and attitudes regarding PDRP.
  • To explore factors influencing nurses' perceptions of PDRP.

Main Methods:

  • A previously developed tool was used to measure knowledge and attitudes.
  • The tool was administered in the same New Zealand hospital.
  • Data was collected from nurses participating in the PDRP.

Main Results:

  • Knowledge and attitudes regarding PDRP were found to be similar to those in a previous study.
  • A greater understanding of PDRP and its implementation correlated with a more positive response.
  • The study provides insights into the reception of PDRP among nursing staff.

Conclusions:

  • The findings indicate stability in nurses' knowledge and attitudes towards PDRP over time.
  • Enhanced understanding and clearer implementation processes are crucial for successful PDRP adoption.
  • Future efforts should focus on improving communication and education regarding PDRP to foster positive engagement.
