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.

National Nursing Organizations I01:26

National Nursing Organizations I

Nursing organizations assume a significant role in consistently developing the nursing profession through education, research studies, establishing practice standards, and reforming health policies. Typically, nursing organizations operate at the regional, national, and international levels. For example, the International Council of Nurses (ICN) represents more than 28 million nurses worldwide. In contrast, the American Nurses Association (ANA) is a membership organization representing nurses...

Current Trends in Nursing II

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...
Ethical Dilemmas I01:17

Ethical Dilemmas I

Ethical dilemmas in nursing are of utmost importance, as they often arise from the tension between adhering to core ethical principles and the practical realities of healthcare delivery. These dilemmas require nurses to navigate complex situations where competing ethical considerations pull them in different directions.
Let us explore some examples to understand the potentially complex moral decisions nurses face.
Take the case of caring for minors, particularly in areas related to reproductive...

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Nursing Practice
  • Professional Development

Context:

  • Profound changes in hospital and medical settings.
  • Imbalance in care demand and supply, with increasing clinical complexity.
  • Insufficient healthcare staff quantity.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the feasibility of function differentiation for the nursing profession in Belgium.
  • To identify required activities and competencies for nurses based on patient situations.
  • To assess the complexity of nursing competencies.

Summary:

  • A study involving over 200 nurses identified and clustered nursing competencies based on 364 patient situations.
  • Cluster analysis revealed four statistically and clinically relevant groups of competencies per department.
  • Results indicate feasibility for vertical function differentiation within departments, but not horizontal differentiation across departments, especially for clinical judgment competencies.

Impact:

  • Provides evidence for implementing function differentiation in the Belgian nursing profession.
  • Suggests models from foreign countries for practical implementation.
  • Offers recommendations for education, legal frameworks, interdisciplinary collaboration, and professional development.
