Abstract:
The Upper Rio Grande Texas Schools of Nursing Regional Partnership, which is composed of the University of Texas at El Paso School of Nursing, Texas Tech University Health Science Center School of Nursing at El Paso, and the El Paso Community College School of Nursing, received American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding under the Texas Tech University Health Science Center's umbrella to establish four Nursing Regional Interdisciplinary Simulation Centers (NRISC) in 2009. The NRISC were established as a partnership between the schools of nursing and four El Paso, TX, hospitals: Del Sol Medical Center, Sierra Medical Center, University Medical Center of El Paso, and Las Palmas Medical Center. This unique and innovative partnership had the following outcomes: (a) increased capacity to produce more nurses and (b) increased synergy among all the partners in relation to the use of simulation-based learning.

The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.
01:30Specialized Care Centers and Settings-II
Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...

Physicians
The physician's primary responsibility is to diagnose illness and direct the medical or surgical treatment of the condition. The authority to admit patients to a healthcare agency or institution and practice care within that setting is granted to physicians by the healthcare agency or institution itself.
