01:21Planning Nursing Care I
The planning phase of the nursing process helps nurses set priorities, outline patient-centered goals and expected outcomes, and tailor nursing interventions to align with the aligned care plan. Through the planning phase, the nurse applies critical thinking skills to align and develop interventions according to the patient's needs. It provides continuity of care allowing patients to receive the maximum benefit from treatment. It serves as a pilot plan for allocating individual staff to a...
01:22The 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.

01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about insulin...
01:15Nursing Implementation
Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
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.

01:30National Nursing Organizations II
Nursing organizations play a vital role in representing nurses working in specialized clinical settings, such as the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN).
The AACN emphasizes a healthy work environment through six standards to achieve an optimal patient outcome. The standards are appropriate staffing, meaningful recognition, collaboration, authentic leadership, effective communication, and decision-making. In addition, AACN provides certification programs, webinars, journals, and...

01:29Planning Nursing Care II
A nursing care plan can present in two forms: informal and formal. Informal is a care plan for the individual use of the nurse and goals they wish to accomplish during their shift. Informal care plans are not included in the patient chart. A formal nursing care plan is a written or computerized guide that organizes patient care. It is further subdivided into two: standardized and individualized care plans. Standardized care plans are pre-populated care plans for specific patient populations,...

Summary
Final-year nursing students need better support during their transition from student to staff nurse roles. Key themes identified include preparation, support systems, and mentorship improvements for children
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Qualitative Research
- Phenomenology
Background:
- Transitioning from student to registered nurse is a critical phase in professional development.
- Children's nursing students face unique challenges during their final placement.
- Adequate support is crucial for successful integration into the role of a staff nurse.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the perceptions of support among final-placement children's student nurses.
- To understand the lived experiences of students preparing for staff nurse roles.
- To identify factors influencing the transition from student to qualified children's nurse.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative phenomenological approach.
- Semi-structured interviews with six final-placement children's student nurses.
- Thematic analysis of transcribed interview data.
Main Results:
- Five key themes emerged: preparation for practice transition, the support system, specific support for children's nursing, students' transition perceptions, and suggestions for improvement.
- Students highlighted the need for better integration of theoretical knowledge with practical application.
- The effectiveness of the existing support system and mentorship varied.
Conclusions:
- Recommendations include integrating a dedicated transition program into nursing curricula.
