International Nursing Organizations I

2.3K
International Nursing Organization (ICN) is a global union of national nurses' organizations. Individual nurses can be a part of ICN through member organizations. Each member organization strives to ensure quality nursing care, sound health policies, the advancement of nursing knowledge, respect for the profession, and a satisfied and competent nursing workforce.
ICN member organizations work to advance the field of nursing and healthcare via policies, partnerships, lobbying, professional...

Vision

Vision is the result of light being detected and transduced into neural signals by the retina of the eye. This information is then further analyzed and interpreted by the brain. First, light enters the front of the eye and is focused by the cornea and lens onto the retina—a thin sheet of neural tissue lining the back of the eye. Because of refraction through the convex lens of the eye, images are projected onto the retina upside-down and reversed.

Planning 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...

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...

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,...

Area of Science:

  • Radiation protection science
  • Occupational health
  • Public health

Background:

  • Critical shortage of radiation professionals identified by the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).
  • Existing radiation protection guidelines (NCRP Report No. 116) are outdated.
  • Increasing population exposure to medical radiation, particularly from CT scans.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the shrinking pipeline of radiation professionals.
  • To update recommendations for radiation protection in the United States.
  • To investigate long-term health effects of low-dose radiation exposure.

Main Methods:

  • Initiatives focusing on training, engaging, and retaining radiation professionals.
  • The Million Person Study examining health effects in various worker cohorts.
  • Re-evaluation of dose limits for the lens of the eye and emergency responders.
  • Assessment of population exposure to medical radiation and the validity of the linear no-threshold model.

Main Results:

  • The study aims to fill a significant gap in understanding gradual, long-term low-dose radiation health effects.
  • Ongoing re-evaluation of radiation protection standards for medical and occupational exposures.
  • Investigation into potential CNS effects from space radiation and cardiovascular risks from low-dose exposures.

Conclusions:

  • Urgent need for a new generation of radiation professionals.
  • Recommendations for updated radiation protection standards are forthcoming.
  • Continued research is vital for public health and safety in radiation protection.
