The Professional Nurse

7.0K
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.

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...

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,...

Nursing Interventions II: Selecting and Classifying the Nursing Interventions

3.6K
Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:

Fundamentals of Nursing Process II

There are several characteristics related to delivering nursing care. One vital characteristic of the nursing process is that it can be used to protect nurses and justify the provided care. Productive use of the nursing process requires the knowledge and skills of nurses to assess and solve issues. Nurses should develop and strengthen their critical thinking skills and evidence-based nursing interventions to improve their skills in formulating nursing care plans. A well-defined approach to...

Summary

Academic performance, including nursing course GPA, undergraduate science GPA, and admission GPA, are key predictors of success in nursing graduate programs. Previous experience was less influential in predicting graduation grade point average (GPA).

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Higher Education Research
  • Academic Performance Metrics

Background:

  • Success in nursing graduate programs is influenced by various student characteristics.
  • Identifying predictive factors is crucial for student support and program development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine which student characteristics best predict academic success in a nursing graduate program.
  • To analyze the relative importance of prior academic performance versus professional experience.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective data collection from nursing graduate students.
  • Multiple regression analysis to predict graduation grade point average (GPA).
  • Key predictors examined: nursing course GPA, undergraduate science GPA, admission GPA, specialty experience, and experience duration.

Main Results:

  • Admission GPA, nursing course GPA, and undergraduate science GPA were significant predictors of success.
  • Prior nursing experience and its duration were less influential than academic GPAs.
  • The analyzed predictors accounted for approximately 80% of the variance in student success (R = .80).

Conclusions:

  • Academic achievement, particularly GPAs from undergraduate and graduate nursing coursework, is paramount for success in nursing graduate studies.
  • While valuable, professional experience appears to be a secondary factor compared to academic performance in predicting graduate nursing program outcomes.
  • These findings can inform admissions criteria and student support strategies in nursing graduate programs.
