First Pass Effect01:12

First Pass Effect

8.1K
Presystemic elimination, or the first-pass effect, is the metabolism of drugs that reduces their effective concentration at the site of action. Apart from the first-pass effect, the systemic bioavailability of the drug is also reduced by other factors, including incomplete absorption or chemical degradation of drugs.
Depending on the route of administration, drugs can be metabolized in the liver, intestine, lungs, and vasculature. Orally administered drugs are first absorbed through the...

Long-term Potentiation01:25

Long-term Potentiation

3.2K
Long-term potentiation, or LTP, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTP is the process of synaptic strengthening that occurs over time between pre and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic strengthening of LTP works in opposition to the synaptic weakening of long-term depression (LTD) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.

Theoretical Foundations of Nursing Practice01:30

Theoretical Foundations of Nursing Practice

15.3K
Theories play an essential role in organizing patient care. Theories refer to a proposed or followed belief, policy, or procedure that is the basis for action. Nursing theories are knowledge-based concepts that guide nurses' actions, influence nursing education and practice, and allow nurses to care for their patients.
Theories provide a perspective to assess patients' conditions and organize data and methods. They also assist in analyzing and interpreting information. They represent a...

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Administration
  • Professional Development
  • Onboarding Best Practices

Background:

  • Healthcare organizations seek effective onboarding for new Physician Assistants (PAs) and Nurse Practitioners (NPs).
  • A need exists for defined content areas in PA and NP onboarding programs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify essential content areas for PA and NP onboarding programs.
  • To provide guidance for healthcare organizations developing transition-to-practice initiatives.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative study involving interviews with 13 onboarding program administrators in 2018.
  • Thematic analysis of transcribed interviews by a research team with interviewee feedback.

Main Results:

  • Eight core content areas for onboarding were identified: culture and values, goals and strategies, task proficiency, rules and policies, structure, working relationships, wellness, and navigation and politics.
  • These areas represent common themes crucial for integrating new PAs and NPs into practice settings.

Conclusions:

  • The identified eight content areas serve as a foundational framework for designing tailored onboarding programs.
  • Organizations can adapt these common themes to meet their specific needs when onboarding PAs and NPs.
