Professional Values

Professional Values

Nurses are responsible for caring for patients during birth, death, illness, and healing. Professional values guide the decisions and actions that nurses make in their careers. If nurses know the decisions and actions to take, providing patients with exceptional care is possible.
The values that are the foundation of the nursing profession are altruism, autonomy, human dignity, and social justice.
First, altruism refers to the concern for the welfare and well-being of others without personal...

The Professional Nurse

The 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.

Lattice Centering and Coordination Number

Lattice Centering and Coordination Number

The structure of a crystalline solid, whether a metal or not, is best described by considering its simplest repeating unit, which is referred to as its unit cell. The unit cell consists of lattice points that represent the locations of atoms or ions. The entire structure then consists of this unit cell repeating in three dimensions. The three different types of unit cells present in the cubic lattice are illustrated in Figure 1.

Center of Gravity

Center of Gravity

The center of gravity (COG) of an object is the point where the object's total weight is considered to be concentrated. Knowing the location of the center of gravity is useful when predicting the behavior of a moving object or designing static structures. In a uniform gravitational field, the center of gravity is similar to the center of mass (COM); yet, these two points can be positioned differently. For example, the Moon's center of mass lies very close to its geometric center, but...

Center of Gravity

Center of Gravity

The center of gravity is the point at which an object's weight appears to be concentrated and can be used to balance the object perfectly. This point is essential in mechanics as it provides information regarding a body's stability and moments of inertia. The center of gravity does not always have to fall within the shape or boundaries of the body; it may also lie outside the body in certain cases.
To determine its location, the principle of moments can be utilized by dividing the object into...

Area of Science:

Nursing Leadership
Healthcare Management
Interprofessional Collaboration

Background:

Doctorally prepared nurses, including those with Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degrees, possess distinct expertise.
The Institute of Medicine's "Future of Nursing" report emphasized the need for enhanced collaboration between DNP and PhD-prepared nurses.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe a collaborative initiative involving DNP and PhD nurse leaders within a comprehensive cancer center.
To illustrate the integration of diverse doctoral nursing expertise in a healthcare setting.

Main Methods:

A professional governance council was established by intentionally combining leaders from research and evidence-based practice departments.
DNP and PhD-prepared nurses worked together on a research study, leveraging their unique skills and knowledge bases.
This structural change facilitated interdisciplinary teamwork and knowledge sharing.

Main Results:

The collaborative efforts significantly improved the professional governance council's comprehension of research methodologies.
Understanding of evidence-based practice processes was enhanced through the joint work of DNP and PhD nurses.
The synergy between different doctoral nursing backgrounds fostered a more robust approach to knowledge integration.

Conclusions:

Collaboration between DNP and PhD nurse leaders can effectively enhance research and evidence-based practice initiatives.
Integrating diverse doctoral nursing expertise strengthens healthcare governance and practice.
This model demonstrates a successful approach to interprofessional collaboration in nursing leadership.
