    In the past decade, the healthcare industry has experienced an increase in the registered nurse job turnover rate among newly or recently graduated registered nurses (RN). Even though hospital turnover rates have remained steady during this period, the turnover rate for registered nurses continues to rise. This turnover rate is resulting in a significant financial loss for hospitals throughout the nation. Many hospitals have implemented various methods to try to prevent the high turnover rates among RNs. While some hospitals have been using extended orientation programs to help RNs become accustomed to their new duties, others have established a formal mentorship program in the hope of reducing RN turnover rates in the organization.

    Thank you for your informative and detailed post. In regards to proper compensation for Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRN), proper documentation and accurate coding will be important (Fant & Theiss, 2015). Professional coders may perform coding to ICD-10 in larger practices, however, in smaller practices ARNPs and physicians will be doing the coding (Nicoletti, 2015). ICD-10 codes are more numerous and detailed than the ICD-9 codes (Fant & Theiss, 2015). Providers will have access to a code index and coding tools to assist them in choosing the proper codes (Fant & Theiss, 2015). ARNPs will also typically use a subset of the codes on a regular basis (Fant & Theiss, 2015). ARNPs can concentrate on becoming familiar with the codes…

    As an advanced practice registered nurse (APRN), we must be able to screen and diagnose appropriately. Understanding the difference and the purposes they serve are imperative. According to PubMed Health (2016), screening should be done prior to the patient being ill to detect the disease process at an early stage. Diagnostic test determines the exact cause of the symptoms. I believe as an APRN there are many factors to consider prior to screening a patient for a particular disease. These factors include age, ethnicity, personal and family history, cost and geographical location to name a few. Knowing current evidenced-based screening practices should also be a key consideration. For these reasons, I do not believe screening for a specific disease…

    Approximately 20% of the United States “Baby Boomer’s” will be over the age of 65 years old. In 2013 there was a total of 44.7 million adults aged 65 and older in the US. Maryland’s population is approximately 6.5 million with 22% the population at age 65 and older by 2030 ("Administration on Aging," 2014, p. 10). Despite the growing number of older adults there is a shortage of registered nurses working in clinical environments that service this population. New graduate nurses often have negative attitudes toward working in environments that are heavily populated with seniors.

    As advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs), it is vital that one must know how to properly document in electronic records. Concise documentation is deemed necessary for two reasons: 1) to provide adequate quality of care for patients, and 2) to receive prompt payments on furnished services (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid [CMS], 2014). If information is not documented, then you typically will not get paid for it. Furthermore, recording the patient’s story, objective findings, assessment, and treatment plan for the patient all serve as a legal record for the future (Phillips, 2013). This paper will discuss the purpose of evaluation and management (E/M) codes, while summarizing three components of E/M documentation…

    If Naquin would quit or get laid off tomorrow, she can work almost anywhere in her field since she is a family nurse practitioner, and they will train her on the job. Another option is she could go back to get her Doctorate’s degree. With a Doctorate’s degree, she could teach in her field and there are some benefits as well such as a pay raise. The only job that can be considered “similar” would be a physician’s assistant. It requires a little more schooling, but these two jobs basically have the same requirements, job duties, and there is not much different in pay. The only liability her job contains is the possibility of a lawsuit. She did explain that there is job growth in her field. When the Affordable Care Act comes/came into effect,…

    Defining the true meaning of nursing is not a simple task; people often struggle to identify what nurses do or what they are. American Nurses Association defines nursing as, “the protection, promotion, and optimization of health and abilities, prevention of illness and injury, alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human response, and advocacy in the care of individuals, families, communities, and populations” (ANA, 2016). Throughout the years, the role of nursing has evolved into much more complex profession. Advance Practice Nurse (APN) has taken the meaning, the duty and the responsibilities of a regular nurse into the next level. APNs are primary healthcare providers who are educated at Masters or Post-Masters level.…
