Explore the Discipline of Nursing.
Directions:
Part I:
A) Spend 1 hour scanning the journal volumes for the year(s) you are assigned. If you are assigned the year 1952 and beyond, spend part of your hour scanning the table of contents for each month in the Nursing Research to identify the types of research being conducted during that time frame.
B) After looking at the table of contents, choose to read a couple of articles that intrigued you.
C) Out of all the articles you skim and/or read, find one RESEARCH article that you found most influential and print out a hard copy, attach it to your written paper, and keep it for part II of this assignment. If you find a picture, table of contents, another article or something that also intrigues you, make a copy and attach it to the assignment.
• Each student will summarize his/her assigned years’ content in a short 2-page paper. Use the Framework for Exploring the Discipline of Nursing (see below) to guide your exploration of the journal volumes and use as a guide to write your Part I paper.
Framework for Exploring the Discipline of Nursing
1. What was the role of the nurse during this time frame?
2. At that time, what did we know about health?
3. What were the common health issues/trends of this time frame?
4. What new discoveries impacted health care and/or what big changes were occurring at this time?
5. Describe the key nursing figures.
6. Describe the development of any professional nursing organizations – name organization, purpose and key players.
7. What did your readings tell you about how nurses were educated for practicing nursing? Were there any nursing specialties?
8. What was the 3 most important findings of your journal review for your time period? (Be prepared to share in class)
Grading Rubric Theorist-Journal Review Paper

Based upon your first selected hospital’s comparative scores, what do you think is the most important area related to patient satisfaction/clinical outcomes to improve, and why?

/in /by

• Enter search criteria and click “Find Hospitals.” Select a hospital on which to focus for this Discussion.
• Review all of the data on this hospital, which should include the various Process of Care Measures and the Survey of Patients’ Hospital Experiences (HCAHPS scores).
• Compare the data for your selected hospital with data from other institutions in the area and across the country, as you think appropriate. (To do this, repeat the steps described above, but this time include these other institutions in your comparison.)
• Based upon your first selected hospital’s comparative scores, what do you think is the most important area related to patient satisfaction/clinical outcomes to improve, and why? It may be helpful to consider what other steps you would take to get a clearer picture of this quality issue.
• Think about how you as a leader and manager would communicate change at the point of care (front line) to provide service that improves one or more patient satisfaction/clinical outcomes in your selected hospital.
Post a brief description of the hospital and your selected outcome, including indications of the needed improvement. Then, provide a short, persuasive statement demonstrating how you would communicate and motivate a nurse at the point of care (front line) to provide service that improves the selected outcome. Support your statement with evidence and strategies from the literature.

Concept Analysis of Caring in Nursing
The Assignment will focus solely upon the discipline of nursing with the inclusion of nursing scholarly sources to substantiate the literature review. Locate evidenced-based articles (based on research studies in nursing) that use the concept or discuss the concept. Please confer with your instructor if you are not sure about your concepts or sources. For this paper you will: Identify the concept and purpose for studying the concept. Describe reasons for this concept being of interest to nursing and its body of knowledge. Define the attributes of the concept and relevant uses. Provide a summary of the concept as described in each article with examples of how the term was defined. Provide the theoretical and operational definition of the concept based on the review of literature. (Theoretical is pure definition and operational is how it is used in practice.) Apply the concept as it relates to your practice and how you will use this concept in the future. My prctice is a CLinical Transplant Coordinator for Kidney and pancreas. Describe the value of these concept analyses to your understanding of nursing knowledge.
