Nursing Roles Graphic Organizer

  <Clinical Nurse Specialist> <Nurse Educator> Observations (Similarities/Differences)
Ethics Clinical nurse specialists possess complex decision-making abilities in addition to their extensive expert knowledge. They are well informed on ethical principles in their profession. Studies have shown that they can effectively deal with complicated ethical issues that arise during patient care (Fukuda et al., 2020). This is not only beneficial to the patient, but to other nursing staff who can be enlightened on the same as the clinical nursing, specialists can offer them guidance. Nursing educators have been entrusted with creating awareness and training nursing students on professional ethics. This necessitates the use of interventions such as workshops, group discussions, and case scenarios to instill these ethical principles (Izadi et al., 2020). This ensures that students can uphold these values in the future during real-life clinical practice. Nurse educators and CNSs are conservators of professional, ethical codes who can guide nurses and nursing students in adopting the same.

CNSs operate within the clinical setup and healthcare organizations, whereas nursing educators teach within nursing learning institutions.
Education Clinical nurse specialists are advanced registered nurses. They usually have attained a master’s degree or doctoral training in their specialty (Ko et al., 2019). They are also accredited to practice in the clinical setting. They can educate other nurses as well as the general population on matters of health in an evidence-based manner. The minimum qualification to work as a nurse educator is registered nurse certification together with certification in their field of teaching. This is, however, dependent on the training institutions that may require a higher level of training, such as a master’s degree or doctoral training. The two professions require possession of a registered nurse certification.

A Master’s degree or higher level qualifies one to be a clinical nurse specialist, which is not mandatory for a nurse educator.
Leadership Clinical nurse specialist plays a critical leadership role within the healthcare organization. They engage in administrative and management roles and take part in significant decision-making to ensure quality patient-centered care (Ko et al., 2019). They lead the nurses in consultation and collaboration with the other healthcare professionals (Lamb et al., 2018). They also take part in the formulation of policies regarding patient management and governing other nurses in various units within the hospital in implementing patient nursing care. Nurse educators demonstrate a leadership role to their students by being their training facilitators. They are also role models and change agents to the students through professional development. They also cultivate teamwork and collaboration among the students, especially in patient care. Clinical nurse specialists and nurse educators are both looked up to as role models by other nurses and students, respectively.

They are both advocates for change through professional development and training.

CNSs play a leadership role in the clinical setting, whereas nurse educators lead in the learning institution.

CNSs equip their subordinates with evidence-based clinical skills in clinical nursing care, which is limited compared to learning institutions that majorly offer theoretical knowledge.
Public Health CSNs ensure the provision of quality care to patients to ensure the wellness of the general population. Together with other multidisciplinary teams, they also participate in health education for patients and the general public. Nurse educators enlighten the students on infection prevention and control as part of the curriculum.

They also participate in and sometimes involve students in conducting scientific research on issues that may impact public health within the community.

 Both contribute to public health through awareness creation.

CSNs are in more contact with the patients and general public and thus play a greater role in public health.
Health Care Administration CSNs play an administrative role within the hospital setting by being in charge of other nursing staff. They also offer direct nursing care to patients.

 

      

Nursing educators have limited healthcare administration roles.

They, however, have the qualifications if needed.

 Both have the competencies to offer health care administration.

CSNs are in a better place to offer these services since they work within the hospital setting, whereas nurse educators may already have their schedules tight from their training roles.
Informatics CSNs may promote the use of technology for ease of communication with other staff, as well as the use of telehealth to ensure wider coverage in patient care.

 

 Most learning institutions have implemented the use of technology in the training of students thus, nurse educators can disseminate information through such platforms. Both use information in their line of duty for communication and improved quality of learning and care services.

CSNs may directly be involved installation and maintenance of communication technologies within their workplace, whereas nurse educators’ role is limited.
Business/Finance CSNs may participate in policy making that ensures cost-effective delivery of health services as they undertake their management roles.

 

 

 

 Can offer help to institution leadership on how to provide effective and affordable learning to all students with the available resources. Both play a role in matters of finances within their respective institutions. CSNs are more involved due to their administrative and managerial role.
Specialty (e.g., Family, Acute Care) Areas of specialties by CSNs include administration and management, research, and clinical practice within any relevant department within the hospital.

 

 Areas of specialties available for nurse educators training of learners within any faculty and an administrative role within the learning institution. Both have extensive opportunities, but the difference is the set up which is either the hospital or learning institution.
Regulatory Bodies or Certification Agencies That Provide Guidance or Parameters on How These Roles Incorporate Concepts Into Practice The regulatory body is the American Nurses Credentialing Center.

 

 Certification is by the American Association College of Nursing. They are both headed by the Board of Directors within the state.

Future Scope, Role, and Professional Obligations Example Paper

Advanced registered nursing graduates join the field at a time when responsibilities and scope of practice are evolving due to legislative and policy changes in response to the changing demands of the health care system. Professional nursing organizations serve a vital role in ensuring that advanced registered nurses’ voices are heard, as well as in assisting nurse specialties in their attempts to broaden their area of practice and full engagement across the health care system.

The master’s degree in Advanced Practice Midwifery is a two-year program designed to equip advanced practice midwives to offer creative, concrete solutions to complicated health complications from a scientific standpoint. Graduates are expected to be leaders with decision-making abilities in advanced clinical management and midwifery training upon completion.

As a future advanced midwifery practitioner, I will be able to deliver care in various settings for various patient demographics. The degree will also give me the abilities I need as a midwife to undertake research that will add to the body of knowledge that defines the profession of midwifery.

Scope Of Future Role As An Advanced Registered Nurse

My scope of practice as a midwife will include a scientific, intentional strategy for advanced midwifery practice and professional scholarship to enhance the quality of medical care for childbearing women and newborns, focusing on rural and disadvantaged populations.

Ranchoff and Declercq (2020) show midwifery scope also exhibit improved communication, critical reasoning, therapeutic interventions, and research to solve the standard of health and safety of childbearing women and infants, with a focus on achieving SDG’s third goal and reducing maternal and neonatal mortality and illness.

With a master’s degree, I may take on the role of advanced practice midwifery practitioner leader, inventor, clinical researcher, health advocate, and collaborator to address current and future health and healthcare delivery requirements at the personal, organizational, demographic, and community levels.

The American Nurses Association undertakes advocacy initiatives to guarantee that legislators recognize the responsibilities of the nurse and nursing when putting legislation into effect through the regulatory process. The ANA collaborates with federal agencies, and it is the role of the federal agencies to execute legislation through the regulatory process (ANA, 2022).

The ANA is the main group in ensuring that the critical voice of nurses is heard throughout this process. By joining ANA, I can exemplify advanced practice leadership by using ethical, cultural, social, political, and economic methods to reform health systems. This will assist me in evaluating, synthesizing, and using scientific knowledge from various fields to enhance and revolutionize healthcare and outcomes.

The nurse leader position arises as the nurse’s function evolves from that of a physician’s assistant to that of an essential participant of the clinical team. A nurse leader’s role is broad, but its foundation is to supervise nurses and guarantee that they adhere to professional level standards of quality care and patient safety.

The fundamental message of the IOM review is that nurses ought to be completely involved with researchers and clinicians in reforming the nation’s healthcare system (Van Hecke et al., 2019). As an advanced registered nurse midwife, my future job will be to advocate for better treatment and enhanced collaboration among nurse practitioners, doctors, and other health care providers.

According to Van Hecke et al. (2019), the indication is that the scope of the nurse leader’s responsibilities includes greater roles and the requirement to provide supervisory services to the hospital or clinical personnel, and nurse leaders are accountable for overseeing the safe provision of services and must be fully knowledgeable with the legal profession’s and healthcare practice’s safety standards and practices.

As a leader, I should advocate for high-quality treatment for all patients and their families. Successful nurse leaders prioritize providing high-quality relationships for both patients and nurses in their care environment.

Professional Nursing Organizations Influential In Advancing The Scope

To protect the public’s welfare and safety, specialty groups supplement regulatory measures in the areas of health policy and practice standards. The National Council of State Boards of Nursing is a major governing body in nursing.

The NCSBN offers a venue for nurse organizations to operate and confer on issues of mutual interest and concern affecting public health, safety, and welfare, along with the development of nursing licensure examinations (Jefferson et al., 2021). The NCSBN is essential in the regulation of nursing licenses in the United States since it prepares the NCLEX RN and NCLEX-PN exams. The NCSBN also offers information to state nursing boards to help them with their responsibilities of regulating nursing knowledge and training.

Nursing organizations have a societal commitment to improving the health of the country. Professional nursing organizations improve health outcomes in national and global contexts in several ways. The American Nurses Association (ANA) is the largest professional nursing organization in the United States, representing its members’ views and interests in various governmental forums.

All nurses who are members of their respective state nursing organizations are eligible to join the ANA. The ANA’s political and legislative agenda has addressed issues such as proper healthcare compensation, services, access to health care, and acceptable nurse staffing ratios, all of which align with my worldview.

As a midwife, I’d want to become a member of The American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM), the professional organization that supports certified nurse-midwives (CNMs) and certified midwives (CMs) in the U.SA. ACNM sets the benchmark for quality in midwifery training and practice in the U.SA. and builds midwives’ capability.

I can advocate for a specific emphasis on maternity, delivery, and gynecological and reproductive care as a practitioner and primary care midwife for women of all ages (Emeis et al., 2021). This leads to the embrace of women’s strength and determination and the relevance of their wellness to the well-being of couples, societies, and economies.

According to Emeis et al. (2021), ACNM believes in the fundamental human rights of all women while also acknowledging that when these rights are infringed, women bear a disproportionate burden of vulnerability.

ACNM’s aims and mission align with my worldview and philosophy of care because we both believe in democratic, equitable, comprehensive quality health care that encourages healing and health, as well as health care that respects human dignity, uniqueness, and group diversity. Both I and ACNM feel that thorough and accurate information is essential for pregnant women to make educated health care decisions.

My world views include self-determination and active engagement in health care judgments, as well as the inclusion of a woman’s selected family members in all health care experiences, to the extent requested.

Because it supports formal education, lifelong individual learning, and the creation and implementation of research to inform ethical and competent midwifery practice, participation in this organization improves my practice. Fundamental beliefs and values serve as the framework for personal and collaborative leadership at the community, state, national, and international levels to enhance the health of women and their families across the world (Emeis et al., 2021).

Controversial And Evolving Issues

A controversial or evolving issue that is most likely to affect my scope of practice is the scope of practice between the nurse practitioner and physician assistant. Nurse practitioners (NPs) are registered nurses who have completed further studies and clinical training at the masters or doctorate level.

To receive an NP degree in midwifery, nurses must undertake at least 1000 hours of professional practice in maternity and neonatal health. State nursing boards license and regulate NPs. Laws also differ by state. Half of all states allow NPs to practice autonomously without supervision. All states in the United States grant NPs complete prescribing authority, including restricted medications (Sarzynski & Barry, 2019).

On the other hand, physician assistants and PAs train alongside medical students for two years and get a master’s degree. Before graduating, PA students must complete at least 2000 hours of supervised practice. PAs are regulated by state medical boards and must practice under the supervision of a physician, albeit the level of physician supervision varies by state.

PAs must maintain their certification in the same way as doctors do: they must complete 100 hours of continuing medical education every two years and take a recertification test every ten years. Although PAs are permitted to write prescriptions in all 50 states, they are not permitted to prescribe restricted medications in Kentucky (Sarzynski & Barry, 2019).

Despite variations in training and license, Advanced practice provider’s (APPs’) area of practice overlaps significantly. According to Sarzynski and Barry (2019), APPs provide over half of inpatient medical services at Veterans Health Administration facilities, with minor changes in their duties and administrators’ perceptions of care. Nonetheless, doctors and nurse practitioners have differing perspectives on their separate tasks. NPs, for example, are more likely than doctors to agree that they should have hospital admitting privileges and be compensated equally for performing the same clinical services.

Two-thirds of physicians feel that doctors deliver better exams and consultations than NPs, whereas three-quarters of NPs disagree (Sarzynski & Barry, 2019). Compared to doctors, NPs are more likely to practice in rural locations and treat Medicaid enrollees and other disadvantaged groups. Furthermore, PAs and NPs frequently function as primary care providers. Moreover, PAs and NPs frequently function as primary care doctors for underprivileged populations. This brings contravention to the scope of care and roles and responsibilities between physician assistants, advanced nurse practitioners, and doctors.
