Introduction to Nursing

Part 1

I decided to read up on the Florida Nursing Practice Act. When discussing the kind of nurse who must have a license in the state of Florida, either “professional nurse” or “registered nurse” may be used interchangeably. I’m interested in learning more about the practice of task delegation in the nursing profession. Nurses may delegate tasks to CNAs when they need help with patient care. It is the responsibility of the nurse to ensure that the CNA has the necessary education and experience to do the specified task. The nurse is still responsible for the CNA’s performance if the CNA is working under the nurse’s direct supervision. The CNA will only be given tasks by the nurse if they satisfy certain criteria. Desirable circumstances include those that are consistent with the patient’s usual routine, have an expected outcome, and pose little danger to the patient’s health and safety (Florida nurse practice act laws and Rules).

 

The American Nurses Association (ANA), which advocates for nurses and works to improve their working conditions and other problems, might be consulted for this study (American Nurses Association). CNAs should not have to rely only on nurses; hence, I propose that the Delegation of Responsibilities Act be revised to make this clear. The American Nurses Association is a potential forum for raising and addressing concerns about the state of the nursing profession’s workplace.

 

It is essential that nurses recognize and respect their limits as professionals. It’s customary to have many commitments at once, and it’s not unusual for those commitments to extend into other aspects of our lives. Nurses, to provide the best care possible within the bounds of their license, need to be aware of those constraints.

The nurse practice act is a guide you should know and follow for the state in which you will be a nurse. I plan to practice nursing in North Dakota and, one day, Arizona. The nurse practice act has a plethora of information, and I chose to focus on emergency treatment by nurses.

To begin, the nursing practice act is different for each state. North Dakotas nurse practice act includes broad information on emergency nursing care. When a medical emergency occurs outside a medical facility, people always ask for a nurse or doctor. According to Nurses practice act (n.d.), a nurse licensed under this chapter, who, in good faith, provides nursing care at the scene of an emergency, may provide only that nursing care as in the nurse’s judgment at the time indicated. This is good for me to know that going into the nursing world if something happens, I can help someone. This could be a scary situation for some nurses to be part of. Thankfully if a nurse renders care in North Dakota, there is the good Samaritan act. According to the Good Samaritan Act (n.d.), A health care provider licensed under title 43 who renders medical care voluntarily at a free clinic is not liable in any personal injury civil action for acts or omissions resulting in the rendering of that care unless it is plainly alleged in the complaint and later proven that the health care provider’s acts or omissions constituted intentional misconduct or gross negligence. This act reassures nurses that they will not be liable if they render proper care.
