What is an advanced practice nurse? ✅The advanced practice registered nurse
(APRN) is the most independently functioning nurse. An APRN has advanced education
in pathophysiology, pharmacology, and physical assessment, and certification and
expertise in a specialized area of practice. There are four core roles for the APRN:
clinical nurse specialist (CNS), certified nurse practitioner (CNP), certified nurse midwife
(CNM), and certified RN anesthetist (CRNA).

provide care for patients with complex problems and a more holistic approach than

Who is Florence Nightingale and what did she do? ✅Florence Nightingale believed
that the role of nurses was to help the body recover, and then remain free, from
disease.
In 1860, Florence organized the first school of nursing, the Nightingale Training School
for Nurses, at St. Thomas' Hospital in London.
Nightingale was the first practicing epidemiologist. She used her keen mind and
statistical analysis to show the connection between poor sanitation and diseases like
cholera and dysentery.
Known as the Lady with the Lamp, Nightingale crossed the battlefields of the Crimean
War with her lantern. By improving sanitation in battlefield hospitals, she showed how
effective fresh air, hygiene, and nutrition were in the treatment of wounded soldiers.
The practices she advocated remain a basic part of nursing care in the twenty-first
century.

What happened to nursing in the early twentieth century? ✅Movement toward
scientific, research-based practice and defined body of knowledge;
Nurses assumed expanded and advanced practice roles

Who was Mary Adelaide Nutting? ✅1906: first nursing professor at Columbia
Teacher's College

What year did nursing specializations begin? ✅1920

How will the Affordable Care Act affect healthcare and nursing? ✅The ACA affects
how health care is paid for and delivered. There will be greater emphasis on health
promotion, disease prevention, and illness management in the future. More nursing
services will be in community-based care settings. As a result, more nurses will be
needed to practice in community care centers, schools, and senior centers. This will
require nurses to be better able to assess for resources, identify service gaps, and help
patients adapt so as to be able to safely return to their community.
Skyrocketing health care costs present challenges to the nursing profession, consumer,
and health care delivery system. As a nurse you are responsible for providing patients
with the best-quality care in an efficient and economically sound manner.

What is QSEN? ✅QSEN addresses the challenge to prepare nurses with the
competencies needed to continuously improve the quality of care in their work
environments. The QSEN initiative encompasses the competencies of patient-centered
care, teamwork and collaboration, evidence-based practice, quality improvement,
safety, and informatics

What does QSEN stand for? ✅Quality and Safety Education for Nurses
