Up-and-Coming Nurse Niches - Nursing Link

Megan Malugani | Monster Contributing Writer

A nurse is a nurse is a nurse, right? Wrong. Nursing jobs are extraordinarily varied and diverse. Here’s a snapshot of four specialized nursing niches that even healthcare professionals may know little about.

Correctional Nursing

Nurses who work behind bars with the nation’s 2 million inmates and juvenile offenders deal with a range of medical problems, from toothaches to trauma. “A lot of our clients don’t have access to healthcare easily,” says Gayle Burrow, MPH, BSN, director of corrections health for the Multnomah County Health Department in Portland, Oregon. “Correctional nurses like the fact that we get to take care of people who need a lot of services and education.”

Because correctional nurses work autonomously – assessing new inmates, helping manage the chronic diseases and mental illnesses of long-term prisoners and responding to acute illnesses and injuries – they must be confident, mature and well-rounded. In addition, they “must have the ability to look at a person not by what they do, but for who they are,” says Burrow, a certified corrections health professional who is on the board of the American Correctional Health Services Association.

Reflections of an Orthopedic Nurse, Laurie Styrcula, RN, MA, Nursingspectrum.com:"As I pushed my lunch tray along the counter in the hospital cafeteria, I sensed someone watching me. I looked to my left and noticed a nurse scanning my name tag. “You must be a special kind of nurse,” she said. She smiled at me and added, “I could never take care of dying patients.” I looked down at my name tag to see what she was referring to. In bold letters was printed “Laurie Styrcula, RN, MA, ONC.” I returned her smile with a quiet sigh and tried not to sound rehearsed, even though it seemed as if I’d repeated these words at least a dozen times: “You have me mistaken for an oncology nurse. The ONC on my name badge stands for orthopedic nurse certified. I believe oncology nurses are OCN.”

ACT - Association of Christian Therapists - Specialty Groups: Nursing

Our vocation of Nursing leads us to share in some of the most beautiful and profound mysteries of life. We join all nurses in their efforts to bring safe, competent and compassionate care to our patients. We thank you for the many contributions to Nursing.

There are many wonderful Nursing Organizations with dedicated leaders; each has something special to offer its members. Ours is no exception.

We stress spiritual development and its integration in our daily and professional life. Our daily prayer life is as important as our knowledge base in meeting the needs of our patients. Nothing can replace these moments of grace.

Nursing credentials and certifications - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  (Redirected from List of nursing credentials)
Jump to: navigation, search

[edit] Postnominal nursing credential usage

A nurse's postnominal (listed after the name) credentials usually follow his or her name in this order:

  • Highest earned academic degree in or related to nursing (e.g. "MSN")
  • Nursing licensure (e.g. "RN")
  • Nursing certification (e.g. "CCRN")

Generally credentials are listed from most to least permanent. A degree, once earned, cannot, in normal circumstances, be taken away. State licensure is only revoked for serious professional misconduct. Certifications generally must be periodically renewed by examination or the completion of a prescribed number of continuing education units (CEUs).

Nurses may also hold non-nursing credentials including academic degrees. These are usually omitted unless they are related to the nurse's job. For instance, a staff nurse would likely not list an MBA, but a nurse manager might choose to do so.

Nursing credentials are separated from the person's name (and from each other) with commas. There are usually no periods within the credentials. (e.g. "BSN" not "B.S.N.")

[edit] Nursing certifications

In the United States and Canada, many nurses who choose a specialty become certified in that area, signifying that they possess expert knowledge. There are over 200 nursing specialties and subspecialties. Studies from the Institute of Medicine have demonstrated that specialty-certified nurses have higher rates of patient satisfaction, as well as lower rates of work-related errors in patient care.

Registered nurses (RNs) are not required to be certified in a certain specialty by law. For example, it is not necessary to be a Certified Medical-Surgical Registered Nurse (CMSRN) (a medical surgical nursing certification) to work on a Medical-Surgical (MedSurg) floor, and most MedSurg nurses are not CMSRNs. Certifications do, however, instill professionalism and make the nurse more attractive to prospective and current employers. Certified nurses also sometimes earn a salary differential over their non-certified colleagues.

Some hospitals and other health care facilities are willing to pay a certified nurse extra when he works within his specialty. Also, some hospitals may require certain nurses, such as nursing supervisors or lead nurses, be certified. Certification instills confidence in the nurses. Magnet hospitals advocate certifications.

Nurses For Newborns Foundation

Nurses for Newborns Foundation exists to provide a safety net for families most at-risk in order to prevent infant mortality, child abuse and neglect by providing in-home nursing visits which promote healthcare, education, and positive parenting skills.

Nurses for Newborns Foundation provides services to babies who are born with medical problems, born to teen moms or born to mothers with disabilities/mental health concerns, or who are born into families who do not have money for even basic necessities.

In addition to medical care, we assist families whenever possible with donated materials needed for safe care, such as diapers, formula, baby food, clothing, bedding, and cribs. We welcome hundreds of volunteers each year who help us manage the logistics of this work.
