Developing Cultural Competency In Anesthesia Through Student Registered Nurse Anesthetists, Emma To
Doctoral Nursing Capstone Projects
Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) are the main anesthesia providers in over 70% of rural hospitals providing anesthesia. Each year, over 2,000 student registered nurse anesthetists (SRNAs) graduate and continue as licensed CRNAs. This Doctor of Nurse Practice (DNP) project emphasizes the importance of developing culturally competent providers in anesthesia by promoting early outreach in cultural competence education of SRNAs. Cultural competence is described as possessing characteristics of congruent attitudes, awareness, and conduct that provides and enables effective skills in cross-cultural encounters. Encompassing cultural competency education early in the SRNAs profession may provide valuable lifelong cultural skills that will ...

Post- Graduate Nurse Practitioner Residency Participations: A Phenomenological Inquiry Of Role Transition And Job Retention, Nila Hollis
Nursing Theses and Dissertations
The United States is experiencing a primary care shortage that is expected to worsen. It has been suggested that nurse practitioners (NPs), who are registered nurses with advanced education, are a potential solution to the primary care provider shortage. Many NPs report feeling unprepared for the challenges of primary care. One solution to ensure adequate preparation is the post-graduate NP residency. The purpose of this descriptive phenomenological study is to explore the lived experiences of NPs who participated in a post-graduate residency program and explore their retention in primary care.
Convenience and snowball sampling were used to select NPs for ...

Using An Educational Session To Improve The Knowledge, Confidence, And Beliefs About Psychopharmacology For Behavioral Health Clinicians, Sharon Bennett
Doctor of Nursing Practice
Background: Psychiatric illness is unpredictable, has spasmodic tendencies, and represents one of the most reported types of disabilities in the United States. Behavioral health clinicians are front line respondents and considered a major ally to providers by supporting medication management recommendations and referring new patients for medication management. Basic evidence-based psychopharmacology improves behavioral health clinicians’ knowledge, however, is inadequate in curricula, and many undergraduate and graduate programs lack one dedicated psychopharmacology class. This abbreviated knowledge contributes to inadequate referrals for treatment and poor confidence in supporting the practitioners’ medication recommendations.
Method: This project examined behavioral health clinicians’ knowledge, confidence, and ...
