How to become a Certified Nurse Prescriber:

Pharmacists can attain two types of prescribing qualification: independent and supplementary. Independent prescribers, or non-medical independent nurse prescriber (NMPs), are in a position to give patients timely access to medicines and are ideally placed to optimise and individualise treatment. The NMP takes responsibility for the clinical assessment of the patient, including establishing a diagnosis and prescribing the necessary medicines. Supplementary prescribing, on the other hand, is a voluntary partnership between a doctor or dentist and a supplementary prescriber, who can prescribe medicines within an agreed patient-specific clinical management plan with the patient’s agreement

Scope Of  Nursing Practice In UK

The scope of nursing practice is defined as the range of roles, functions, responsibilities, and activities which registered nurses are educated and authorized to perform. The broad scope of nursing practice reflects all of the roles and activities undertaken by registered nurses to address the full range of human experiences and responses to health and illness. This incorporates health promotion, health protection, health maintenance, health restoration, rehabilitation, and palliation. Nursing practice is directed towards the goal of assisting clients to achieve and maintain optimal health in order to maximize the quality of life across the lifespan. A client, referring also to patient and resident, is defined as an individual, a family, a group of individuals, a community, or a population. Nursing practice is accomplished through:

  • Utilization of nursing knowledge through the application of critical thinking, judgment and skill. It is grounded in the principles of nursing, medicine, social and public health sciences and expressed as the art of nursing.
  • Adoption of a holistic approach to care, addressing the biological, psychological, social, and spiritual needs of clients.
  • Promotion of client self-reliance and self-determination by actively involving the client as a partner in all aspects of care.
  • Use of nursing theories to define and organize practice and the nursing process to comprehensively assess, diagnose, plan, implement, evaluate, and document client care.
  • Application of the model of nursing care delivery adopted within the agency or practice setting.
  • Collaboration with other members of the healthcare team and partnering with diverse sectors of the community.
  • Advocating for and/or creating quality healthcare systems, population health, and healthy public policy.

To be responsive to the evolving health-related needs of the public, the boundaries of the scope of nursing practice must be flexible. Nursing practice takes place in the context of continuing change and development resulting from advances in research and technology,  the introduction of new approaches to care delivery, and a more prominent assortment of experts sharing more zones of regular capacity. The dynamic nature of the healthcare environment requires that nurses respond to client’s needs by continually expanding their knowledge and skills and making judgments about the limits of their practice

How to become a certified Practice Nurse:

The level of training required to become a Nurse depends on the type of nursing certification one is pursuing.

Becoming a certified Practical Nurse requires the least amount of training. Many community colleges offer practical nursing certificate programs that take three semesters to complete. Students take courses in human anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, psychology, and the practice of nursing, and gain clinical experience in hospitals and skilled nursing facilities.

Registered nurses must complete a two- or three-year diploma or associate degree program in nursing. Students in registered nursing programs take many of the same courses that LPN students take plus additional general education and advanced nursing courses. RN students gain clinical experience through their programs as well.

Though most states require RNs to hold just an associate degree, many prospective and practising RNs earn bachelor’s degrees. In the future, a bachelor’s degree may be the standard for RN education, and some employers today prefer or require one. Many schools offer Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) programs. Students in BSN programs gain clinical experience and learn about the human body and nursing practice, but they also develop their critical thinking, decision making, and leadership skills.
