Process Of Nursing

The nursing process is a cyclical and ongoing process that can end at any stage if the problem is solved. The nursing process exists for every problem that the patient has, and for every element of patient care, rather than once for each patient. The nurse's evaluation of care will lead to changes in the implementation of the care and the patient's needs are likely to change during their stay in hospital as their health either improves or deteriorates. The nursing process not only focuses on ways to improve the patient's physical needs, but also on social and emotional needs as well.

• Cyclic and dynamic
• Goal directed and client centered
• Interpersonal and collaborative
• Universally applicable
• Systematic

The nursing process is not something foreign or unusually complex. On the contrary, we use the nursing process method on a daily basis without even realizing it. For example, a trip to the gas station to get fuel requires assessing the various prices and the number of people waiting to get gas among other things. A subsequent decision, or Diagnosis, is made based on the former criteria. This may include pulling into the gas station to fuel up or going down the road for better prices and/or less of a crowd. The price is right and there's not much of a crowd, we're pulling in. Now the Planning can take place. This may include which pump to use, how much gas to put in the tank, whether or not to clean the windows along with other things. We're at the pump and ready to fuel up. We must now implement what we planned prior to pulling up to the pump. We've pulled up on the passenger side because the gas tank resides on this side, part of our plan. We've also given ourselves enough room to exit without getting blocked in by another vehicle, part of our plan also. We now unscrew the gas cap and begin fueling or Implementing what we planned. Things went well. We are fueled up and have exited the gas station without complication. Our Evaluation of the trip to the gas station would be a good one. We may choose to use this method in the future. The Nursing process is that simple in theory. However, as a nurse, the nursing process tool will be used for more complex and difficult situations but is applied the same way as the gas station analogy.

Radio Advertising

Some advertising people referred radio as a ”Cinderella medium.” It can be spectacularly successful if everything clicks—the right offer, the right message, the right copy, and the right stations. Or radio spots can fall on deaf ears.

Radio ads require repetition to work. A minimum run of at least fifteen ads on one station during a one-week period is recommended. Furthermore, if your entire advertising run on a particular station will be less than sixty spots during a month, try to keep the ads within a particular time slot. This way you will reach the same listening audience during each spot or often enough to create an awareness and ideally a desire to buy or inquire about your product or service. If your spots run on an erratic schedule, you might reach the full listener ship of the station but you won’t be reaching any one group of individuals often enough to motivate them to take action.

A great way to zero in on the same people and have added impact is to buy a sponsorship of a daily feature, such as news or sports broadcast. A sponsorship guarantees your ad will run at a particular time and typically affords you a brief “sponsored by” message in addition to your ad spot.

Shortcuts for employee recruitment

Recruiting and selecting the employees can be a drawn out, painful process in the business. To cut down the stress of interviewing thousands of candidates and the selection of right and the suitable employees, there are some shortcuts listed below.

Connect with your local college or training institutes: Instructors of various business-related programs could be invaluable shortcuts to finding good employees. Get to know about the candidates you need to call the instructor of the relevant course or program, introducing yourself, explaining what you need, and asking for recommendations.

Connect with your local college or university’s cooperative training program: Cooperative programs are always looking for employers to provide suitable job placements. You get an employee with current skills and while it’s a temporary staffing solution, you may be able to hire the person as a full-time employee when he or she has completed the program.

Hire through a government program: You’ll find more employment programs listed in my Small Business Grants library. The downside of these programs is the time spent leaping through hoops, such as filling out application forms; the upside is the considerable cost savings.

Hire a student: If you can get by without having a permanent employee fill the job, the various hire-a-student programs available can be a great staffing solution. Watch your local papers or visit the sites.

Use employment agencies or consultancies: Employment agencies can be the most direct route to finding and hiring the employees you need. A good employment agency will take care of all the recruiting and preliminary weeding of applicants for you, sending you only a few qualified applicants to choose from.

Use if Internet: There are many “job board” sites on the ‘Net where you can place a job listing or search for employees. Using job sites can help you get your job posting before a national (and international) audience of job seekers at a low monetary cost. You will have to spend some time

By word of mouth out on the street: Last but never least is to try using word-of-mouth and/or referrals to find employees. Tell all your contacts (both business and personal) about the position you’re seeking to fill and what kind of employee you’re looking for.

Cut down on the time it takes to find the employees you’re looking for and increase the success of your recruitment process by taking one (or more) of these hiring shortcuts.
