Abstract
This paper discusses how the Nursing Staffing Standards for Patient Safety and Quality Care Act of 2005 bill should not be supported for two reasons. The paper lists these reasons as: it does not directly address the nursing work force shortage as it ought and it does not address the deeper issue of personal satisfaction with nursing as a career. Although the latter may not be as easily addressed the former is. As the paper points out in the section regarding preventable causes of injury or death were and still are attributable to the direct care nursing work force shortage.
From the Paper
"H.R. 1222, also known as The Nursing Staffing Standards for Patient Safety and Quality Care Act of 2005, was primarily enacted "to amend the Public Health Service Act to establish direct care registered nurse-to-patient staffing ratio requirements in hospitals (U.S. Congress, 2005, preamble)." The bill was enacted by both the Senate and House of Representatives on March 10, 2005 and primarily sponsored by Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL). The primary thrust of the bill was to limit the nurse to patient ratio in different units."

Abstract
This paper explains that, on August 22, 1996, President Clinton signed into law "The Personal Responsibility an Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (P.L. 104-193), which has been described as a comprehensive, bipartisan welfare reform plan that dramatically changed the nation's welfare system into one requiring work in exchange for time-limited assistance. The author points out that President Clinton had previously vetoed welfare reform bill (H.R.4) submitted by Congress because it did too little to move people into jobs and failed to provide supports, such as child care and health care, that families need to move from welfare to work. The paper contains a detailed chronograph of the passage of the bill through the House and the Senate and examples of correspondence to encourage congressmen to support the bill.
From the Paper
"President Clinton stated that the new law required several improvements. Specifically, he wanted to fix two provisions of the welfare bill which he believed had nothing to do with welfare reform-Food Stamps and Legal Immigrants. According to the President, the new law cut deeper than it should in Food Stamps. The law includes provisions that would deny most forms of public assistance to most legal immigrants for five years or until they attain citizenship. The President has said that legal immigrants who fall on hard times through no fault of their own and need help should get it, although their sponsors should take additional responsibility for them."

Abstract
This paper looks at nursing and obstetrical nursing and investigates what agencies police and design the curricula for these fields. The State Boards of Nursing and the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission are examined and the policies and standards that they set are discussed as well as the required curriculum content and development they oversee. Their impact upon curriculum development and revision is also reviewed.
From the Paper
"In the arena of nursing, there are so many specialties, so many fields, so many types of nurses, that there must be governing and regulatory bodies. Without such organizations that regulate and control nursing and nursing education programs, there would not be a singular and uniform set of expectations for this nation's nursing professionals. The two organizations that will be discussed in regard to how they influence the regulation of nursing, and more specifically how they could influence obstetrical nursing, are the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) and the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC). The first of the two governing agencies that this paper will discuss and investigate is the NCSBN."

Abstract
The paper defines and describes the duties, obligations and educational abilities of both a registered nurse and nurse practitioner in order to determine the motivations of nurses to transfer positions. The paper provides a literature review and concludes that a more in-depth analysis is necessary to truly assess a nurse's motivation for expressing interest in transferring to the role of nurse practitioner. The paper also shows the need for more studies on whether such a transfer will bring greater job satisfaction and motivation than if the nurse were to remain as a registered nurse.

Introduction
Literature Review
Strengths & Weaknesses of the Concept
Discussions & Summary Conclusions
From the Paper
"At present, there is a national crisis within the nursing industry. More and more, people are interested in becoming nurses. Nurses work in many capacities in clinics, community centers, hospitals and in private practice. However for some, there is no clear distinction between an R.N. and a Nurse Practitioner. Further, there is little data exploring the mechanisms through which a nurse may decide to pursue an advancing career, and what support if any he or she may receive in doing so. The purpose of this paper is to clarify the roles of these two positions, and assess which is most needed given the status of the nursing and healthcare industry in the United States today."

From the Paper
"Two recent novels--Dogeaters by Jessica Hagedorn and Rolling the R's by R. Zamora Linmark--illuminate different aspects of the Filipino experience, the first set in Manila and so in the Filipino homeland, the second in Hawaii and so a reflection of the immigrant experience in America. Both works reflect the difficulty faced in the conflict between the old culture and the new. In both books, the older generation is tied to the culture of the Philippines while the younger generation is seduced by American popular culture. In Dogeaters, this conflict takes place in the Philippines as the powerhouse of American popular culture beckons to the young. In Rolling the R's, the conflict takes place in Hawaii as people who have immigrated form the Philippines are exposed even more directly to American life and culture. The themes of class conflicts, assimilation, and the.."

Every Nurse Controls the Image of Nursing, 2008.

Abstract
This paper discusses the changing role of nurses. The paper asserts that while every nurse controls the image of nursing, the demands of the times change what constitutes, and what will constitute nursing. Furthermore, the paper states that the nursing profession is undergoing transitions both within and without that profoundly impact it's public image as providing care to those in need. The author states that whereas technology can provide more and more timely cures, nurses are still typecast into a caring role, which may be less of a priority in the global scene that merely looks at health care as a service-oriented body repair shop.
From the Paper
"As often is the case, internal and external change can have unpredictable effects on the components of the profession, not only as a whole. For instance, the broadening of the different roles a nurse can pursue has only happened in the latter quarter of the previous century in response to the expanding demand for them. There is an inherent advantage in specializing and giving students advancement options, even the option to independently practice is currently available. However, with the lack of time to develop these different tracks into distinct, autonomous, regulatory professional entities, this leaves the impression on the public that the nursing profession's demand-driven schism is a warning sign that health care is slowly becoming service-oriented rather than patient-oriented. Presently, it is difficult to distinguish nursing roles such as the nurse practitioner apart from the roles of other professionals such as physicians. Such increasing overlap in responsibilities, knowledge, patient treatment and management must be assessed and acted upon in order to ultimately establish a change in the public's perspective on nursing as a whole."

Abstract
In this essay, the writer notes that the empowerment of nursing is a role or function that can only be addressed by deconstructing the daily lives of nurses. The writer points out that the relationship between nurse and client is a front line relationship - the nurse is the primary care giver and the first medical person the client sees. The writer reviews different articles that take the profession of nursing and show how the need for interdependent relationships between nurse and nurse and nurse and client are imperative to attaining empowerment and powerful relationships. The writer maintains that education is the key to empowerment and building powerful relationships, as the more well-rounded a nurse is the better the nurse-client relationship and the nurse-nurse relationship. The writer concludes that the interdependent relationship of the nurse needing the patient and the patient needing the nurse is fundamental in the industry.
Outline:
Introduction
Article Analysis
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The article concludes that patient advocacy is a major issue in current nursing situations. More and more nursing are finding power in stepping forward in what they consider to be the best interest of the patient - sometimes this is just making sure that the patient's wishes are being listened to and respected by the medical staff. The authors believe that true patient advocacy can only be realized when al 3 attributes listed above is present. Empowerment, power and powerlessness are the crux of nurse-patient relationships. The interdependent relationship between the three creates a shared balance of power between client and nurse and nurse and other medical staff."

Abstract
The paper discusses how modern nursing legislation has been proposed to Congress that would address serious concerns in the nursing profession. These concerns have a direct affect on every individual that utilizes health care today. The paper further discusses how Clark and Clark contend that nurses in the twenty-first century are commonly having to work extended overtime hours to meet the nursing shortage, as well as contend with low wages, and insufficient working conditions. The paper describes how, because nurses are forced into positions of care that can result in medical errors to patients, many nurses are therefore leaving the profession. The paper analyzes how the Quality of Nursing Care Act of 2004, and the Safe Nursing and Patient Care Act of 2005 were introduced as legislation in the United States Congress to address these issues.
