Abstract
This paper aims to explore the issue of gender ideology in nursing, and its problems in the medical profession as A. Etzioni described it in 1969, the others being teaching and social work. The idea is that the gender politics that still dominate this predominantly female line of work have hindered the development of nursing which continues to lack power as an occupation.

Analysis of the Medical and Nursing Professions., 2002.

Abstract
This is an analysis of medical and nursing professions and how they differ. Nurses are separate from doctors in power. Some doctors regard nurses as their servants. When certain doctors drop a pen, they expect the nurse to pick it up. One reason is that doctors usually are men while nurses are women. Another reason is that doctors often see only themselves as being professional. The way the system works leads to that sort of thinking.

Abstract
This paper discusses how only about five percent of all registered nurses in the United States are men. Gender is not an issue by itself, but power issues combine with nursing in a much stronger way than in most professions. The paper goes on to discuss how power is very basically defined in the dictionary as the ability to act or do. On the other hand, there is "the public's stereotype of a nurse: white cap, unquestioningly following doctors' orders - and female".

From the Paper
"This research examines gender diversity in the nursing workplace. The plan of the research will be to set forth the context in which diversity has arisen as a salient feature of the nursing profession and principles of nursing practice that are relevant to the issue, and then to discuss ways in which diversity of the nursing work force--in particular gender diversity--has an impact on the substance and form of nursing practice, with a view toward forecasting possible lines of professional development.
At a time when patient access to institutional health care may be limited by the protocols of managed care, adherence to physicians' instructions, which are often mediated by nurses, are essential. Yet according to the American Nurses Foundation, minorities account for more than 27% of the American minority..."

Click here to show/hide summary
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."

As a result, healthcare providers have been forced to be innovative in the way that they attract nurses to their institutions and recruiting efforts..."

Abstract
This paper describes the role of the nursing profession in the prevention of medication-related errors in any hospital. The author provides an account of the procedures in place and concludes with the statement that although internal challenges exist, the external challenges can be remedied, albeit slowly.
From the Paper
"Apart from administering medications, they are responsible for the preparation, labeling, and identification of the patient to whom it is given. With regard to this a mnemonic to aid in making sure errors do not occur in medication administration has been created based on six rights: right patient, right medication, right amount, right route, right time and right charting. Firstly, the correct person must be paired with the correct medication. The medication in turn, must be of the correct effective dose to produce a therapeutic effect; underdosing is evidently ineffective in producing any type of change in clinical course whereas overdosing may have an impact on one or more organ systems that benefit or are harmed by its presence, or clear it from the body. The correct route of delivery must also be determined, as this may affect a drug's effectiveness, particularly in the case of oral medications as they are metabolized and rendered chemically inert by the liver in the case of most drugs. The right timing of a drug must also be followed, as therapeutic levels of a drug within the body must be maintained for a given period of time to have the desired effect in vivo. Proper acknowledgment of a medication order by the physician must be documented. In the same light, documentation of administration of the drug must be carried out in a patient's chart. With the advent of technology that bypasses paper chart orders such as through the telephone or computer, documentation must still be carried out without fail."

Registered Nurse vs. Nurse Practitioner, 2008.
A research paper exploring the process of transferring from a status of registered nurse to nurse practitioner.
2,825 words (approx. 11.3 pages), 10 sources, APA, £ 58.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
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.
Outline:
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."

Abstract
This paper shows the difference that agriculturists, sedentary lifestyles, and social differentiation made in gender relationships.
From the Paper
"The first evidence of agriculturists, sedentary lifestyles, and social differentiation that archaeologists and anthropologists have distinguished come from groups termed Horticulturists. Though the past record remains relatively scant in regards, anthropologists have used existing ones as a locus of study and interpretation. More numerous than surviving hunter-gatherer groups, horticultural societies also show an incredible range of gender diversity between groups, more numerous, in fact, than any other extent societal model. The quantity of studies that has come as a result of this are astounding. Those done in the area of New Guinea alone, home to at least two hundred different horticultural societies, provide ample evidence to add weight to the debate of nurture over nature, by sheer examples of the differences in living and understanding gender roles in such a relatively small and homogenous environmental area.

Abstract
This six-page undergraduate paper discusses gender from anthropological perspective and finds out how transsexuals are treated in different societies of the world. While males and female may fight each other over who is stronger, they are the fortunate ones for they belong to two accepted genders but for transsexuals adjusting to the norms of restrictive societies may not be easy as they are not considered a part of the social fabric in many cultures of the world.
