Models of transition are important notions in nursing since they help the nursing professionals cope with the change in different contexts (Buppert, 2011). The following paper will address different aspects of transition models with an objective to make the conclusions regarding their value for facilitating the nursing practice.
My Models of Transition in Nursing
I can see myself reflecting the Bridges and Spencer & Adams models of transition in my professional activity as a nurse in multiple ways. First of all, when I face the legislative change, these models implement to help me undergo the needed changes in my way of thinking. Next, they apply effectively when I need to undergo technological change. Since the technological solutions in nursing develop with the unexampled speed, I need to learn more about using new electronic tools in my activity. The valuable recommendations provided by the two models help me in this area. Besides, when I face the organizational change, I also need help to undergo quality changes in my way of thinking to overcome the existing prejudice and reach the new horizons (Buppert, 2011).
My Roles in the Nursing Profession
As a nursing professional, I have the multiple roles that I assume and face the satisfaction strain among those roles. For instance, I act as the clients direct care provider, family consultant, team leader among the fellow workers, and student who has to continue to engage in the ongoing educational process with the objective to expand my body of professional knowledge and develop the higher level of proficiency. To deal with role stress and ensure success in my role transition as a nursing student, I am using the Role theory based strategy. This strategy helps me shift from the negative emotions related to my educational experience to the positive attitude based on the gratitude and appreciation of the valuable guidelines I acquire in the process of learning (Buppert, 2011).
Comparison of the Family Nurse Practitioner and Family Practice Medical Doctor
Addressing the differences in education, credentialing, role and focus between the family nurse practitioner and the MD, I would focus on the federal and state regulations for the nurse practitioner scope of practice and notice that the U.S. legislation makes provisions for the APNs to enter the primary care legally and fully justifiably just like it is the case with the MDs (Villegas, & Allen, 2012). For instance, in Florida, the state with the strictest nurse practitioner practice scope regulations, FNPs function under the strict supervision from physicians. They are not allowed to prescribe controlled substances and sign the death certificates (Mikos, 2011). However, they still can make change for the improvement of the local populations health in a variety of means including (1) manage, care and help in the recovery of patients in order to obtain 100% of the outcomes; (2) working with the patient and family members to educate about the most effective way to maintain health; and (3) working with the community members to ensure disease control and prevention (California Board of Nursing, 2016). Both FNPs and MDs have sufficient knowledge and clinical rotation. It is true that MDs get the more intense training in making diagnosis and prescribing treatment, but when we speak about their practical experience in providing the help and care for patients, FNPs are more skilled and experienced (California Board of Nursing, 2016).
