Write a 1000 word essay describing and analyzing the professional attributes and scope of practice that is required by a registered nurse working in your specialty placement. A specialty registered nurse may include a registered nurse working on a variety of wards or units such as hematology, renal, orthopedics, aged care, mental health, emergency, pediatrics, midwifery or intensive care.
The purpose of this assessment is for you to identify the extended knowledge and skills demonstrated by the specialty registered nurse during your clinical placement.
This assessment is to be constructed with an introduction (a good one), body and conclusion(a good one). You are required to consult current nursing literature and professional specialty competencies. Reference your work using APA style referencing.
****Please note:
(I did my placement in PERI-OPtheatre(1 week) and Post-Op /recovery unit(2 weeks) . So the Specialty for me is Peri Op (Theatre and Post Op -recovery unit after surgury). You can choose to focus on the Post Op/recovery area. But please note and include in your introduction whatever you decide whether Peri-Op (which will cover theatre and recovery/post-Op ) or just Post-Op/recovery.
Please note and include intext citations where applicable(very important).
Some suggested references(As much as you can please use mostly Australia Authors and evidence based research):
