While we wrap up National NP Week (Nov. 11-17), which celebrates the important role these health care professionals play every day of the year, we thought it would be fun to shine the spotlight on one specific advanced practice nurse: the Family Nurse Practitioner.

Family nurse practitioners (FNPs) are registered nurses who have completed a specialized graduate program that allows them to provide a blend of primary care and nursing services to individual patients and families. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the duties of family nurse practitioners include patient assessment, diagnosis, and treatment.

To support these duties, family nurse practitioners can order and perform diagnostic tests, such as X-rays and lab work. They can also prescribe medication. FNPs currently serve as primary health care providers for millions of patients, especially in areas that are experiencing shortages in primary physicians.

The American Academy of Nurse Practitioners reports that there are currently about 155,000 nurse practitioners across the nation; nearly half of these NPs are family nurse practitioners. FNPs may work independently or as members of health care teams. They practice in a wide range of settings, including private practices, hospitals, long-term care facilities, community clinics, schools, correctional facilities, veterans' facilities, HMOs, and urgent care centers.

In addition to diagnosing and treating illnesses, many FNPs focus on disease prevention and the promotion of healthy living. Their advanced education and clinical expertise allow them to provide holistic solutions for family health care.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook forecasts that employment for registered nurses will increase by 26 percent between 2010 and 2020. This is faster than the projected increase for all other occupations. Family nurse practitioners will be in especially high demand because they are able to assume many of the duties typically performed by physicians.

By providing patient-centered primary care that is both high quality and cost-effective, FNPs are playing an increasing important role in the changing landscape of national health care.

Professional development is an important part of every health care professional’s career. It can only help you to be aware of new technologies and new schools of thought that may soon impact your day-to-day job functions.

Conferences and leadership summits are a great way to pack a lot of information into a short amount of time. Outside of the educational value, they also allow you to network and trade ideas with fellow colleagues and thought leaders.

The following is a list of conferences that are sure to challenge and inspire you:

AACN Organizational Leadership Network Fall Meeting (Oct. 28-30, 2012): Held in Washington, D.C., the theme of this year’s meeting is “Taking Advantage of Technology in Nursing Higher Education.” Highlights include: learning how technology is influencing patient care and what educators must know about the changing landscape, exploring innovations and challenges in online teaching and learning, and identifying ways schools can be more effective, simulation in nursing education and much more. For more information, visit http://www.aacn.nche.edu/events/2012/10/26/oln.

ANA 7th annual Nursing Quality Conference (Feb. 6-8, 2013): Held in Atlanta, Georgia, the Nursing Quality Conference brings together nursing and health care professionals from around the world who have a passion for improving nursing quality. Almost 1,900 hospitals will be participating in the event, giving attendees the opportunity to learn about the latest research related to addressing organizational performance to improve patient outcomes. This year’s keynote speaker is country music icon and former registered nurse, Naomi Judd. For more information, visit nqc2013.cistems.net.

19th annual Wharton Health Care Business Conference (Feb. 14-15, 2013): Held in Philadelphia, the theme of this year’s event is “Reshaping Health Care: Emerging Trends Changing the Face of Our Industry.” Previous year’s speakers include the president and CEO of Biotechnology Industry Organization, the president and CEO of Geisinger Health System and the former CEO of Bausch and Lomb. For more information, visit www.whcbc.org.

TEDMED (April 16-19, 2013): Held in Washington, D.C., TEDMED is billed as a “community of people who are passionate about imagining the future of health and medicine.” Void of an agenda or policy prescriptions, it’s a “safe place” where people with different ideas come together to talk and learn. Previous speakers have included the director of the National Institutes of Health, the president and CEO of the American Red Cross, the chief medical officer of the American Cancer Society, singer-songwriters and the vice president of HBO Documentary Films.

Here is a review from our customer SCraig in Walnut Creek, CA:

Awesome Value & Fit!

I absolutely LOVE this top! I can't say it enough--the cut is very flattering. I am a size 16/18, so sometimes these styles can look like maternity tops on, but this one does NOT--it is very flattering, and I am very comfortable in it. I bought the XL, and it is perfect size-wise. Shrunk very little. I love the pockets and the empire waist. I will be buying several more in different colors. Couldn't ask for a better price, either! Way to go, Dickies!

Each year I volunteer at a fundraiser put on by Payton's Race for a Cure. Since the first race 4 years ago, I have helped this non-profit develop a website, a social presence and I have also joined as a member of the board of directors, and I have loved every minute of it!

Our mission is to support advocacy, awareness and ultimately a cure for Mitochondrial Disease.  We do this through a unique fundraising event that includes dirt bike/quad practices, raffles, concessions and family oriented activities such as kid’s games, bounce houses, face painting and much more!

You may or may not be familiar with a Mitochondrial Disease, in my experience when I mention it the first question I am asked is "What exactly is Mitochondrial Disease?". The simplest way for me to explain it is by using a battery as an example. A new, fully charge battery gives energy for cameras, radios and clocks - which in turn gives out pictures, music and time keeping. Good, healthy mitochondria are the power source for every cell in your body. Your brain, organs and muscles rely on the energy generated by the mitochondria in order to function. An old battery is not able to give out the needed amount of energy for these things to function properly. Well unhealthy or damaged mitochondria can cause children to have difficulty making their bodies work as needed. Some children cannot digest foods, move their legs or have the energy to even simply get out of bed in the morning. They may also have seizures and profound muscle weakness as well as fatigue, seizures, gastrointestinal dysfunction, developmental delay, vision/hearing loss, and unexplained organ failure. Mitochondrial dysfunction has been related to other diseases including autism, diabetes, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. Today there is no cure for Mitochondrial Disease. Treatment is focused on energy conservation and vitamin therapy.

Tomorrow. July 21, 2012, the 4th annual Payton’s Race for a Cure event will take place.  We are very pleased to announce that we were able to raise a combined $25,000.00 in years previous, donating all proceeds to the Mitochondrial Community through MitoAction and the UMDF (United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation)!

*MitoAction's mission is to improve quality of life for all who are affected by mitochondrial disorders through support, education and advocacy initiatives.

*UMDF's mission is to promote research and education for the diagnosis, treatment and cure of mitochondrial disorders and to provide support to affected individuals and families.

So if you are in the area, please join us! There are other ways to join us in our mission as well:

Wink Mink Fashion V-Neck Scrub Top

This is one of the best scrub tops your money can buy - soft, durable, high-quality fabric, figure-flattering design, and comfortable, practical functionality with multiple deep pockets. It's brains and beauty in one.

Like many other people, I am addicted to watching television! I have always had a huge interest in shows like Grey’s Anatomy, Boston Practice, House, and Scrubs. They are so intense and I feel like I might learn something while I watch them. Sometimes after watching House I think back to a time when I may have had a symptom his patient did and I being to wonder…. I don’t think I am the only one who has done this, at least I hope not :) and it is probably pretty frustrating for Medical staff to hear self diagnosing due an episode on television.
 
I’ve been a fan of these medical dramas for quite a long time and sometimes wonder what, if anything is close to reality. Of course when they open up someone’s chest there is often hardly any blood, they use the most random objects to replace needed equipment and seem to have all of these off the wall things happen on a daily basis, of course all of this makes for great T.V.! Just a couple weeks ago Grey’s Anatomy had two people that were mauled by a pet lion, there was hardly any blood and the wounds were practically healed before they had even had a chance to work on them.
 
Don’t get me wrong I still love watching these shows but I wonder how many of you like them as well. How much of what happens in these shows is close to reality? I would love to hear from medical professionals about this!
