Practice<br />
A professional practice model is the overarching<br />
conceptual framework for nurses, nursing care and<br />
interdisciplinary relationships. It is a schematic<br />
description of a system or theory that depicts how<br />
nurses practice, collaborate, communicate and<br />
develop professionally to provide the highest quality<br />
of care for those served by the organization.<br />
Candace Jennings, senior VP, CEO, and Pat Niday,<br />
VP, CNO, as part of their roles and responsibilities,<br />
are to ensure that adequate resources for consultation<br />
and access to nursing experts are available to all levels<br />
of nurses in the organization. Whenever the need<br />
for this resource arises, filling that need is discussed<br />
at various council meetings with the stakeholders<br />
involved. The discussion also includes identification<br />
and availability of the individual who is best suited<br />
for the task required. The clinical resource nurses<br />
and clinical educators are an asset to Johnson City<br />
Medical Center. Nurses in this capacity work various<br />
shifts, helping with classroom instruction as well<br />
as bedside demonstration, providing guidance and<br />
support to the front-line nursing team.<br />
National <strong>Nursing</strong> Conference Involvement<br />
Poster abstracts and podium presentations at national<br />
nursing conferences are rewarding both to the nurse<br />
presenting and the conference attendees. Applying<br />
to present a poster or podium presentation is very<br />
competitive. Some national conferences receive up<br />
to 1,600 poster abstract or podium presentation<br />
submissions from nurses all over the country. It<br />
is believed and supported by our nursing leaders<br />
that nurses at all levels grow professionally through<br />
attending local and national conferences. National<br />
conferences serve as meeting places for nurses all<br />
over the country to network, provide support and<br />
guidance, and to experience “like” opportunities for<br />
improvements or celebrations. The following list<br />
includes our nurses who have presented at national<br />
conferences:<br />
