Healthcare Policy

Everyone in American today is worried about health care, asking themselves where is the country going? Some people are asking themselves and wondering how health care reformed is going to be reformed. Reading an article on the blog web site (http://healthcarepolicy.fandm.edu/node/27) I find out that religious affiliations are getting involved with politics. They are discussing about health care policies and how it is going to affect people. The Catholic church and protestant are looking forward for a change, but different people have different opinions about health care. Some Americans compare the American health care system with other countries, believing that America is suppose to be number one. America is just average to compare with others, that was a shocking news for most of them. Republicans on the other hand are arguing that health care systems are for everyone not for the government. While democrats are thinking about saving money and give insurance to everyone, equal opportunity to every citizen. I personally did not think that it is possible, I believe that one should work hard to earn a reward. American health care is going down, it is all about money not about people.

Communication

Communication is a process of getting information from one person to another, as a nurse we have to joined with other disciplining groups to achieve or reach to our goals. Lack of good communication will lead to conflict. With good communication, we as ANP (Advanced Nursing Practitioner) can be able to prevent conflict in our day to day activities. Good communication shows the strength of a good leader, which comes with other elements. These elements include negotiation, collaboration and conflict resolution. Communication comes with respect, trust and brings about gentle ideas. As a nurse, how can we bring good communication in our different areas of nursing?. My mother advice me when I was 10 years old, "Do not do to people what you will not like other people do to you." We should treat our patients with respect, listen to their complaints, be able to establish trust and provide feedback if we can.
