    INTRODUCTION: “Pain” sudden or chronic, lasting from a few hours to a few days; from a few weeks to a few months evolving from an adhesive substance in red blood cells. The “Pain” is inherited by an retriction blood flow through the body do to an abnormality in the cells. “Sickle Cell Anemia” a chronic illness discovered in 1910 by an American physician named James Bryan Herrick. Sickle Cell is more that just pain; it is a disease that is affected by abnormal blood cells that has an adhesive formation causing the natural flow to be compromised. As a result, these abnormal cells become fixed in the blood stream and not flowing to major body organs causing extreme pain and even a stroke. Why is this process painful? Have sickle cell patient become tolerant to pain or is it because some of them handle self-care management? For many years there has been a link between Sickle Cell Anemia and Pain caused by the stickiness of the blood cells. When this occurs, it decreases normal blood flow to the major organs causing strokes.(citation ). Sickle cell anemia is most common in people whose families come from Africa, South or Central America (especially Panama), Caribbean islands, Mediterranean countries (such as Turkey, Greece, and Italy), India, and Saudi Arabia. In the United States, it's estimated that sickle cell anemia affects 70,000–100,000 people, mainly African Americans. The disease occurs in about 1 out of every 500 African American births. Sickle cell anemia also affects Hispanic Americans. The disease occurs in more than 1 out of every 36,000 Hispanic American births (Citation).More than 2 million Americans have sickle cell trait. The condition occurs in about 1 in 12 African Americans. In people with sickle cell disease, approximately 50% do not survive beyond age 20 years, and most people do not live past 50 years of age (Citation)…

    The AACN Preferred Vision of the Professoriate in Baccalaureate and Graduate Nursing Programs (2008) states that “courses in the nursing program will be taught by faculty with graduate-level academic preparation and advanced expertise in the areas of content they teach.” There is national recognition, however, of the growing shortage of nursing educators to fill faculty and other educator roles within the healthcare delivery system. Master’s programs that prepare graduates for nurse educator roles are designed to meet these needs. Nurses with a master’s degree may teach patients and their families and/or student nurses, staff nurses, and a variety of direct-care providers. As outlined in Essential IX, all master’s-prepared nurses will develop competence in applying teaching/learning principles in work with patients and/or students across the continuum of care in a variety of settings. However, as recommended in the Carnegie Foundation report (2009), Educating Nurses: A Call for Radical Transformation, those individuals who choose a nurse educator role, as do all master’s graduates, require preparation across all nine Essential areas, including graduate-level clinical practice content and experiences in an area of nursing practice.…

Others want to network or enjoy the peer recognition that comes from being an active member of a major organization. Nurses may join a general organization, such as the American Nurses Association, a specialty group, such as the Emergency Nurses Association, or a state nursing association-or one of each. Let's take a look at some of the advantages of joining a professional nursing organization.…

    Patients with diabetes need to understand what diabetes is. Patients who understand what diabetes is and the complicated process associated with the disease are more likely to comply with the prescribed regimen. Diabetes Mellitus is a syndrome with disordered metabolism and inappropriate hyperglycemia due to either a deficiency of insulin secretion or to a combination of insulin resistance and inadequate insulin secretion to compensate (Davis, 2001). Diabetes is a chronic progressive disease that requires lifestyle changes, especially in the areas of nutrition and physical activity. The overall goal of medical and nutritional therapy is to assist persons with diabetes in making self-directed behavioral changes that will improve their overall health (Franz, 2012). Blood glucose monitoring and goals of blood glucose monitoring…
