Discussion1 According to “The Nursing Shortage” (2013) , The
problem is not having enough nurses in health care field to provide quality
care to our patients. Not having enough nurses lead to many problems and bad
patient care outcome. Few examples includes Quality care which has to be
majorly affected due to the shortage, patients health is affected badly by poor
health care which is again possible due to the lack of nurses or in the
situation of an overworked nurses. The cause and effect is widespread
across the board but includes, high-demand stressful work days with little
value placed on their abilities to perform as a nurse. The staff to patient
ratio is generally pushed to the brink which leads to overworked, often
unhealthy and frustrated employees. A tired person can never be able to provide
efficient care to patients. The causes of the nursing shortage is due to
inadequate resources for nursing research and education. Not recognizing and
respecting nurses for their hard work, not providing competitive wages and not
proving flexible schedule to the nurses. I think the solution to this problem
according to “The Nursing Shortage” (2013,) Is to
grant nurses more autonomy to practice their profession and to make their own
decision about their patient as this builds their confidence and motivates them
work harder. Facilities and hospital should also create a friendly environment
that will make nurses happy and willing stay in their fields of work such as
providing more incentives like bonuses and other benefits to motivates nurses
to stay. And also providing nurses with flexible schedules so that they can
also have some time to be with their families.

Spirituality
in nursing advocate the position that a patients quality of life,
health, and sense of wholeness are affected by spirituality.” (Giddens
2017. Pg 39). This would be the non-religious definition, when
talking about the religious sense; “…experience, attitudes, and belief
regarding God, a sense of God, and the inner person.” (Giddens 2017. Pg
39). I do not find asking questions about religious preferences
and spirituality as being uncomfortable. I think there are a lot of
things you can learn about a person when talking about their religion
and beliefs, it can give you a clear picture on what they want when it
comes to care while being hospitalized as well as what they do not want,
or things that they will not accept when it comes to life saving
measures based on their beliefs. Someone with different beliefs than you
can be a challenge to care for but ultimately we got into this career
to care for others, regardless if we think the same or not. I always
make myself aware of their views and am sure to create a treatment plan
that addresses their beliefs. How I feel about their beliefs is put on
the back burner, differences do not affect my patient care. Since I work
in a psychiatric hospital we have a lot of people that cannot
communicate like you and I, if someone has been off their medications
and tried to commit suicide and that is their reason for coming to us.
Regardless what my beliefs are on suicide, it is important to keep
open communication and build a trusting relationship with the patient.
