An Expound on Emergency Nurses Association

The emergency Nurses Association is a group in the healthcare that came into existence following the stated problem that there were numerous changes in the patient care provided in an emergency in the United States in the healthcare delivery system. Some of them had the effect of leading to customer relationship breakdown. The emergency department expanded to have both customers who are their patients and the people interacting with the department through receiving, sharing, and the provision of services. The organization is nationally recognized, specialized in intradisciplinary matters for the emergency nurses. It has offered educational support for professional nurses in the emergency field to enable lifetime learning (Howard and Papa, 2012).

There are several mechanisms through which the ENA is determining its position. They believe that the emergency department’s customers consist of patients, family, and any other signs. They think that the respect that should be to patients and the customers are in both the nursing and care department. The nurses’ actions and interactive activities are the efforts for meeting respectful customers’ needs and dignity. It is also their position that they have both internal and external customers important for efficient quality service delivery. The emergency department is the most vital system having the necessary tools for the quality services measurement. As a result of this, it colludes with developing ED specific indicators for quality services measurement outcome and patient satisfaction.

When it comes to funding, there is an increased provision of funds relevant to both the emergency nurses and the patients. The bill provided has to support various programs, among them being the professional education, research, children’s medical emergent services, and the centers for controlling poison and is thus of help in the quality care provision (Deena Brecher, 2014). There is the fiscal year omnibus expenditure that funds all federal programs that are non-mandatory. The increment in funding for emergency nursing programs was due to many sharp cut years in the central support. There is the channeling of funds to several institute programs such as Title VIII nursing workforce development, the national institute of health, the national institute of nursing research, the children’s emergency medical services, poison control centers, and the rural communities external defibrillators purchase program.

There are several lobbying efforts in this group. The nurses have tried to protect themselves from violence in the workplace. Another one is a campaign for a law where the public is to be made aware of the intense and frequent assault to workers in the healthcare department. Nurses have also supposed to shun away from wearing combat boots to work. An essential expenditure is also being released to nurses as salaries to keep them up for work through their different associations.

Just like any other department, challenges to the emergency of nurses associations are inevitable. There is an increased number of patients in need of services and acuity. The department is becoming an older workforce where there is the dumping of new inexperienced professionals in comparison to the current technology.  The patient acuity is making nurses to overwork and thus deliver episodic care services due to a high patient to nurse ratio. It is also confirmed hard to retain emergency nurses.

Nursing is a severe profession that needs practitioners to adhere promptly. Registered nurses, therefore, have to understand their responsibilities. This is the reason for the existence of the emergency of nurses’ profession with the aim of patience safety protection and effectiveness in their practice. The group is famous and has made progress through the lobbying efforts despite the imminent challenges.
