“…Higher education takes place at the undergraduate level where cardiovascular nursing is taught only through specific specialty chapters in nursing and internal medicine books. However, recent literature recognizes the limited focus on clinical skill preparation within the nursing educational programs (Astin et al., 2015; Bellflower & Likes, 2019).…”

Occupational standard is the result of the agreement between relevant stakeholders in the labor market and education on optimal content for a particular occupation. While drafting occupational standard, the primary instrument for researching competencies at a workplace is a survey on occupational standard. This study identifies key competencies, roles, and responsibilities that are deemed necessary by employers of cardiovascular nurses. The survey addressed the responses of 41 organizations from 11 out of 21 counties in Croatia which were represented by the head nurses of cardiology departments in the hospitals. The survey consisted of 24 questions that covered the main responsibilities, competencies, generic skills, and psychometric abilities. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. Conducting diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, health care, education, administration of medications, monitoring, and documentation were listed as the main responsibilities of cardiovascular nurses. The most common skills included assessment, monitoring patient’s condition, knowledge of the diagnostic or therapeutic procedures and cardiovascular diseases, interpreting the electrocardiograms, preparing patients for checkups, conducting patient’s education, and following practice guidelines. Generic skills included communication and organizational skills, teamwork, and responsibility. Reaction time and attention span were the most assessed psychomotor abilities. Artificial lighting and radiation were the most important environmental risk factors. The most appropriate level of education for cardiovascular nursing was specialist graduate studies. The results of the study could be used to develop occupational standards for cardiovascular nursing and to guide the curriculum for the educational program development.

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to examine the motivations and perceptions of RNs with completed doctorates in an integrated healthcare system. BACKGROUND Historically, PhD preparation was the primary doctorate available for nurses, preparing them to conduct research and hold leadership positions. The recent growth of Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) programs that focus on either advanced clinical practice or executive competencies has significant implications for the future of nursing in practice settings. METHODS A 30-item survey was sent to all 93 RNs at a healthcare system who have completed doctorates. RESULTS A response rate of 71% found DNPs outnumber PhDs 3 to 1. PhDs are significantly more likely to perceive concrete benefits associated with their degrees, and DNPs are more likely to report that their degrees have not made a difference in their jobs. CONCLUSIONS Leaders in practice and education must collaborate to ensure that both DNPs and PhDs are engaged in positions that use their highest level of competence in any setting.

In 2004, the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) position statement on practice doctorates in nursing ignited interest in DNP preparation.…”
