Nursing Assignment Help

TASK Distinguish the roles and responsibilities of a nurse in the selected specialty practice area.  In this module you will explore the role of the specialist nurse. You will be asked to identify some of the physical and emotional safety issues related to the specialty and determine some strategies you can use to keep yourself (and your patient) safe. The module will conclude with an examination of the legal aspects associated with the specialty,both in terms of your responsibilities and the responsibilities of the employer. In Australia, specialist nursing usually requires a post-graduate qualification (Jokiniemi, Pietilä, Kylmä & Haatainen, 2012). However, as registered Nurses you can work in any area of nursing,so what defines specialty practice?  What is the difference between a nurse practitioner and an advanced practice nurse as opposed to someone who has worked in same clinical area for 10 years or someone who has a postgraduate certificate or Diploma in specialty area?
