Les soins infirmiers sont définis au sens large comme « une attention, une application envers quelqu’un ou quelque chose ». Le mot soin prend alors le sens de « moyens par lesquels on s’efforce de rendre la santé à un malade ». Tels que définis par le Conseil international des infirmières, les soins infirmiers représentent les soins prodigués, de manière autonome ou en collaboration, aux individus de tous âges, aux familles, aux groupes et aux communautés – malades ou bien-portants – quel que soit le cadre.
Bachelor of Science in Nursing
The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN, BScN) also known in some countries as a Bachelor of Nursing (BN) or Bachelor of Science (BS) with a Major in Nursing is an academic degree in the science and principles of nursing, granted by an accredited tertiary education provider. The course of study is typically three or four years. The difference in degree designation may relate to the amount of basic science courses required as part of the degree, with BScN and BSN degree curriculums requiring completion of more courses on math and natural sciences that are more typical of BSc degrees (e.
Études en soins infirmiers
Les études en soins infirmiers, même si elles diffèrent selon les pays dans leurs modalités, durent pour la plupart environ trois ans et alternent enseignement théorique et stages pratiques. Au Québec, l'accès à la profession d'infirmier est double : Cinq ans d'études secondaires suivis de trois ans au CÉGEP (Collège d ́Enseignement Général Et Professionnel) (6 sessions à temps complet avec un à deux stages par session) conduisent au Diplôme d'Enseignement Collégial (DEC) en soins infirmiers (équivalent à un Diplôme Universitaire de Technologie français en nombre d'années d'étude) qui permet de passer l'examen de l'Ordre des Infirmières et Infirmiers du Québec (OIIQ) pour obtenir son permis d'exercice infirmier.
Associate of Science in Nursing
An Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN) is a tertiary education nursing degree which typically takes 2–3 years to complete. In the United States, this type of degree is usually awarded by community colleges or similar nursing schools. Some four-year colleges also offer this degree. Students awarded an Associate of Science in Nursing are qualified to sit for the NCLEX-RN and apply for licensure as a Registered Nurse.
Neonatal intensive care unit
A neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), also known as an intensive care nursery (ICN), is an intensive care unit (ICU) specializing in the care of ill or premature newborn infants. The NICU is divided into several areas, including a critical care area for babies who require close monitoring and intervention, an intermediate care area for infants who are stable but still require specialized care, and a step down unit where babies who are ready to leave the hospital can receive additional care before being discharged.
Infirmier praticien spécialisé
L'infirmier praticien spécialisé ou infirmière praticienne spécialisée (IPS) est, au Canada, une infirmière ou un infirmier qui possèdent une expérience clinique dans un domaine spécifique et qui ont reçu une formation avancée de cycle en sciences infirmières et en sciences médicales. L'infirmier en pratique avancée ou infirmière en pratique avancée IPA est en France un(e) (IDE) travaillant en interprofessionnel dans une équipe de soins primaires (ESP) ou dans une Maison de santé pluridisciplinaire (MSPP).
Nursing credentials and certifications
Nursing credentials and certifications are the various credentials and certifications that a person must have to practice nursing legally. Nurses' postnominal letters (abbreviations listed after the name) reflect their credentials—that is, their achievements in nursing education, licensure, certification, and fellowship. The letters usually appear in the following order: Highest earned academic degree in or related to nursing (e.g. "DNP" or "PhD") Nursing licensure (e.g. "RN," "LPN") Nursing certification (e.
Advanced practice nurse
An advanced practice nurse (APN) is a nurse with post-graduate education and training in nursing. Nurses practicing at this level may work in either a specialist or generalist capacity. APNs are prepared with advanced didactic and clinical education, knowledge, skills, and scope of practice in nursing. In the United States, the National Council of State Boards of Nursing along with other nursing authorities and organizations recommend the use of the term and acronym advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) as described in the Consensus Model for APRN Regulation, Licensure, Accreditation, Certification and Education.
Registered nurse
A registered nurse (RN) is a nurse who has graduated or successfully passed a nursing program from a recognized nursing school and met the requirements outlined by a country, state, province or similar government-authorized licensing body to obtain a nursing license. An RN's scope of practice is determined by legislation, and is regulated by a professional body or council. Registered nurses are employed in a wide variety of professional settings, and often specialize in a field of practice.
