Students in the nursing program are required to rotate working in a variety of setting under the supervision of an experienced nurse or preceptor to develop a broad knowledge of the different population. The use of clinical supervision has been transferred from psychoanalytic culture and applied to nursing education since 1925 in the
Incorporating strategies to have a successful transition is not impossible since nursing is one of the largest part of healthcare. Acknowledging the different transition phases, from phase 1 which starts in school and graduate program and phase 4 which ends in graduation to workplace, would make the novice NP be confident. But the phase that stands out the most is phase 2, that includes confusion, emotional stress, and anxiety. (Poronsky, C. 2013).
Being a new nurse can be overwhelming, and the guidance of an experienced NP could help minimize any concerns an RN would have about continuing their education.
However, the accelerated BSN calls for online learning, especially to provide working nurses with an opportunity to horn their critical knowledge and skills needed to assume high levels of responsibility in the nursing field. Through online learning, you still have the support of the faculty and staff who understand the students’ time, energy, and career development. You can access the faculty staff through web-cam technology to get one-on-one attention and course assessment. Before commencing an online BSN program, students are taken through an orientation course that may run for five weeks where they learn the skills of becoming a successful online student, course format and policies, and resources used.
I just completed my Bachelor of Science in Nursing and look forward to exploring nursing theory, evidence-based practice and leadership even further in the advance practice curriculum. I am pursuing family nurse practitioner because it will allow me to be more versatile in my nursing skills and serve a larger patient population. There has been a focus on primary care medicine since the Affordable Care Act; resulting in a larger need for nurse practitioners required to care for this patient population. I have been granted an opportunity to advance my career and I am more than ready to take on the added responsibilities and handle treatment plans autonomously, as well as learning additional skills such as diagnosing and prescribing medications. By obtaining my graduate level education my clinical judgment would be enhanced to improve safety, quality of care and patient outcomes substantially.
There is a high significance for a nursing student completing their degree in nursing to start their career as a nurse practitioner. Nursing students must prepare to become nationally certified by an accredited body upon completion of their schooling in order to advance their career (AANP, 2016). This academic accreditation process helps to show that the students have met the requirements to practice as a Nurse Practitioner in their population focus testing. The scope of practice will be affected based on the certification that the practitioner obtains. If the Nurse Practitioner obtains a certification as a nurse specialists in pediatrics, oncology, geriatrics, emergency medicine, etc.
I am very interested in the position as a Registered Nurse for the Medical Oncology Infusion clinic available on the Memorial Hospital of Gulfport website. As a dedicated Registered Nurse with a 30-year span of experience, I believe I would be an asset for this position and the clinic team. My work experience includes Medical/Surgical nursing at acute care setting, a busy Ambulatory Clinic for three surgeons for two years, 10 years at Outpatient Surgery Center, three years as a Community Outreach Cancer nurse and much more. My skill sets are the strong ability to assess patients using the nursing process and principles, knowledge of the many procedures and protocols, proficient with using clinic equipment, multitasking to meet patients and family needs, to think critically during procedures and in emergencies, and interpreting and following instructions from the physicians.
With the wise words and encouragements from my other mentor, Professor Munoz, I have no doubt in my mind that everything will work out and I will soon start the Master’s in Acute Health Nursing Program at Kaplan University. My plan is to start discovering all the information about the Master’s program and all its requirements, so I can be prepared ahead of time. This will allow me a significant amount of time to have everything in order and be fully prepared prior to starting the program in August 2016. In process of settling in the program, I will finish and graduate by August 2018, as long as I follow the same plan I used during my BSN program. That plan was gathering all the information required for assignment’s and discussion questions before the previous week ended, allowing me more time to double check my work prior to turning it
It took me a while to find nurses that wanted to participate in my interview. I was able to interview 2 nurses at a medical center because this week at my private practice, with the help of an Ecuadorian Audiologist who has ABR/ASSR system, we had a Microtia week from all over Bolivia and one of the mother’s was a nurse assistant, she made the contact with her boss and I was able to interview both, yesterday. (NP: nurse practitioner and NA: auxiliary nurse- MARIA) 1) What motivated you to become a nurse? NP:
I have always thought about working in the medical field, but where was the question. I started looking at the field of nursing. My mom works as a nurse so it was obvious that I start there. From my research I found out all of the great things about being a nurse. This research answered my question.
Why do I want to become a nurse? Nursing, the one job everyone says that is so fulling, and will change your perspective on the world forever. I wanted to be a nurse since the time I was 10 years old, because I saw what they do for others every day. Becoming a nurse was so important to me because, I wanted to do something in my career that is interesting, challenging, and makes a difference in people's lives on a daily basis.
For the majority of people, pursuing a career in the medical field is a career which should be avoided at all costs. Whether this profession is a surgeon, a nurse, or a psychiatrist, the long hours of study and work (which are necessary for these occupations), are not in most people’s definition of a “fun job.” In addition, after the long years of study come to an end, the most feared moments arise, the time to pay student loans. Nevertheless, none of these obstacles intimidated Juan Delgado in order to pursue his dream as a healthcare professional, more importantly, to help our community. Delgado, the oldest of two, was born on December 3rd,1991.
Currently there is a big demand for nurses everywhere throughout the United States. There are also many opportunities in the field regardless of what one may specializing in because all states have a for a need for nurses. Whether one decides to live up north, down south, or out west the possibilities are endless. Some nurses have so much flexibility that they decide what hours they want to work or even what days they want to work. Many nurses also specialize in different areas within the nursing field.
I have always thought of helping others as my vocation, and subsequently I found interest in pursuing a career in Medical field. With my immense love for bettering the life of others, and the increasing job opportunity in the field, it came as no question that I would pursue a Bachelors Degree of Science in Nursing. Due to growing demand in healthcare, the job market in this field is rapidly expanding. Registered nurses have always been in high demand; however as the nature of healthcare changes in the United States the need for nurses is only increasing. No longer is the image of someone standing in scrubs awaiting doctor’s commands an accurate portrayal of a nurse.
The notion that many undergraduate nursing students are not interested in a career in mental health is popular amongst undergraduate students. During my undergraduate years, I, just like most of my colleagues did find the theory course in mental health quite uninteresting and a bit abstract. It was not until my clinical placement when a clinical nurse from the mental health unit of the hospital had a review of the theory of mental health nursing, management of clinical aggression and de-escalation technique with us that the stigma and notion that mentally ill clients are always aggressive disappeared. This prompted my interest for a career in mental health nursing. In the course of my practice, I have heard times and times again students stating that they are
