ABSTRACT
Problem-based learning (PBL) has been implemented throughout the world as an innovative learning method in nursing education. Although some Egyptian universities have adopted PBL as a learning method, little is known about how nursing students feel about using such approach in nursing practice. Thus, the current study sought to explore student's perception and acceptance of PBL approach in critical care nursing
Data was collected voluntarily via Monkey Survey from the nursing schools whose dean had replied via email and agreed to school participation. ARCC-E (Advancing Research and Clinical Practice through close Collaboration and Education) was used to measure the perception of the effectiveness of EBP courses. Amongst the highest ranking statement on the questionnaire was the availability of data bases, belief in EBP courses being very useful for graduate nursing students and faculty having high expectations of what students can achieve in EBP courses. Amongst the lowest rating was faculty members were EBP mentors for healthcare professionals and that they would like to be mentors. Time constrictions in relation to the amount of academics, theories and skill sets required to be taught in nursing programs.
According to Case Western Reserve University (2014) the QSEN project was launched in pilot nursing schools in 2007 in an effort to continuously improve the quality and safety of the healthcare system. It was recognized that in order to affect dramatic change within the field of nursing, it had to start with nursing education, and brand new nurses. Basically, initiating change at the source. Therefore, I do believe that the QSEN project was initially aimed solely at new nurses.
This knowledge opens up an endless number of opportunities for professional growth. Studies show BSN prepared nurses have critical thinking
Critical Thinking: Tanner (2006), had introduce the term ‘thinking like a nurse’. When I read this article I was wondering what it means and takes to think like a nurse, I am a nurse by profession and yet I don’t even know what it means. In order to be a professional nurse, nurses are required to learn to think like a nurse. To my surprise, to be able think like a nurse, a nurse got to clearly defined and understands what is critical thinking and clinical reasoning. Both terms are powerful terms and these terms explain the mental processes nurses use to make certain that they are doing their most excellent thinking and decision making for their patient’s better outcomes.
Nursing is a most trusted and gratifying profession. As a nurse educator, I will express my passion for teaching by incorporating features such as clinical assessments, practical application of theory, evaluation, and role modeling into advanced nursing practice, from previous experiences and current experience and clinical practicum to find success and gratification in students chosen profession as well empowering leaners to develop their own strengths, beliefs, and personal attributes to become a good professional. Personally, I do have a positive attitude towards the personal and professional growth, and value ongoing learning and will stive to instill the same into my students learnig journey .. My objective as a Nurse Educator
The Complexity Adaptive System (CAS) is a system that can adapt to an ever-changing environment. CAS and the professions of nursing are closely related because the profession of nursing is constantly evolving in many directions. Back in the late 1800s, a registered nurse had a very narrow scope and they are categorized in the lower pay grade hierarchy (Chaffee & McNeill, 2007). In today’s profession of nursing, the nursing roles and scope of practice have expanded into over 100 specialties and contribute to essential roles in various parts of the healthcare system (Chaffee & McNeill, 2007). This just shows that the simple title of a registered nurse encompasses a huge role of responsibility because the daily hospital operations and the delivery

I was fortunate to be able to observe academic education of nursing students at DeSales University. This education was held in a classroom setting on Mondays and Wednesdays. My observation time was 16 hours in which I observed Alyssa Robertson prepare for class, prepare exams, give lectures, provide hands on education, assist students in learning, and provide support to students. I also observed many student interactions and learning techniques. The learners were NU 220 Pharmacology and NU 230 Therapeutic Nursing Interventions students.
Developing collaborative student relationships fosters a sense of mutual trust and respect. Gaining every student’s trust enhances the learning relationship and is reflective of my commitment to caring and my dedication to student success to achieve their goals. When it comes to classroom instruction, I feel that how I teach is equally as important as what I teach. I integrate current evidence based practice in all course content. I feel it is important to include new innovations and applications not only within nursing but within related and supporting disciplines.
Student work in small groups of four for the psychomotor skill component and feedback was provided to students by student nurse educators on the spot while performing the procedure. Finally, a five questions gaming was provided to measure student’s cognitive retention of the material discussed and the skill gain. The students worked in collaboratively in groups of four to complete the post-quiz and were given feedback on their strengths and weaknesses. The students score higher than 90% on the post-quiz and verbalize collaborative academia learning milieu was permeated with rich intellectual opportunities needed to demonstrate clinical skills and competencies successfully and to further advance their wisdom on catheter insertion and removal. Hence, as a student nurse educator, I feel privileged to contribute to this project and to have made an impact in the lives of students.
Ways of Knowing Related to Nursing Theory Emily Amstutz University of Missouri Kansas City MSN FNP Program Abstract Carper (1978) presents four fundamental ways of knowing that have been developed from emerging patterns in the discipline of nursing: (a) empirical way of knowing, (b) esthetic way of knowing, (c) personal knowledge, and (d) ethics. As a registered nurse, I primary utilize the empirical way of knowing in my practice because it is science based and encourages logical decision-making skills. The four fundamental ways of knowing apply to nursing theory by: Keywords: empirical, esthetics, personal knowledge, ethics, ways of knowing, Ways of Knowing Related to Nursing Theory
Since the spread of formal schooling and education in human societies, fostering cognitive abilities, such as understanding, reasoning, critical thinking, creativity, problem-solving and judgment has been highlighted [1]. Problem-solving is an essential skill in today’s life [2]. Problem-solving is a goal-directed thinking [3]. It is a mental process, some logical, orderly, intellectual thinking that helps cope with problems, search several solutions and choose the best solution [4]. According to Moshirabadi, problem-solving is a systematic process and a problem-focused situation analysis that indicates the ability of individuals to overcome obstacles and to achieve goals.
In this course, I learned the different nursing theories and how it has been
Providing care to a patient is a particularly challenging process that requires a great deal of effort from a nurse. A nurse’s ability to give quality care to their patient is an important aspect to a patient’s life both now and in the future. As such, nurses must exhibit specific qualities in their practice in order to maintain the best standard of care for their patients. Given this, I believe that the standards of knowledge, advocacy, and self-awareness are foundational to the nursing practice and to a nurse’s capacity to provide quality patient care. Knowledge
The nature of clinical education presents challenges that may cause students to experience stress. Moreover, the practical components of the program which is important in preparing students to develop into professional nurse role by its nature have made the programme even more stressful than other programmes. The various factors associated with stress among nursing students: 1. Environmental factors: Perceived stress due to change in living environment, inadequate telephone facilities, inadequate provision of safety and security in the world, inadequate facility of canteen/mess, lack of recreational facilities.
