Taking the self assessment helped me to get to know my personality type and based on that personality type it matched me a job. The job it matched me was nursing which was the filled I want to get into. It showed me my strongest part and also it assured me that I am a visual learner. I would not know all this about myself if I did not take the self assessment.
I now know that NCCU offers BSN program for nursing. At first I wanted to go to UNC Chapel hill but it turned out to be a very expensive school and also very competitive school. When I was doing my research in this class for my career I found out about the salary and their work schedule. The last thing I learned was that there were many types of nurses beside the ones I knew of. Over
Clinical Objectives with Self-Assessment Advanced Psychiatric Nursing Practicum I PMHNP- Student Naiga Dohnji Rivier University September 11, 2017 Practicum Objectives My practicum objective is to work closely with my preceptor, and effectively with patients who have a mental health problem. As a student nurse practitioner in psychiatry, it is imperative that I have a profound knowledge of the psychiatric disorders.
These include the Vocational Nursing, Associate Degree Nursing, Baccalaureate Nursing for Registered Nurses and Master of Science in Nursing degrees. Students who complete the BSN Program will be prepared for graduate study and be eligible to take the Texas Board of Nursing’s National Council Licensure Examination (NCLE). The Online RN to BSN is a generic program to help registered nurses earn their degrees. This degree program enables students to integrate leadership, research, theory and skill knowledge into the practice of professional nursing care. The first class the students take is on professional mobility.
Leadership is the ability to guide or influence others with an objective of achieving a desired outcome. It involves influencing beliefs, opinions, values, perceptions, or behaviors of an individual or a group, and it is an amalgamation of inherent personality traits, learned skills, and it is a response to situational stimuli. I believe that, at any particular moment, where two or more individuals are interacting, one of them will emerge as the leader the other(s). To me, this means leadership role is fluid, and it changes as situational stimuli changes. For instance, during interpersonal interaction involving two individual, the leadership role has potential to shift from one individual to the other, as the situational stimuli changes.
RN education degree requirements range from a diploma to a bachelor’s degree. Diploma programs are offered at hospitals and typically last three years. Associate’s degrees in nursing are offered at community colleges and take two to three years to complete. Bachelor’s degrees in nursing are offered at colleges and universities and take four years to complete"(collegequest 1) . There are many different options for education for this career.
Reflecting on the past seven weeks I have acquired countless knowledge, which I will use to further strengthen my profession as an Advanced Practice Nurse. The course allowed me to think beyond my current practice knowledge and acquired innovative ways to evaluate the situation at hand. The learning objective in program outcome four helps set standards that I will use to guide my clinical practice to meet various healthcare needs. Using the case studies has helped to further enhance my knowledge on disease physiological state, using differential diagnosis, disease manifestations, and clinical presentation. It has also taught me the skills on how to differentiate between similar diagnoses to properly identify the problem and treat the patients.
Week five; the heart takes its first beat. Week sixteen; the lungs take their first breath. Week twenty-three; the first movement is felt. To have the privilege to be part of this life-changing journey and a woman’s story is what inspires me to become a midwife. Pregnancy and birth are natural processes in which I believe all women are designed for and therefore capable of.
Competency Differences of Baccalaureate and Associate Degree Prepared Nurses There are three main approaches to entering the nursing field as a registered nurse. The hospital based diploma program has largely gone out of favor; there remains less than 75 diploma programs in the United States (National League for Nursing, 2013). More nurses favor entering the profession via the Associates degree route (38% of the workforce) while nursing administrators want more BSN prepared nurses. Why would administrators want BSN prepared nurses when they come with a higher cost in wages? Why did the IOM recommend increasing the percentage of Baccalaureate prepared nurses in hospitals to 80% (Institute of Medicine, 2010)?
Many nurses do not get involved in health care policy even though the nurse should. Most nurses do not know much about health care policies, some view it as “foreign and complex” (Falk, 2014, p. 203). I consider myself one of the nurses that do not know much about health care policy and I am one of the nurses that do not get involved in health care policy. I do not get involved with health care policy because I was never taught about it, so I do not want to get involved in something that I do not know much about. I look forward to learn more about health policies and becoming more involved in health policies.
Self assessment is a concept familiar to me however one that I am not very comfortable with for it further clarifies my realization that I have so much to learn in every aspect of my life. It does keep me grounded and able to learn from anything and everything on a daily basis. I work in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and as a Neonatologist I am the team leader in a multitude of situations which require quick, precise and accurate decision making skills on a daily basis. These decisions are not always huge life altering moments but those that can have an impact on a baby and a family.
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.
To begin with, the self-assessment for enhancing my budgetary wellbeing helped me because it offered assistance with an understanding in the regions that I need to start spending less money on. As a college student, I find it critical to make a sensible spending plan because spending too much on things that are "wants "and not “needs” can affect your life adversely. The second self-evaluation (Staying Psychologically Healthy) was exceptionally precise in regards to the scoring. When I was analyzing my coping skill I discovered that I scored fairly low (9) because a perfect score was (15). Yet, I can relate this scoring with a past experience.
Evolution from Novice to a Beginning Professional Nurse Looking back when I started my nursing school, I can proudly say that I have evolved both physically and psychologically. I was not sure if nursing was the right choice for me at first because I had difficulties interacting with people outside my family circle. The first semester was challenging for me because I did not know how to interact with my class mates and felt isolated each time there is a class activity. I joined a study group later that semester and it has been an excitement ever since.
Nursing assessment has a significant role in providing effective, accurate and safe nursing care in clinical practice. Nursing assessment is the first stage of the Nursing Process. It is used to explore the physical, psychological, spiritual and social aspect of the patient’s life. It is therefore a holistic and systematic guide for nurses to obtain a greater understanding of their patient’s wants and needs. It is the underlying foundation of the process, on which other phases of the process are based upon (Foster & Hawkins, 2005).

Promoting self awareness and self-efficacy for psychiatric nurses Faten H. Alam Psychiatric Nursing, Menoufia University, Egypt Introduction A workday of the nurse is loaded with individuals: patients suffering from pain or nearing death, and relatives attempting to comprehend and adapt to their loved ones’ conditions. Most nurses are attracted to the profession by a wish or want to care for others, and many are more likely to think that taking time for self-examination or self- consideration is highly self-indulgent.
