The Role Of E-Portfolio And MSN Learning Outcomes

The Essentials of Master’s Education in Nursing serves to transform nursing education and is critical to the innovations needed in health care. AACN (2011) Health care is a field that is constantly changing and evolving. Medical professionals are committed to lifelong learning, with an emphasis on seeking out quality care for patients that is based on evidence. Master’s prepared nurses are leaders in this change and are expected to provide the best quality outcomes. Nurses with a master’s degree will be able to enhance society through their lifelong learning and have the skills to build and lead professional teams. Being able to translate evidence into their daily practice as well as incorporate this care throughout the healthcare system as

This reflective essay is based upon my experience working alongside the Infection Prevention and Control Support Nurses at the general hospital. As part of my learning experience as a 2nd year student nurse is to accompany the infection control nurses when visiting the wards The role of the IPCSN involved teaching, educating and advising all disciplines across the Trust, monitoring outbreaks and daily surveillance.

What comparisons can be found between the GCU Mission and Domains/CON Mission and Program Competencies (for your selected specialty track, links located in the Course Materials) with the AACN's Essentials for Master's Education for Advanced Practice Nursing (link located in the Week 1 Topic Materials)? Explain your rational.

The project innovations were applied globally meaning they were instilled in textbooks, school curriculums, certifications, accreditation and many more. That ensures that nursing professionals will be on the “same page” and working towards the same goals of continuously improving the quality and safety in health care

A registered Nurse can graduate from one of 2 main programs of education and include (ADN) associate degree nursing or (BSN) baccalaureate degree nursing. Both have similarities and differences. Both must take a state board exam of questions that are user specific to gauge whether the student nurse has enough knowledge to go professionally. Both programs hold the mandatory minimum knowledge in order to provide efficient and safe healthcare. But which one is better? Does one program have an advantage over the other?

For a nurse, higher education at the University of West London (UWL) has offered me a broader knowledge base that I will be able to apply to improve nursing care outcomes concerning patient care, quality standards, and other nursing skills. In this respect, graduating from a nursing program will offer me the opportunity to be a better healthcare practitioner and work within teams for the best outcomes. In fact, the higher education knowledge base that I will acquire upon graduation will make me more attractive to employers. In this case, employers will trust me with more responsibilities since I will know more about the patients’ overall conditions, work

I reflected back over the last eight weeks of this course. The nursing outcomes in course NR 511 has prepared me to meet the MSN program outcome #7, MSN Essential III and Nurse Practitioner Core Competencies # 4 Practice Inquiry Competencies.

The Master of Science in Nursing has two curriculum tracks one track prepares family nurse practitioners to deliver primary care services, while the other track prepares nurse educators to teach in nursing programs. I would like to attend The Division Of Nursing Program, It is a national premier nursing school based on excellence in education, research, and public service, as well as diversity in student population and program offerings. The Division of Nursing is dedicated to provide excellent, accessible, and responsive programs in the baccalaureate, masters and doctoral levels. This faculty is committed to promote career mobility in students interest in pursuing the Bachelor of Science in Nursing Degree by providing several program options to both traditional and non-traditional learners. The program options include: Traditional, Paramedic to BSN, Accelerated BSN, and RN to BSN. Sixty hours are required in the general education core and support courses for the nursing major.

Often, with many degree core coursework, there is an exorbitant amount of irrelevant material that is required to meet the degree standard. This core coursework is very seldom relevant to the degree focus itself. Educators periodically review the stated requirements and make changes necessary to not only meet the base education requirement but meet the focused degree standards. Nurse leaders are also calling for such a review – one that will provide curricular direction that will help nursing education adapt to the changing needs of Canadians and the changing healthcare system. (Pijl-Zieber, E., Grypma, S., & Barton, S. 2014). This review and potential simplification and streamlining of the curricula necessary to achieve the BSN may be a selling point for nurses on the fence about going back to

From this class I understood that Interprofessional Education (IPE) is when two or more profession learn from, with and about each other. This collaboration is important in order to fulfill the patients’ needs that are becoming more complex, multi-faced and challenging day by day. It is also clear to me that no single profession in healthcare can adequately address all the demands of patients. Therefore, partnership between teams is required to provide a safe, timely, effective and equitable patient care. To have a smooth collaboration, it is necessary to learn from each other’s specializations, strength and experiences. In the real world, healthcare is an interdisciplinary team effort to provide the best possible service to a patient based on evidence based practices. Considering this, I had the

The membership of an educated interdisciplinary health care team includes doctors, pharmacists, speech pathologist, nutritionists, and countless others professions that require a minimal education of a master’s degree. The ADN prepared nurse in essence provides little with the exception of a trade and skill to the profession of nursing. The government today recognizes the importance of a BSN prepared nurse requiring a formal education for the each branch of the armed forces, Veterans Administration (VA), and government employment .The interdisciplinary team approaches’ the bedside nurse asking the bedside nurse for updates and suggestions, how can an ADN prepared nurse provide an evidence base theory for the patients condition, progress or decline when lacking the required education? Then we ask ourselves when doctors and other health professionals look upon us as diaper changers, don’t value our opinion or fail to acknowledge

Infection control and precautions is a major aspect when working in the health care field. Nurses and all other healthcare professionals should be properly educated regarding infection control techniques and precautions. This research study conducted by Chia-Jung Wu, Glenn E Gardner and Anne M Chang, measures Taiwanese nursing students’ capability to handle infection control in terms of knowledge, application skills and confidence. From the review of literature and previous studies, data revealed that there is a sufficient lack in knowledge regarding infection control procedures, however these prior results tend to be unconvincing due to only being relatable to certain groups and populations. Throughout this study, a cross sectional survey was used for the research of fourth year nursing students in a five year program in Southern Taiwan. The demographics of the students were studied along with three different scales measuring knowledge, application and confidence. The data was collected from a self-administered questionnaire given out at the different campuses. The results from this study were based off

As a competent registered nurse, my career goal is to become a healthcare quality improvement leader, a position that would enhance my commitment in promoting patient safety. I not only believe in enhancing the capacity of other care providers, but also in improving the quality of the healing environment for the benefit of both patients and their care providers. This means not only promoting collaboration with the multidisciplinary teams, but also building the necessary healing partnerships with our patients. To enhance the quality of the healing environment, I aspire to continue analyzing researches for evidence based practices and advocating for their actualization. I will continue focusing my time and energy in encouraging other nurses to improve their skills through formal education, so they can empower themselves as advocates of quality improvement for the benefit of their patients and coworkers.

Infections disease prevention and control and communicable and infectious disease risks are important topics that every student nurse should be exposed to during the nursing program. The impact and threats that these infectious diseases cause an effect on society and global level should be studied. Also, the economic principles to nursing and health care that public health contributes to.
