Review of Nursing Education: A Journey to Professionalism Through Experience Ana Lujan University of North Carolina Charlotte Being a nurse requires engaging the classroom knowledge base with lab-based learned perception, and – most importantly – skilled, ethical action gained in clinical practice. Herein, we will discuss the complexity of nursing by reviewing Benner’s learning model in nursing education as presented in Handwerker’s 2012 article. Abstract categorization of knowledge further enforces the emphasis on content and places the students as passive recipients of theory (Handwerker, 2012, p .6), rather than active learners developing in a more clinical environment. An educational practice gap exists and students feel that clinical practice is totally separate from what was learned in formal education settings (Benner et al., 2010: Gordon. 2005; Spouse: 2001).
Patient Teaching Plan Abstract A nurses’ role is being an educator to the patient. Patient teaching is very important part of nursing field. A lot of patient are not fully aware of their chronic illnesses, its diagnosis and treatment, as well as certain skills that is needed for managing their illnesses. That is why our role is to provide these information for the patients so that could have a better health management. In this paper, I will discuss about patient teaching that I have done as a student nurse at Antelope Valley Hospital on the Medsurg Unit.
The student nurse will reflect on health promotion issues as this stood out to me in several areas, The student nurse discovered that although we can nurse a patient back to health it is so important to make the patient aware of how necessary it is for them to participate in their care by adhering to what is recommended to them by various members of the Multidisciplinary Team and the devastating consequences that the patient can encounter if advice is ignored. The student nurse will use the Gibbs (1988) reflective cycle, this encouraged thinking systematically about all phases of an activity. Gibbs (1988) is descriptive with regards to feelings, evaluation, analysis, conclusions and action plans, therefore ideal for this assignment. Although I experienced many different aspects of care regarding health promotions this assignment will concentrate mainly on a single event that will stay with me throughout my nursing career. According to Scottish Government (2010) Healthcare Quality Strategy for NHS Scotland, nurse’s carers and people at the heart of the healthcare and care delivery services should improve conditions in NHS Scotland and the care provided, on reading this strategy I understand a nurses responsibility, but the importance of patient participation in their own care is invaluable and the cooperation and communication with the Multidisciplinary Team is essential to complete patient care package to the highest standard.
The need for more nurses after world war 11, the advances in medical practice, with new skills and knowledge for nurses made it apparent that the practical method of nursing education was negatively affecting the standard of care provided to patients and it was felt that this method of teaching nurses was not meeting the standard of modern teaching theory and practice. Baccalaureate degree as stated by Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia “is a 4 year academic degree in the science and principles of nursing, granted by a tertiary education university or similarly accredited school”. It further explains “Though one is eligible to sit for the licensing examination to become a registered nurse after
Bloom's Taxonomy of Education and Managing Patients with Chronic Disease Willene Phelps NUR/427 March 5, 2013 Kathy Cavanaugh, RN, MSN, FNP, CCTC Bloom's Taxonomy of Education and Managing Patients with Chronic Disease To assist patients in the management of their chronic disease processes, we must first understand the information available and the knowledge base of the learner (patient). Bloom’s taxonomy of educational objectives assists in this endeavor by establishing a guideline for the learning process. Classified learning objectives permit an organized approach to the teaching and learning process (“Bloom’s Cognitive Domain,” 2011). Organization is a key element in ensuring our education efforts are meeting full potential for comprehension. Use of Bloom’s Taxonomy of Education in Nursing Education The use of Bloom’s Taxonomy of Education in nursing education provides a guideline for data collection, data analysis, evaluation, and implementation of a working plan.
Nineteen ninety-four was a significant year for me; it was the year I began volunteering at the local children's hospital. I read books to children from ages four to fourteen which brought a smile to their face and to mine. Not only did I want to make these kids feel better, but I also wanted them to see that their illness, whether short term or long term, did not define who they are or what they could become. So, I used my skills as an educator to mentor them as they continued their schoolwork while they were in the hospital. Bringing together education and healing was a life-changing experience that made me realize that nursing is my true calling.
Tonya Godwin: Socialization in Nursing 1 Socialization and Me Socialization in Nursing 2 Introduction Professional socialization is the process by which individuals acquire the specialized knowledge, skills, attitudes, values, norms, and interests needed to perform their professional roles acceptable (Edens, 1987). People start experiencing socialization with the first day of kindergarten; we watch and observe our classmates and teacher, to help develop the acceptable behavior in a classroom environment. In the following discussion I will explore my personal experiences with socialization into my personal role as a nurse. Discussion Growing up in a middle class, Democratic home, I learned early in life work ethnics. You go to work in rain, sleet, shine, sick, health, and hurricanes.
On a daily basis, nurses use these domains in nursing education and patients with chronic diseases. Each domain is comprised of a hierarchy of behaviors, attainable, in order, from simplest to the most complex. His taxonomy would not remain static. In the mid-nineties, Lorin Anderson, a former Bloom student, started a revision of Bloom’s Taxonomy. She changed the categories from noun to verbs and slightly rearranged their order.
Professional Nursing Introduction This paper will give an overview of the introduction to the Nursing profession, Florence Nightingale, and modern medicine. The poor quality of care for the sick in hospitals was identified and the need for qualified Nursing staff recognised. The development of formal education programs for Nursing and care givers was established. Education was seen as an improvement to the practice. Mortality rates were high at the turn of the century.
Nurses have a great opportunity to shape the future of the nursing practice through therapeutic communication Armold&Boggs, (2011). While nursing is fundamentally about communicating care and care is at the heart of the nurse client relationship, many problems still remain in the clinical area due to a lack of effective communication. This is supported by Crawford,( 1998).Communication is a key skill of modern nursing practice. Therapeutic Communication is one of the most valuable tools that nurses have to build good interpersonal relationship or trust. I felt the need to develop therapeutic relationship with the patients so that they could feel they could put their trust in me ,also that I was there to listen and talk to them not just care for them.Cutcliff and Mckenna (2005) states that you can gain comfort from drawing on your interpersonal skills, having strength and endurance, feeling self confident , having sufficient competence,beingpeace and ease with oneself and also having a sense of being valued and useful.
