The analysis and synthesis will utilize the NLN core competencies to discuss issues related to the application of the nurse educator role, strategies and approaches that were applied to the role, and a description and analysis of the clinical project that was undertaken. An evaluation of achievement for the goal and objectives for the practicum experience will be discussed. Facilitate Learning Academic nurse educators
Bloom’s Taxonomy of Education and its use in Nursing Education Bloom’s Taxonomy of Education research was conducted to allow staff members to more clearly understand the patient’s situation and think more critically in preventing patient complications. Using Bloom’s framework and guiding staff members to review current documentation with data in small segments would allow staff members to focus on the important clues and draw accurate conclusions (Larkin & Burton, 2008). This framework allows the instructor to measure the outcomes of the educational activity while moving the learners from basic to higher levels of cognitive function (Larkin & Burton, 2008). Bloom’s Taxonomy’s in Nursing Education allows nurses to broaden the use of their critical thinking skills by researching the patients care. Through progress notes, labs work results, physicians orders, operative reports, and data collection worksheets allows a nurse to assemble a plan for the patient during his or her hospital
NR451 – Capstone Project Milestone #2: Draft Design for Change Assignment Guide/Rubric PURPOSE Creation of a draft “Design for Change” proposal inclusive of your PICOT and Literature review information from your Course Project Milestone #1. Your plan is to convince your management team of a nursing problem you have uncovered and you feel is significant enough to change the way something is currently practiced. In the event you are not currently working as a nurse, please use a hypothetical clinical situation you experienced in nursing school, or nursing education issue you identified in your nursing program. COURSE OUTCOMES This assignment enables the student to meet the following course outcomes: CO1: Applies the theories and principles of nursing and related disciplines to individuals, families, aggregates, and communities from entry to the healthcare system through long-term planning. (PO #1) CO2: Proposes leadership and collaboration strategies for use with consumers and other healthcare providers in managing care and/or delegating responsibilities for health promotion, illness prevention, health restoration and maintenance, and rehabilitative activities.
The way in which a nurse practices can greatly affect the outcome of the patient (Potter & Perry, 2006). For this reason, nursing practices based on theories and concepts should be researched. The process of using concepts, theories, research and practices to form rationales usually begins with a concept or theory and is cyclic in nature, as each component may lead to the other (see Appendix A). In the nursing profession, several concept-directed theories guide both research and practice. The purpose of this paper is to select and analyze one of the many nursing theories that exist.
Students are supervised and evaluated by licensed nurses while completing clinicals. Clinicals are important to the degree program. They provide an opportunity for students to gain knowledge and actual hands-on experience in the field. This is a good way for students to make sure that nursing is the right career path for them. There are
In the research case study this segment includes the patient’s vital signs, important lab values, nurses’ note and change of shift report. In the comprehension segment we must be able to understand and interpret the data given to us to formulate a nursing diagnosis. In the application level we use the data we have and have rationale for our actions. In the analysis level we use higher level of thinking by looking at our data and compare and contrast it. The synthesis level makes the nurse assess the data and draw a reasonable prediction.
My role as a student in higher education and my role as a future healthcare practitioner. Modern day nursing centres on research-based practice and evidence-based health care. According to Naidoo and Wills (2005) the competence of health care personnel is based on their education and knowledge and skills it provides. Contemporary clinical guidelines and practices provide a significant change from the apprenticeship styled learning system of the Florence Nightingale 18th century era. Nursing education has been radically reformed; both in theory and practice to meet up-to-date demands which comprises of rapid technological advancement, cutting edge research and knowledgeable patients who according to Mark, W., and Stanton, M.A.
Self Evaluation of Critical Thinking Susan R. Bolte The Ohio State University College of Nursing Graduate School Self Evaluation of Critical Thinking “Critical thinking in nursing is an essential component of professional accountability and quality nursing care” (Rubenfeld & Sheffer, 2010, p. 31). Nurses that use effective critical thinking must use certain habits of the mind, as well as, specific cognitive skills. According to Rubenfeld and Sheffer (2010), critical thinking is not only important to clinicians and educators, but also, it is important to patients and their significant others as it has a direct impact on the quality of patient outcomes. Quality patient outcomes require multiple levels of thinking (p. 9). By performing a self-assessment of my own critical thinking skills, I have revealed both strengths, as well as, weaknesses which have provided a basis for this paper.
We will further consider the nursing skills needed by the nurse (RN) and the scientific basis in each part of the nursing process. The assessment is the first step in the nursing process. The assessment phase is where information is gathered; this data will assist in forming diagnosis, outcomes and interventions. Analyzing a patient involves collecting both subjective and objective data. First, the RN needs to collect the data.
Running head: ARTICLE CRITIQUE: ETHICAL PROBLEMS OBSERVED BY Article Critique: Ethical Problems Observed By Student Nurses Article Critique: Ethical Problems Observed By Student Nurses This article was based on a descriptive study conducted to determine nursing students’ observation of ethical problems encountered in their clinical practice. This research article contained a clearly stated title and also an introduction section regarding the study. The purpose of the study was clearly stated within the article: the primary aim was to identify the ethical problems observed or witnessed by students during their clinical practice and the approaches used by nursing to resolve these problems (Erdil &Korkmaz 2009). An open-ended questionnaire was utilized as the data collection method. The questionnaire included an explanatory statement at the beginning of the form stressing the aim of the study and that participation was voluntary (Erdil& Korkmaz 2009).
