Bloom’s Taxonomy and the Nursing Process Michelle Robinson NUR/427 October 21, 2013 Myra Ball Bloom’s Taxonomy and the Nursing Process A patient’s participation in care and supervision of a chronic disease can promote better outcomes and a healthier life. Health care professionals are taught and encouraged to involve patients with their treatment decisions and plan of care. Clark (2013) stated, “Bloom’s Taxonomy was created in 1956 under the leadership of educational psychologist Dr. Benjamin Bloom in order to promote higher forms of thinking in education” (1). The taxonomy includes cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains that can be incorporated with the assessment and development of teaching material specific to a patient’s needs. Patient education should be personalized and suitable to the educational level of the patient, treatment, and management requirements of the diagnosed disease to promote active involvement from the patient in their plan of care.
Most importantly though, is probably the fact that I borrowed ideas from that class and from Brenner’s model and have instituted parts into the orientation of new staff-members within my current department. We have shared governance groups in our and I have the responsibility in my group of helping with orientation with our educator. I have a diagram drawn up for all the new orientees of qualities “novice” recovery nurses have all the way to expert. It is only for a reference while working in the department to evaluate our personal attributes and skills. I have found reflecting on this I have seen days when I do not perform to my potential and days where I’m happy to see skills I have developed progressing my practice.
Assessment and Accountability in Mentorship Introduction A mentor is according to the Nursing and Midwifery Council a Nurse or Midwife that is responsible and accountable for facilitating learning, assessing performance and producing evidence of achievement or non- achievement of students in practice (NMC 2006). As the main aim in its Code (NMC 2008) is to protect the health of the public and the delivery of high quality care the mentors are established as “gate-keepers” to the professional register. To be able to carry out this task, the NMC further indentifies eight key skills in its' Standards that a nurse needs to develop in order to become a mentor and support learning and assessment in practice. This assignment aims to explain the terms of assessment and accountability as applicable to a Nurse mentor on the example of two first year adult branch nursing students in a Dermatology department. Main Body The clinical environment with its potentially unpleasant new experiences can have a big impact on a student (White and Ewan 1991cited in Stuart 2007).
In my studies associated with this course, I have gained a greater appreciation for the history and evolution of our profession. I have come to appreciate that each professional nurse has an obligation to advocate for our professional practice as a means to ensure optimal patient care and outcomes. By sharing our specialized knowledge and understanding of healthcare and patient needs with politicians and legislators, we can shape the direction of legislative change and reform. I have also learned a great deal regarding nursing jurisprudence. As a young RN, I worked in a critical care setting.
Evidence-based practice is a new concept introduced in the nursing education and will take time to reach every nurse in the field. EBP is a learned set of skills that includes knowledge of information and retrieval and what research evidence is to be used and implemented in to the practice of nursing. By beginning early on in the educational path the process of EBP it makes it easy to integrate the information that was previously learned. This will lead to the implementing of EBP more into the working nursing

A Reflection on the Nurse Expertise Self-Report Scale Norma Jacquez HCS/350 October 17, 2013 A Reflection on the Nurse Expertise Self-Report Scale According to the results of the Nursing Expertise Self Report Scale, my responses represent an Expert level nurse. I have been a nurse now for a little over thirty years. I hold a position as a Clinical Care Coordinator or Charge Nurse at Eisenhower Medical Centers Neurological unit, in the care of the stroke patient.
