Woolley (2010) suggest that the primary purpose of master's level education in the field of marriage, couple and family therapy is primarily served in two functions, being to train students for independent practice using the unique relationally oriented, contextually sensitive healing models and methods of the field of marriage and family therapy. The second purpose has been to prepare students for doctoral work. According to Woolley (2010), it can also be noted that other reasons why higher learning is needed is to prepare students for careers in teaching, training, and supervising for the next generation. Another focus of doctoral education has been to prepare students for
Novice nurses took a task-focussed approach to weaning, treating it as a ‘medical’ technology transferred to them from doctors. Expert nurses used technology differently and saw its potential to become a ‘nursing technology’.
The methodology of lecturing in higher education was very different from what I knew; the lecturer delivers the key points and it is left to me to engage in detailed research to make sense of what has been taught in class. Independent study is now vital; I was expected to take reasonable responsibility for my learning. Autonomy was not only important in other to keep up with my studies but I also realised that as a future healthcare practitioner I had to be personally responsible and accountable for safe and compassionate evidence-based practice (NMC- Professional value). Time management was another major challenge, fitting university work around my everyday life and looking after my young family, but I quickly converted this challenges to a strength as I found out organisation was crucial to succeeding. Financially, things were also challenging living off bursary but I intend to work during the
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). The relationship between mentor and student are very important to the learning experience (Davidson 2005). It is important for the mentor to introduce and orientate the students to the placement environment, explain emergency procedure according to local policy and integrate them into the team of staff within the first 24 hours (RNC 2007). In the case of the students used as an example here an initial introduction to the department and its procedures and key members were held within the first 24 and the initial Interviews within the first 48 hours. The goal of the initial interview is to determine the learning needs of the student while encouraging self-directed learning and achievable goal setting following the principles of Andragogy (Knowles 1990).
Discourse Community Hospitals are very busy places with staff members that have great responsibilities. Patient’s trust and well-being is in the doctor’s and nurse’s hands. The doctors and nurses must go through years of schooling in order to be capable to work in the hospital setting. Continued learning is also required to maintain the most recent and up to date medical advances in the field. Every hospital has its own set of values in which the staff must abide by.
Comparison Interview question 1: How would you describe your role in your current position and your educational preparation for this role? Both interviewees gave a brief description of their responsibilities. Interviewee #1 who holds a MSN is director of Education, gave a brief description of her job and how her holding a MSN in nursing education, prepared her for her role by showing her the important need of evaluating and providing appropriate educational opportunities to the staff. She felt her education prepared her to evaluate these needs and to form and offer programs appropriate to meet the needs of the staff and patients. Interviewee #2 who holds a BSN, currently working on MBA in healthcare administration, went into more detailing
The results that are achieved are depending on the design elements that will support the success with rooms designed and dedicated to the patient and his or her family. Clinics are now designing patient environments to accommodate the critically ill or disabled patients; this student will attempt to incorporate specialized design into the clinic if the floor plan allows (Pub med, 2006). Health care services are challenging because of the nature of the patient flow. At each stage of the process the patient will experience waiting time; this is a problematic area of the health care operations. This must be managed carefully in both the waiting times and also the patient’s perception of waiting, this student will provide optimal solutions to this in facility planning part two (Healthcare Services Operations,
Discuss with close reference to the text. In the book ‘Cosi’, written by Louis Nowra, main character Lewis learns numerous things from working with the patients at the mental institution. The main things Lewis learns from working in the mental institution is to make his own decisions, and the importance of love. The two main ways that Nowra used to achieve this, was one, being the theme
First of all, it is important to know the meaning of a scholar practitioner. The practitioner–scholar model, often called the Vail model, is a training model for graduate programs that is focused on clinical practice (www.wikipedia.org). It was developed primarily to train clinical psychologists, but has been adapted by other specialty programs such as business, public health, and law. According to this model, a psychologist is a scholar, a consumer of research, and a highly trained professional practitioner who applies knowledge and techniques to solve problems of clients (Practitioner–scholar model. (2013, October 29).My understanding of what it means to now to be a scholar practitioner in health care administration has changed to a better understanding.
This reflective essay will discuss a role play activity within an education setting in which I participated in as the narrator and the Ward manager in the Accident emergency unit. This reflection will be centred on a multidisciplinary team (MDT) meeting. The aim of this reflection is to critically reflect on the case scenario activity, as well as to identifying my further learning needs that will provide evidence based care in the further. In order to structure this reflection I have chosen to use Driscoll’s model (driscoll, 2000). Any names that are used will be changed to maintain confidentiality in line with the, Nursing and Midwifery Council code of practise (NMC, 2008).
