Assignment 1.1 Name: Claire Moyle Roles, Responsibilities And Boundaries When Teaching I am a Beauty Therapy Tutor hoping to teach a variety of subjects within the Beauty Therapy sector. My learners may from a wide range of ages, occupations and backgrounds. The Training Cycle Identifying Training Needs Evaluate Training Outcomes Plan & Design Training Deliver Training Identifying Training Needs My role and responsibilities as a tutor is to identify learners previous experience ‘if any’ and what they are aiming to gain from the course. I would do this in the form of initial assessments. Each learner will undertake a series of tests to evaluate their different learning needs and learning styles.
There are various reasons why it is important to identify and meet the individual needs of learners. To form an accurate student-centred individual learning plan (ILP) is necessary to help the student focus on her achievement aims on the course, small steps as to how she will do this, and what help might be needed. This can also inform and clarify student and teacher expectations of each other on the course. The teacher can find out what motivates the learner, for example, a strong desire to progress to a midwifery course following a HNC in Health and Social Care (H&SC). So any learning plan for this student would be centred around this goal, especially self-directed learning and placement provision.

Essay 1: The Novice Nurse Case Study Ethical Considerations in Healthcare June, 2014 Nurses play a vital role in the healthcare system. They make up the greatest number of hospital staff (Siela, Twibell & Keller, 2009). In the clinical setting, they are the ones who provide the majority of care to their patients. Nurses’ care for and advocate for the patients they serve. In addition to the formalized education they receive in nursing school, there is also much to learn when they transition from student to professional nurse.
Three years later she completed the baccalaureate nursing program with honors. She took her first nursing job at the University of Kentucky Hospital working in the trauma intensive care unit. By working in this critical care setting, she learned an immense deal of knowledge, critical thinking, collaboration, and the necessary decision making skills to become a more effective nurse. In this position, she also learned that the patients look up to the nurse not only to treat them but to educate and provide support to them and their family members. After being a nurse and working in this area for six years, she then contemplated of taking her education to the next level.
New Grads’ Program in Nursing Summary of the Article I chose the article, “Nurse residency program empowers new grads,” written by a Registered Nurse, Taylor Keasler, about the orientation program for new grad nurses in University of Tennessee Medical Center that she had participated on. According to Taylor, the goal of the program is to bring together the new grad nurses form different schools, with varying degrees and backgrounds into a group that will provide a solid foundation to be able to successfully incorporate knowledge and skills into the nursing field (Keasler, 2013). She elaborated the components of the program such as medical-surgical orientation guidebook, Basic Knowledge Assessment Tool (BKAT); medical-surgical,
Test-taking, career-oriented, learning behavior, decision-making, and critical thinking are all areas in which I have strengths. I was able to apply this to my theory through the way in which class is conducted, and the students are assessed. DI and inclusion push for children to embrace their learning behavior and styles while helping them develop deeper thinking processes. Creating success and higher levels of thinking allow children to become goal orientated which will help them when it is time to choose career paths of their own. In my theory, an effective teacher must also be willing to change and adapt lesson plans based on the needs of the students.
Most Associate degree nurse will continue to work at the bedside during their career as a nurse. A Bachelor degree nurse is an advanced degree and also allows for the nurse to work at the bedside but also allows the nurse to work in a much broader field in nursing. More education prepares a nurse many more options during their career. A Bachelor’s degree nurse can move to managerial positions that allow the nurse to supervise the entire wing of a hospital as a Director of Nursing for example. During nursing school the instructors always tell the students someday it may be a requirement for nurses to hold a bachelor’s degree to maintain a Registered Nurse position.
I had the opportunity to interview a registered nurse who I have trained in the past when she was new to our department, but now I admire and view as a mentor. My interview was with a forty-two year veteran diploma graduate registered nurse who is but one year from retirement. She has worked at several different hospitals and in several different departments through out her career. I enjoyed hearing her experiences and related to a lot of the past and could understand what nursing has been, how it has moved forward, and what the future might hold for nurses. A time ago nursing was viewed as a “woman’s job”.
Ms Orem began her career with a nursing diploma from the Providence Hospital School of Nursing in Washington D.C. sometime in the 1930’s. Ms Orem continued her education until she received her Master’s Degree in 1945. During this time she worked in the operating room, emergency room, private duty setting, pediatric and medical nursing units and eventually became a director. She became interested in improving the quality of nursing in general hospitals in her state and subsequently became a consultant to the office of education and it was during this time period that she developed and published Orem’s Self Care Deficit Theory for the first time in the “Guides for Developing Curricula for the Education of Practical Nurses”. In 1976 she received an Honorary Doctorate of Science from Georgetown University.
