from Week 8: Collaboration Café
Reflect on your learning experience. Which concepts stood out to you
and made an impact? How do you envision using the concepts
learned in this course in your future nursing practice as a master’s
prepared nurse?
The concept that stood out for me and impacted me was “Week 2:
Leadership Skills and Styles in Advanced Nursing Practice.” This concept is
incredibly challenging for me because I am a very direct person, and people
are not comfortable with directness. The “Leading self” section of the course
was eye-opening. Self-awareness and self- reflection are my strengths, but
self-care and emotional intelligence are areas in my nursing career that need
extensive improvement. Poor physical and mental health, depression,
unhealthy eating patterns, weight gain, moral negativity, physical injuries at
work, lack of job satisfaction, and moral negativity are the most common
health issues in the nursing profession when the nurse is burned out
(Williams et al., 2022). I have learned in this course the importance of taking
care of myself. A nurse who is burnt
out at work is not able to support the staff or give quality care to the
patients. This course showed me the importance of having a positive
balance in my nursing career and in my personal life.
Describe how course learning activities and assignments will help you
achieve Program Outcome 5: Advocates for positive health outcomes
through compassionate, evidence-based, collaborative advanced
nursing practice. (Extraordinary Nursing).
The activities in this course were informative, and I learned many
strategies that will be very helpful in my nursing career as an advanced
nurse practitioner. Patient advocacy can help the patient maintain good
health, save lives, and increase the quality of care. Nurse advocacy is an
important element in the nurse’s daily practice (Nsiah et al., 2019). The
activities that I enjoyed the most were the ones that allowed me to combine
nursing knowledge, evidence-based practice, and creativity. Creating an
infographic poster with Canva and utilizing Kaltura to record power points
was a great experience. I learned that infographic posters can help me
develop care plans and strategies that the patient can use as a guide to
achieve a positive outcome. Also, I was able to clearly understand areas of
my career that I need to improve to be an effective nurse leader.
This course was a positive experience, and I look forward to implementing all
my learning.
