A.
1. Create a professional mission statement (suggested length of
1 paragraph) that includes:
- A representation of your career goals, your aspirations, and
how you want to move forward with your career.
I aim to deliver compassionate, excellent, and honest care to the
best of my abilities. I am in charge of providing exceptional
treatment and services that are efficient, accessible, and pleasant,
as well as strategically concentrating on training to maintain a high
level of care. Compassion is a component of emotional intelligence
and is fundamental to nursing (Lown, 2018). I believe developing
compassionate attitudes among employees, treating all patients
equally, and improving the workplace environment and society's
well-being are critical. My nursing purpose is to be transparent and
devoted to the organization and the people I serve by following
values and core beliefs and making wise decisions. I aspire to
become a professional public health nurse. I want to continue
working in procedural areas such as GI lab and Cath lab to obtain
firsthand information from my surrounding community and analyze
demographics before pursuing a career in public health nursing.
- An overview of where you would like to focus your time and
energies within the profession.
Essentially, I want to devote my time and energy to community
health.
- Reflect on how your professional mission statement will help
guide you throughout your nursing career.
My professional mission statement will act as an oath and a
reflection of why I became a nurse, particularly during times of
burnout; it will serve as a reminder of my purpose.
2. Complete a professional summary (suggested length of 3-4
pages) that includes:
a. Explain how the completed paper tasks represent you as a
learner and a healthcare professional
The completed paper tasks represent me as a learner in the sense
of being a researcher, finding information, making sense of it, and
developing logic in healthcare practice. For instance, applying
evidence-based practice (EBP) is fundamental to enhancing care
quality. EBP integrates research findings and patient care
information with professional expertise, patient preferences, and
values. Thus, as a healthcare professional, I can articulate and use
the acquired knowledge in therapeutic settings.
b. Discuss how the completed paper tasks represent your
professional strengths.
The completed paper tasks represent my professional strengths,
such as thoroughness, organization, strategy development, and
objectivity. Moreover, a paper task for C304 that focused on
, professional roles and values received an award. I am willing to
learn more and enhance my abilities and expertise; concepts
fascinate me. One of my distinguishing features is that I am an
arranger who can organize, but I also demonstrate a high level of
flexibility, which complements this skill. Organizing abilities will aid
in executing my team's tasks and obligations. Finally, I am an
achiever focused on task accomplishment, effective strategy
formulation, and persistent demand for better performance.
c. Discuss challenges you encountered during the progression
of your program.
It was challenging to meet deadlines without extending course end
dates while balancing a job and home life as the program
progressed. Another difficulty was collecting interviews for the
Community Health time log since some people would not provide
me their time of day or were too busy for an interview.
Explain how you overcame these challenges.
Today's healthcare professionals should be courageous,
imaginative, and psychologically strong. Therefore, I prioritize
strengthening my time management abilities to reduce stress and
efficiently manage my schedule. According to Lewis et al. (2019),
students in the nursing degree commonly struggle with study skills,
time management, and critical thinking. A precise day plan will
enable me to prioritize duties, appropriately divide time committed
to each objective, and schedule additional activities for self-
reflection and training. I also aim to enhance my communication
skills because communication with people is critical in the clinical
setting. Hence, I am learning to appreciate engaging with others
and connecting with my patients and coworkers. Working in a
health care setting necessitates efficient communication to provide
high-quality care.
d. Explain HOW your coursework helped you meet EACH of the
9 nursing program outcomes (where in the program it was
tied to)
BSN PROGRAM OUTCOMES
The WGU Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing Program Graduate Will:
1. Communicate effectively in oral, written, interpersonal and
electronic modes.
C820: Professional leadership and communication for a healthcare
task assisted me in practicing active listening, pausing, and
reflecting on preventing emotionally affected reactions. I
have learned more in-depth through interpreting many types of
clues, such as physical: body language, and verbal. Additionally, I
have discovered oral and written professional communication.
2. Use clinical reasoning to provide safe, quality, nursing care based
on the best available evidence and ethical principles.
