NR 599 Week 2 Midweek Comprehension Questions

As I personally progress in this course and program, I expect my competencies to shift perspectives from a RN to an NP role. The way my brain currently operates is based on a RN outlook on nursing. I am beginning to see the differences in the APN role compared to the role that I am in now. While I do believe a lot of my competency that I learned from being a nurse will translate over to my new role as a NP my mind will shift towards the provider role to better assist my patients needs as a NP.

I expect to gain knowledge and experience, as well as build upon the knowledge I currently possess. Healthcare is continuously evolving which means I must be dedicated to lifelong learning remain current with technologies. I have already learned about technologies that I did not know existed and have yet to encounter and know I have much more to learn about what is already out there, let alone what the future will bring. Time for learning will be one barrier for me, however, I understand that learning is a part of the role and am committed to continuing my education.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on competencies. Several nursing informatics competency lists are available, and despite some variations in domains of nursing informatics competency and indicator statements, they mostly share common themes. A consensus on all competencies is unlikely. Regardless, your individual improvement goals should be deliberate, reflect your professional endeavors, and be forward focused on your future role as a provider. In this course, we will focus on NI competencies that are most appropriate to advanced nursing practice. Keep looking forward and finding ways to improve your skills!

This week’s lesson and graded assignment are opportunities for you to evaluate your own competencies in order to better understand nursing informatics and enhance your knowledge and skills. Competency assessment is an on-going process. You might be quick to assume that your competencies will always increase. Be mindful of barriers and challenges as you reflect on this topic. As you progress in this course, in the program, and beyond, how might you expect your competencies to evolve? Provide a brief response (100 words or less)

As I continue through the FNP course I expect my competencies to increase in the areas of advanced practice nursing knowledge, leadership, pharmaceuticals and a more critical problem solving approach to acute and long-term patient care outcomes. I do feel that I have some barriers and challenges with bedside care in hospital settings as my experience in more critical and acute settings is limited. I have mostly been in home healthcare, community based nursing and hospice home care which has a very different approach to health outcomes and comes with limitations of intensive treatments available for more intensive measures. As far as informatics I feel that I have again knowledge of main information systems and records on the epic system, however in home care setting and my current position electronic tracking is not present and everything is still on paper. I am able to appreciate good informatics systems that are in place and how it can improve a persons overall health/wellness outcomes and can assist with advocacy to improving systems that are not up to par.

APA Format and Writing Quality

Familiarize yourself with APA format and practice using it correctly. It is used for most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for APA paper templates, citation examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or absence of APA format (if required).

Cite all sources of information! When in doubt, cite the source. Paraphrasing also requires a citation.

I highly recommend using the APA Publication Manual, 6th edition.

Use of Direct Quotes

I discourage overutilization of direct quotes in DQs and assignments at the Masters’ level and deduct points accordingly.

As Masters’ level students, it is important that you be able to critically analyze and interpret information from journal articles and other resources. Simply restating someone else’s words does not demonstrate an understanding of the content or critical analysis of the content.

It is best to paraphrase content and cite your source.

LopesWrite Policy

For assignments that need to be submitted to LopesWrite, please be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE you do a “final submit” to me.

Once you have received your report, please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that can easily be fixed. Take the extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off for these mistakes.

Review your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not paraphrase well enough? Is your paper made up of someone else’s thoughts more than your own?

Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for tips on improving your paper and SI score.

Late Policy

The university’s policy on late assignments is 10% penalty PER DAY LATE. This also applies to late DQ replies.

Please communicate with me if you anticipate having to submit an assignment late. I am happy to be flexible, with advance notice. We may be able to work out an extension based on extenuating circumstances.

If you do not communicate with me before submitting an assignment late, the GCU late policy will be in effect.

I do not accept assignments that are two or more weeks late unless we have worked out an extension.

As per policy, no assignments are accepted after the last day of class. Any assignment submitted after midnight on the last day of class will not be accepted for grading.

Communication

Communication is so very important. There are multiple ways to communicate with me:

Questions to Instructor Forum: This is a great place to ask course content or assignment questions. If you have a question, there is a good chance one of your peers does as well. This is a public forum for the class.

Individual Forum: This is a private forum to ask me questions or send me messages. This will be checked at least once every 24 hours.
