Write a journal entry of 750-1,500 words on the subject of power, including the following:

Practicum Activities Reflection: Provide observations and thoughts on the activities in your practicum setting during Topics 1 and 2.

Application of Leadership: Professional responsibility and power, authenticity, integrity, and emotional intelligence are key factors of multiple leadership styles. Discuss how you have observed your preceptor or your nurse leader in your professional setting integrate these elements into leadership styles.

Practicum Project Preparation: What are your ideas for your practicum project? How does this project refine and build skills related to your career goals?

Leadership Video Reflection: Reflect on at least two things you learned from the “Servant Leadership – Issue of Power” video.

Journaling provides a valuable tool for recording, reflecting on, and reviewing your learning. This approach provides an opportunity for you to “connect the dots” and observe the relationships between and among activities, interactions, and outcomes.

Unlike a personal journal of thoughts and feelings, this leadership journal is a record of your activities, assessments, and learning related to this academic experience.

Journal entries should include a record of the number of hours spent with your nurse leader each week.
Write a journal entry of 750-1,500 words on the subject of purpose, including the following:

Practicum Activities Reflection: Provide observations and thoughts on the activities in your practicum during Weeks 5, 6, & 7.

Application of Leadership: Describe your preceptor’s leadership style. How does this affect the people they lead. Do staff members express feelings of support and helpfulness? Are there examples of dictating rather than leading? Does the leader say or do things designed to “build up” staff or have you seen missed opportunities?

Practicum Project Preparation: Describe your communication plan for your stakeholders. Who will be notified of what and at what time? What education is needed and for whom?

Leadership Video Reflection: Reflect on at least two things you learned from the “Servant Leadership – Issue of Rule” video.

Please use the “Leadership Journal Template” to complete this assignment.

This course offers opportunities for learners to begin integrating the role of the advanced nurse and the advanced educator based on the NLN competencies into their professional behaviors. Direct Care Clinical (50 hours) and Educational Practicum (100 hours) experiences totaling 150 hours. Practicum/field experience hours: 150. Prerequisite: Successful completion of all previous coursework in the program.

NUR 646E Topic 1: Nurse Educator Competency 1 – Strategies to Facilitate Learning Example Approach Assignment

Part 1 Evidence-Based Teaching Strategies

Teachers worldwide strive to give their best to their learners by using various teaching strategies that enable them to deliver the content appropriately. Similarly, teaching nursing students requires the implementation of various strategies to make learners understand and later serve the community (Farzi et al., 2018). Among the various teaching strategies, the use of pretesting, show and tell, and productive group work are my favorites. These strategies have pros and cons to be addressed hereafter.

Pretesting is a teaching strategy that teachers use to assess the level of knowledge of learners before teaching them. A teacher uses a set of questions about a topic or a course and administers them to learners who will provide the feedback (Horntvedt et al., 2018). The feedback helps the teacher understand the learners’ needs, understand their misunderstandings, and help the teacher devise an appropriate plan to deliver the contents in a way learners understand. However, teachers should be wary of using identical pretests and post-tests as this can impair students’ creative thinking while limiting students’ input.

Productive group work is a strategy that allows learners to share knowledge with each other and improve learning and understanding (Horntvedt et al., 2018). Learners are allowed to contribute to each other and help to solve difficult tasks. Allowing immediate neighbors to discuss questions in large classes can help achieve group work. However, proper group organization is paramount and close supervision is necessary as some learners may opt to leave the tasks to a selected few, thus impairing learning.

Finally, the show-and-tell model is achieved by efforts from both learners and teachers. Teachers provide explicit verbal instructions and meaningful visuals (Roshni & Rahim, 2020). The explanation dictates what students should understand, while demonstrations acquit learners with skills to demonstrate. This model helps in the retention of knowledge while allowing creativity (Roshni & Rahim, 2020). However, some learners may be slow to grasp the knowledge immediately, affecting their overall performance.

Part 2

            The concept of preceptorship, otherwise nurse educator, is an old practice. Nurse educators are tasked with a lot of responsibilities, among them is to provide a safe environment for students. Nurse educators prepare graduates for the ever-changing, complex healthcare environment by using up-to-date information and building close relationships with learners. Furthermore, they constantly communicate, meet learners, and motivate them to foster a safe environment that encourages learning while bridging the gap between the realism of the workplace and the idealism of academic requirements (Coffey & White, 2019). Grand Canyon University‘s (GCU) mission integrates with the Christian worldview’s values to provide a positive environment that enhances learners` innovation and acquisition of skills and values of being good servant leaders (GCU, 2021). Incorporating faith with compassion and kindness in the teaching curriculum allows learners to be mindful of the needs of others while working with preceptors to prepare for future practices. Furthermore, learners appreciate the value of integrity, which is essential in nursing in the nursing profession.

Because nurses work in a difficult work environment that is often faced with a conflict between choosing civilized and uncivilized behaviors, integrity is paramount in such circumstances. Nurse educators are required to train nurses with integrity and acquire skills to face challenges that may arise in future practice (Coffey & White, 2019). The use of simulated situations when teaching nurses is an integral part of preparing nurses to adopt various skills, including teamwork and communication, that are essential in future practice.

The clinical setting is another environment that requires nurse educators to provide a positive learning experience. Despite the challenges in clinical settings, preceptors can create a memorable learning experience for learners in various ways. Adopting simulation, practicing clinical scenarios, and use of reflective journaling are some of the methods that can be used to facilitate learning. Clinical simulations and practical scenarios allow learners to think critically, reflect on the situation, and make decisions (Izadi et al., 2020). These methods are as effective as interacting with the real clinical situation. Likewise, reflective journaling allows learners to think critically and reason appropriately and allows teachers to understand the thought processes of learners.

NUR-646E_Syllabus

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CLASS

  • Discussion Questions (DQ)

Initial responses to the DQ should address all components of the questions asked, including a minimum of one scholarly source, and be at least 250 words. Successful responses are substantive (i.e., add something new to the discussion, engage others in the discussion, well-developed idea) and include at least one scholarly source. One or two-sentence responses, simple statements of agreement or “good post,” and responses that are off-topic will not count as substantive. Substantive responses should be at least 150 words. I encourage you to incorporate the readings from the week (as applicable) into your responses.

  • Weekly Participation

Your initial responses to the mandatory DQ do not count toward participation and are graded separately. In addition to the DQ responses, you must post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate days, for a total of three replies. Participation posts do not require a scholarly source/citation (unless you cite someone else’s work). Part of your weekly participation includes viewing the weekly announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments. These announcements are made to ensure you understand everything that is due during the week.

  • APA Format and Writing Quality

Familiarize yourself with the 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 Loud-cloud 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, 7th edition.

  • Use of Direct Quotes

I discourage over-utilization of direct quotes in DQs and assignments at the Master’s 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 Lopes Write, 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 Loud-cloud for tips on improving your paper and SI score.

  • Late Policy

The university’s policy on late assignments is a 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.

NUR-643E Advanced Health Assessment for Nurse Educators Week 1 Discussion

DQ1

You are working with a nursing student who is introducing herself to a Native American patient to establish rapport. The nursing student is trying to make eye contact and puts her hand on the shoulder of the patient to get his attention. What situation could arise with this approach? How would you handle this situation? Defend rationale with references.

DQ2

While completing a health assessment, you notice that there are indications that the patient may have been cutting herself. You inquire about the marks and she indicates that she scratched her wrist when she tried to break her fall. How do you handle this information? How can you incorporate your Christian worldview to help in providing quality care? What are the key elements to accurately obtaining the needed information for effective treatment?

DQ2

The goal of a complete musculoskeletal assessment is to detect risk factors, potential problems, or musculoskeletal dysfunction early and then to plan appropriate interventions, including teaching health promotion and disease prevention, and implementing treatment measures. By doing so, you can play a significant role in preventing pain and dysfunction in your patients. Describe a plan to provide patient teaching that incorporates health promotion and disease prevention. Provide rationale.
