Emily Boyd, BSN, RN on LinkedIn: Career Goals and Objectives Below are the Student Learning Outcomes… (2024)

Career Goals (cont.):Although I have not yet had the opportunity to participate in nursing specific conferences or workshops, I have recently been invited to join the nursing honor society Sigma Theta Tau. In this role, I hope to be able to attend nursing conferences to expand my understanding of my career. I believe that continuous learning is vital to not only my nursing practice, but to nursing in general. Progress cannot be made if we remain content with what we already know. There is always room for improvement and I wholeheartedly believe that every nurse must remain dedicated to always learning and improving their craft. Without learning what I know now, I would not be able to be the budding nurse I am. I am hopeful that I can continue to learn new things each and every day that I can use to make me a better nurse. Baccalaureate Nursing Competencies:The baccalaureate nursing competencies are listed below: 1. Patient-Centered Care2. Quality Improvement3. Safety4. Teamwork and Collaboration5. Informatics6. Evidence-Based Practice7. LeadershipIn each clinical experience I have had, I have been able to practice safe patient-centered care. I take pride on being able to empathize with my patients and their families. I work diligently to respect each individual's choices regarding their care and I work hard to provide care that is culturally competent and enriching. Nursing, as a profession, is able to succeed when nurses, their patients, and other members of the healthcare team are able to connect and work towards goals together. To this end, I have worked to always be a team player and to collaborate closely with other members of the healthcare team. In courses such as evidence-based practice, nursing informatics, and case studies, I have gained knowledge on the importance of exploring the nursing practice. Nursing is never perfect and it is our responsibility to be constantly working to improve the practice. I have had the opportunity to work on quality improvement projects firsthand as a student nurse extern at Houston Methodists. For example, I was able to participate in observing a newly designed "hat" that was designed to reduce heat loss during surgery. Although information on the outcomes of that program are not yet available, I am still grateful for the opportunity to participate in research that could potentially benefit patients.

The Deterioration of the Nursing Profession:A Call for Reform in Nursing EducationThe nursing profession is facing a critical decline, and at the heart of this issue lies the inadequate nurturing of nursing students in colleges in Bangladesh. This decline is multifaceted, stemming from several key deficiencies within the educational system.Lack of Laboratory FacilitiesHands-on practice is essential for nursing students to gain the skills needed for their future careers. Unfortunately, many nursing colleges lack adequate laboratory facilities. This deficiency leaves students unprepared for real-world clinical situations, compromising patient care quality and safety.Outdated Knowledge of TeachersAnother pressing issue is the outdated knowledge of nursing educators. Without continuous professional development, teachers fail to provide students with the latest advancements in medical science and nursing practices. This gap in knowledge transfer prevents students from staying current with evolving healthcare standards and technologies.Absence of Training in Evidence-Based PracticeEvidence-based practice (EBP) is crucial in modern healthcare, ensuring that clinical decisions are based on the best available evidence. However, many nursing teachers are not trained in EBP, resulting in a curriculum that neglects this critical aspect. As a consequence, students graduate without the skills necessary to apply research findings to clinical practice, hindering their ability to deliver high-quality care.Lack of Professional Manner EducationProfessionalism is a cornerstone of nursing, encompassing ethics, communication, and conduct. Yet, nursing colleges often fail to instill these values in their students. Without proper education in professional manners, new nurses may struggle with interpersonal skills and ethical dilemmas, impacting their effectiveness and the trust patients place in them.No Career Long-Term Vision by TeachersA long-term vision is essential for career development. Nursing educators should guide students not only academically but also in planning their career trajectories. Unfortunately, many teachers do not emphasize career planning, leaving students without a clear path for advancement. This lack of guidance can lead to job dissatisfaction and high turnover rates among nurses.By nurturing nursing students appropriately, we can rebuild the foundation of the nursing profession, ensuring a future where nurses are well-prepared, knowledgeable, and professional, ready to meet the challenges of the healthcare environment.

Regarding this, continuous learning from practical hands-on experiences can help better to enable me utilising myself awareness and the passion for helping other in an effective way.

Immersive simulation allows students to practice critical skills, manage complex patient scenarios, and make clinical decisions in a safe and supportive environment, thereby enhancing their confidence and competence upon entering the workforce.Integrating interprofessional education into nursing curricula to prepare students for collaborative practice in today's team-based environment. By engaging with students from other healthcare disciplines, such as medicine, nursing students gain a deeper understanding of the responsibilities of other members of the healthcare team, develop communication and teamwork skills, and learn to provide patient-centered care within a multidisciplinary context.Strengthening mentorship and preceptorship programs to provide new graduates with the support and guidance they need during the transition to practice. By pairing students with experienced nurses who serve as mentors and preceptors, nursing education programs can facilitate the transfer of knowledge, promote professional growth and development, and help ease the transition from student to practitioner.Incorporating digital health tools into nursing education to prepare students for the increasingly technology-driven nature of modern healthcare delivery.

Nursing Theories are actually very informational!!Yes, I know a lot of you are saying, “Well duh of course they are!”But when we were in nursing school the first time around, learning about nursing theory was a long and treacherous course to study, learn, apply, and test over. (Or, at least it was for me.)Recently, I had to write a paper for my MSN degree on nursing theory, and I went with Hildegard Peplau’s Theory on Interpersonal Relations. While researching her theory, I found out that it was an expansion of Harry Stack Sullivan's Theory on Interpersonal Relations; she redefined it and implemented it in nursing. Her theory lists 7 roles, The Stranger, Resource, Teaching, Counseling, Surrogate, Active Leadership, and Technical Expert. It all clicked while I was reading about the different roles and examining my everyday practices. I could see each role of her theory. Stranger – When we first meet the patient. Resource – Nurse answers questionsTeaching – Provide instruction and training.Counseling – Assists patient in understanding what is going on. Surrogate – Advocating for the patient. Active Leadership – Encourages the patient to take control of their health and meet goals. Technical Expert – Actual Care provided to the patient. Peplau had defined, literally, how we interact with every patient we ever encounter. Not my most interesting post ever, but I wanted to share anyway because I found it interesting and thought others might also. Do any of you have a theory you find interesting? Drop it in the comments, I would love to learn about it.
