Objectives:
Discuss characteristics of successful students.
Assessment Description
Take a moment to explore your new classroom and introduce yourself to your fellow classmates. What are you excited about learning? What do you think will be most challenging?
Discuss why you have decided to complete your BSN at this time, and the concerns you have about completing your baccalaureate degree. Based on the readings in the course resources, what strategies can you implement to be a successful student?
Having two toddlers at home led me to the decision of staying home and caring for them at this time. So I couldn’t have come across a better timing even if I tried. Since I am at home with my babies, I decided to attain my bachelor’s degree. Don’t get me wrong, just cause I’m home does not mean I have free time, but I know if I don’t do it now, I never will. I also want to continue learning since I will not be putting my knowledge to good use with any patients at this time. So here I am now, ready and excited to continue my education.
Some concerns I have about completing this program are time management and writing papers. Without a doubt, I need to start planning my days and schedule time to complete my assignments. This is something that I have always wanted to do but never did time for it. I think that is the best way to be successful throughout my courses. As for writing papers, it has been a while since I did any, but I will try my best and learn from my mistakes as I go. I will also take advantage of the resources available to achieve a good grade in my course.
One strategy I will be implementing from 7 Habits of Highly Effective Nursing Student is becoming proactive. I tend to push until the end because of prioritizing care for my family. I will definitely be doing more delegating around my house. This will help me become more efficient at doing my assignments ahead of time. Therefore allowing enough time to ask questions if need be. This will be less stressful rather than waiting till the end.
List three examples of plagiarism and discuss how plagiarizing as a student affects the integrity of a baccalaureate degree, the public perception of the nursing profession, and evidence-based practice. Describe two things you will do to ensure academic integrity in your work.
According to the Plagiarism Tutorial, “Plagiarism is defined as the use of another person’s thoughts, ideas, words, quotations, or phrases without showing proper acknowledgement of where the information came from”. Three examples of plagiarism are using insufficient citations, copying another person’s work, or using their ideas as your own. I believe that plagiarism affects the integrity of the baccalaureate degree by devaluing the degree because institutions may think of the degree as easy to accomplish by just copying someone else’s work. Patients often look to nurses for guidance, knowledge and recommendations. If we as nurses do not take the time to really learn and understand medical material, how would we be able to teach and guide our patients?
Plagiarism also affects evidence-based practices, because if nurses practice what is considered best practice, but do not take the time to really examine, question and critically think about the outcomes, they may not catch flaws in the system in order to make improvements. It is important to always think and observe how the evidence- based practices are working for our current patients. Two things I will do to ensure academic integrity in my work will be to read and reread my work to make sure I cite and give credit to writings in which I’ve gathered information. I will continue to critically think and include my own thoughts and opinions on evidence based practices.

Define critical thinking and evidence-based practice. Discuss what critical thinking in nursing practice entails and explain why it is important. Discuss the role of critical thinking and evidence-based practice as they relate to patient outcomes.
As mentioned in Critical thinking: the development of an essential skill for nursing students journal, (2014) “Critical thinking according to Scriven and Paul is the mental active process and subtle perception, analysis, synthesis and evaluation of information collected or derived from observation, experience, reflection, reasoning or the communication leading to conviction for action”. Chapter 3 in Dynamics in Nursing Art & Science of Professional Practice defines evidence-based practice as, “the integration of clinical expertise, the most up-to-date research, and patient’s preferences to formulate and implement best practices for patient care”.
Critical thinking is a vital component of any health care professional’s job. The ability of a nurse to think critically is a fundamental aspect of nursing. It gathers all of the patient’s information and decides what will benefit their current medical situation. It allows a nurse to make the most suitable decisions for patients, resulting in the most favorable outcomes.
In order to provide the best care to our patients, it is essential to have the ability to critically think and use current evidence-based practice. Evidence-based practice is information research over time that has been demonstrated to be the most satisfactory patient outcome. The use injunction of critical thinking and evidence-based practice will support the development of effective nursing practices.

Describe how the nursing profession is viewed by the general public. Discuss factors that influence the public’s perception of nursing? Describe ways to educate the general public on the professional nurse’s role and scope of nursing within a changing health care system.
The general public views the nursing profession as a profession of trust and respect, a profession where everyone in it is empathetic and noble. It is also perceived as an essential component in maintaining quality care for patients, especially in chronic illness.
One factor that influences the public’s perception of nursing is culture. For example, in the Chinese culture, the nursing profession is seen as a caregiver with a poor profession, but the most significant factor, especially nowadays, is the media. The media has portrayed the nursing profession as a problematic profession with no skills as a physician assistant.
Ways to educate the general public on the professional nurse’s role and scope of nursing within a changing health care system would be by using the media to portray an independent, knowledgeable, and skilled nurse. Reeducating or educating the new generation of physicians on the nurses’ role and how essential they are to run a smooth health care system. But overall, setting a good example for yourself by having work values and respect for all team members.

How has nursing practice evolved over time? Discuss the key leaders and historical events that have influenced the advancement of nursing, nursing education, and nursing roles that are now part of the contemporary nursing profession.
Example Topic 3 DQ 1 Amber Chavez
The Nursing Practice has evolved significantly over the years. I remember learning about Florence Nightingale during my first semester of nursing school. I thought it was amazing that a woman in the late 1830’s was called, by God, into service and had the ability to make such a huge impact on the profession and nursing as we know it to this day. According to Dynamics in Nursing, “at the time, British hospitals for soldiers did not employ female nurses, she was assigned to be the chief nurse of the hospital in Turkey” (Whitney, S.).
Something as simple as handwashing and keeping sanitary conditions, hugely impacted care and outcomes of soldiers. Technology has impacted nursing. Paper charts made it very difficult for healthcare teams to get on the same level because only one person could view the chart at a time. It would take longer for doctors to see labs. Medications that were not compatible were not easily flagged on a computer screen. IV poles could not monitor the flow of medication administration. Medicine will continue to evolve and in 10 years from now we will have unimaginable advances in healthcare.

Discuss the difference between a nursing conceptual model and a nursing theory.
Select a nursing theory and provide a concise summary of it. Provide an example in nursing practice where the nursing theory you selected would be effective in managing patient care.
In the article, “Using a conceptual model in nursing research-mitigating fatigue in cancer patients” it talks about how these two terms may be used interchangeably, however, a nursing theory will use part of a specific theory to use as the basis of the study. It includes statements where recommendations are made and it shows how the theory is proved or relevant, more so than a conceptual model would. A conceptual model would be considered more so of the organization for the framework of the actual research.
The nursing theory I would like to summarize is the Self-care theory by Dorothea E. Orem. This theory speaks of helping a patient preserve their autonomy when this becomes difficult after having a sickness or being affected by other life changing events. This is meant to help a patient continue having a good quality of life, stability and function on their own. I believe a good example would be with a patient that lost a limb. This patient would most likely want to initially depend on others to help with tasks because they are either scared or simply unfamiliar with what it would entail to live with, say, just one arm. Providing assistance and teaching these patients how to do these tasks one handed, how to get dressed, do self-care such as brushing their teeth or taking a shower, little things that will help them commence their independence are all effective.
