Consolidated Learning Assignment

My Learning as a Second Year Nursing Student: A Consolidated Learning Assignment My objective in this paper is to describe two nursing roles I assumed throughout the semester that relate to the term content and outline two program learner outcomes and how I achieved them. Through this, I will analyze and reflect upon my learning experiences from the semester and develop an understanding of how it relates to becoming a competent registered nurse.

Summary of Learning Experiences In term three, the course content focused on community health nursing. I developed a deep understanding of how the population health approach connects to the Population Health Promotion Model because it creates meaningful interventions that address population health

This semester, I personally assumed the role of an educator and the role of a leader. Stamler (2018) defines an educator as one who demonstrates learning strategies, reinforces learning, and evaluates learning with both clients and other health care professionals. The educator is a role I assumed a couple weeks into the semester. Page (2018) defines the role of a leader as someone who influences others to work together to accomplish a specific goal.

I then took the health care plan and planned a client health teaching session where I assumed my role as an educator. In the health teaching session when I was delivering care to the standardized patient, I was promoting health, offering preventative strategies, and offering support. I believe that the model is essential to the way one plans care and give the care because you always have to keep the determinants of health in mind. In addition, for the NURS 288 photo essay project in which I assumed the role of a leader, the main focus of the project was working with the Population Health Promotion Model, so I believe I have a deep understanding on how it works and how it is relevant to a client’s
