Recommended: Ways of communication in nursing

Time goes by quickly. I cannot believe that this is the last course in this program. It has been a delightful, diligent, and knowledge loaded journey for me. I have many "aha's" through the RN-BSN program, but will limit it to three. The first was learning the transition to professional nursing. It explained the RN-BSN roles as a management, delegator, and a supervisor. I have been a better supervisor because of the knowledge I gained in the transition to professional nursing. As I go through the program, I feel more prepared than ever to take up a managerial role and my communication skill has improved . I no longer feel insecure about task delegation. I have memorized the five rights of delegation....the right task, the right circumstances,

  • Case Study Of The RN-BSN Journey

    1241 Words  | 3 Pages

    As a new nurse that was approaching my first anniversary of employment, I made the very tough decision to return to school to obtain my BSN. I began the RN-BSN program with the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) in August of 2015. My life was already very busy, along with having two children, a husband, and reentering the workforce in a new field, I decided that taking one course at a time would work best for my busy schedule. My focus was to take as many classes as possible, without breaks by following the start dates with the UTA program. There were pre-requisite classes from other schools that I overlapped with the RN-BSN classes because I wanted to complete the program as quickly as possible.

    I wish I had enrolled in the RN-BSN program sooner than this time. Before the RN-BSN program, I did not fully understand my role as a nurse. I had no knowledge of the functions of the Nurse Practice Act and the Board of Nursing. Nursing research was just a part of nursing curriculum. I have no prior knowledge of the evidence based practice. However, my trajectory into the RN-BSN program changed all that. I feel more confident and equipped as a professional nurse now than before. My two specific examples of change in behavior as a result of RN-BSN program are, one, changes in my skills and two, attitudes toward family dynamics, values and believes. The complexities of nursing practice, healthcare policies, and patients' needs lead to the

As graduation comes near, I feel like I have learned so much more from being on this unit alone. I feel like I could take care of a couple of patients by myself, I improved on my medications, educating the patient, and providing adequate care for each and every patient. While on the unit, I got the chance to ask a variety of nurses different questions about their transition from new graduate to register nurse. I asked them why they choose this floor to work on , and a majority of them said because they precept on this floor and feel in love with neuro and the staff here.

  • Importance Of Evidence Based Practice In Nursing

    1286 Words  | 3 Pages

    As a nurse supervisor, I am responsible for overseeing the nurses on my shift. I must be able to evaluate each nurse and the care they provide ensuring that the best possible care is being provided. I must ensure that company policies and procedures are being followed. I am responsible for overseeing patient care to assist the staff with each patient when needed. The BSN program will teach me how to be a better manager and improve the nursing skills I already use in my practice. The BSN program will teach the use of quality improvement measures, outcomes, safety, and skills in working within organizations and communities (AACN, 2008). Another reason I am pursuing a BSN degree, so in the future, I will have more job opportunities. In today’s nursing field, more employers are requiring a BSN to be considered for management positions. A BSN will also provide opportunities to explore more areas of the nursing field. Continuing education allows me to grow and gain different experiences that will enhance the core values of nursing. Education will help balance evidence based practice, skills, and knowledge with compassion and professional confidence to be a caring nurse. Education can reinforce the moral, ethical, and legal conduct nurses should

    As I look back upon this course, and the RN-BSN completion program as a whole, I am reminded that this is a process. There will be challenges and victories. I feel that each is meant to teach me something during this journey toward furthering my nursing education. I have always thought that as nurse, it was important to keep current with evidence based research, but returning to the formal school setting was a big step. As stated by Hood (2010) “A professional nurse should expect to commit to a life of continuous learning, growth, and development” (p.30). I take the responsibility of being a lifelong learner and commitment to excellence as a nurse very seriously. I am grateful to be able to say with each class in this program, my skills and knowledge base grow deeper.

    It’s funny how life can change in the blink of an eye; one day you are a normal teenager and the next you become the sole caregiver to your mother who has terminal cancer. For most, other family members are there to help, but in my case, I was alone. The summer consisted of a daily routine; we woke up, made breakfast, got dressed, and drove to doctor’s appointments. I remember waking up late one morning and not only did my routine for the day change, but also my life. That morning I ran downstairs to see if my mother was ready to go and I stumbled upon her silently muttering to herself in the mirror. I could tell she was frustrated, but I was unsure of the reason, and quite honestly afraid to hear her answer. When she turned to me to ask if
