collaborative learning community The research indicated that professional growth could only be efficient and effective if it contains collaboration or in other terms, teamwork (Marcus, 2010; Desimone, 2011; Attard, 2012; Williams, 2013). Team Work has been used in many diverse methods directing to different kinds of collaboration among teachers (Forte&Flores,2014). While collaborating, teachers can interchange concepts or experiences, develop, and debate new facilities, get a response from participants, and give each other just backing. Teamwork and collaboration have been viewed as a remedy to many challenges in learning concerning the value of learning and training (Levine&Marcus,2010).Desimone(2011) indicated that groups of teachers from similar grades, subjects, or institute should participate in professional growth events together to figure out a collaborative learning community (p.69). Professional growth done collaboratively is lively and cooperative to the students (Hunicker,2010). Researches have also indicated that current professional development involves cooperation among teachers. Evidence of its significance was established in the participants’ reactions to the interview queries in-unit 2.Based on the records from the meetings, teamwork was not functioning among teachers. Mindich and Lieberman (2012) found that…

We will use the criteria from the clinical domain of the UWHC Nursing Clinical Advancement Program (NCAP) to guide this reflection. Components of the clinical domain include the following: primary nursing, therapeutic relationships, diversity and cultural congruency, ethical decision making, assessment, diagnosis, outcome identification, implementation, evaluation. PROCESS (adapted from the UWHC Nursing Clinical Advancement Program) Begin by identifying a patient care story that exemplifies your nursing practice. Spend time reflecting on that story – break down what occurred: What were your roles/responsibilities? What were your thoughts in the moment? What actions did you take and why?

Coaching and mentoring Coaching and mentoring are part of education in professional development. Mentoring is a way of transferring skills and knowledge and inspiring people. Coaching and mentoring are similar activities. Coaching is concerned with improving performance and developing skills (Huggins, 2016). This paper will analyze the literature on coaching and mentoring. Yes, I agree that coaching and mentoring are core competencies for a nurse after the graduate level. This is because, after the graduate level of studies, nurses are now well educated and equipped to mentor and coach student nurses. The graduate nurses carry out these roles when caring for patients and their relatives, and even with other team members in the same profession. Graduate nurses are skilled and knowledgeable hence a need to be given the opportunity to coach and mentor others. These roles help them promote professional development, have confidence, and therefore encouraging further learning. It is the role of APN to establish a therapeutic relationship with patients and other health professionals through coaching and mentoring. Professional mentoring and coaching have been recognized as focusing on the…

Professional Nursing, Public Image, Gender Representation and Future Trends. Factors affecting Public Image of Professional Nursing In a study published in 2017, Rubbi et al. (2017) outline several factors that affect the public’s image of professional nurses. These factors include the level of interaction between a person and a nurse in a healthcare setting, the degree to which the person understands a licensed nurse’s work and its nature in a healthcare environment, and access to information regarding a nurse’s poor or low salary/wage. The members of the public should understand and view professional nurses as essential individuals in any healthcare setting as it deals with administering prescription drugs, bridging communication between doctors and patients, caring for patients, and supervising nurse aides. For these reasons, individuals need to support nurses in the quest for quality healthcare services. Gender Inclusion and exclusion in the nursing profession According to Ozdemir, Akansel, and Tunk (2008), a female nurse is generous, humble, and nurturing, all of which are crucial for a nursing role.

Why Health Education Is Important Reflective Journal Week 7 Week 5 provided an opportunity to learn about community health. This is an essential topic since community health education builds skills, knowledge, team building, and positive attitudes. Some of the health education topics covered include physical, emotional, mental, and social health. More importantly, community health education helps to allocate funds that will aid in professional development for all relevant stakeholders. Week 5 also provided an opportunity to write journals about weeks 3 and 4. This was a productive exercise since it helped me know my strengths and weaknesses in some of the ways to improve community health education. This was similar to making a nclex from chapters 14 to 17. This required adequate research, which led to the improvement of personal and professional expertise in my nursing career. Through conducting such adequate research, I learned how to adapt to my career as a registered nurse. Week 6 provided an opportunity to review chapters 23 to 26 and write about migrant workers. In this case, the assignment about migrant workers helps…

This method of learning ensures a learner is involved and drives his individual learning experience. Similarly, it is a method that supports the unique needs of the learner, whereby students have different learning styles that they can adopt from a different basis. Analysis of my position Blended learning advocates the mixture of simple concept and strategy that supports of mixing technologies of distance education and the classroom.
