NR 603 Week 8 Collaboration Cafe

NR603 Week 8 Collaboration Café 1. Reflect on your learning experience in this course. Which concepts stood out to you and made an impact? How do you envision using these concepts in your future nursing practice as a master’s prepared nurse? I really enjoyed this course and how much I was able to focus on caring for complex clients. It is important to always consider a client’s history, even when treating them for a simple acute issue, and many clients have complex histories which may make treating their acute issue more difficult. Another concept that made an impact was going through telehealth cases and learning what is important to assess immediately such as certain scenarios when a patient should immediately go in for lab work or imaging. I envision that I will encounter patient scenarios like these a lot in my practice, and therefore it was helpful to learn about evaluating patients over telehealth as well as complex client scenarios. 2. Describe how course learning activities and assignments will help you achieve Program Outcome 5: Advocates for positive health outcomes through compassionate, evidence-based, collaborative advanced nursing practice. Each of these aspects of patient care is important. I will ensure that I am providing compassionate care by always sitting down during patient visits, using therapeutic touch and active listening, and going into each visit with a game plan. I will stay up to date on new treatment plans or protocols to ensure that I am providing evidence-based care. Collaborative care is very important and to ensure that I am participating in collaborative care I will make sure to refer to appropriate specialists, follow-up with their treatment plans, and communicate to other providers when needed. 3. Describe how course assignments or activities will help you achieve ONE of the sub-competencies from the advanced-level nursing education competencies from AACN Essentials Competency 1.3: Demonstrate clinical judgment founded on a broad knowledge base. 1.3e Synthesize current and emerging evidence to influence practice. In my practice as an FNP, it will be important to complete continuing education hours to stay current on emerging evidence. There are often new treatments or medications that are emerging and not well known but may be very useful to specific patients. These emerging options may be combined and effects with current evidence to provide the best possible treatment plans. I will ensure that I am spending time to familiarize myself with new treatments, diagnostic methods, or medications to ensure that I am providing the best possible and up to date care for my patients.
