NURS 6003 Discussion: Strategies for Addressing Questions

NURS 6003 Discussion: Strategies for Addressing Questions In Module 1, you began building a foundation for your success by considering a network-individuals and teams who can help you to clarify and execute on the vision. A network is most helpful when you are comfortable asking questions. Chances are other members of your network have experienced similar questions and may have helped guide others toward resolutions that can now be helpful. In this Discussion, focus on the questions you are ready to ask as your journey begins. Keep in mind that sharing questions is often a great way to help others who have similar questions even if they do not realize it! To prepare: • Reflect on questions or concerns you might have as you begin the MSN program. • Consider the individuals, teams, and departments you previously considered in Module 1 as well as how they may provide support with addressing these questions and concerns. Questions or concerns I have as I begin my PMHNP program? 1) I work fulltime on a very fast paced unit with some days more stressful than others. How do I balance work, school and personal life/ family 2) Clinical Expectations: Identifying the appropriate clinical site during COVID-19 pandemic could be a challenge especially group sessions. How do I get an appropriate clinical site? 3) What if there is an outbreak at my clinical site (COVID – 19, respiratory or Gastrointestinal outbreak) and I’m not able to continue with my clinical? By Day 3 of Week 2 Post any questions or concerns that you are willing to share with the group. The Discussion board represents an opportunity to network with your course colleagues, and others may have the same questions or concerns. NURS 6003 Discussion: Strategies for Addressing Questions.   By Day 6 of Week 2 Respond to at least two of your colleagues\’ posts by offering a possible resolution to their questions/concerns with supporting documentation, if possible, or expanding on their thinking and providing an example as support.

Strategies for Addressing Questions

Looking back to when I wanted to go to nursing school, I’ve often dreamed about pursuing my studies past my ADN. I still knew it was going to be hard work, but it was worth it in the end. When I graduated from my Associate’s program in 2013, I had it arranged to go straight to the BSN. Well, things didn’t happen the way I planned it; life got in the way. So, now that I’m embarking on this new story, I have some concerns, like we all do when we start something different. How will I balance work, family life, and school? Will I be able to find preceptors for clinical next year? Will I be prepared for the workforce once I graduate? Will I find a job post-graduation?

I have read so many wonderful things about Walden University. I have met some great nurses who have completed their MSN, and others who are about to graduate. NURS 6003 Discussion: Strategies for Addressing Questions.They have all offered nothing but positive words of support for my decision. Then there are a few bad seeds that make critical opinions about profit-driven educational institutions. Or remarks about not going to “brick and mortar” college. In my quest for a master’s degree, I researched numerous online classes, as well as the “brick and mortar” university. For one thing, I refuse to let negative comments hinder my dreams. This is my journey, and I am going to be successful.

Walden was my first selection as I narrowed things down. All the schools needed the students to acquire their preceptors. I was able to find an MD willing to precept me as well as an NP. I’m also planning to talk to my student counselor and seek guidance on lining up additional preceptors so that I’m prepared for clinical use. Convenience is the greatest benefit of going to school online. Being able to get an education at any time of the day, even in my pajamas, is a plus for me (“online edu benefits,” n.d., para . 1). I am able to be with my family anytime they require me, and I can finish my studies in the safety of my own home. I know that if I worry about it, I can do this. I will be willing to coordinate with colleagues from all over the world, as well as to gain knowledge from an experienced teaching faculty that holds a doctoral degree. (“Walden PMHNP,” n.d., p. 1). It’s going to take dedication and determination on my part, remembering my “why” will keep me striving for my goal. If I make sure that I am organized, do my best, and use all my resources available to me how can I not succeed?

The employment prospects for PMHNP are promising. The demand for psychiatric nurses is projected to increase by 20 % by 2020, which is greater than the current growth rate for other occupations.3 According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of job openings for nurse practitioners is expected to increase by 36% from 2016 to 2026 (‘Walden PMHNP,’ n.d., p. 1). With the development in the field, I feel more confident that I will find a job after graduation, and I am confident that I will make the best choice in choosing Walden University
