As I begin on this journey towards greater good I need to first develop my program of study and professional development plan. The purpose of this paper is to assist me in broadening my perspective on being a student and enable me to fully understand my personal and professional goals. In addition I will share my professional and educational background as well.
Education and Professional Background
My name is Amanda and I am a BSN, RN working at NuRoc Community Care Center. I teach CNA, psychology, and Medical Terminology classes at NWTC. In addition I field insurance claims from home. I am divorced and recently purchased a house in Northeast WI. I have three beautiful acres of land and love living here.NURS 6510 – Capstone Synthesis: Practicum II Essay
I started my career at UW Milwaukee and got a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology. I then went on to Marquette University to obtain my Master’s in Physical Therapy. After completing my MPT I went back to UWM to obtain my bachelor’s in nursing and Masters in business administration. I truly love knowledge and value my education.
I have a lot of diverse experience under my belt as a nurse and prior to being a nurse. I worked for a year in the wound clinic at Freidert Hospital in Milwaukee. Here I treated all different types of wounds as a Physical Therapist. After becoming an RN I began to work at the Nursing home. This has tremendously expanded my critical thinking skills. I also worked at the hospital for two years mostly in oncology but also float/pool. In the midst of this I expanded my experience farther by obtaining my teaching certificate. I teach CNA courses and this semester for the first time I am teaching leadership development for associate degree nurses. I am very excited to start this course.
How do you ever know if one is ready to start school again? I feel I am as I wish to advance in my current field and eventually own a CBRF in the near future. I truly love school and learning more about nursing. In the field I have been in many leadership roles, charge nurse, team leader, facilitator, MDS Coordinator. Being involved in leadership roles confirmed my desire to advance my career in leadership and administration.NURS 6510 – Capstone Synthesis: Practicum II Essay
Professional Goals
The purpose for my completing a graduate program was originally to take my mind of stress in my life but has evolved into an aspiration in owning a CBRF. I want to become DON at my current job to test out how I will do as a leader and authority figure. I would like to take on a role of staff development coordinator, which will incorporate my teaching skills and nursing skills. I also aim to obtain my MSN and use it to further my career as a nursing professional.
Course Learning Goals
Healthcare finance and budgeting is probably the most important class for me to do well in. This course will assist me in having the necessary tools for eventually starting a CBRF on my own. In addition to this learning APA format will assist me in producing professional documentation and presenting my ideas professionally. In addition it will help me to effectively communicate with my coworkers. My goal is to be able to communicate effectively and be a respected leader in my profession.NURS 6510 – Capstone Synthesis: Practicum II Essay
Practicum
I have contacted a local nurse at the local clinic in Wausaukee to shadow her in practicum. I view practicum as the final and key tool in my learning success. It will let me take all, my knowledge and use it to treat patients in a real life setting. This will also teach me aspects of healthcare that you don’t learn online or in a book. The nurse I will be working with is a reputable member of society and she is an excellent leader and mentor. She feels confident that she will still be working at the clinic in two years.
Summary
I am already familiar with the online learning curriculum, since that is how I got my teaching certificate. I look forward to moving ahead with my masters at Walden University. This experience should broaden and expand my horizons. On the next few pages I have completed my plan of attack for completing my master s degree in an efficient and timely manner.

Summary of Community Health Project
This is the final summary of my community health project and its intended outcome. I plan to map out for my final conclusions and lead into my PowerPoint presentation created to supplement and summarize my project. I have designed the project with a very diverse population in mind. I am hoping that this paper along with my PowerPoint will present and tie together all three parts of my project.NURS 6510 – Capstone Synthesis: Practicum II Essay
The setting I designed my PowerPoint for is an online audience. I added very lively sound effects and photos to supplement the information provided and keep a varied and diverse groups interest in the presentation. I hoped to add a level of personal trust by adding personal photos to my PowerPoint along with the information and some very generic pictures. The design of the power is very simplistic to help the learner focus on the facts. The sounds effects were strategically placed to highlight the beginning and the end of the presentation and add a little fun to the presentation.
I plan to place this PowerPoint online along with a recorded lecture to accompany it and have the link to it on my Facebook page. This will give access to a large population at any time. Therefore people will be more apt to participate due to my projects accessibility. The easier it is to get involved the more likely someone will get involved. I am hoping that this will aid in maximum participation.

(3 sem. cr.) This course is a continuation of students’ practicum experience and coursework started in NURS 6500. Students bring closure to their work on real-world problems, which they developed with their preceptors earlier in their experience. They also evaluate and complete their practicum project and present it to their work site and in the online classroom. The practicum (NURS 6500 and NURS 6510) requires a minimum of 125 total hours, which students record in their time log. Students continue work on their cumulative journal, which provides evidence-based or theory-based analyses of activities, issues, or problems that occur during their experience.
