As a nurse educator, it is critical for curriculum to have ongoing evaluation, development and redesign, so that the learner can better understand the content and skills presented (Keating & DeBoor, 2016). Curriculum alignment and congruence aids in this goal. Alignment of a specific curriculum is obtained by the congruence of three educational components: curriculum, instruction, and, assessment (Leitzel & Vogler, 1994).

Strategies

            One strategy used to maintain alignment in curriculum is simulation. Simulations are used to supplement real life scenarios (Billings & Hallstead, 2016). A multisite study was conducted on simulations and the results in 2014 showed that measured outcomes were met up to 50 percent of the time when simulations were used. (Lippincott Nursing Education Blog, 2017). Alexander et al. (2015), notes that outcomes can be achieved by having the appropriated number of trained educators during the simulation times, and that the simulations are in line with the set design model already in place. This would be appropriate in the southeastern project because it would allow the learner to choose the time and possibly the place for when he or she would like to learn.

            A second strategy that aids in curriculum alignment and congruency is making sure the philosophy of the program matches the mission, vision, and values of the institution (Billings & Hallstead, 2016). Because most faculty members will have his or her own beliefs about their school of nursing, the philosophy must be aligned to keep all educators united in their teaching.

Community Practice Week 7 Presentation of Community Teaching Project

Philosophy in Nursing

/in /by

 Your journal this week will help you get started on developing your personal Philosophy of Nursing Statement. You will continue to develop this statement over the next six weeks through these journal assignments.

In this week’s journal, construct your initial draft of the opening statement and assumptions sections of your philosophy of nursing. In this first draft, you will reflect on the elements below:

Introduction: Open your statement with a few sentences about the importance of a philosophy of nursing practice. How does such a philosophy shape your identity and role as a nurse?

Assumptions: Discuss your assumptions about patients, health, environment, and nursing and the relationships among these variables. How does your nursing philosophy guide your interaction with patients, their families, and other healthcare professionals? How do professional integrity, equity, ethics, and the potential for bias factor into your assumptions?

decision making

Describe the value of qualitative research in healthcare and its’ impact on clinical decision making. Provide an example how qualitative research may influence nursing practice or healthcare delivery.

Your initial posting should be at least 400 words in length and utilize at least one scholarly source other than the textbook.

Discussion: Root Cause Analysis

/in /by

 

Review the case scenario included in this week’s media resources, and examine the process flow chart, cause/effect diagram, and Pareto chart related to the case scenario.

In the scenario, the nurse manager and the director of pharmacy blame each other for the error. The facilitator (quality assurance person) asks everyone to avoid blaming and focus on applying the tools to analyze the data and get to the root cause of the error. While all of these tools contribute, for this Discussion, select one tool to analyze. By Day 3

Post each of the following: Analyze the composition of the RCA team. Explain what knowledge they can contribute to the RCA. Describe the collaboration in the case study that led to effective problem solving. Identify the evidence you observe in the scenario that demonstrates effective collaboration and the avoidance of blaming. Explain the team’s process in testing for and eliminating root causes that were not contributing. Select one of the performance improvement charts presented in the scenario and critique its effectiveness by explaining how it contributes to identifying the root cause and determining a solution to prevent repeat medication errors. Identify the contributing factors, and discuss how to prevent this kind of error from occurring in the future.

Support your response with references from the professional nursing literature. Your posts need to be written at the capstone level (see checklist)

Notes Initial Post: This should be a 3-paragraph (at least 350 words) response. Be sure to use evidence from the readings and include in-text citations. Utilize essay-level writing practice and skills, including the use of transitional material and organizational frames. Avoid quotes; paraphrase to incorporate evidence into your own writing. A reference list is required. Use the most current evidence (usually ≤ 5 years old). (Refer to AWE Checklist, Capstone)

 A typed, 6-10 page paper (no longer than 10 pages, 12 pt. font, 1 inch margin, excluding title and reference pages), based on the following points:

 Proof read carefully. Your grade will be significantly lowered if your paper has numerous spelling/grammatical errors.

 In as much detail as possible, discuss your background, in terms of the following dimensions of diversity. Discuss all 7 points below and number each one.

1. Environment: the kind(s) of community(ies) in which you grew up and currently live (i.e. large city, suburb, small town, rural area; neighborhood)

2. Social Class Background: your social class as you grew up. Explain. Describe the kinds of jobs held and level of education of those who raised you. What were the social class levels of your neighbors? Did you and your family experience upward and/or downward social mobility? Explain. And finally, how have your experiences in the U.S. influenced your ideas about the “American dream?”

4. Social and Economic Opportunities: advantages and disadvantages you have experienced in society due to your wealth, gender, and cultural background. How have these advantages and disadvantages affected you at school, at work, and/or in the larger community?

5. Cultural Encapsulation: ways in which your upbringing has limited your exposure to other people from other cultures and races. Also, how has your cultural encapsulation shaped your cultural lens?

6. Diversity Consciousness: ways in which your family background, life experiences, and education have influenced your diversity consciousness. What do you think will be your most difficult challenge as you work on developing your own diversity consciousness?

7. Sphere of Influence: what is your “sphere of influence?” In other words, whom do you “touch” or influence at the present, and whom will you influence in the future? Be as specific as possible.

 You will be graded on a number of criteria (clarity, development, each question answered thoroughly, creativity, understanding of the concepts).
