(Being the officers’ actions)

Research Validity and Reliability

A discussion in relation to the findings of the preceding literatures on ………  includes the research debate on, more often than not referring to the mode in which the data were collected. This phenomenological research where all questions are correlated to theoretical distinctiveness as discussed in literature review. The course of action would therefore be precise in collecting, analyzing and sampling data; hence the legitimacy of result would be to a certain extent high. To be taken into consideration is the fact that there are many diverse aspects influencing the validity of the research in general.

Professor Malcom and class,

For the past 8 weeks, I have learned so much about the role of an APN. This class helped me understand the scope of practice of an APN to the full extent. The small details that I didn’t know before, I know now because this class required me to not only research it but also understand it as well by applying it into real life situations. It helped me meet the outcomes/competencies through my following experiences/research.

Having been a nurse for a little over 2 years and having experienced different situations as a nurse has prepared me to be a competent nurse. However, learning the role of an APN and using that same experience to be a scholar NP, I learned that through this class. It helped me learn what I need to do to prepare myself for the role of an APN which included learning from your prior experiences, taking on a leadership position, and using scholarly EBP articles to back up our research. A huge emphasis in this course was the importance of the role of an APN. Learning the professionalism of the role will help me set the tone of my soon-to-be career.

An APN’s role requires you to be an effective team leader. You must be able to delegate to your MAs, LPNs and RNs that you work with. Being an effective team leader also allows you to provide safe patient care because you are able to set expectations on the communication and behaviors you expect from your team. When you can get your team to communicate effectively with you, you provide safe patient care. According to a study done by Patton regarding workplace conflicts, she mentioned that communication was one of the biggest culprits for those conflicts along with “disrespect, lack of restraint, and irresponsibility”. (Patton, 2018). That is why you as an APN must set the tone for communication between your staff.

This class has emphasized the importance of being a team leader as an APN and how that allows you to make decisions and have working relationships with the staff. It is important to know that you don’t need to make friends with the people you work with, but you do need to be able to have the leadership skills to provide the best care to your patients and your staff needs to see you in that leadership role. Only because you are an APN does not mean staff will treat you as a leader, you need to give them a reason to view you as their leader and that too an effective one.

Another thing I learned in this class is the importance of building trusting relationships with the patients and how that allows the providers to also enjoy their job more! Establishing care with patients at a primary care clinic allows for patients to have trust in their PCPs and continuity of care allows for that trust to build overtime. In a study by Loeb, Bayliss, Candrian and deGruy “PCPs discussed developing a trusting relationship with their patients as therapeutic for patients and as fundamental to their ability to provide optimal care” (2016). Having that therapeutic relationship with the patients not only allows for the patients to form that trusting bond with their PCPs but also allows the PCPs to provide optimal care leading to better job satisfaction and patient satisfaction scores. Hence, when a provider is happy with the care they provide, you can see that in their work. Both lead to a happier and healthier state of mind for the patient and the providers/staff allowing them to actually enjoy their job and provide a safe environment.

 

I want to thank Professor Malcom and fellow students for being a great support through this class. I have enjoyed my time here and truly learned so much. I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a very Happy new New Year!

Reflects on the achievement of Program Outcome # 4.

Integrate professional values through scholarship and service in health care. (Professional identity)

This course has helped greatly in my understanding of the different Advanced Practice Nurse (APN) roles. Learning all the roles in relation to the Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) role has given me a broader understanding of where FNP fit into the healthcare system. It is important for me to view a broader scope of the profession and learn what the current Ohio laws and statutes are that will impact my practice. I really had little knowledge of the laws until this course. I also was not well-informed on current scope of practice challenges and what is being done to make changes in Ohio and other states. It was refreshing to finally take a course that provided endless amounts of crucial information that will directly affect me as an FNP and that I can commit to memory and use to become an FNP.

Reflects on the achievement of MSN Essentials II

Recognizes that organizational and systems leadership are critical to the promotion of high quality and safe patient care. Leadership skills are needed that emphasize ethical and critical decision making, effective working relationships, and a systems perspective.

APN do not function within a vacuum, as an island or independent of other systems. I have come to view the APN role as a collection of untapped expertise. I truly found the Complexity theory interesting as it is relevant to APN practice within the healthcare system. Complexity theory presupposes that everything in the system is related and affected by the other parts (Porter-O’Grady, & Malloch, 2015). Change is constant. APN will be defined (or not) in one way today, and something different the next day. What APN do in between will determine what the next day brings. This course has unveiled the possibilities for APN if we learn to develop leadership skills that are centered around ethical decision-making, inducing patient-centered changes and making a big impact. Leadership capability and capacity building are deemed essential to meet current and future challenges in a health care system that is undergoing major changes (Elliott, 2017). There is so much potential in APN to positively impact the healthcare systems which directly impacts high-quality, safe patient care with improved patient outcomes. According to Higgins et. al. (2014), APN leadership capability has been increasingly highlighted as an important factor in the provision of improved patient outcomes in all settings. This, unfortunately, is not going to magically transpire. It will take APN advocating for themselves as well as advocating for patients and healthcare system improvements to create changes which will allow APN to work to the full extent of their licensure and skills.

Reflects on the achievement of NONPF Competency # 2

The NONPF Competency #2 impresses that APN learn to assume leadership roles which can initiate and guide complex healthcare changes and improvements which improves access to care while providing high-quality and cost-effective care to every patient in all settings. APN must develop professional skills which come through knowledge, scholarship and involvement in organizations. The biggest and most influential take-away from this course for me will be that APN must become involved as leaders for change within the healthcare system- changes in the system, within the legislation and for the profession itself. Courses such as this provide views which are central to the APN practice and profession. It has taught me not to look at the APN profession as it is now, but how it could be once all APN advocate for themselves and their patients. When I began as a Registered Nurse (RN), I really wanted to change patient’s lives for the better because of the interactions that they had with me. It was quite a shock to learn that it takes so much more to effect change than just the desire and motivation to makes things better. In completing this course, I feel more confident that, with almost two decades of experience, I may finally be moving in a direction where I can make lives better. It makes me want to get involved, jump into the fray and do something transformational. It is this ripple effect, like in the complexity theory, that I imagine when I think about where I am headed. The future can be whatever we choose to make of it.

 

Thank you, Professor Malcolm for your time and cheery disposition. You are affecting change in every person you teach.
