This assignment is developed to help begin the process of values clarification and develop an initial personal philosophy of nursing. For over a decade the American Nurses Association (ANA) has advocated that individual nurses reflect upon, develop, and articulate a personal philosophy of nursing. Following specific prompts from the text, you will write a brief essay that articulates a philosophy of nursing that informs your practice and describes your beliefs about your role as a nurse. This scholarly assignment is expected to be researched and include at least two (2) peer-reviewed nursing references within the last five (5) years of publication using the Baruch Library exclusively, related to the nursing theory that informs your personal philosophy. All references require an active link to verify the article was obtained through the Baruch Library. You will submit this essay to your ePortfolio as a practice submission.

Whichever “part” you choose I’m okay with.

This mental health assignment is based on the attached case scenario of Leo Linara. The work must be developed in direct alignment with the specified learning outcomes, as adherence to these outcomes is essential. Please ensure that the content reflects appropriate theoretical knowledge, clinical reasoning, and critical engagement with the scenario.

Reflect on the 3 most challenging patient encounters and discuss what was most challenging for each. What did you learn from this experience? What resources did you have available? What evidence-based practice did you use for this patient? What new skills are you learning? What would you do differently? How are you managing patient flow and volume? Communicating and Feedback Ask yourself the following self-reflective questions: How might I improve on my skills and knowledge, and how do I communicate that back to my Preceptor? How am I doing? What is missing? What type of feedback am I receiving from my Preceptor?

In this two-part deliverable assessment, first, create a 57 slide elevator-speech style presentation that you will present to stakeholders that provides an overview of policy implementation, including rationale and data that reflect the need for the new policy. Second, create a detailed, annotated training agenda for the pilot team that will accompany your presentation.

Introduction

Training and educating those within an organization who are responsible for implementing and working with changes in organizational policy is a critical step in ensuring that prescribed changes have their intended benefit. A leader in a healthcare profession must be able to apply effective leadership, management, and educational strategies to ensure that colleagues and subordinates will be prepared to do the work that is asked of them.

As a master’s-level healthcare practitioner, you may be asked to design training sessions to help ensure the smooth implementation of any number of initiatives in your healthcare setting. The ability to create an agenda that will ensure your training goals will be met, and will fit into the allotted time, is a valuable skill for preparing colleagues to be successful in their practice.

This assessment offers you an opportunity to develop and implement effective educational strategies.

Instructions

In this assessment, inform the leadership stakeholders of a planned pilot project to test the implementation of your new policy. Describe the policy in an elevator-speech style, explain why the policy is needed, and why the group was chosen for the pilot. Then, develop a detailed training agenda that will describe the training needed, including any resources, number and times of classes (including length) and if there will be any skills training and return demonstrations or written exams. Connect the pilot to the benchmarks you will measure. As a result of this presentation, stakeholders are expected to:

Understand the organizational policy and practice guidelines to be implemented.

Understand the importance of the policy to improving quality or outcomes.

Understand how the designated role group is key to successful implementation.

Have awareness of the necessary knowledge and skills for successful implementation.

Elevator Speech Presentation

Record a 5-minute recorded slide presentation for your elevator speech. Be sure to include:

A brief description of the policy and why it is necessary to improve benchmark metrics or comply with new regulations.

Include a description of the pilot group and why they were chosen to demonstrate the change in workflow and improve quality of care.

Describe the metrics that will be used to determine current practice and compare it after the training has ended.

Summarize the training implementation.

Annotated Training Agenda

You will also develop an agenda for the training sessions, including:

Length and number of class sessions.

Location of classessimulation lab, classroom, et cetera.

The resources needed for the courses, any teaching staff, equipment, technology, or supplies needed.

What teaching strategies will be employed to measure learner success, including any check-off lists or written exams (you do not have to provide the actual exam)?

How will employees be scheduled and who will maintain records of completion, any grades, or skills verification?

Any credit that will be provided to the staff (that is, continuing education credits).

Plans to train the rest of the staff and new employees following the pilot.

The follow-up plan for assessing sustainability.

Use the Annotated Training Agenda Template [DOCX] to develop your agenda.
