Academic Success and Professional Development Plan

Assignment: Academic Success and Professional Development Plan Part 6: Finalizing the Plan

At some point in every construction project, efforts turn from design and the focus moves to actual construction. With the vision in place and the tools secured, the blueprint can be finalized and approved. Then it is time to put on hardhats and begin work.

Throughout the course you have developed aspects of your Academic and Professional Development Plan. You have thought a great deal about your vision and goals, your academic. And professional network of support, research strategies and other tools you will need, the integrity of your work. And the value of consulting the work of others. With your portfolio in place, it is now time to finalize your blueprint for success.

Much as builders remain cognizant of the building standards as they plan and begin construction, nurses must remain mindful of the formal standards of practice that govern their specialties. A good understanding of these standards can help ensure that your success plan includes any steps necessary to excel within your chosen specialty.

In this Assignment you will continue developing your Academic Success and Professional Development Plan by developing the final component–a review of your specialty standards of practice. You will also submit your final version of the document, including Parts 1–5.

 

The Assignment:
Complete the following items and incorporate them into the final version of your Academic Success and Professional Development Plan.

  • With the resources specific to the MSN specialization and the, Walden University. (n.d.). Master of Science in Nursing (MSN), shared in this module, write a paragraph or make a Nursing Specialty Comparison table, comparing at least two nursing specialties that include your selected specialization and second-preferred specialization.
  • Write a 2- to 3-paragraph justification statement identifying your reasons for choosing your MSN specialization. Incorporate feedback you received from colleagues in this Module’s Discussion forum.
  • Identify the professional organization related to your chosen specialization for this Assignment. And explain how you can become an active member of this organization.

Note: Your final version of the Academic Success and Professional Development Plan should include all components as presented the Academic Success and Professional Development Plan template.

Global Health Comparison Matrix

Assignment: Global Healthcare Comparison Matrix and Narrative Statement

If you talk about a possible poor health outcome, do you believe that outcome will occur? Do you believe eye contact and personal contact should be avoided?

You would have a difficult time practicing as a nurse if you believed these to be true. But they are very real beliefs in some cultures.

Differences in cultural beliefs, subcultures, religion, ethnic customs, dietary customs, language. And a host of other factors contribute to the complex environment that surrounds global healthcare issues. Failure to understand and account for these differences can create a gulf between practitioners and the public they serve.

In this Assignment, you will examine a global health issue and consider the approach to this issue by the United States and by one other country.

 

Assignment: (1- to 2-page Global Health Comparison Matrix; 1-page Plan for Social Change)

Part 1: Global Health Comparison Matrix

Focusing on the country you selected and the U.S., complete the Global Health Comparison Matrix. Be sure to address the following:

  • Consider the U.S. national/federal health policies that have been adapted for the global health issue you selected from the WHO global health agenda. Compare these policies to the additional country you selected for study.
  • Explain the strengths and weaknesses of each policy.
  • Explain how the social determinants of health may impact the global health issue you selected. Be specific and provide examples.
  • Using the WHO’s Organization’s global health agenda as well as the results of your own research, analyze how each country’s government addresses cost, quality, and access to the global health issue selected.
  • Explain how;
  • the health policy you selected might impact the health of the global population. Be specific and provide examples.
  • the health policy you selected might impact the role of the nurse in each country.
  • global health issues impact local healthcare organizations and policies in both countries. Be specific and provide examples.

Part 2: A Plan for Social Change

Reflect on the global health policy comparison and analysis you conducted in Part 1 of the Assignment and the impact that global health issues may have on the world, the U.S., your community, as well as your practice as a nurse leader.

In a 1-page response, create a plan for social change that incorporates a global perspective or lens into your local practice and role as a nurse leader.

  • Explain how;
  • you would advocate for the incorporation of a global perspective or lens into your local practice and role as a nurse leader.
  •  the incorporation of a global perspective or lens might impact your local practice and role as a nurse leader.
  • the incorporation of a global perspective or lens into your local practice as a nurse leader represents and contributes to social change. Be specific and provide examples

data analysis research

Peer 1

During data analysis research it is important to utilize all tools that could make data analyzing easier and more accurate. Microsoft Excel provides a data analysis tool to calculate descriptive statistics. As a researcher I could take the variables and input the information into the descriptive statistics tool to obtain the mean, median, mode, or other information of the input data.

I have minimal experience running descriptive statistics; I was unaware that Excel had this option for researchers. It took multiple attempts and researching how to utilize this tool on Excel to understand the assignment and complete the statistical portion and the graphing portion.

I have plans to continue learning about Excel and utilizing the tools available for my research as an APRN. The information that I have learned about this software will benefit my future analysis of research data by allowing me to analyze a large amount of data and have all information together.

Peer 2

This was a new experience to me and very educative. I have taken statistics classes before, but this made me feel like I needed a little refresher. I watched a few YouTube videos over how to run statistical analyses in excel. It is very valuable information to know. Knowing how to run statistics in excel is very valuable because excel available on just about every computer and is not expensive to purchase compared to other statistical programs (Gray et al., 2016). It will convert my data into tables, graphs, and charts. The downsides to the program is having to pay for a subscription, I only have the program downloaded on one computer, and when I need to send the database to my other team members or statistician I have to convert the file back to Excel.

I would like to learn more about this program to run more complex statistical analyses such as Fischer’s or Chi-Squared. Being verse in multiple statistical programs is invaluable. I am a visual learner, so I like to watch YouTube video tutorials. I would like to watch more of these to learn how to navigate statistical analysis on Excel.
