Reflection is a cornerstone of professional practice. As an advanced practice nurse, it is essential to continuously facilitate your own learning and development by employing an iterative process of engaging in action and reflection.
In this Discussion, you consider how you have grown and matured as a scholar, and how your practice as a professional nurse has changed as a result of your involvement in this MSN program.
Reflecting on my experience as a nurse enrolled in an MSN program in Leadership and Managment, I would like to state that my views of the nursing profession on the whole, my thoughts and belief about my practice, and my views about the the chosen speciality have changed drastically in a positive direction through the program. In addition, I would like to highlight my current ambitions and two goals in relation to this ambition. Further, I would like to throw light on how I can capitalise my knowledge and skills for becoming a leader in my field and uphold professional development.
As a nurse, I have gained confidence through the program that I have immense potential to shape up the future of patient care. Earlier, I was uncertain about the exact manner in which healthcare leaders can influence nursing care delivery. The program has taught me the essence of leadership that when applied in a suitable manner can lead to optimal quality care services. I have developed the feeling that the nursing professional is an amalgamation of arts and science. Science is applied in providing direct interventions whereas the process in which holistic care is delivered is an art. My MSN program has prepared me for a management role as a nurse administrator that aids in developing essential leadership and management skills. I have gained insight into how collaborative and effective leadership and management can support the goal of bringing improvements in patient outcomes. The program is beneficial for gaining strategies in planning, decision making and human resources that would be advantageous for the future.
The professional role that I now wish to achieve is different from what is was before. Earlier, my focus was to become a successful nursing professional targeting proper care delivery. The program has guided me in directing my thoughts and viewpoints for attaining broader professional success. At present, my ambition is to be known as a successful nurse leader and manager in future. In this regard, my goals are to demonstrate suitable leadership qualities within the clinical context for gearing towards bringing out the best in other professionals and to engage in clear and effective communication skills.
Though my MSN program is the foundational stone for enhancing my skills and knowledge, I believe that further interventions are required for capitalising this base that I have formed. Since my key focus would be revolving around communication, I would complete a short course on communication skills that would exclusively address this aspect. The program would put me in a position to demonstrate proper formal and informal communication skills. I can further enhance my knowledge on leadership and management through taking part in online discussion forums. This would act as a platform for exchanging information and ideas with professionals from the same field. Personal experiences and viewpoints can be shared with each other that is a rich pool of knowledge. Further. I would engage in continual research for keeping myself abreast of the latest news and the current affairs in the field of nursing leadership and management. In this manner, it is hoped that I would be able to fulfil my mission successfully.
