Introduction
As we approach graduation many BScN students are prepping their resumes and settling into the mindset of “I’ll apply to anything, just hire me!” We thought it was important to ensure that our future graduate think ahead to all the many different nursing careers that are out there, what role they think they would be happiest in, what training might be needed for that role and how to be successful in the interview. This reflection will examine my experience working as a group to complete a facilitation in the Nursing 4Q03 class.
Facilitation Experience (planning, conducting, evaluating) For this facilitation I collaborated with Ashley, Camille, Christina, and Sharon. Our topic was career paths and continuing education. Our scenario …show more content…

Over the years I have learned to participate without feeling the need to dominate the situation. I have also learned to trust others to contribute to group work and do their part. Throughout this facilitation process I felt an unusual sense of powerlessness, a lack of control over both the content, as well as the presentation and I often felt as though I wasn’t heard, or that my opinion didn’t matter. There was too much noise and confusion with other members desperately needing to control things. However, upon reflecting on this facilitation process I have come to realize that at the bedside in nursing I will be interacting with some very strong personalities, in particular frightened and frustrated patients and family members. Some of these people will sit back and trust in the medical system completely, and others will want to control everything that they possibly can to gain some sort of semblance in their lives. It is crucial that I be able to read when a person has a “need” for control, and if I can safely turn that control over to them, then I should. When it comes to fighting for control, it comes down to the old saying of “how important is it

Houle (1989), emphasizes that every professional has a need to be able to carry out their duties according to the highest possible standards of character and competence and one way to meet this is to engage in a lifelong study and to achieve its greatest potential, continuing education must fulfill the promise to its name and be truly be continuing and not casual, sporadic or opportunistic. This fact means essentially that it must be self-directed and each professional must be the ultimate monitor of his or her own learning, controlling the stable or shifting design of its continuity. Houle further argues that continuing education must be based not only on content oriented goals of keeping up with the new development; it must also be designed to facilitate changes in life patterns or career lines. Accordingly, Fryer (1997) states that learning at the workplace will need to accommodate the needs and interests of a variety of stakeholders, including employees, employers, customers, government and providers.

“Being great, or going from good to great, takes the courage of one’s convictions, vision, and energy” (Roussel, Thomas, & Harris, 2016, p. 5). The courageous part of this scenario comes from persevering when the journey seems impossible and the introspection that must occur does not intimidate or dissuade us from continuing towards greatness. To be great leaders, we must know where we are going, where we have come, how we have already flourished, and how much more growth or knowledge we have yet to gain before we reach our end goal. This leadership development plan serves as a guide towards my leadership goals through the review of leadership competencies, the perception of my current leadership abilities using 360 peer evaluations, my self-assessment

I was able to increase the benefit of task management but still struggled to maintain the efficiency that comes along with that due to losing a case manager and taking on the entire case load myself. Understanding different perspectives has always come easy to me, however, learning to quite myself when my integrity is challenged because of someone else’s perspective was a definite challenge to me. I felt that the objective of learning what effective leadership can accomplish was the one that was successful. After shadowing Barb, I learned effective communication techniques, how to inspire the staff with vision and drive and how to have integrity in the midst of turmoil. Applying this practicum to becoming a baccalaureate-prepared nurse will come in time.

During these past weeks at the Archbold ER, I had the opportunity to put into practice many of the content learned in class. This included but was not limited to the proper placement of a Foley catheter using sterile techniques, insertion of an NG tube, and assessment of patients. Even though I attempted to complete some of my initial goals for this internship, I noticed that I couldn’t complete a few of them due to lack of time and lack of experience in the field.

Evolution from Novice to a Beginning Professional Nurse Looking back when I started my nursing school, I can proudly say that I have evolved both physically and psychologically. I was not sure if nursing was the right choice for me at first because I had difficulties interacting with people outside my family circle. The first semester was challenging for me because I did not know how to interact with my class mates and felt isolated each time there is a class activity. I joined a study group later that semester and it has been an excitement ever since.
