Academic Success and Professional Development Plan Part 2: Academic Resources and Strategies
Academic Success and Professional Development Plan 2
In pursuing the MSN program, there are many academic and professional resources and strategies required to fully and complete the program. Generally, the nursing profession is very sensitive that requires a nurse or any other healthcare provider must be highly skilled and knowledgeable. I aspire to be a very successful healthcare provider who is all-rounded and can effectively undertake numerous duties and responsibilities Academic Success and Professional Development Plan Part 2: Academic Resources and Strategies.
The three major academic strategies applied to the MSN program include using the Walden online libraries, reading journals, and accessing nursing tutorials from nursing journals (Adams, 2007). The Walden online library has a wide range of educational materials that the students can access and use in their MSN program. The most significant advantage of this strategy is that the library can be accessed for free and very quickly.

Nursing journals and nursing tutorials are essential as I take the MSN program. They will provide a lot of insights that will help me become a more competent nurse. The journals and tutorials will be from reliable sources to avoid accessing misleading information.
The professional resources that will be critical as I take the MSN program include professional journals such as the AACN Advances of urgent care and Diabetes care journals. Other professional resources will consist of the American Nurses Association (ANA), the California Code of Regulations (CCR) as well as the Nurse Practice Act (NPA). The NPA will be essential since it will help regulate the practice of Registered Nurses, thus promoting professionalism in the healthcare sector (McMahon, 2015). The ANA helps in credentialing the nursing programs and training, which enables credibility in nursing entities’ running. The CCR regulates nursing practice, which helps ensure that only the highly professional individuals will be involved in running healthcare facilities (Murray, 2016) Academic Success and Professional Development Plan Part 2: Academic Resources and Strategies.
