Step 2: Summary of Analysis

Craft a summary (2-3 paragraph) below that includes the following:

· Describe your approach to identifying and analyzing peer-reviewed research

· Identify at least two strategies that you would use that you found to be effective in finding peer-reviewed research

· Identify at least one resource you intend to use in the future to find peer-reviewed research

. My approach in identifying and analyzing peer-reviewed reach is to assess the quality of articles submitted for publication in the scholarly journal. The author of an article must submit it to the journal editor, who will then forward the article to experts in the field which is consider the “peer review”. The peer review are charged with careful evaluate the quality of the submit manuscript. After which they now check the manuscript for accuracy and assess the validity of the research methodology and procedures, if appropriate and accurate, they will suggest revisions. A peer reviewed journal will not be published articles that fail to meet the standards established for a given discipline, peer reviewed that are accepted articles that are accepted for publication exemplify the best research practices in a field.

. Two strategies that you I would use that I found to be effective in the finding peer-reviewed research are 1. Does the article have been published in a scholarly journal and 2. Is the journal in which I found the article published or sponsored by professional scholarly society; professional association or university academic department. Does it describe itself as a peer-reviewed?

. One research I intended to use in the future to find peer-reviewed research; is to search the online library databases. Many of which include peer-reviewed journals, read the databases description to determine if it features peer-reviewed articles. When search for articles, choose the advanced search option on the search screen to look for a checkbox that allows you to limit results to peer-reviewed only.

Professional goals

Maintaining a unique engagement within my professional development will be guided by my professional goals which provide a strong emphasis on necessary changes which help attain improved outcomes within my professional wellbeing. My interests include promoting positive and quality healthcare among patients as well as ensuring that they can receive and lead normal lives. NURS 6003 Academic and Professional Success Development Plan Template

My professional goals include

1. Provide excellent patient-centered care

2. Increase technology skills

3. focus on continuing education

4. Develop interpersonal skills

5. Become an expert

Attaining these goals requires strong commitment within my work and focus on defining the improved understanding of basic concepts which help create a highly engaged professional development. Attaining my professional goals is a systematic process which will provide a unique emphasis on crucial changes which help maintain an improved level of personal satisfaction.

Self-satisfaction is an important thing that defines my engagement in the helping profession because it provides a strong focus on my personal needs and development goals. My personal goals revolve around having a strong influence on the lives of many people. NURS 6003 Academic and Professional Success Development Plan Template. Having such consideration provides a strong focus on positive values which define a greater emphasis on critical elements that can improve individual development. My values have also formed a significant role in determining my attention to helping others.

I have a strong passion for serving others. Being a servant even when in high positions shows that I share the feeling and experiences of people who need my help. Being available when they need me is integral to achieving a higher level of commitment. Passion helps in determining elements, which represent the decisions that are made regarding the best approach to counter specific problems. It is fulfilling to have a positive influence on the wellbeing of another person especially when the perceived control might be instrumental in shaping his or her future success. NURS 6003 Academic and Professional Success Development Plan Template.

Step 3: Alignment with Social Change

Use the space below to write a statement proposing how you might align one or more of your professional development goals with the University’s emphasis on social change.

Alignment with social change

Social changes are based on the ability to understand the underlying factors which provide a greater emphasis on essential elements which help attain more significant outcomes. My professional goals are committed to creating meaningful social change especially considering the need to provide a unique focus on crucial elements which help define improved outcomes within the healthcare setting. NURS 6003 Academic and Professional Success Development Plan Template. As a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, I have an obligation towards my clients who will be positively engaged based on excellent patient-centered care. Technology skills will help in managing patient medical information which is private and confidential.

Working in a culturally diverse healthcare organization has been essential in building a healthy level of commitment where it is possible to achieve the underlying goals. Analytical skills that define my wellbeing include communication skills. Communication skills integrate many concepts which include the complete package. Every individual has needs which are essential in creating a highly diverse understanding of necessary measures that can ensure that I am positively influenced within my work engagement. The development of this plan is aimed at improving my experience across different workplace settings. NURS 6003 Academic and Professional Success Development Plan Template.

Crafting a strong personal, coherent, public identity or brand will be based on my personal and professional development to ensure that there is no conflict between these elements. Therefore, in providing that I develop a strong professional identity communication plan, I will develop an e-portfolio through the institution, which I will use to integrate critical information about myself and my perspective. An e-portfolio is essential considering that employers can access it can assess my quality and ability to improve on my skills and professional development.

Mr. Schneider encouraged me to stop procrastinating and to go ahead and get started with the program.

Week 2 | Part 2: Academic Resources and Strategies

I have identified the following academic resources and/or strategies that can be applied to success in the nursing practice in general or my specialty in particular. NURS 6003 Academic and Professional Success Development Plan Template

Academic Resource/Strategy 1

Writing is not one of my strong points. With the help of Walden’s writing center, I plan to become a better APA writer. Without Walden’s writing center, I would probably struggle as a masters nursing student. Walden’s writing center provides students with one on one paper reviews, live chats, webinars, and much more (Walden, 2019). Walden’s writing center provides students like myself with resources that can help make masters level writing much more manageable. Becoming a better writer will help me as a practicing nurse because it will help me to be able to think critically. Knowing how to write academically is very important because it allows you to communicate your thoughts without speaking as a student and a professional. NURS 6003 Academic and Professional Success Development Plan Template

Walden University. (2019). Writing center. Retrieved March 17, 2019, from

https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter

Academic Resource/Strategy 2

Having a team or individual to keep you on track with required courses is very important. Having a specific schedule and timeline helps motivate me to continue on with my education. Academic advising helps me by informing me of the classes that I am required to take and by giving me specifics on when they will start and finish. They can also help me to make a schedule that can go along with my life and responsibilities. With the help of Academic advising, I will complete my goal of getting my master’s degree in a timely manner. NURS 6003 Academic and Professional Success Development Plan Template

Academic Resource/Strategy 3

Walden’s Library is an important academic resource. This library allows me to find articles needed for the many paper assignments and discussion boards that have to be completed during my course of study. Walden’s Library allows me to find free resources that I would otherwise have to purchase through other sites. Webinars and tutorials are also offered that help students learn how to navigate through the library to find the best resources needed to produce the best academic work. Walden’s Library also provides me with the tools needed to do the research needed to be successful academically and professionally. My plan is to use the library’s webinars and tutorials to teach me new skills to find the best resources to produce the best work academically NURS 6003 Academic and Professional Success Development Plan Template. I also plan to use the library’s data base to find scholarly articles that will help me when doing assignments.

Professional Resource/Strategy 1

The ANA is an organization that was organized to protect and advance the nursing profession. The ANA is a voice for all nurses. The ANA has a code of ethics that I currently follow as a nurse and will continue to follow as a future nurse practitioner. The code of ethics was produced to assure that all nurses including myself follow rules and regulations that protects not only the nurse but also has the best interest for the patient. My goal as a nurse practitioner is to continue to use the code of ethics that the ANA provided to provide the best primary health care to my future patients.

Professional Resource/Strategy 2

My state nursing organization is the Mississippi Nurses Association. The vision of the Mississippi Nurses’ Association (MNA) is to be one strong voice for Mississippi Nurses (MS Nurses Association, 2019). The mission of MNA is to promote registered professional nursing practice through advocacy, education, research and partnership (MS Nurses Association, 2019). The Mississippi Nurses Association can help me by supporting my goals in becoming a nurse advocate for the people of rural Mississippi. My plan is to create new policies in my specific state that helps bring affordable and reliable health care to the people in rural Mississippi. The MNA will also help me to be able to network as a student and professional and learn from other nurses in my area. NURS 6003 Academic and Professional Success Development Plan Template Meeting new people and observing new point of views will help me with my goal of becoming a successful student and future nurse practitioner.

Professional Resource/Strategy 3

Currently in the state of Mississippi, there are a lot of people who have uncontrolled Type 2 diabetes. As a student this organization will expand my knowledge of Type 2 diabetes. My plan as a nurse practitioner is to increase awareness about the disease. To achieve my goal of increasing awareness my plan is to join the American Association of Diabetes Educators. This organization will teach me to elevate my role as an expert at the clinical and behavioral aspects of diabetes care (American Diabetic Association, 2019). I also would like to improve patient outcomes after they have been diagnosed with diabetes. I feel that with the American Association of Diabetes Educators I will be able to achieve my goals.
