Nursing informatics is a discipline that is still evolving. Yet, there is a set of core skills and knowledge that applies to all individuals who work as nurse informaticists and many competencies that are specific to informatics roles, positions, tasks, and responsibilities. For example, a nurse informaticist who works as a consultant for a health care technology company and a nurse informaticist who works as a professor at a university will share much of the same expertise and knowledge. However, they will also have distinct competencies specific to their unique roles.

In this Discussion, you explore informatics competencies within the informatics functional area you selected for the Week 1 Assignment.

To prepare:

Review nursing informatics competencies such as those outlined by the American Nurses Association (ANA), the Technology Informatics Guiding Education Reform (TIGER), and the Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN).
Review this week?s media presentation Competencies for Nurse Informaticists, and reflect on the competencies outlined by the presenters.
Recall the informatics functional area you identified in the Week 1 Assignment. With this in mind, what competencies would be most important for you to master? How might you go about developing these competencies?
Create a list of competencies you would like to master.
Post on or before Day 3 a brief description of the informatics functional area in which you are interested. Then, identify at least four ANA, TIGER and/or QSEN competencies that you believe to be vital for success in this functional area, and justify your choices. Explain how you might successfully develop and master each of these competencies.

Suggest other competencies that might also be important for success and explain why.
Validate a competency with your own experience and additional research.

During week one I selected the role of a nurse educator.. See attachment
Analyze theories and conceptual frameworks pertinent to nursing informatics initiatives, evaluate application of theories or conceptual framework

My interest are staff education and patient education

Discussion questions
The quality of comments is as important as the quantity, so students are expected to be reflective in their original posts and responses (i.e. not cut and paste from a website or reiterate material directly from the textbook)

The purpose of this assignment is to synthesize one strategy for the application of a specific nursing theory to resolving a problem or issue of nursing practice in nursing leadership, nursing education, nursing informatics, or health policy.

Content
1. Introduction to the paper includes a few general statements on the idea of nursing theory being applied to solve problems/issues in nursing practice, regardless of the specialty area of practice. For example, why would one pick a nursing theory to solve a practice problem? Would a grand, middle-range, or practice theory be best? Does the writer have any experience in using nursing theory this way? In addition, a brief one-paragraph summary of a specific nursing theory and information on the sections of the paper are provided. The selected nursing theory can be a grand theory, a middle-range theory, or a practice theory.
2. Description of the problem/issue for which strategies will be developed. The problem to be resolved must be in nursing leadership, nursing education, nursing informatics, or health policy. Scholarly evidence supporting the issue is included. The problem/issue could be local to ones specific practice setting. For example, the setting might be a nursing unit, a nursing-education program, an informatics department, or a health-policy unit of a consulting firm. The problem/issue needs to be something that a nursing theory can impact, whether it solves the actual problem/issue or enables people affected by the problem/issue to deal with it. It is best if the problem/issue is from real life ??" something the writer of the paper has dealt with or is currently engaged in.
Some examples (these are fictitious examples)
a. A nursing unit has experienced rapid turnover of professional staff, including several nurse managers. A new nurse manager from outside of the nursing unit is appointed.

Please research and comment on the following five.


1. A dynamic curriculum is one in which includes all of the concepts such as caring, self-care, diversity, growth and development, nursing process, adaptation, informatics and evidence-based practice and the identification of what is relevant for practice in the future. Requisite knowledge and competencies are centered around what nurses do with their knowledge through their education. Current health care trends that affect curriculum development and program outcomes include the increasing severity of patients' illnesses from acute care settings to community based settings and the increasing demand from the public for high quality health care at affordable prices. Other indices include increased emphasis on patient safety and quality assurance. (Billings & Halstead, 2012). One nursing educational institution acknowledged that most the changes have been promoted by the shifting of demographics, technology, informatics and the globalization of society. Nurses make up the largest number of providers of healthcare services continue to be essential. Their curriculum is subject to rigorous review and frequent adjustments. The nurse educator is challenged to stream line content and identify essential concepts to prepare the graduates for entry into practice. (Faison & Montaue, 2013). I think schools of nursing need to evaluate the clinical experience as well. Because hospital stays are shortened, other alternative practice sites need to be incorporated into the student's portfolio. Limited opportunities for skills such as IV insertion and complex dressing changes may not present themselves due to the hospital restrictions for the students. This particular school of nursing implemented webinars for the faculty to view, integrated new essential competencies into the nursing curriculum from the quality and safety education for nurses (QSEN). The results were positive in that the nurses continue to be delivery effective and safe care in their pre-licensure program. (Faison & Montague, 2013).

Faison, K., & Montague, F. (2013). Paradigm Shift: Curriculum shift. ABNF Jurnal, 24(1), 21-22.


2. There are a number of important areas in a dynamic nursing curriculum. To me, the following are the areas that are most important. Patient-centered care is essential in every nursing care curriculum as the patient is why we have become nurses. According to Morris and Hancock (2013), students and faculty agree that patient-centered care should be integrated into the curriculum. Students and faculty also agree that learning to be a part of an interdisciplinary team is needed in curricula. However, interdisciplinary team interaction is an area that needs work to ensure that the students are an active part of the team. Evidence-based practice is also an area that is very important. However, in the clinical settings this seems to be lagging in implementation. Applying quality improvement ranked low in both student and faculty opinion. However, I see this as a very important part of nursing curricula, as once you are in the work force this is a very important part of nursing practice. Utilizing informatics is an area that students and faculty agree is important to include in curricula as healthcare is required to use a computer system. The computer is also needed for classes the nursing programs and online learning.

To me, a dynamic nursing curriculum is one that gives the students a love of nursing, knowledge, skills, and competencies to have the basics to start their career as a professional nurse.

3. How could students motivate other faculty to continuously strive to improve curriculum?



4. "Competency statements identify the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that students need to develop if they are to achieve program outcomes" (Billings & Halstead, 2012, p. 150). The advantage to utilizing a mid curriculum competency test or exam is to validate and assess, from the educator's perspective, that students are at the expected level of progress during a course timeframe. Students are expected to apply knowledge acquired toward patient case examples. The competency statements are valuable in determining the student's learning since it will provide the assessment for the student evaluation (Billings & Halstead, 2012).
Another advantage for the student with the mid curriculum tests is to confirm by test scores how they are acquiring and applying the course material into cognitive understanding. It can also become a tool for the student to assess their strengths and weaknesses in a given topic area where remedial assistance can provide improvement or to validate the effectiveness of their study skills and habits in a fast-paced, information dense curriculum.
A disadvantage to a comprehensive competency test is that faculty would need to spend additional classroom minutes to review previously learned material. Students can also feel that re-testing previously tested material can be very redundant, and not an area of priority for review.

5. One of the key components of a nursing program is to promote highly competent nurses that will have the ability, knowledge, and skills necessary to administer care to various individuals. Developing high levels of competency program accommodates nurses the knowledge necessary to provide the safe and efficient care possible. In such a complex health care as we have today the safety and the best outcomes of our patients is our priority. In order to measure the skills and competency of a nurse a test must be given such as a mid-curriculum which would be a great advantage for evaluation of success. According to our textbook, ?Learning occurs at various levels, and the level of learning needs to be explicit stated in the competencies faculty generated for each level within the curriculum.? (Billings & Halstead, 2009, pg. 151). A level of competency is something that achieve gradually as the student proceed to the curriculum, and one way to evaluate that competency is by testing. As mentioned by the author of our textbook, on disadvantage is that ?Students are often resistant to changes in the way in which they receive instruction because understanding new way of learning is stressful.? (Billings & Halstead, 2009, pg. 157). Any changes in life always bring stresses especially in the area of education where test involve, but the advantages outweigh the disadvantage in the long run. Not only passing a course is stressful but to some students financial burdens might be their greatest issues.

Teaching in Nursing Education
The most competent nurse educators understand not only the scope of their responsibilities, but also the historical, social, and organizational forces that continue to shape their profession. In this weeks Discussion, you will examine the ways in which nursing education has changed in recent years and describe the forces that led to this change. You will also identify traits of the most and least effective nurse educators you have had and analyze their approach to teaching. Finally, you will reflect on your own experiences as a nurse educator, relating your current teaching skills to the core competencies as identified by the National League for Nursing.
As you post your comments, be sure to draw on relevant concepts and terminology from your previous course, NURS 6300, as well as this weeks Learning Resources.

With these thoughts in mind: Post your thoughts on teaching in nursing, addressing the following:



How has nursing education changed since you first entered the nursing profession? Explain societal, economic, and political forces that might have impacted this change in nursing education.

Identify the most effective nurse educator you have encountered. What made this educator so effective? Identify core competencies that demonstrate their effectiveness as you describe at least one specific instance in which you analyzed this persons approach to teaching, describing at least one specific instance in which you felt he or she expertly facilitated your learning.

Describe the educator you have found to be the least effective. Again, analyze this persons teaching and offer reasons for your negative learning experience.

Briefly describe your experience so far as a nurse educator??"of patients, other nurses, community groups, and so on. Then select one of the core competencies in the NLN article Core Competencies of Nurse Educators with Task Statements and relate it to your teaching. Identify the two tasks listed for the competency you feel most confident in performing well, and the two you think you most need to devlop. Explain why.

There are a great many topics that you might select to investigate. Review Chapter 6: Forces and Issues Influencing Curriculum Development (Billings & Halstead, 2012), as well as Healthy People 2010 and Institute of Medicine (IOM) reports, to remind yourself of important trends and issues that have been identified within the field of nursing education. Also review the following list of general and specific topics to help you develop your search topic.
Strategies for decreasing faculty shortage


Technology


Distance education


Promotion and tenure for academic educators


Career ladders in hospitals for patient or staff educators


Impact of Magnet criteria on education programs preparing RNs


Clinical Nurse Leader as proposed by AACN


DNP as professional doctorate


AACNs proposal to recognize only two doctorates: the PhD and DNP


Strategies for specific student or workforce populations (e.g., different ethnic groups)


Specific content to address changing healthcare system (e.g., CAM or terrorism)


Social forces impacting curriculum development


Online annual competencies in staff development


Certification as a nurse educator


Staffing mix (e.g., RN:LPN:CNA ratio)
Note: Students must investigate and post on different specific topics. When you have decided on your specific topic, such as the "determining guidelines for the ideal staffing ratio of RN:LPN:CNA," post this to reserve that topic for yourself. (An exception may be made if any two students wish to post on the same specific topic and the postings can take the form of a debate: one person in favor of a position, and the other opposing it. Students wishing to engage in this kind of debate must communicate with each other to determine who will take which side in the debate.) Do not reserve a general topic, such as "technology," as this will prevent your colleagues from selecting a specific topic in this area.

After selecting your topic, read at least three scholarly references on it. (You are welcome to use any of the course's Learning Resources, but you must locate at least two new references. Be sure to consult any official position statements and Web sites, for example the AACN, ANA, and NLN Web sites and JCAHO standards, that pertain to this issue or trend.

Using Nursing Research in Practice
Welcome to Module One. This module presents nursing research's role in evidence-based nursing practice.

Objectives
After successful completion of this course, students should be able to:
Discover nursing research and evidence-based practice.
Synthesize nursing research into professional nursing practice.
Articulate evidence-based practice as a foundation for nursing administration and leadership.
Evaluate the role of nursing research in evidence-based practice.

Readings
Polit, D. F., & Beck, C. T. (2008). Nursing Research: Generating and Assessing Evidence for Nursing Practice, (8th ed.).
Chapters 1, 2 and 3.

Assignments
Exercises (10 points each):
Develop a nursing research question.
Describe how the nursing research question addresses evidence-based practice.
Describe the differences between world-view paradigms and naturalistic paradigms.
Discuss the role of the evidence hierarchy.

Discussion Question
[10 Points]
Compare and contrast evidence-based practice to non-evidence-based practice in advanced nursing roles (practice, education, administration).

Summary
Module one discusses the role of evidence-based practice in advanced nursing. The role of the nursing research question in nursing research is also explored. Nursing research is the systematic study of issues important to nursing practice. The research is based on studies that provide empirical evidence regarding appropriate nursing practice. Without nursing research, many forms of tradition, convention, and hearsay have provided treatments that are ineffective or inappropriate. In nursing research, two paradigms drive the research process. Nursing research is the effort of discovering information that will drive treatment and provide objective information about nursing decisions. The utilization of research in nursing is defined by the role of the research in providing care that is appropriate and effective. When assessing nursing research for implementation into practice a nursing hierarchy is frequently used that will assess the value of the research to practice. In spite of the many benefits of evidence-based practice, there are barriers to implementation. These barriers include the limited nature of nursing research, which has only been recognized as viable research since the last quarter of the 20th century. Synthesizing nursing research into evidence-base practice is desired outcome. For instance, the practitioner may consult clinical guidelines for recommendations for best practices--- these clinical guidelines come from nursing research. A nurse educator may implement evidence-based teaching strategies based on current research about effective teaching methods.

Purpose:
The purpose of this assignment is to synthesize one strategy for HILDEGARD E. PEPLAU
INTERPERSONAL theory to resolving a problem or issue of nursing practice in nursing leadership, nursing education,nursing informatics, or health policy.

Through this assignment, a student will demonstrate the ability to:

1. Analyze Hildegard E. Peplau and relevant fields with respect to their components,
relationships among the components, logic of the propositions, comprehensiveness, and utility to
advanced nursing.
2. Communicate the analysis of and proposed strategies for the use of Hildegard E Peplau interpersonal theory in nursing practice.
3. Demonstrate logical and creative thinking in the analysis and application of Hildegard E Peplau interpersonal theory tonursing practice.


Description of the Assignment:
Content
1. Introduction to the paper includes a few general statements on the idea of Hildegard E Peplau interpersonal theory
being applied to solve problems/issues in nursing practice, regardless of the specialty area of practice. For example, why would one pick Hildegard E Peplau theory to solve a practice problem? Would a grand, middle-range, or practice theory be best? Does the writer have any experience in using nursing theory this way? In addition, a brief one-paragraph summary of Hildegard E Peplau and information on the sections of the paper are provided the selected nursing theory can be a grand theory, a middle-range theory, or a practice theory.

2. Description of the problem/issue for which strategies will be developed. The problem to be resolved must be in nursing leadership, nursing education, nursing informatics, or health policy. Scholarly evidence (in the form of a literature review) supporting the issue is included. The problem/issue could be local to one?s specific practice setting. For example, the setting might be a nursing unit, a nursing-education program, an informatics department,
or a health-policy unit of a consulting firm. The problem/issue needs to be something that a nursing theory can impact, whether it solves the actual problem/issue or enables people affected by the problem/issue to deal with it. It is best if the problem/issue is from real life ?something the writer of the paper has dealt with or is currently engaged in.
Some examples (these are fictitious examples)
a. A nursing unit has experienced rapid turnover of professional staff, including several
nurse managers. A new nurse manager from outside of the nursing unit is appointed.
b. Informatics nurse specialists face a lot of resistance from all healthcare professionals
to implementation of a computer-based order entry program. The implementation
date will not be changed.
c. A nurse educator is assigned to take over a large class of undergraduate nursing students, with a mix of young adults and adults returning for a second degree. The subject is difficult, students have not been doing well, and frustration and tempers are impeding group work.
d. A health-policy nurse specialist works for a consulting firm that lobbies on behalf of many healthcare professions. Within the specialist?s work unit, there is much debate over the pros and cons of various policies being proposed for attention in the coming year.
3. Applying concepts and principles from the selected theory, one strategy for resolving the identified issue is described in depth. Details on how the theory would be applied are included (consider: who, what, when, where, and how). Rationales for the strategy as well as evidence from scholarly literature are included. One ethical and/or legal aspect of the strategy is discussed. Expected outcome(s) from implementing the strategy are proposed.
4. Concluding statements include new knowledge about applying nursing theory gained by writing the paper

Proposal


Statement of Proposal Focus
The purpose of this research proposal is to describe the experience and identify commonalities in the experience of Baccalaureate Nursing Students who utilized Elsevier Reach standardized case studies when preparing for the Elsevier Reach Exit Examination and ultimately the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). NCLEX-RN passing rates are an issue of importance for nursing faculty because they affect accreditation of programs as well as a schools reputation. The Elsevier Reach Exit Examination is predictive of success on the NCLEX-RN examination; this information will be invaluable to nursing educators as they struggle with not only educating their students, but also ensuring their success on the licensing examination. The criteria for utilizing Elsevier Reach case studies is that baccalaureate programs will use the Elsevier Reach case studies weekly during the final three semesters in the curriculum. This experience may encourage more Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) programs to use Elsevier Reach standardized case studies. For this qualitative research, a phenomenological study of a population of students nurses who have utilized the Elsevier Reach case studies and have completed the Elsevier Reach Exit Examination.
Research Question
What is the experience of baccalaureate nursing students who use the Elsevier Reach standardized case studies in preparing for the Elsevier Reach exit examination?
