Hence, if friendliness and patience are already inherent personality traits, this gives the nurse an important reserve to use when his or her energy reserves are eroded by the long hours of work. Clients who visit the hospital should always be made to feel at ease, especially in the case of shock, injury, or grief, which are often inherent components of the health care environment.
My preferred learning style is visual, with some components of the auditory learning style as well. This means that, before practical experience, I prefer to obtain information primarily by looking at it and secondarily by listening to it. Ideally, my learning environment should therefore be made up of lectures with plenty of visual material. In a hospital set-up, I learn best by observing how procedures are performed before trying it myself. Preferably, I prefer to observe the same procedure more than once or twice before trying it myself.
The above-mentioned skills and traits will then be used in creating a personal development plan by means of which I will create an opportunity for myself to improve my skills as strategic manager in the nursing profession.
Part II: Personal Development Plan
A personal development plan should always begin with some sort of self-evaluation in order to determine one's current position in terms of strength, weakness, and necessary area of development.
Since my personal development will focus on my role as strategic manager in the nursing profession, the skills necessary for this work will be a top priority. My cognitive knowledge of the medical profession and nursing ethics is excellent, although I do recognize the necessity of continued life-long learning as the profession develops.
In terms of nursing ethics and decision making, I will need to continually evaluate and assess my critical thinking skills in order to make sound decisions, especially when ethical dilemmas become the issue. Other important areas of development are my professional demeanor, my sense of responsibility, and my ability to manage emergency situations. In addition, I should also exercise my skills to liaise with the community and policy makers.
I have particular strengths in terms of personal skills and personality traits. I am highly critical in my thinking and am friendly and patient when working with people. I am able to remain calm in emergency situations and I am able to manage a number of different components of my work.
One potential area of improvement is my knowledge of health care policy and how I as strategic manager can liaise with policy makers to create a sound environment from which to be able to provide high quality professional nursing services to my clients.
Specifically, in the self-assessment component, the Cambridge Professional Academy (2012) suggests a number of questions. The first of these focuses on the current situation. My current strengths are my personal and professional skills. Areas that need continuous development include my professional knowledge. Specifically, my immediate goal is to work on the way in which I liaise with policy makers in the health care field. In the long-term, once I have liaised with such policy makers, I need to work on a strategic plan to create a mutually beneficial relationship between the hospital and policy makers.
In the long-term, my ultimate goal is to create a good relationship between my hospital and its stakeholders. These include both the community we serve and those who make the policies that influence the quality of care that we are able to provide. In the medium term, I need to create a specific plan to achieve the necessary long-term goals.
One strategy is to create a number of task teams to investigate a number of issues for me. Some can, for example, be assigned to the community to assess the various nursing needs the community is experiencing. To do this adequately, I need to cultivate good communications between myself and my teams. I also need to be able to function well in a team environment in order to lead them to reach the goals I set for them. While I am patient and friendly towards clients, I tend to become a little impatient when my coworkers do not immediately understand the facts or requirements I am trying to communicate to them. This is a skill I can develop by becoming part of other teams throughout the hospital. Some of my superiors, for example, head teams for various purposes in the hospital. I will use my powers of observation and listening to learn from how they interact with their team members. Specifically, I will request being part of some of these teams before I create teams of my own. I will then use the skills I have learned in this environment to improve my own communication skills with my subordinates.
My first step after this self-assessment is therefore to set short-term, medium-term, and long-term goals for myself. My first short-term goal is to communicate my intentions for self-development...
