Professional Growth Plan
Over the next few years, I would like to work on my personal and professional goals in order to prepare myself for a career in education. It is important for anyone entering the educational industry to fully understand the values and principles involved in teaching others or creating educational programs for others.
Therefore, my overall professional growth plan centers on developing the knowledge and values needed to provide others with limitless academic and physical opportunities. I plan to study and assess these values and principles in preparation for y career.
Whether I enter the educational industry as a teacher, curriculum planner, or one of many other positions in the field, it is important to me that my career focuses on technology, as it is one of my greatest strengths and areas of interest. Over the next year, I plan to concentrate on increasing my technical skills in preparation for my…...
Deep self-reflection and an understanding of how t blend the lessons learned about the self with those observed from the external world around the individual facilitating true Professional Growth.
Additionally, there are clear consequences for progressing further on a path of Professional Growth. For example, individuals who do proceed to grow in their career paths in clinical nursing fields will begin to transition into new paths and structures as they learn more about themselves as active agents within flexible health strategies. There are a number of transitions that help facilitate Professional Growth, and are in fact, different for every individual based on circumstances and self-awareness levels. These transitions help push the individual further along in their goal of Professional Growth and help provide a foundation for future learning of new stage developments as they continue to grow. Essentially, "transitions have been defined as passages or movements from one state, condition, or…...

Leadership Styles
It is highly likely that I will be able to develop high quality leadership traits with the passage of time.
Values and personality:
It is hard to become familiar with your personality because you cannot see the flaws in yourself. No matter how hard you try the positive aspects will come forward leaving the negative ones far behind. But observing yourself every once in a while is the key to success. It helps you change your personality according to the situation. If I had to put my values and my personality on a piece of paper I would begin it by telling about my behavior with my closed ones, my associates and especially with the ones I deal with on daily basis. I believe on taking everyone with me and not being competitive as competitiveness leads you nowhere. It might lead you to success somehow but leaves you with no friends…...

eflective JournalI have accomplished various educational goals and professional development from various program components in this program. Different program elements are designed to accomplish different kinds of professional growth, as will be reflected herein. The engagement with concepts and theories of liberal education has resulted in their integration into my nursing practice. It involves the practice of culturally congruent care as espoused in the nursing theory. Integrating nursing theories and models is critical for developing a modern nursing practice that improves patient outcomes and contextualizes the nursing environment in different environments (Brooks et al., 2019). Consequently, I have developed a holistic understanding of the human experience across the life span and the unique needs for treatment at different levels of treatment.The program has facilitated the development of leadership skills, critical thinking, and teamwork skills that have facilitated the ability to coordinate care among interprofessional, deliver high-quality nursing care. I now…...

Professional Association
Professional Organization for Nursing
In the past, a number of individuals inside every society started delivering care and nutrition for all those who had been struggling to look after themselves. Because these people became 'care specialists,' they started to express to other individuals the procedures that helped them and also to train other individuals as apprentices who would probably at some point continue their function. The advancement of contemporary nursing starting from some sort of vocation, towards the profession and discipline of nursing, started during the later part of the 1800s when Florence Nightingale stated her perspectives on the way nurses ought to be taught and schooled and just how patient care ought to be offered (Hegge, 2011).
The very first schooling institution for nurses within the U.S. established during 1873. Two decades afterwards nursing school managers sensed the moment had arrived to interact as well as discuss their best practices…...

Professional Counseling
The relevance of counseling as a helping profession cannot be overstated. This is more so the case taking into consideration the role counseling plays towards the facilitation of the development of not only an individual but also a family or even a group.
Counseling as a Distinct Profession: The History and Philosophy of the Profession
Marini and Stebnicki (2008) point out that although counseling as a term made its first appearance (in print) sometimes in the year 1931, the practice of the same had started earlier on. It is important to note that although the roots of counseling as a helping relationship can be traced to the early omanian and Greek times, the actual development of the counseling profession as we know it today largely started taking place in the late 1800s. In the words of Marini and Stebnicki (2008), "the origins of the counseling profession in the United States have…...

Acting With Integrity and Fairness
Reflecting on personal ethics encourages the educator to be self-aware and make improvements. Acting with integrity and fairness promotes a culture of accountability within the school because each teacher remains committed to taking responsibility and for collaborating with others to achieve common goals. Integrity is not just about conforming to “simplistic notions of right and wrong,” but making difficult decisions with multiple variables (Gorlewski, Gorlewski & Ramming, 2012, p. 1). Fairness implies the ability to weigh different variables, set priorities, and remain committed to student-centered goals. Minority viewpoints need to be heard, and a good leader applies transformational skills that empower others to have the courage to speak their truth. As a leader, I act with integrity when I remain true to my values and committed to the goals of the organization, setting aside my pride or need to be right in order to focus on…...
Professional Nursing OrganizationsAs a member of Hackensack Meridian Health, which is a health network providing a range of healthcare services, I can attest to the value of professional nursing organizations. Hackensack Meridian itself may not technically fall within the classic professional nursing organization concept. However, nurses within its network often benefit from being part of professional nursing organizations, such as American Nurses Association (ANA). This paper will discuss the significance of these organizations and the advantages they provide.Professional Nursing Organizations ExplainedProfessional nursing organizations are designed to represent and advocate for the interests of nurses and the nursing profession at large (Chiu et al., 2020). These entities range from broad, generalist organizations such as the ANA, which serves the interests of all registered nurses in the United States, to specialty groups like the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN) or the Emergency Nurses Association (ENA), which focus on specific areas of…...

Action esearch eflectionAs I reflect on my action research findings throughout my MSED program at Walden University, I find that I am ready to implement serious changes in my professional practice. These changes are the fruit of much thoughtful investigation and evidence, and with them I aim to refine my teaching strategies and create a collaborative environment among my peers. Grounded in the SMAT goal-setting frameworkspecific, measurable, attainable, realistic, timely, and tangiblethese goals will guide my actions and ensure their effectiveness in my educational practice.The first major change involves the use of technology in the classroom. The action research underscored the pivotal role of technology in boosting student engagement and facilitating personalized learning experiences. Therefore, my specific goal is to integrate more educational technology tools to enrich learning outcomes. I will measure the success of this initiative through a targeted 20% increase in student engagement scores, as reported in end-of-semester…...

Applications in the ClassroomIn reflecting on the design elements of these courses, one component that resonates strongly with me is the creation of authentic learning tasks, which we experienced through the development of our personal educational philosophies and teaching websites. I believe this concept would be highly effective in my own school setting.In my high school physics classroom, I can incorporate the design of authentic learning tasks through a project-based learning (PBL) approach. A specific context could involve designing and conducting physics experiments to solve real-world problems. For instance, students could be tasked with creating energy-efficient models of homes, applying concepts of thermodynamics and energy conservation. This would not only involve theoretical understanding but also practical applications and problem-solving skills. Additionally, a platform could be created where students share their findings and reflections, fostering a learning community akin to our course website.The anticipated impact on my P-12 students would be…...
The Culture of NursingAs Smith (2019) points out, Madeleine Leininger\\\'s Theory of Culture Care Diversity and Universality, highlighting the importance of cultural competence in nursing. Leininger\\\'s work underscores the necessity of understanding and respecting cultural differences in care practices. The theory suggests that global migrations and the diversity of cultures necessitate a more culturally congruent approach to nursing care, moving away from a \\\"one size fits all\\\" methodology. It introduces concepts like transcultural nursing, the Sunrise Enabler Model, and Collaborative Care as means to address cultural conflicts and improve patient satisfaction and health outcomes. This perspective is crucial for developing a workplace culture that values diversity and supports colleagues in a way that enhances care for all.To support our colleagues and care for ourselves, developing an environment of mutual respect, continuous learning about cultural competence, and implementing culturally sensitive care practices are essential. Engaging in open dialogues about cultural differences,…...

Happy on the Job: Is Employment Satisfaction among Saudi Nurses necessary for working Suitably in the Professional Settings and Improved Quality of Healthcare.
When it comes to Saudi Arabia, nursing plays a major role in any health care system. Many evidences support the quality of nursing care and patient outcome. Patient interact with nurses more than any other health profession. Improved level of job satisfaction among Saudi nurses will be significant in the delivery of quality healthcare to the patients. Variable such as appropriate wages, effective facilities, healthy environment, professionalism, suitable working hours, and successful management will improve the level of job satisfaction among Saudi nurses. The correlation between impaired job satisfaction levels of nurses will affect their performance in the clinical settings, which will certainly result in the poor quality of healthcare. Thus, job satisfaction among Saudi nurses is necessary for working appropriately in the professional settings and improved…...

Things that surprised me
The chapter on collective bargaining has some surprising aspects with respect to nursing. Collective bargaining has a number of difficulties while being implemented at nursing profession. Nurses have a number of predicaments that can easily bar them from accessing and delivering quality services to patients. In order to arrive at an equitable ground where success is determined and assessed by use of collective bargaining, nurses and any other worker should exist in groups of palatable ground of service.
As indicted in chapter 17 of the book, nurses and many people working in organizations have difficulties in accessing policies that demonstrate their capabilities. Nurses encounter difficulties, which are often directed to their organizations. Nursing is a difficult activity that deserves a lot of sacrifice and affection from the people involved. Moreover, it is surprising to know that there are no direct segments within a health service…...
