  • Title: Evaluating the Effectiveness of a New Course in the Nursing Curriculum: A Systematic Process Title: Program Evaluation: Design, Process, and Data Analysis in Nursing Education

    Create a PowerPoint presentation with 10-12 slides that proposes a systematic process for determining the effectiveness of the new course you have added to the nursing curriculum.
    Introduction
    Course analytics are important in guiding the revision process as well as further development of your evaluation strategies and documentation. As a nursing educator, you must establish and maintain analytical data to demonstrate to your stakeholders that your course is meeting the learning and program outcomes in order to gain approval to move forward with the new course.
    Program effectiveness depends not only on internal factors, but also on external factors. Course outcomes should be based on the program learning outcomes and placed in an evaluation plan. Program outcomes evaluate the effectiveness of the whole program and what your course will contribute to meeting these outcomes.
    Overview
    Create and record a PowerPoint presentation with 10–12 slides that proposes a systematic process for determining the effectiveness of the new course you have added to the nursing curriculum.
    While you will not have access to real analytical data from real learners to show how the course is meeting the learning and program outcomes, you should still be able to use the formative feedback from the instructor you received for your earlier assessments, as well as scholarly research, to think critically about a process that could potentially guide improvement efforts for the nursing program in which the course is being hypothetically offered.

  • Proposal for a Nurse Informaticist Position in a Healthcare Organization Introduction: – Explain the role of nurses at the baccalaureate level in nursing informatics – Highlight the importance of nurses demonstrating knowledge and skills in health information and patient Title: “The Role of Nursing Informatics in Health Care: Strategies for Effective Implementation and Management of Electronic Health Information”

    INTRODUCTION
    Nurses at the baccalaureate level in all practice areas are involved in nursing informatics through interaction with information management and patient care technologies. Nurses must not only demonstrate knowledge of and skills in health information and patient care technologies, but also how to use these tools at the bedside and organizational levels. Moreover, nurses need to recognize how information gathered from various health information sources can impact decision making at the national and state regulatory levels.
    PREPARATION
    As you begin to prepare this assessment, you are encouraged to complete the Team Perspectives of the Nurse Informaticist activity. Completion of this will help you succeed with the assessment as you explore the nurse informaticist’s role from the different perspectives of the health care team. Completing activities is also a way to demonstrate engagement.
    To successfully prepare for this assessment, you will need to complete these preparatory activities:
    Review assessment resources and activities.
    Review the focus of the new nurse informaticist position you will propose by examining the Assessment 01 Supplement: Nursing Informatics in Health Care [PDF] Download Assessment 01 Supplement: Nursing Informatics in Health Care [PDF]resource.

  • “Advocating for Health Equity and Inclusion: Supporting the LGBTQIA Community in My Community”

    One vulnerable population I would like to highlight in my community is the LGBTQIA population. For very real and very personal reasons, I support this population. My middle son came out to me after he turned 19, telling me he was engaged to a man. He has since married his partner and I have since gained a son-in-law who makes me meals and gives me fashion tips. Last year my nephew came out to my sister telling her that he was transgender. He has started the process of becoming a woman. My sister then met a man whose daughter came out to him as transgender. She has also started the process of becoming a man.  
    Key characteristics of the LGBTQIA population are the diverse identities, youthful population, geographic location, mental health disparities, and social disadvantages (Medina-Martínez et al., 2021).  Social disadvantages the LGBTQIA population faces are discrimination and stigma when it comes to different aspects of their lives, education, employment, and seeking healthcare (Medina-Martínez et al., 2021). One health practice that puts this population at risk is their sexual preference. They are at increased risk for sexually transmitted diseases as well as sexual assault. Another risk factor of this population is they may delay seeking care due to fear or discrimination (Medina-Martínez et al., 2021).
    As an advanced nurse, I can carry out various interventions to reduce health inequities in LGBTQIA people by offering programs on inclusive sex education, sexual and gender diversity, bullying, and suicide prevention (Medina-Martínez et al., 2021). I can also advocate for this population, by creating safe inclusive places for care, engaging with the community to provide support, and participating in campaigns to raise public awareness thus reducing the stigma surrounding the LGBTQIA community. Wyoming has a very conservative closed-minded mentality surrounding the LGBTQIA community. It’s still very much the cowboy way around here. Luckily one community is becoming more progressive. Casper, Wyoming has a local pride festival where members of the LGBTQIA are free to be as they are and feel welcomed. During this festival, businesses set up booths, educate, discuss, and talk with members of the community about the services offered all while raising awareness. Finally, I can work with national organizations like the Nurse Association to promote health equality and raise awareness for the LGBTQIA community.
