Blog Week of April 5
This week we got to apply the principles we have learned in class to our case study. We typed up an outline to guide our discussion with the class; each taking responsibility for a section. We have planned to ask for class involvement and then share our ideas we came up with. Dealing with staffing shortages while maintaining a good work environment is a challenge, but we have come up with some creative solutions. Have to wait for the presentation to hear the details. I'm waiting for Lesson 14 to come up on black board, so that's all for now.

Lesson 13: The Future of Nursing Leadership
In your blog (Reflective Journal), discuss where you see nursing leadership moving towards in the next five (5) and ten (10) years.
I hope that in the next 5 years, residency programs become mandatory. I was able to complete a residency program, and it did help me to transition to being an RN. I do not see nursing programs moving toward BSN programs only because the shortage of nurses is too great. Nursing in general I hope in the next 5-10 years will increase its influence on legislation for the better, but I do not think in reality it will happen. For the profession as a whole, I do not see great changes happening in the next 5-10 years. Evidence based nursing was a big recent change, now we have to continually update practices according to research.
Personally, I see my nursing leadership expanding in the next 5-10 years. I will soon take a class to train me to be a clinical coach. Then I will be able to help train new nurses better. I hope to become a charge nurse within the next 5 years. Within the next 10 years, I hope to either complete my DNP or a masters in nursing so I can teach nursing on the side of my career. Another job I would also like to try sometime within my career is to be a clinical educator. I really liked spending time with my clinical educator and would like to try that. I don't know exactly what opportunities will come my way, but I am excited to see what happens!
