Good morning Professor and fellow students,
Here we are in the
last discussion of the class. Time has gone by quick here. This has
been a great class and easing myself back into the classroom environment
has been enjoyable. I hope to see you all in my future courses as well.
Now on with the show…
The AACN BSN Essential that I have
chosen to discuss today is Essential IV: Information Management and
Application of Patient Care Technology. Graduates must have basic
competence in technical skills, which includes the use of computers, as
well as the application of patient care technologies such as monitors,
data gathering devices, and other technological supports for patient
care interventions (AACN Essentials, 2018).
Previously being in
the tech field before entering nursing, I’ve seen a lot of nurses and
even doctors having trouble with the technology whether it’s the
computers, scanners, software, etc. There is so much that can be done
with the technology but it just needs to be taught properly and in a way
that won’t make the user feel it’s too complicated. I see my career
vision being nursing informatics. I feel I could be a great asset to
help others not feel intimidated by the technology. The ideal
professional nursing career vision would include nursing-related
passions (Hood, 2018, p. 552).
Essential V: Health care policy,
Finance, and Regulatory Environments seem to be one for the most part
that wouldn’t impact my future practice too much. The Healthcare policy
is very important but the finance and regulatory stuff I would leave to
the much higher powers that be.
