AACN Essentials Paper<\/p>\n

Essential I: Liberal Education for Baccalaureate Generalist Nursing Practice<\/strong><\/p>\n

Discusses the importance of engaging in a diverse educational program designed to<\/p>\n

further the growth of nursing students into baccalaureate trained nurse generalists. Engaging the<\/p>\n

community with its ever-differing cultures and organizations is key in better understanding the<\/p>\n

needs and adjusting care to meet those needs. While the community is a phenomenal resource to<\/p>\n

explore and expand diverse thought, there are other opportunities for growth within the medical<\/p>\n

community. Collaborating within an interprofessional care team is another example of<\/p>\n

opportunities for liberal growth as a nurse.<\/p>\n

I experienced this a nursing student while taking my intermediate medical surgical<\/p>\n

clinical at Riverside University Health System. I was able to experience interprofessional care<\/p>\n

collaboration on multiple patients. Patients that need physical or occupational therapy<\/p>\n

collaboration. I was also able to grow and expand my knowledge of different cultures throughout<\/p>\n

my clinical experience there.<\/p>\n

Essential II: Basic Organizational and Systems Leadership for Quality Care and Patient<\/strong><\/p>\n

Safety<\/strong><\/p>\n

Highlights opportunities for students to grow in a non-clinical setting. This essential<\/p>\n

focuses on improving quality of care by analyzing current practice and comparing that to current<\/p>\n

evidence based practice and determining if a change needs to be made. One of the examples<\/p>\n

provided was participating in a Root Cause Analysis. Essentially, that means to examine a<\/p>\n

particular situation or problem that has or is occurring and determining if a change in practice is<\/p>\n

necessary.<\/p>\n

I was able to utilize this essential during my research course in my nursing program.<\/p>\n

Where we learned what different type of studies there. We also compared different studies and<\/p>\n

analyzed their results. I experienced a root cause analysis in the clinical setting after a patient had<\/p>\n

fallen when no one was around, and we had to find what led up to this occurrence. Once we had<\/p>\n

determined the reason for the fall, we put a fall risk on the patients wrist and a sign on the<\/p>\n

patients door.<\/p>\n

Essential III: Scholarship for Evidence Based Practice<\/strong><\/p>\n

Is all about evidence-based practices and how current practice can be improved by<\/p>\n

implementing a review. Organizing discussions to debate topics with evidence based research is<\/p>\n

one of many ways to improve the knowledge base for students, nurses, and other healthcare<\/p>\n

professionals. Peer reviews also provide opportunities for growth by encouraging peers to learn<\/p>\n

about a particular topic and collaborate with another peer by critiquing drafts about said topic<\/p>\n

and working towards a common goal of providing high level cares and practices to the nursing<\/p>\n

community.<\/p>\n

I gained insight into this essential by collaborating with other students in group projects.<\/p>\n

We would each have a section to research and then we would bring our findings to each other<\/p>\n

and discuss the importance of each one. We then would work together to present our research in<\/p>\n

an organized matter. This enhanced my professional and personable skills.<\/p>\n

Essential IV: Information Management and Application of Patient Care Technology<\/p>\n

Reviews the importance of utilizing technology to improve care and communication<\/p>\n

within an interdisciplinary team. Organizing opportunities for students to practice patient care<\/p>\n

through a virtual electronic healthcare and medical record system is essential in preparing the future nursing workforce. Developing an understanding for the patient monitoring systems and<\/p>\n

how they impact the care provided to patients is critical for nursing students.<\/p>\n

I was able to practice this essential while in my advanced critical care clinical and<\/p>\n

Riverside University Health System. While attending clinical there I was able to utilize Epic (the<\/p>\n

computer-based program for charting) to review patients medicals records and lab results. This<\/p>\n

allowed me to give better care to my patients. This also enabled me to see in real life how<\/p>\n

monitoring lab results in real time can impact patient care.<\/p>\n

Essential V: Healthcare Policy, Finance, and Regulatory Environments<\/strong><\/p>\n

Explores the costs of healthcare and how those costs affect communities. Identifying the<\/p>\n

specific costs of healthcare charged to insurance companies as opposed to the cost charged to<\/p>\n

self-pay patients is a great way of understanding the financial side of healthcare. Understanding<\/p>\n

how and why patients and insurance companies are billed the way they are is a good way of<\/p>\n

affecting the care provided. Performing those reviews can help guide nursing to eliminate<\/p>\n

needless cost, especially in the setting of self-pay patients.<\/p>\n

When working in the Emergency Medical Department at Riverside University<\/p>\n

Health I was able to see how insurance can impact a patient\u2019s care. Having health insurance is<\/p>\n

vital in obtaining adequate healthcare. Reviewing the patient\u2019s healthcare insurance and verifying<\/p>\n

that certain procedures and treatments will be approved is an important step in nursing care.<\/p>\n

Essential VI: Interprofessional Communication and Collaboration for Improving Patient<\/strong><\/p>\n

Health Outcomes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Describes the significance of collaborating and participating in an interprofessional<\/p>\n

capacity. Students should be provided simulated situations such as case studies or personal experiences to discuss practical applications of problems. Committees, such as, student<\/p>\n

governance allows students the opportunity to apply their collaborative skills to further the<\/p>\n

growth of the nursing profession as a whole through discussion.<\/p>\n

Throughout my nursing student career, I have had multiple opportunities in the<\/p>\n

simulation lab at West Coast University. The simulation lab allows us as students to act out<\/p>\n

certain roles in the nursing care of the patient. When using the simulation lab, we can look back<\/p>\n

and see where our actions might have hindered or enhanced our patient care. West Coast<\/p>\n

University also has many students governance bodies such as the Student Veterans council that<\/p>\n

help student veterans during the nursing school program.<\/p>\n

Essential VII: Clinical Prevention and Population health<\/strong><\/p>\n

Summarizes the importance of establishing a dialogue with the community in order to<\/p>\n

educate the population. Students are provided the opportunity to establish rapport with the<\/p>\n

community and develop trust through prevention-driven outreach. Events such as vaccine drives<\/p>\n

or community health fairs are just a couple of the many different clinical prevention of<\/p>\n

population health for optimized health.<\/p>\n

I learned this essential while taking my Public Health term. I volunteered at the Family<\/p>\n

Service Association of Redlands where I learned how important it is to establish rapport with<\/p>\n

community members. Creating a trusting relationship between the community and nurses is<\/p>\n

important in being able to care for patients as a whole. While volunteering there we had a food<\/p>\n

drive for homeless or people in need of food in our community that provided a huge outreach.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Essential VIII: Professionalism and Professional Values<\/strong><\/p>\n

Examines nursing professionalism and the values associated with professionalism. Ethics<\/p>\n

plays a major role in regard to nursing professionalism. Nursing is a profession that is both<\/p>\n

subjective and objective so it is important to have a strong foundation in ethics and how to deal<\/p>\n

with difficult situations. Having discussions about previous encounters or simulating scenarios is<\/p>\n

an exercise that is often utilized to guide students through ethical \u201cgray\u201d areas. Discussing<\/p>\n

patient advocacy and how\/when it should be applied is another exercise that can be utilized.<\/p>\n

I learned about ethics while taking my Ethics course in my nursing program. During this<\/p>\n

course we reviewed key concepts on ethics and popular topics such as abortion and the right to<\/p>\n

die. We also discussed gray areas of nursing such as the patient having a DNR but the family<\/p>\n

members wanting us to do life saving measures and what we would do as nurses in this situation.<\/p>\n

There are many ethical dilemmas we will come across as nurses and taking this course has<\/p>\n

helped me better prepared for when I come across an ethical dilemma.<\/p>\n

Essential IX: Baccalaureate Generalist Nursing Practice<\/strong><\/p>\n

Discusses the importance of providing opportunities for students to care for patients in<\/p>\n

complex situations in order to better develop a \u201cwhole-person\u201d approach to establishing care.<\/p>\n

Developing a plan of care is one of the fundamental aspects of nursing. Students develop this<\/p>\n

skill by participating in a clinical setting and observing nurses. In a classroom setting, students<\/p>\n

are provided the opportunity to discuss with classmates and professors\u2019 different approaches.<\/p>\n

I have developed this skill set of developing plans of care by creating numerous care plans<\/p>\n

in my clinical courses. Creating these care plans allow for me to see the patient as a whole. This<\/p>\n

better allows me to see the \u201cbig picture\u201d and to make nursing diagnoses. Once I have made<\/p>\n

nursing diagnoses I am able to create better care plans for the patient.<\/p>\n
