Nurse education

According to the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (2017), the TIGER initiative began in 2005, due to a need for nurses to be involved in the advancement of healthcare information technology. Basically, to get the nursing field "up to speed" with the growing field of informatics. Since, nursing is one of the largest workforces in the United States, the need for a large scale and coordinated effort to integrate informatics into nursing education became necessary to prepare professionals for a career in healthcare (Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society, 2017). The TIGER initiative is very interesting to me, because it is a great example of nurses coming together to problem solve. Technology, in healthcare,…

As a future nurse educator I look forward to teaching college students. I picture myself teaching students the basics of nursing. I hope that I have a good mentor as I enter this field. I noticed this theme in my reading and feel that this would be a plus to my learning how to approach the students. I also feel that I am wise enough to realize that I am one who knows that she does not know it all, I am willing to help a student know where to find it. I feel that the students would need to know…

Nurse educators’ presence with students and showing they care with the right level of involvement…

trip and trace the beginnings of my nursing career. I have been a nurse for more than 20 years, with nursing as my third profession. I was a schoolteacher and a consultant in training and development in my past life. As can be seen, my passion for teaching and education had been rooted in me long before becoming a nurse. When I got my diploma in nursing from Holy Name Hospital School of Nursing in Teaneck, New Jersey, I gave myself five years to link the three “me’s” into one “me”. In my…

Professional Philosophy Nurses are very important to the healthcare profession and are likely the ones to make vital improvements and contributions. In my experience, nurses who lack higher education have very little impact to change and/or have the ability to make drastic changes in the culture of nursing. We should be focusing on creating leaders for tomorrow. This will require strong individuals who possess a multidisciplinary level of skill, education, and knowledge. Smalley (2005) states,…

America looking for religious freedom, new opportunities and a better life for their families. They were eager to assimilate into the American society. In present day, however, things are slightly different. While immigrants still come to the United States under the same premise, they are not as eager to assimilate or blend in. Today’s immigrants are holding onto their unique national characteristics and have transformed the United States into a multicultural society. Our multicultural…

field in which I was working, Early Childhood Education, was not what I felt passionate about, I decided to reevaluate my life goals. As soon as I chose to adventure on the path to becoming a Registered Nurse many doors opened. I finally felt like I had made the right decision that becoming an Registered Nurse and taking care of patients was my purpose in life. All of these “doors” made it feel like God was telling me “Yes this is for you.” With that I applied to Augusta Technical College taking…
