Reflecting On The Beginning Of My Journey With Liberty University Online
Reflecting on the beginning of my journey with Liberty University Online (LUO), I can see how I have grown professionally, spiritually and academically. I can take what I have learned through this process to grow as a Christian Nurse. The courses have allowed me to look at my current practice and see how I can continue to improve as I try to take it to the next level.
How I have grown personally, professionally, spiritually, and academically
After taking LUO courses, I have grown personally, professionally, spiritually, and academically by being more confident in my knowledge and experience and the relationships developed with fellow students. I have become more spiritually aware of the importance of trusting in the Lord. Romans 8:28 …show more content…
In NURS 440 the importance of community nursing was stressed and the impact of nursing on the population beyond the acute care setting. In this course, I learned what the role of the community health nurse is and how important it is in the community to build a relationship with the people within. It also showed me how to look at the community’s needs and how a nurse can develop a care model based on health disparities. “To shift between an individual patient focus and a comprehensive community focus challenges traditional ethical and moral concepts of beneficence, autonomy, advocacy, and social justice” (Pope, Hough, & Chase, 2016, p. …show more content…
Having evidence-based processes sets the foundation to improve patient care and delivery. Using research helps to evaluate ethical, cultural or legal issues that may arise in nursing care. This course allowed me to look further into my current practice of the operating room to review processes to be sure we are using evidence-based practice when developing policy and procedures.
NURS 489 has played a major influence in my current role as a nurse manager. This course focused on Benner and the novice to expert concept. This course helped me to look at my practice over the years and how to improve my skills as a leader. NURS 489 allowed me to explore ethical issues and the responsibility of nurses. “Practice experience matures nurses from the novice to expert stage, and also offers the opportunity for a deeper understanding and development of ethical principles” (Pope et al., 2016, p. 26). I am always open to learning.
The three courses selected for review all applied Christian principles in the delivery of care and how we interact with others. Most of the courses also allowed us to work on group projects, which allowed us to work as a team. There were different personalities and work ethics, but it all helped to support effective communication to complete a project on time.
