delivery of the pilot program. The final questionnaire will be a post-intervention survey of the efficiency of the project. Evidence-Based Intervention Evaluation of teaching practice and reflection, therefore, go hand in hand to help nurse educators develop their practice and become better educators (O’Malley and Fleming, 2012). However, to get the most out of evaluation, nurse educators must be; (1) understand common approaches used in education practice and (2) recognize the strengths and limitations that are connected to each learned approach. Nurse educators will be able to engage in self-evaluation (Hughes and Quinn, 2013). Davies (2015) explains the use of self-evaluation, suggesting it can be both formal and informal and does not …show more content…
Evaluation can take many forms and helps promote quality in education practice (Hughes and Quinn, 2013); it enables nurse educators to ascertain whether their teaching is having a positive impact on patients learning and how (if anything) the steps nurses need to do to improve their evidence-based practice teachings (Ramsden, 2003). As a result, monitoring and evaluating can provide information concerning; the need for modifying the programs, process of implementation and overall program outcomes. This can help support the relevance of the educational pilot program for; empowerment, responsibilities of a nurse educator, leadership, and future research. The consistent use of the assessment of core competencies and questionnaires in nursing education will facilitate the ability to compare nurse educator competencies and the performance of inmates with mental …show more content…
The issue of retention and safety is also a barrier correctional nurse face as well as a key concern for policymakers. Overall, retention of correctional nurses can be addressed by creating an environment with opportunities for prison nurses to identify their practice needs and meeting their learning needs appropriately. The primary goal of the Correctional Facility is custodial care. Barriers that arise include; high security, regulated, and a punitive environment all presents unique challenges for nursing education. Subsequently, correctional nurses are not always able to obtain training or ongoing evidence-based education that is required for a prison setting. Also, heavy workloads, lack of time and insufficient staffing have will lead to barriers. Implementation and sustainability could be affected if the nursing staff failed to facilitate the pilot program for
This paper will discuss the influence and function of the differentiated essential competencies (DECs) for graduates of Texas nursing programs. It will outline the competencies of each nursing educational level, mainly, the associate degree nursing (ADN) and the baccalaureate degree nursing (BDN) programs. These competencies were revised and approved by the Texas board of nursing (TX BON) to assure public safety. So, they are the foundation of the nursing education programs and serve as a guide for professional nurses to provide safe, competent, and patient-centered care. The DECs have twenty-five competencies grouped under four main nursing roles.
Nurse educations are current on evidence-based teaching, educations and research. Nurse educators are committed to education research, and evidence-based teachings. Again, although an indirect patient care role, nurse educators are responsible for ensuring for ensuring the implementation of best practiced (Gardner,
Educational Preparation: Associate vs Baccalaureate Nurses Laly C. Kurian Grand Canyon University: Assignment Week 2 September 12, 2015 Preface The scope of this paper is to discuss the difference in competencies based on the education preparation.

Research In the case of Jessica, Cognitive Based Therapy (CBT), an exploration of relationship and feelings based therapy with a focus on outcomes should be applied. “Cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBTs) have been shown to be efficacious for the treatment of anxiety disorders in children and adolescents” (www.childpsych.com). According to research to examine Cognitive Based Therapy for anxiety in young children, “studies provide the empirical support necessary to make CBT the only psychological treatment identified to date as an evidence-based treatment” (www.effectivechildtherapy.org). CBT as form of treatment is useful as it can be administered through different design formats and settings best meeting the individuals need.
The situation I found in the correctional setting was a nurse-centered model, where my colleagues perceived the client as a dangerous criminal who is a threat to the safety of the nurse, prior perceiving him as patient. However, my perception, as a care giver, is to foremost regard the client as a patient who deserves my empathy and care, without losing cognizant that he is a potential
A practice placement portfolio is a collection of work by an individual which is used as evidence to show achievements and other learning that has taken place to enhance their professional development (Hayes E. 2013). It has an important role in the educational development of nursing students as it is a tool which can evaluate the student’s learning during the undergraduate programme and can act as a link between theory and practice (Jones E. 2010). It enables them to demonstrate the knowledge and skills they have developed throughout their training, as it makes them engage fully with their experiences from clinical practice which are valuable sources of learning (Joyce P. 2005, Ryan M. 2011). In the professional development of a qualified

Throughout the history of correctional officers, they have play an essential role on the behavior of inmates. A Correctional officer job is “a person who is responsible for the supervision safety, and security of person’s in prison” (correctionalofficer.org). People should know that correctional officer are in danger when they are working in prisons because they are containing people who committed murders, robberies, or drug crimes. There has been studies that have examined correctional officer’s level of stress and attitudes towards inmates. (Sagepub).
Registered nurses are required to deliver wide-range nursing attention and treatment to all persons in a healthcare setup (American Nurses ' Association, 2000). Notably, they have to offer emergency care and guarantee the safe execution of treatment. It is mandatory for nurses to demonstrate a broad knowledge of the laws and regulations that are in line with their profession. Additionally,
The Process of Reflection The process of reflection is central to clinical supervision. Launer (2003) describes external and internal factors in supervision whereby clinical practice and sharing skills are external and reflection is an ‘internal conversation.’ Brunero & Stein-Parbury (2008) discussed the effects of clinical supervision in nursing staff and argued that self-reflection generates a sense of self-awareness and knowledge to the individual. Supervisees or students may be asked what happened during a clinical event, how they felt, the implications of their actions and what they would do differently if faced with the same situation.
According to Patricia Benner, one of the nursing theorists, the five-step nursing model determines excellence, and power in clinical nursing practice. Dr. Patricia initially introduced the concept that expert nurses develop intellectual skills and patients understanding through a sound and stable educational base in addition to work experience. The theory is one of the essential frameworks for assessing the crucial nurse needs at the various level of professional development (Bezuidenhouk, 1982). Most importantly the argument does not include an emphasis on how to be a nurse instead it emphasizes on how nurses acquire relevant knowledge through experience and hard work. As argued by Benner the best form of learning is through experience as well as situation bases.
What is reflection? Reflection is described as the process individuals use for self-development in their future career. The process of reflection has been used for many years in professional health fields such as midwifery and nursing (Lillyman. S & Merrix. P, 2012). Florence nightingale pioneered the practice known as reflection-on-practice, this is a tool that is needed in developing improvement and knowledge to enable an individual to grow in their nursing profession.
In early 1970s nursing started to move away from routines and rituals towards research-based practice (James and Clarke 1994). Reflection is a broad and complex process (Kenzi-Sampson 2005) therefore there is not a set single definition (Jarvis 1992). According to Reid (1993, p.305) reflection can be defined as a “process of reviewing an experience of practice to describe, analyze, evaluate and so inform learning about practice”. The question is why do we need reflective practice. This essay will try to
Nursing assessment has a significant role in providing effective, accurate and safe nursing care in clinical practice. Nursing assessment is the first stage of the Nursing Process. It is used to explore the physical, psychological, spiritual and social aspect of the patient’s life. It is therefore a holistic and systematic guide for nurses to obtain a greater understanding of their patient’s wants and needs. It is the underlying foundation of the process, on which other phases of the process are based upon (Foster & Hawkins, 2005).
