Hybrid learning environments are gradually infiltrating face-to-face teaching environments. Wolpert-Gowron states it plainly, “It is not a question of if; it is a question of how” (2011, para. 3). Blending online and face-to-face content can satisfy the need for flexibility and self-direction, yet also includes the facilitative relationship of the student and instructor (Bradshaw & Hultquist, 2017). The two modalities, if carefully structured, can complement each other.

            In the associate degree nursing skills laboratory environment, students show up for a six-hour block of didactic and hand-on learning. The students are often fatigued by the need to be active learners for that amount of time. Indeed, the design of the nursing laboratory is intended to emphasize the application of skills rather than acquiring new knowledge. This environment seems ideal for blended classroom methods. Bradshaw and Hultquist (2017) warn that adequate planning is essential for blended classrooms to be successful. In particular, there is a tendency to expect more work from the students compared with traditional face-to-face learning. In my view, blended environments demand that the instructor be well prepared and very clear with their expectations with the students.  The increased work needed by the instructor has been a barrier to implementing blended classroom methods in my institution.

            The nursing skills laboratory is where students accomplish psychomotor learning of their nursing skills. The way instructors teach in this environment is not guided by evidence because there is not much research on the topic. Staykova, Stewart, and Staykov (2017) compared traditional methods (PowerPoint lecture, hands-on practice with checklists, and quizzes) against innovative methods in the nursing skills laboratory environment.  The innovative strategies included the use of admission tickets (ATs) to class. ATs require home pre-learning to include online or textbook reading and a brief online assignment.  Staykova, Stewart, and Staykov (2017) found that active learning is achieved through a combination of traditional and innovative approaches.  The use of ATs is particularly intriguing to me in order to make sure all learners arrive with the same necessary information and to help create an engaged learning environment when they are present in class. I hope to use this blended teaching strategy in the future.

My initial post:

End of Life

The advancement of elderly case has been determined to encompass assistance that is able and informed on the diseases prone to such age groups. It is crucial to determine the challenges and expectations required to efficiently perform those duties. This can only be properly accomplished with the right set of information accompanying the act and practice itself. It creates the need for research to accurately as possible find out what proper care can be applied. 

This can be accomplished by integration of the evidence obtained throughout all the sectors and levels concerned with that healthcare plan. This will allow seamless treatment and end of life care as it has properly seen and enforced expected conditions. This will lead to the development of newer methods that may be deemed efficient to handle such circumstances. This will lead to the promotion of the best quality practices across the dimensions and will include the assessment of physical, psychological, spiritual and interpersonal practices. It will ensure the use of the best to provide care.

In regard to decision making, the use of evidence based ethical practices will be used to avoid mistreatment of certain elderly patients. As such research ought to indicate their best interests in ensuring which manner of care being used is deemed ethical or respectable to the senior citizens. Support decision making is also encouraged to ensure their participation in whatever decision that they may come across.

In light of ethics, a measure of best practices should be placed to show quality and effectiveness of the care being provided and whether family is involved in treatment and decision making. It should also indicate the satisfaction rate of the patients, their families in the use of healthcare amenities to provide proper end-of-line care. Such research should be given the maximum support by the various stakeholders and beneficiaries of such programs for proper utilization.

Week 2: Assignment 2.1: Problem and Solution Paragraphs

STEP 1: Choose a topic within your profession. Make sure the topic you choose targets a problem that you know how to solve (e.g., Poor patient care, long shifts, inadequate gear, outdated philosophy, underpaid employees, etc.) 

STEP 2: Divide your topic into 2 categories: problem and solution. 

STEP 3: Create a thesis statement and place it at the top of the essay. 

STEP 4: Write one problem and one solution paragraph beneath the thesis. (You do not need to write an introduction and conclusion for this essay. We are only thinking about the thesis statement and body paragraphs at this time.)

 

Create 1 page outlines of your response plan for three intervention scenarios.

Nurse leaders need to quickly identify a strategy for evaluating a nursing leadership problem and the dynamics related to the problem, in order to orchestrate intervention efforts and put together a plan of action that leads to stakeholder cooperation.

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:

• Competency 1: Integrate key nursing leadership, management, and communication concepts into collaborative practice situations.
  • Explain concepts of change theory and how it can be used as a tool to manage situations.
  • Describe an effective leadership style to address a problem.
• Competency 2: Explain the accountability of the nurse leader for decisions that affect health care delivery and patient outcomes.
  • Describe how outcomes or success of the style selected for each situation could be measured.
• Competency 4: Apply professional standards of moral, ethical, and legal conduct in professional practice.

Preparation

Use the Internet to research change theory, leadership, and communication strategies. Use the Suggested Resources to research leadership and communication concepts and change theory.

• The challenge in this assessment is to create a response plan for several intervention scenarios.
  • There are three deliverables required for this assessment.

Rationale for this assessment:

Nurse leaders solve problems or resolve conflict on a daily basis. Understanding how change theory can be applied to a situation and examining various types of interventions in advance can relieve pressure on the nurse leader and improve the workplace environment and outcomes. Rehearsing potential interventions provides a mental toolkit on which to rely during stressful times.

Your management training workshop continues:

The second day of HR’s Nursing Leadership Workshop is designed to help you identify and practice effective responses and interventions to common problems and situations. Participants are presented with three scenarios and must create a response plan for each scenario, in the form of a 1–2 page outline.

Deliverables: Submit three Response Plans to complete this assessment.

• Choose 3 of the 5 Intervention Scenarios linked in the Required Resources for this assessment.
• For each scenario you choose, develop a separate Response Plan in the form of a 1–2 page outline.
  • Label each outline using the example below:
    • Example: Response Plan for School Nurse.
