Professional Development and Labor Market Research

MSN-prepared nurses must be prepared to market themselves to others so that the key characteristics and contributions of their expertise and the role are recognized and valued in the healthcare environment. However, prior to doing so, it’s important to understand the true labor market information and the employers that are of most interest to them. Furthermore, you need to be aware of all of the tools and resources available to you once you begin the job search, but more importantly, be knowledgeable of the strengths and barriers that may come into play as you prepare to advance their careers.

As you navigate through your program, it is never too early to begin researching what the job market looks like in your area, as well as what credentials and licenses you may need to advance within your chosen field in the future.

The purpose of this assignment is to help you feel more prepared as you begin to think about your future career and the path that you are hoping to take. First, develop a job search strategy for your chosen advanced nursing practice role. You will educate your audience on the value you bring to the healthcare team and the opportunities which exist in your chosen labor market and profession.

This assignment will be prepared as a 7-10 slide PowerPoint presentation meeting the following criteria.

 Directions:

1. Examine the advanced nursing practice role for which you are being prepared (NP, Executive Leader, or Nurse Educator) and briefly describe the role including the history of the role, education and certifications required or preferred by employers (i.e. DEA License), and major functions of this role.
2. For your selected advanced nursing practice role, please locate, research and include the following information in your PowerPoint as well:
   • Projected Job Growth in state
   • Average Salary Range
   • Similar Job Titles
   • 5 Employers who are hiring these roles in your area

Resources to utilize (not limited to):

• Assessment Walk-Through Video
• Purdue Global – Holland Code Assessment
• O*Net Online – Find Careers
• BLS Occupational Opportunity Handbook
• CareerNetwork
• Google Map Search
• CareerBuilder
• Indeed

1. Create a marketing plan to support your value to the healthcare team. You will need to look at the literature beyond nursing. Address each of the 4Ps to market your advanced nursing practice role.
2. Investigate at least two of the Central and Core Competencies (i.e., Direct Clinical Practice, Guidance and Coaching, Consultation, Evidence-based Practice, Leadership, Collaboration, Ethical Decision Making) described in Hamric’s Integrative Model of Advanced Practice Nursing and how these competencies can influence and advance healthcare.

Your presentation must be presented in a single PowerPoint presentation. The presentation must be between 7 and 10 slides in length, not including the title and reference list slides. The presentation must use proper APA formatting as directed in the APA Publication Manual, 7th edition formatting, including a title slide and reference list with properly formatted citations in the body of the presentation. You will record this as a voice-over PowerPoint. This must be at least 10 minutes in length.

Please view the Career Services Skill Market video to provide a better understanding of how to market yourself for your new career.

Describe one internal and one external method for the dissemination of your evidence-based change proposal. For example, an internal method may be the hospital board, and an external method may be a professional nursing organization. Discuss why it is important to report your change proposal to both of these groups. How will your communication strategies change for each group?

 Addictive disorders can be particularly challenging for clients. Not only do these disorders typically interfere with a client’s ability to function in daily life, but they also often manifest as negative and sometimes criminal behaviors. Sometime clients with addictive disorders also suffer from other mental health issues, creating even greater struggles for them to overcome. In your role, you have the opportunity to help clients address their addictions and improve outcomes for both the clients and their families. For this Assignment, as you examine the Levy Family video in this week’s Learning Resources, consider how you might assess and treat clients presenting with addiction. 

 

The Assignment

In a 2- to 3-page paper, address the following:

• After watching Episode 1, describe:
  • What is Mr. Levy’s perception of the problem?
  • What is Mrs. Levy’s perception of the problem?
  • What can be some of the implications of the problem on the family as a whole?
• After watching Episode 2, describe:
  • What did you think of Mr. Levy’s social worker’s ideas?
  • What were your thoughts of her supervisor’s questions about her suggested therapies and his advice to Mr. Levy’s supervisor?
• After watching Episode 3, discuss the following:
  • What were your thoughts about the way Mr. Levy’s therapist responded to what Mr. Levy had to say?
  • What were your impressions of how the therapist worked with Mr. Levy? What did you think about the therapy session as a whole?
  • Informed by your knowledge of pathophysiology, explain the physiology of deep breathing (a common technique that we use in helping clients to manage anxiety). Explain how changing breathing mechanics can alter blood chemistry.
  • Describe the therapeutic approach his therapist selected. Would you use exposure therapy with Mr. Levy? Why or why not? What evidence exists to support the use of exposure therapy (or the therapeutic approach you would consider if you disagree with exposure therapy)?
• In Episode 4, Mr. Levy tells a very difficult story about Kurt, his platoon officer.
  • Discuss how you would have responded to this revelation.
  • Describe how this information would inform your therapeutic approach. What would you say/do next?
• In Episode 5, Mr. Levy’s therapist is having issues with his story.
  • Imagine that you were providing supervision to this therapist, how would you respond to her concerns?
• Support your approach with evidence-based literature.

Comprehensive Physical Assessment

This Comprehensive Assessment activity provides the opportunity to plan and conduct a full health assessment on a patient in a single clinic visit. Students spend, on average, three hours on this activity.

Before entering the clinic room you will complete the Plan My Exam activity to organize the exam procedures you will use into a sequence that moves smoothly from head to toe by mapping them to the region of the body where you will perform them. After you have planned your exam, you will enter the clinic room and conduct a Comprehensive Assessment by interviewing and examining your Digital Standardized Patient.

These prompts help you think more deeply about your performance in the activity. Reflective writing develops your clinical reasoning skills as you grow and improve as a clinician and gives your instructor insight into your learning process. The more detail and depth you provide in your responses, the more you will benefit from this activity.
