Sgt. Eddie Johns leaned back against the chair in the outpatient orthopedic clinic. His head was killing him! He wasn’t sure which was worse, the “morning after” headache or not being able to sleep at night. At least when he had a few beers under his belt so he could catch a few hours of sleep. It had been like this since he was air evacuated back stateside from Afghanistan after the roadside bomb went off. He was thankful that he had only broken his leg in a couple of places and gotten a bad bump on the head. They called that traumatic brain injury but he didn’t know what that was and really didn’t believe them anyway. He was still thinking just fine. His friend Joe wasn’t so lucky! How was Joe going to learn to walk on those artificial legs? He was still in the hospital in Washington, DC. That was pretty far from his home. Eddie wished he could visit Joe. They had been in the same platoon for 9 months. But, Eddie was glad that he had been able to come back to his own home town for outpatient treatment. It took an hour to get here but at least he could see his girl almost every day. Sure he had moved back in with his mom but it was easier to have someone to help him get around and cook for him. It was a bummer that he couldn’t work right now. He guessed it didn’t matter much since he really didn’t have a job to go back to. He had been replaced at the plant. They said they would find something for him to do once he could get around more easily. Eddie sure hoped the doc would take the pins out of his leg today and give him a clearance to work.

Discussion: Building a Health History

Every two weeks, you will submit a reflective journal to the discussion forum for review by course faculty and your classmates. All are expected to engage and support one another by sharing these experiences in a supportive, constructive, and professional environment. Journaling is an active learning technique that is meant to enhance reflective practice (Blake, 2005). Reflective practice involves looking back over what has happened in the practice setting in an effort to improve performance or to encourage professional growth (Ruth-Sahd, 2003).

Your Weekly Practicum Journal is:

• A personal, introspective subjective account of your practicum experience and how your practicum experience relates to Healthy People 2020 and course objectives. Include events that occurred in your practicum experience, and be sure to describe your thoughts and feelings about those events. How did your perceptions change? What did you learn that was unexpected? Describe your thinking about your thoughts and feelings regarding the new learning you experienced.
• Connected to South University’s College of Nursing Conceptual Framework Pillars (Caring, Communication, Critical Thinking, Professionalism, and Holism)
• Connected to prior coursework and experiences through reflective analysis.
• Written in a scholarly, academic style using APA style format. Two or three sentences are not sufficient nor are daily logs/reports of activities.

Citations should conform to APA guidelines. You may use this APA Citation Helper as a convenient reference for properly citing resources or connect to the APA Style website.

Vision

My future nursing vision is to have “an environment that fosters lifelong learning, nursing involvement in decision-making, optimal utilization of professional skills and knowledge, and health informatics to improve patient outcomes via the supportive legal and ethical framework.”

Vision’s fit with IOM Recommendations

            IOM made four critical recommendations regarding the future of nursing. The first recommendation is to allow nurses to operate at their optimal potential (Diaz, 2020). My vision statement emphasizes the need for a supportive legal and ethical framework to support optimal professional skills and knowledge utilization. It is essential to note that legal and ethical frameworks encourage accountability in nursing. However, the policies should not limit the scope of nursing. As policymakers enforce safety and quality measures, it is necessary to promote autonomy in nursing practice.

            Second, my vision emphasizes the need for lifelong learning. Nursing is a complex profession characterized by rapid changes. Lifelong learning encourages the development of problem-solving and critical-thinking skills essential in addressing emotional patient concerns. It allows nurses to be up-to-date with new procedures, techniques, and policies. IOM’s second recommendation is to support nurses to receive higher training and education for career development. The only way to achieve this goal is by supporting learning efforts among nurses. Therefore, my mission endorses this recommendation.

            Another way my vision supports IOM recommendation is by envisioning an environment that encourages nurses’ involvement in decision-making processes. Taking part in decision-making is part of ensuring nurses participate in leadership functions and overcome the health system’s inferiority notion. IOM emphasized the involvement of nurses in decision-making and assuming leadership (Diaz, 2020). However, achieving this goal requires developing a culture that fosters all health personnel’s inclusivity in providing expert opinions.

            Finally, the last component of my vision statement underscores the use of health informatics in nursing. According to Darvish et al. (2014), health informatics facilitates the coordination of nursing care. It increases the ability to track workflow, communication, and staffing to identify improvement areas. Nursing informatics relies on efficient data collection, analysis, and interpretation to empower informed decision-making and policy formulation. IOM recommends the need to improve data collection and information infrastructure.

Vision Promotion Plan

 A strategic vision’s success depends heavily on promotional activities to ensure everyone understands the expected long-term goals. One of the ways I can promote the above idea is through advocacy. Initiating a sustainable change in healthcare requires the involvement of all key stakeholders. However, people can only support what they understand. Therefore, through lobbying efforts, various stakeholders can gain insight into the recommendations and their role in attaining them. This way, people will be motivated to take part in transforming the sector. Besides, involving government officials is necessary because they allocate resources for various healthcare functions.

            Another way to promote the vision is by drafting precise and achievable goals to provide a clear guideline for accomplishing the strategic plan. Having a conversation with different contributors is the best way to transform a vision or idea into results. These goals should outline the responsibilities of various stakeholders. Given the universality of nursing practice, it is imperative to use multiple media platforms to communicate the vision’s critical message. The goal is to create a shared vision and gain public support by stressing the nursing profession’s importance in achieving health equity and justice.

Nursing is an ever-growing field that is evolving with the need for registered nurses expected to increase in the future. According to Joseph and Fowler (2016), the complex and changing environment needs to be met with a new and changed mindset among the nurse leaders. However, it is crucial that nurses be involved in the best clinical practice that ensures quality improvement in healthcare globally by raising their profile and status. The current changing needs mean that nurse leaders have a significant role to play in the future. The emergence of advanced technology and new innovative types of services indicates that nurses can play a leading role from community to home-based care, holistic and patient-centred care, with the increased focus on prevention and control and making better use of the advanced technology. Therefore, providing good quality and safe patient treatment by promoting nursing leadership should be at the fore-front of the nursing discipline.

The future of nursing explores how nurses’ leadership responsibilities, roles, training, and education should change and cope significantly with the increased demand for patient wellness (Institute of Medicine, 2015). This demand is created by healthcare reform to meet increasingly complex patient needs in the healthcare system. Its reform has made it in the United States accessible and affordable to everyone as seen by the increase in the number of patients in hospitals. However, with this growth in necessity, nursing is facing the challenge of delivering patient quality treatment. My vision is to quickly adapt to the new world of advanced technology in the nursing leadership that I can use to offer reliable and quality attention to the patients.

As a nurse, I am the primary care provider, and therefore, I have the vision and power to provide a consistently safe environment for the patients. Achieving this vision will require the establishment of evidence-based clinical practice which will enhance the reliability of nursing care. Moreover, fulfilling the vision of leadership for nurses will ensure that they will not feel undervalued in the hospital, which will then facilitate quality care being delivered to patients. According to Hart (2015), nurses often feel like their voices are not heard in the inter-professional team and that their complex roles in caring for patients are not appreciated. This means that nurses should have power in leadership which will act as an incentive when delivering quality healthcare.

The Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommended that nurses should have leadership roles in healthcare as per their recently released report. My vision for the future of nursing is for nurses to have power in leadership roles which will enable them to provide safe and quality patient-centred care. Thus, this vision fits with the recommendations in the IOM report, where nurses should have leadership roles in the healthcare sector. This report states that nurses should be supported in their leadership roles regardless of where they work so that they can be the true leaders that they are.

There are two action steps that I plan to take to promote this vision. The first step is to ensure nurses network with big players. This means that nurses will push to be in the higher leadership boards such as the public health and government boards, which will ensure that their voices and intricate work are recognized. The next step is to stand out nurse leaders in leading for change, seamless progression, and advancing health.
