Now that we are half-way through the course, share what you have learned about your communication skills.
One thing that I’ve learned with regards to my communication skills is that I have so much more to learn about the one thing that quite frankly expresses and creates realities among people. I also learned that there are many facets of communication to develop and being aware of this will give you a leg up in terms of receiving the outcomes you’re looking for.
In addition, since you are going to be working on revising your outlines to write your final proposals, what do you think about revision? The novelist, John Irving said, “Half my life is an act of revision.”
I think revision is a written version of what living feedback looks like. I have to get in the habit more of letting others whose judgment, expertise, and knowledge based I trust to help me revise any paper work or written communication. Revision is truly key in ensuring that the best possible outcome of that communication is ultimately realized.
How much revision do you use in your communication? Consider the “Ten Principles of Power Editing” found in Chapter 5.
I honestly don’t do too much revision of my communication which again is an area I need to develop more and work on. I used to when I was doing my undergrad work, but it has tapered off a bit.
Which ones do you use and why are they helpful to you? Why?
I use a lot of the “Give It Some Space” aspect of revision. I think with the way my brain works, I’m a huge processor. I have to take my time with certain level of information given to me or else I’ve completely disconnected. Likewise, when it comes to writing, sometimes the information that has just left my psyche needs a moment away from me so that I can come back to it after much reflection and contemplation.

/in /by adminPlease respond to these two people. Student 1 :Before taking this course, I did not know the importance that research has on nursing practice. Now, that I have studied the basics of nursing research I’m more educated on the importance how research improves the overall nursing care experience. Research is the foundation of evidence-based practice. It uses structure, relevance, and analytical methods of EBP to help nurses address complicated problems that arise in the field. EBP systematically help solve challenging questions so patients can remain safe and improve quality of life.Identify two concepts from research or EBP that you intend to apply to your nursing practice and why.The two concepts I plan on utilizing are from the research designs and settings. I was drawn to the experimental/ descriptive designs with a naturalistic setting. I would use these two concepts because I believe true evidence comes from how society functions normally without any manipulation to the study. Studying these concepts, enlighten me because this design had little to no bias, no manipulation and the researcher can insert themselves into the study. In my opinion, I believe a true prediction of evidence is to study society as natural as possible.Student 2: This course is relevant to nursing practice because it emphasizes how we can use research to improve patient care and to determine what the most effective practice is. It allows nurses to stay up to date with current information to better our practice and to keep our patients safe and as satisfied as possible. Additionally, nursing research helps us correct previous misunderstandings or shortcomings and implement new and improved treatment protocols.A concept I intend to apply to my nursing practice is keeping a consistent approach to evidence-based practice to provide the best quality care to my patients. One way to do this is to stay up to date on systematic reviews of the health topic I am interested in to understand the best research evidence available to answer my questions. Another concept I intend to apply to my nursing practice is addressing recurring clinical issues by forming a PICOT question. By using the skills learned in this class on how to construct a PICOT question, components of the clinical issue will be identified and should guide the search for evidence. As we know by now, a well-built PICOT question increases the likelihood of finding the best evidence quickly and efficiently, which will benefit our future nursing practice.

/in /by adminHelp me study for my Sales class. I’m stuck and don’t understand.
In this case, who should take responsibility for a salesperson who needs help to perform at a higher level? What do you think of Claire Boston’s advice to Bob? What would you have said?
Bob Sullivan works for Transcontinental Imaging Company (TIC) as a regional sales representative covering a five-county area. He has become disappointed with his position within the company because he feels he is not getting the help he needs to be successful. Specifically, he feels the sales training given by TIC is not targeting his needs. TIC is a large multinational company specializing in personal digital imaging software applications. Its customer base ranges from small individual retail store owners to large franchised photo finishing operations like Motophoto. TIC has over 1,500 commissioned sales representatives throughout the world. The average sales representative stays with TIC for four years. TIC uses multiple methods to deliver its training, including the Internet, lectures during regional sales meetings, and infrequent regional seminars put on by outside sales consultants. The training is broken down into the following areas: Professional Development Building sales skills • Work Group Training Understanding the business unit you work in TRAINING AND DEVELOPING THE SALES FORCE Systems and Software Training Understanding the tools to perform your job Compliance Training Focusing on ethics. As Bob sees it, TIC’s existing training program has not been focusing on individual strengths and weaknesses. Bob expressed a need for additional training during his annual performance review, but nothing has happened. He has had three different sales managers in the past year and feels neglected. Each sales manager handles 40 to 50 salespeople. Bob keeps posting average sales numbers based on his existing customer relationships (most of which were given to him when he took over his territory three years ago), but he has difficulty penetrating new accounts. His entire pay structure is based on a commission percentage of his sales, and no benefits are offered by the company. Bob called TIC’s corporate office and expressed his concerns to Claire Boston, the corporate sales training supervisor. Her advice for him was to read some books on salesmanship and to work with his direct supervisor on any specific training needs he may have. Fed up with the lack of attention and answers, Bob decided to resign and look for another job.

Nurse Practitioner: Roles and Responsibilities
The Nurse Practitioner (NP) role is an outstanding career because of the wide scope of practice accorded to it. The scope of practice of an NP is unique compared to other health professions. In practice, an NP plays an advanced role due to the acquired clinical competencies, skills in complex decision making, and expert knowledge base for expanded practice (Woo, Lee & San Tam, 2017). Besides, NPs only enter the employment arena after undertaking a postgraduate training program. Therefore, they are outstanding when compared to other health professionals since they are equipped with a wide body of knowledge, and are capable of providing an extended scope of care, ranging from primary to acute care.Â
The role of a family nurse practitioner (FNP) is to provide a wide scope of family-centered care to patients. An FNP provides an extended range of family-centered care services to individuals at all life stages, including the elderly, adults, adolescents, and infants (AANP, 2019). The practitioner acts as a link between patients and physicians, including documentation of patient data. The responsibilities of an FNP include diagnosis, evaluating medical history of patients, and chart their data. An FNP is also allowed to prescribe medication in some states without supervision by a physician.Â
The eligibility for certification of an FNP includes a registered nurse (RN) license and a doctoral, post-graduate, or master’s degree. The RN license should be current and active in a United States territory or is professionally and legally recognized in another nation. The family nurse practitioner program offering the doctoral, post-graduate, or master’s degree should be accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing or the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (ANCC, n.d.). The program should contain 500 clinical hours supervised by the faculty with distinct units in advanced health assessment, pharmacology and pathophysiology. The content of the graduate-level courses must be differential diagnosis and disease management, along with promotion and maintenance of health.   Â
