Overview
This discussion is a follow up of your work in Shadow Health. This will give you a chance to reflect on how you performed. You will also be able to see your classmates’ reflections and deepen your learning by sharing and comparing insights.
Action Items
- After completing the Shadow Health assignment Conditions of the Cardiovascular System, post the following:
- Explicitly describe two tasks you undertook as an advanced practice nurse to complete this exam. How were they different than what you would normally do? In other words, how did your actions on those tasks distinguish them as being things that an advanced practice nurse would do?
- Explain the clinical reasoning behind your decisions for each of the two tasks.
- Identify how your performance could be improved and how you can apply “lessons learned” within the assignment to your professional nursing practice.
- Read your peers' posts. You may comment if you wish but no responses are required.
- Return to your original post and respond to it by explaining what you learned from your peers' work that you had not considered and/or that you find most useful for you as you prepare to become an advanced practice nurse.
