As I progress throughout this course and program, I expect my competencies to evolve even more compared to my experiences prior to enrollment in this program with the goal of acquiring more knowledge and developing a better understanding of nursing informatics. As a Registered Nurse (RN), I am presented with the opportunity to learn something new each shift, while simultaneously having the opportunity to further improve in my nursing skills, familiarize myself with modern technology and more. Nursing informatics is essential for clinicians like nurse practitioners because modern technology influences nursing practices, and similar to the nursing profession, technology is also continuously evolving. The use of modern technology provides nurse practitioners with unlimited scholarly resources with current evidence-based practices that are utilized to provide patients with the highest quality of care and improve current practices.

Title: NR 599 Week 2: Midweek Comprehension Questions

Hello Dr. Clemons & classmates,

Our nursing profession is constant change or evolving. Therefore, learning should never end; it is a lifelong process. Competency is the heart of the nursing profession. Therefore, competency assessment is an ongoing process for each nurse. This process is vital for patient safety, satisfaction, and clinical outcomes in the healthcare system. As I progress in this course, I have a basic understanding of informatics & technology. With each week, continue to build on the learning process. So each week is imperative to understand the concepts.  Today, information technology is part of everyday care and requires nurses to have essential computer competencies and information literacy.  Due to the integration of health information technology in the nursing profession, self-assessment will help me determine my weaknesses and strengths.  For this reason, learning and working on my weakness will benefit the patients and me. 

As I progress through this course, I expect my competencies to evolve from general knowledge of nursing informatics to a more in depth understanding of the course curriculum and how it applies to advanced nursing practice. However, one of the barriers that may affect my competency process is the restricted time frame. In order to overcome the barrier caused by the restricted time frame of the course, I plan to allow for adequate time each day to complete assignments and review the curriculum to help solidify my understanding of the course work.

As I continue through the FNP course I expect my competencies to increase in the areas of advanced practice nursing knowledge, leadership, pharmaceuticals and a more critical problem solving approach to acute and long-term patient care outcomes. I do feel that I have some barriers and challenges with bedside care in hospital settings as my experience in more critical and acute settings is limited. I have mostly been in home healthcare, community based nursing and hospice home care which has a very different approach to health outcomes and comes with limitations of intensive treatments available for more intensive measures. As far as informatics I feel that I have again knowledge of main information systems and records on the epic system, however in home care setting and my current position electronic tracking is not present and everything is still on paper. I am able to appreciate good informatics systems that are in place and how it can improve a persons overall health/wellness outcomes and can assist with advocacy to improving systems that are not up to par.
