Topic: Role of Research and Research Process for Advanced Registered Nurses

DQ1

Nursing leadership and management DQ 1

/in /by

The following post is another student post to wish i have to reply. Please Make sure to add other information related to what the student posted. APA style 2 references and less than 20 % similarity

 

Question One

From leadership classes, the primary distinction between leaders and followers is that leaders lead by example, while a follower depends on others. Leaders can find a pathway to penetrate to new trails to reach their target objectives as a follower might remain idle waiting for directives. Besides, leaders depend on their courage and enthusiasm to get their jobs done and meet their goals while followers struggle to make decisions and rely on structured paths to reach goals.

Question Two

There is a significant necessity for developing practical fellowship since it can enhance upward influencing as followers can form a positive relationship with their leaders. In this regard, they can potentially affect a spectrum of situations as they perceive leaders as people that can make mistakes as well and offer the necessary support. Developing active followers also enhances leadership skills, as one can lead in future, as argued by Hargett (2017). Developing such skills requires critical observations of the strengths and weaknesses of a leader as well as through advice and support, along with development opportunities.

Question Three

In my healthcare organization, one worker was capable of demonstrating some leadership abilities when he organized a team of orthopedic doctors to work on some projects without seeking guidance from top management. The physician effectively managed to communicate all the objectives of the project, showing confidence that striking them was possible. In the end, the set targets were recognized, as through these skills, he was able to demonstrate the real characters of a leader in an entity.

Question Four

Trait theory of leadership appeals to me most and applicable to my future leadership development. I believe people can have leadership qualities and can excel in leadership roles based on intelligence, creativity, or even personal values. Khoshhal and Guraya (2016) find that all these are based on physical social and mental traits on an individual to lead. The most complicated model to apply in the future is the great man theory since I do not believe that all leaders are born. I think anyone can be a leader based on personality.

Question Five.

The identified goals for becoming an effective leader encompasses practice for proper communication that will enable one to articulate ideas well to others. Another goal involves keen listening to instructions as provided and following what they instruct to do. Finally, for one to become a good leader, they ought to set targets and achieve those objectives effectively on time and within the set budgets or schedules.

Question Six

Some of the goods qualities of an effective leader include self-managing, where one does not need directives to work. Besides, one needs to be an excellent communicator while talking to others in the firm. Effective leadership also requires one to be accountable and responsible for their actions while discharging their duties. They should further be able to set clear goals and objectives and strive to achieve them at the right time (Kumar and Khiljee, 2016). One also ought to have a vision and mission for their set goals along with the ability to manage complex situations, especially when subjected to challenging environments.

Question Seven

Developing a good leadership plan for a 1-2 year encompasses various elements that one ought to follow to achieve set goals. For instance, one needs to communicate the vision then set organizational goals to achieve those set objectives. Develop methods necessary to strike targets along with monitoring the progress to meet all goals effectively.

Question Eight

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, along with other global companies such as Space-X is one of my best choices for being a good leader. Elon demonstrates independence, creativity, and ability to solve issues within the organization. He has dominated the industry and typically viewed as the man for future technologies.

/in /by

The ongoing changes in the health-care landscape are influenced most by globalization, economic and technological factors, and the aging of the population. The complexity of the healthcare environment requires us to examine the leadership needs for the APN roles that are applicable for today and the future (Joel, 2018). In chapter 21 (Leadership for APNs: If Not Now, Then When?) the author outlines serval leadership theories or styles including:

Situational or Contingency Leadership;
Servant Leadership;
Transformational or Transactional Leardershp;
Rational Leadership;
Clinical Leadership and Congruent Leadership.
Select one of the above leadership theories or style.

Using your own words define the theory.
Considering the various APN roles (Clinician, Educator, Researcher, Administrator, Entrepreneur, Consultant, and Leader) describe how you might use the leadership theory in your future APN role.
From your experience as a professional nurse, give one example of the selected leadership theory or style as seen in action or provide an exemplary example.

Learning styles represent the different approaches to learning based   on preferences, weaknesses, and strengths. For learners to best   achieve the desired educational outcome, learning styles must be   considered when creating a plan. Complete “The VARK   Questionnaire,” located on the VARK website, and then complete   the following:

  1. Click “OK” to receive your questionnaire   scores.
  2. Once you have determined your preferred learning     style, review the corresponding link to view your learning   preference.
  3. Review the other learning styles: visual, aural,     read/write, kinesthetic, and multimodal (listed on the VARK     Questionnaire Results page).
  4. Compare your current preferred     learning strategies to the identified strategies for your preferred     learning style.
  5. Examine how awareness of learning styles     has influenced your perceptions of teaching and learning.

In a paper (750‐1,000 words), summarize your analysis of this   exercise and discuss the overall value of learning styles. Include the following:

  1. Provide a summary of your learning style according the VARK   questionnaire.
  2. Describe your preferred learning strategies.     Compare your current preferred learning strategies to the identified     strategies for your preferred learning style.
  3. Describe how     individual learning styles affect the degree to which a learner can     understand or perform educational activities. Discuss the importance     of an educator identifying individual learning styles and     preferences when working with learners.
  4. Discuss why     understanding the learning styles of individuals participating in     health promotion is important to achieving the desired outcome. How     do learning styles ultimately affect the possibility for a     behavioral change? How would different learning styles be     accommodated in health promotion?

Cite to at least three peer‐reviewed or scholarly sources to   complete this assignment. Sources should be published within the last   5 years and appropriate for the assignment criteria.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA   Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.
