Reflection

            I learned numerous lessons in week three. First, the week assisted me in appreciating the importance of education in advancing nursing practice. An RN nurse can serve the patients effectively at their level. However, through advanced learning, RN nurses gain effective knowledge that assists them in serving the nursing fraternity in higher positions such as leadership (Hughes et al., 2020). In doing so, nurses with advanced nursing skills can develop important policies that not only aid in solving the healthcare system’s problems but also increase their significance in managing healthcare quality.

            Among the lesson learned this week, the ability to provide person-centered care was among the key important points learned. The entire process of restructuring the quality of the healthcare system starts with the ability of the nurses to offer holistic and patient-centered care (Smith & Foronda, 2021). This type of service allows nurses to value the patients’ health and work hard to meet the patient outcome. I feel that if all nurses can gain the skills to offer holistic care, the healthcare quality could be high within the healthcare system. Therefore, there is a need for nurses in leadership positions to develop programs for junior nurses that allow them to understand the concept of person-centered care.

            In my future role as an NP, I would practice the concept of cultural competence in nursing. This process would involve offering culturally competent care to patients to meet the desired patient outcome (Smith & Foronda, 2021). This measure would also help me anticipate the concept of cultural humility that will aid in heightening the quality of healthcare services. This concept would also play an important role in designing my future path in nursing, especially in becoming one of the unique nurses that aid in bringing change within the healthcare system.
