AACN BSN Essentials and Your Future Practice (2)

Hi Everyone,

ORDER A PLAGIARISM FREE PAPER NOW

An AACN BSN Essential that is important in my professional practice is Essential IV: Interprofessional Communication and Collaboration for Improving Patient Health Outcomes.

I selected this essential because communication with the interdisciplinary team plays an important role in my work on a daily basis. As a nurse one has to be constantly communicating with not only patients and their families, but with their health care team as well.

As a baccalaureate graduate I will be able to work in my unit with the appropriate knowledge and have gained the confidence needed for better interactions and communication skills with the interdisciplinary team (AACN, 2008, p.22). As stated by the AACN (2008), “teamwork among healthcare professionals is associated with a delivery of high quality and safe patient care” (p. 22). As one can see communication and collaboration are key in providing patient centered care, thus promoting quality care.

All AACN BSN Essentials technically impact our nursing practice/careers. However, the AACN BSN Essentialthat I feel would not impact my future nursing practice directly is Essential V: Healthcare Policy, Finance, and Regulatory Environments. The reason being is because in my workplace I do not directly deal with the finance, legal, and political aspect of patient care. In my practice setting, I am responsible for taking care of patients who are acutely ill and are recovering from a variety of medical diagnoses.

I wish everyone the best of luck in their education!
