Intro: MSN/FNP Program – Narrative Analysis

The purpose of this narrative analysis is to demonstrate the achievement of outcomes outlined in the MSN-FNP program. Chamberlain University’s Master of Science in Nursing, Family Nurse Practitioner program. In order to prove how meticulously the program provided a guided and well-planned academic framework that achieved the goal of success and accomplishment that is required as an FNP. This analysis consists of an evaluation to demonstrate how the FNP program outcome correlates with the assignments selected for the eportfolio and how the courses also create a link to the chamberlain academic framework. The review will establish professional growth and development as a graduate student in the cognitive, psychomotor, and affective domains as it relates to this program. The duty of this analysis is also to connect personal advancements achieved through the program to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) MSN Essentials for Graduate Education and the National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties (NONPF) Competencies. Lastly, I will reflect on how my own cultural competencies have been transformed in the completion of the MSN/FNP program.

MSN-FNP Program Outcomes

There are five program outcomes in the Chamberlain College of Nursing Family Nurse Practitioner program and they include: “1. Provide high quality, safe patient centered care grounded in holistic health principles, 2. Create a caring environment for achieving quality health outcomes, 3. Engage in lifelong personal and professional growth through reflective practice and appreciation of cultural diversity, 4. Integrate professional values through scholarship and service in health care, and 5.Advocates for positive health outcomes through compassionate, evidence-based, collaborative advanced nursing practice” (Chamberlain University, 2022).

Evaluation of Professional Growth and Development as a Graduate Student

The three domains of learning are categorized as cognitive, psychomotor, and affective. These categories are the basic objectives to learning and involve recognizing and remembering facts, comprehending facts, and using them in application, analyzing the new knowledge while building a structure or pattern from diverse elements to form a whole, and evaluating oneself by making judgments about information in presenting defending opinions. In this program, I felt Like the education I had received was all being put together once I started clinicals. I was remembering facts and skills that I did not think had sunk in. the clinical setting and collaborating with patients. Once I started really working with each patient and learning about their needs and requests, the patient end-provider relationship formed, and I genuinely wanted the best for each patient. Bloom and his team did not add to the psychomotor domain however, other educators have created their own psychomotor taxonomies. In clinical, I am learning to produce differentials along with treatment plans and present them to my preceptor who guides me in the correct direction. .

AACNS MSN Essentials

The American Association of Colleges of Nursing developed nine Essentials of master’s Education as a guide for the graduate nurse to work in various health care settings (AACN, 2021). The nine essentials are; “1. background for practice from science and humanities, 2. organizational and systems leadership, 3. quality improvement and safety, 4. translating and integrating scholarship into practice, 5. informatics and healthcare technologies, 6. health policy and advocacy, 7. interprofessional collaboration for improving patient and population outcomes, 8. clinical prevention and population health for improving health, and 9. masters level nursing practice” (AACN, 2011).

NONPF Core Competencies

The National Organization for Nurse Practitioner Faculties (NONPF) developed core competencies that reflect the goals for each nurse practitioner program. The NONPF competencies include “1. Scientific Foundations, 2. Leadership, 3. Quality, 4. Practice inquiry, 5. Technology and information literacy, 6. Policy, 7. Health delivery system, 8. Ethics, 9. Independent practice” (Nurse Practitioner Core Competencies, 2017).

Summative Evaluation in Correlation to AACN Essentials and NONPF Competencies

Throughout this program, I have grown into a more confident nurse and patient care provider. I have been a nurse for about 10 years, but have never felt the level of confidence that I have now gained through completion of the MSN//FNP program. I feel I have mastered the AACN’s essentials. Through the utilization of EBP, critical thinking, and master-level analysis I have been able to make the best clinical decisions that correlated to safer and quality patient care. Through great organizational and systems leadership, staff satisfaction would be high all while caring for our patients in a more compassionate way. These competencies explain the steps involved to become confident and educated nurse practitioners. In my own growth and development, I began this career with a scientific foundation by attending graduate school, becoming a leader and charge nurse on a busy cardiac unit, giving ethical and quality care to each patient, and being a disseminator of patient education. Unplagiarize, add 5 more sentences and Include 1 citation. This paragraph shoukd like the following “The student provides summative evaluation of their own professional growth and development as a graduate student as it pertains to the National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties (NONPF) Competencies;and AACN’s MSN Essentials for Graduate”

Reflection of Cultural Competence Transformation

There are many factors outside the traditional healthcare setting when it comes to health. These social determinants often cause many of our patients to have negative health outcomes, often at no fault of their own. Over the last 9 months, I am happy to say the clinic I have done my clinical hours in have been eye-opening and have evolved my own cultural competence as well as my emotional intelligence. I was able to meet many Afghanistan refugees and their families as well as learn more about their culture and ways of thinking. It is extremely important nowadays to fully embrace each patient as a unique entity and care for them while considering their own cultural aspects, even if it is not our own way of thinking.
