1. Discussion - Week 2 Sample
Discussion - Week 2 SampleBeginning a new journey causes many different feelings, I am
almost certain that my colleagues have felt some angst. As I have embarked on my journey
thus far, I have found myself posing several questions. 1. How will I prioritize my
work/school life in order to yield the best outcome? 2. Will I even master ApA format
completely with no screw ups? 3. What grades will I receive and am I in over my head? 4.
Discussion - Week 2 Sample Can I really be a Family Nurse Practitioner? Many of them I do
not have the answers to, many answers will come in time. The biggest question I have asked
myself is, Will I be prepared for the journey that lies ahead of me after the completion of the
program? Many of my anxieties have been put to rest through conversations with my
colleagues, and help from instructor emails. I have also received a great deal of support and
aid from my enrollment specialist. Everyone has been so helpful that it is unreal. The
biggest thing that I have utilized is, contacting someone when I need help (Laureate
Education Inc, 2018a). According to Kauffman, (2015) Students treat or see online courses
different than classes done on campus or in a classroom setting. This was something that I
have been guilty of doing.ORDER A PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPER HEREI have found that it is
best for me personally to set up a space in my home as if it is a classroom. Every morning I
have been getting of work and telling everyone I am going to class and setting aside 2 hours
to focus on strictly coursework. I have been turning off my phone as if there is an instructor
present, and taking a 15 min to 30 min break in between. This has aided me in being a
better student overall. Networking is something that I have always been uneasy about. I
have dealt with a lot of things in the past that shape my views on this. I will not go into deep
discussion on those issues, but I will say that the world has not always been so friendly.
When I got out of nursing school all I ever heard was “Nurses eat their young” this was
something that I carried with me. After being in the field for a while I learned that
sometimes that can be true. So, I made it my mission to make all of the new nurses that I ran
across feel comfortable with seeking guidance that I could provide, as I became more
approachable I learned that others could be just as approachable. I have learned that the
positivity and or negativity that you receive from others begin with you. Lastly a question
that has been burning my mind is will the utilization of preceptor sites be really beneficial?
How will I succeed if there is no educator present? There is importance in clinical site
evaluation and communication as far as preceptors go, studies have proven that this is
greatly beneficial to the student (Johnson, O’Brien, et. Al, 2016). I also found it comforting
that the outline of the way our classes are presented falls in line with some studies

2. suggested plans to implement online learning for greatest success, like having the resources
with links available for the student (Pethtel, 2005) Discussion - Week 2 SampleResponse to
Brittany Thrower: Discussion Week 2It suffices to say that the way you find yourself posing
so many questions to yourself is the same way I also find myself. It will not be far from the
truth to say that we are sailing in the same boat in this journey of discovery that we have
embarked on. We will of course have to prioritize our work schedules if we are to have any
chance of success in this course. On mastering APA, I would say that if others before us have
managed to do it then we can also do it. We only need to commit ourselves to the cause and
the course will be wonderful, with each of us earning the grades that we deserve depending
on our level of commitment. Indeed, choosing a suitable advanced practice registered nurse
(APRN) role is not an easy thing for us at this moment. This is what I have also personally
also discovered. What’s more, deciding on the best population focus that will suit one is a
choice that throws in even more confusion. Everything seems to be so confusing at the start!
That said, I believe you can of course become a family nurse practitioner (FNP) if that is
your passion.As you so eloquently put it, being prepared for the professional journey ahead
after graduation is the biggest unknown. However, I am of the opinion that this is just a
passing phase that each and every new MSN student has to pass through. Before long,
everything will crystallize into place and we will have a better view of the future. We will
also know what contribution we would like to make in the nursing profession as APRNs. But
in order to cope right now; conversations with colleagues, instructor advice, and support
from the enrolment specialist are all welcome assistance. Let us make the best out of them.
Discussion - Week 2 SampleOnline learning is not easy, especially due to the fact that you
have to regulate yourself without any authority figure to push you around as in a physical
classroom setting. Setting for yourself a routine is therefore wonderful. Avoid distractions
at all costs (Minnesota State, n.d.). Succeeding with no educator present is all about
discipline. Lastly, I think preceptor programs are a blessing. And as a nurse, I believe that
other nurses will reflect back to you what you radiate to them! (Lippincott Solutions, 2017;
