A master’s prepared nurse will gain insight into a world of nursing, possibly administration, and not often sough after. The master’s program of nursing gave M.D. the ability to advance his career, gain critical skill sets, and become an effective communicator. One of my hopes is to gain the same competencies that M.D., has through this program. This is the reason I have chosen GCU as my program of choice. Master of Science in Nursing With An Emphasis In Leadership In Heath Care, offers skills sets for finance, ethics, policy making, and leadership styles. As health care continues to change direction, so will the direction of nursing and in turn nurses will seek ways to become effective, diverse, and organized in their career…

The Independence Blue Cross Nurses for Tomorrow Scholarship will afford me to the opportunity to reach my professional goals while setting an example and creating a better future for other nurses of tomorrow. Professionally, I desire the doctorate of nursing practice degree to create change in how nurses are educated. I have large ideas that this degree is helping me refine and learn how to implement. One of these ideas is the creation of a better educational path for individuals that would have traditionally become associate degree nurses. This new path will have the potential to reduce the health disparities faced by these students while creating the bachelor’s prepared nursing workforce.…

The two colleges I am considering attending are West Virginia University (WVU) and Fairmont State University (FSU). These colleges are at the top of my list because members of my family have attended both these schools and I have family that lives in that area of West Virginia.

I am leaning to picking WVU because they have the special type of engineering I want to pursue and Fairmont State does not. The special type of engineering I am interested in pursuing is…

The completion of Nursing/MSN/Health Care Education at the University of Phoenix in 2011 after an intense twenty month period of being on campus, prepared her to function in higher leadership roles in both the educational and clinical setting. The curriculum was mainly based on critical thinking, evidence-based practice, and leadership development. The nursing courses were based on advanced nursing content and leadership skills. On the other hand, the health care education was focused on curriculum development, faculty role, instructional strategies, assessment and evaluation (Summary Report for: Nursing Instructors and Teachers, Postsecondary, 2013). In this regard, the degree qualifies her to different titles as assistant professor and professor, nursing director, and other posts such as assistant director of nursing and director of…
The basic roles of associate-degree level and baccalaureate-degree level nursing have many similarities in their structural foundation. Nurses learn to promote health and healing in a caring environment. To support the plan of care by preventing disease and assisting in early detection of deviations from the plan of care.
