Final Course Reflection

The course has been helpful in the improvement of my ability to function as a patient advocate. It has instilled the value of patience that enables me to hear many concerns of patients and people who are stressed, worried and in pain from their medical conditions. The course has assisted me to acquire problem solving skills which help in tackling challenges and finding solutions for patients. Lastly, my organization skills have also improved which helps in staying on top of the details. The skills help avoid confusions and tackle issues within the right time frame.

The Bachelor of Science in Nursing equips individuals with high tech skills in nursing that enable them to tackle more complicated health problems. Personally, it has improved my general ability to identify health problems timely, offer a proper diagnosis and treatment process. The degree has also enhanced my managerial skills, essential for leading a nursing team towards the improvement of medical care.

BSN prepared nurse plays an essential role in public health service because of their skills in global health, nutrition, effective health assessment, community-based care and management. They are therefore in a better position to take charge of the public health provision because of their ability to create an understanding with the target community and give directions to the healthcare provision team.

The healthcare industry is undergoing a lot of modifications with the hopes of providing proper medical care at affordable costs.  From my healthcare organization, I intend to promote more investment in disease prevention measures instead of waiting to put resources on the treatment course. I also encourage the application of advanced information systems to improve communication and record keeping. It will help in reducing confusion and medical errors hence improvement in the patient outcome..
