Dr. Brown and Class,
First, I would like to thank you Dr. Brown for teaching this class and for all
your feedbacks. The last 3 weeks has been very difficult for me due to my mother’s
passing. I truly appreciate your understanding and support during those times. I also
want to thank my classmates for their postings and responses. You are all awesome.
Reflect back over the past eight weeks and describe how the achievement of the
course outcomes in this course have prepared you to meet the MSN program
outcome #, MSN Essential VIII, and Nurse Practitioner Core Competencies # 1
Scientific Foundation Competencies
Program Outcome #4: Evaluate the design, implementation, and outcomes of
strategies developed to meet healthcare needs
MSN Essentials III Quality and Safety
The case studies taught us how to isolate relevant information in order to gain
a more comprehensive diagnosis and differentials. Additionally, the requirements of
up to date scientific articles expanded our understanding. It was often a huge
challenge for me and sometimes takes me hours to find credible resources and up-todate articles but I also understand that advances in healthcare technology and research
are constantly evolving. I feel that the wealth of knowledge that we acquired during
this class taught me how to provide more effective, evidence-based diagnosis and
treatments.
MSN Essentials IV
This element of master prepared nursing ties in to the aforementioned
essential. Each differential diagnosis and treatments are based on the most recent
studies. Discussing the pathological process in the cellular level and sometimes in
molecular level has provided me a better understanding of the disease process. As
such, this serves to reinforce the core concept of this essential.
MSN Essentials VIII
Our future roles as Primary Care- FNP will focus on prevention and treating
illnesses. Conducting case studies and research allows one to examine details
thoroughly. This careful analysis leads to a comprehensive knowledge base, and thus
allows healthcare providers to educate patients. Each patient encounter serves as a
learning opportunity, and the experience of this class has prepared me such that I may
seize them and provide better care for my patients. Thank you.
.

RE: Reflection
Liberty,
I am so sorry to hear about your mother's passing. We have also had some very
difficulty times. Having the class and classmates has been very helpful for me, and I
hope it was for you, also.
It was nice to get to know someone also from Hawaii! I hope to see you in future
classes and if you come to Oahu, maybe we can see one of Aimee's shows together.
Aloha nui loa,
Ali

Deepest condolences. Your determination and grit to continue in the program
despite adversity demonstrates your strength and perseverance. Undoubtedly,
these qualities are the result of your mom's influence and you honor and carry her
legacy through your work and dedication to your family and patients. All the best
and my sympathies.

To be a nurse practitioner, it is important to be well rounded in knowledge of
the problems facing the sick population. The broad nature of science requires
dedicated effort and collaboration of knowledge from different interdisciplinary
teams. Over the course of 8 weeks in this class, I have done a lot of research, critical
thinking and using evidence based works to analyze and provide information to every
case study. I must admit that it has not been easy. I have learned from everyone’s
input on several case studies that were presented. In all of these case studies, new
ideas were being formed from what I thought it ought to be, to what possibilities it
could have been, and what it actually is. The idea of having one to three differentials
diagnosis help to add to existing knowledge and gaining some new information about
evidence based practice (EBP) in solving numerous case studies. Understanding
pathophysiology is a very valuable knowledge that helps in understanding the basis of
the scientific evidence foundation of theoretical models and the knowledge of
evidence-based interventions within the problem area, followed by the ability to make
an informed choice of the best intervention plan. Meeting the MSN essential eight
through proper education and developing that education into evidence based study
helps provide the patient with better safe care. Chan (2013) stated that education
preparation is an important strategy to overcome knowledge barriers. It was added that
to maximize the contributions of EBP and promote safety and quality of care,
continuing efforts are required to integrate EBP in everyday nursing practice. The
complex work of integrating evidence in practice is now more feasible with the
advancement of information technology, such as automation of data collection and
analysis, and online or real-time sharing. Every student in this class has used their
scientific knowledge throughout these eight weeks to perform extensive research,
have studied their content and used the best evidence available to integrate and
collaborate to disseminate the information gathered.

RE: Reflection
The achievement of this course will allow me to put my knowledge
into practice of helping people who are in great need. This course has helped
me to understand the foundation of each disease process, and by so doing, I
have been able to understand how different diseases affect different
populations and cultures. With this in mind, this course will go a long way in
helping design sound scientific care to each patient I care for in the future. The
scientific background of this course is very important in making critical
decisions and diagnosis concerning patient health. With the knowledge in this
course, I can map out the populations that have heath disparities using
scientific data and can uses critical analyses to find vulnerable populations in
my area of practice. The knowledge in this course will also enable me to
provide needed education to the patients I see in the future. The patients
deserve to know the truth about their health. Understanding this course has
given me abundant material to explain information to my patients in more
meaningful ways so that correct decisions can be made between the patient
and their families.
