NR 360 Week 5 Discussion From Data to Knowledge and Wisdom!
Data becomes knowledge when it is studied and remembered. It takes time for the data to
become knowledge because the individual must not only remember it but understand it as
well. To the point of being able to explain it back to others. Knowledge acquisition would be a
act of acquiring knowledge. Knowledge dissemination would be distribution and sharing
knowledge. Knowledge generation would be creating new knowledge by changing and evolving
knowledge based on your experience, education, and input from others. Knowledge processing
would be the activity or process of gathering or collecting, perceiving, analyzing, synthesizing,
saving or storing, manipulating, conveying, and transmitting knowledge. They all go together
like a puzzle, once you have acquired the knowledge, it is best shared which is knowledge
dissemination. When knowledge is shared, often new knowledge is created. Kinda of like lab
work or research which is passed on to trials, completed and then refined to re-work the process
and make a better product or outcome. According to Schairet & Pollock (2010) “Following
random assignment, students participated in laboratory-based simulated clinical experiences with
high-fidelity human patient simulators and traditional clinical experiences and completed
knowledge pretests and posttests” (p.3). So after students acquire knowledge from lab
experiences, they can process the knowledge and pass it on, which would be considered
dissemination of knowledge.
Some examples from my clinical experiences are learning to perform a head to toe assessment. I
acquired the knowledge through my instructor, disseminated the information with other students
and shared the knowledge. I don’t know enough yet for knowledge generation but the
processing of the knowledge and putting it together with other pieces, is what is needed and
expected of nurses. Another example would be when I practiced learning strips while at
clinical. I had to first study the basic concepts in the book and listen in lab. I then took my
knowledge and used it at clinical. The nurse and my instructor both help correlate my
knowledge so that it made sense. Finally, I was able to share the knowledge that I gained with
some of my other classmates
