NSB104: Leading and Learning - Gordon’s Short Story - Responding to Leadership Challenges - Nursing Assessment Answer

NSB104: Nursing Assessment Answer

Task: This assessment requires you to apply leadership and learning skills and strategies, by reflecting on and thoughtfully responding to clinical scenarios. There are two parts to this assessment which are designed to allow feedback on your individual progress. PART ONE requires you to: Read through the RN short stories in Gordon’s (2010) When chicken soup isn’t enough (available online as QUT library eBook). Identify a single scenario that you find significant and challenges your thinking as a beginning student nurse. From this chosen scenario: Write a short personal reflection (500 words maximum) that explores: a) Why you identify with that story as significant – personal values, assumptions and beliefs. b) Identify the leadership challenges with that story for your professional development as a student nurse, and c) Identify your preferred leading and learning strategy (as referred to in NSB104 workshops). Discuss how it might influence your response as a student nurse if faced with a similar situation in clinical practice. PART TWO builds on your short reflection: Develop an action plan (1500 words maximum), supported with evidence-based literature, to address the issues raised for your personal development as a leader and learner. Your essay should: • Provide a brief introduction outlining the structure of the essay • Develop and discuss clear strategies for each of the leadership challenges identified, supported with evidence-based literature • Discuss some key insights about what you have learned from the unit assessment • Provide a concise conclusion outlining the findings of the essay
