Discussion post 1: _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Identify three professional nursing organizations that interest you. Provide a brief summary of their purpose, requirements, and any differences in focus, population, scope, or intent. How do these organizations align to your goals and worldview? _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Here is my goals: to become a certified clinical nurse leader (CNL). Here is my worldview: Personal worldview acknowledges that individuals live in a self-justifying world. As such, personal worldview features a collection of beliefs held by an individual about one’s life and the world around. In this awareness, personal worldview captures a description of how an individual interprets a belief concerning the world. Additionally, it attempts to offer reasons for how facts of life link or tie together (McMillan, 2015). For my case, I should embrace and leverage my calling if I am to optimize my living by acknowledging that God has the sole capability to help me find purpose in life. Consequently, I believe that all along, he has had a purpose and plan for my life long before I was born. I derive the insight from Jeremiah 29:11, ‘For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’ The meaning of this verse is that regardless of what I do in life, everything will eventually end up being for the best as long as it is in accordance with God’s will. Personal worldview features a collection of beliefs and aspects that ensure consistent decision-making process founded upon right or wrong ideology alongside the authority to respect and follow. As such, I align my worldview to the pronouncement in Ephesians 2:10 stating that ‘For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.’ This verse indicates that God created me precisely the way I should be and that He has granted me sufficient skills and talents to accomplish what I am supposed to. A major cultural element that has an impact on my philosophy of practice is respect. In this case, I have been brought up in a society in which respect for other people is considered paramount. In practice, this value ensures that I respect my coworkers as well as patients. As a result, it becomes possible to prioritize defending the dignity of human life. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Discussion post 2: Research health care legislation that is being considered in your state. What impact might this legislation have on your future practice? What impact does it have on the collective practice of nurses in your state? How do you envision yourself potentially becoming involved in political advocacy for the profession in your future practice? Please remember that my future nursing role will be CNL (clinical nurse leader).
