In week 1, you introduced yourself to the class and shared your goal(goals) related to your plans in nursing administration. Reflect here on two or three concepts learned in this course that will help you achieve your goal. Review the ANCC Nurse Executive Certification Exam blueprint (Links to an external site.) [PDF]. Which of the concepts learned in this course align with the certification exam items? Which concepts lay a foundation for your further advancement toward acquiring this certification? Over the last seven weeks, we have studied several kinds of organizational structures and compared their respective strength and impact. The healthcare industry relies heavily on effective leadership and open lines of communication. It is the responsibility of the nursing executive to ensure that each patient receives care that is focused on their needs and is of high value. To improve nursing as a profession, it is essential to provide nurses the tools they need to make contributions that matter and help drive care that is based on evidence. A future executive leader should strive to promote high quality care and outstanding nursing practice. It is essential to improve nurses' professional practice to provide them the tools they need to make contributions that support evidence-based quality care. A supportive environment not only boosts the efficiency of the providers, but also improves the quality of care supplied, patient outcomes, and the overall effectiveness of health care. Nurse executives have a voice in tough organizational decisions. I want to utilize my newly knowledge and experience to identify and address healthcare quality issues. The position of a nursing executive plays a crucial part in any healthcare system. We have studied this position in detail and learned about the many elements that play a part in shaping it. Principles of relationship building and coaching/ mentoring are concepts covered in the certification exam that align with the course material. With better communication skills, I could network, allowing me to learn from and teach others. Leadership-wise, I gained knowledge on how to implement various leadership approaches and how to direct employees. This course's lessons emphasized the knowledge and abilities necessary for nurse leaders to formulate and implement policies and procedures for the nursing profession. The ability to make decisions, identify deficits, and put them into practice are all enhanced by this course. Health care is more successful when there is a positive environment for both the professionals and the patients. This program helped me develop abilities in team management, leadership, decision making, communication, and critical listening. I developed skills in leadership, decision-making, communication. abilities. This course taught how to construct rules and standards for nursing practice. Nursing executive abilities include establishing procedures, managing staff assignments, and following regulations. I learned how to use multiple leadership approaches and manage followers. Mission statements aid to outline organizational goals. These abilities will help me manage team-based initiatives and distribute duties for teambuilding. We explored how to create and deliver an executive summary to a healthcare system. The curriculum taught how to build a power base by leading teams through effective communication and motivation to improve patient outcomes. Dr. Turner and class, When this class started, I wasn’t really sure what I wanted to do with my career. I was in a very frustrating time in a new role and was questioning whether leadership was really a good fit for me. There is a big difference between being a manager and a leader. This class helped me realize that I was a leader long before I moved into my manager role. Now I just have the opportunity to develop my leadership skills and style further than ever before. The impact that I have had on my team in such a short a period of time shows in the way they support one another and even me. This class taught me about relationship building and how to best support the different personalities and needs on my team. I learned that a cookie cutter approach will never work with a diverse team and having a diverse team is important to developing a strong team. I also learned that it is important to understand their motivational needs in order to promote engagement, empowerment and job satisfaction. An engaged and empowered team performs better producing a positive work environment and better patient outcomes. This course helped to prepare me for the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) Nurse Executive Certification Exam through expanding my knowledge of workforce engagement, understanding leadership styles and developing communication strategies. While I had some base knowledge about these topics, I feel that I have significantly expanded my understanding of them and why they are important. By implementing them into my leadership practice now, I can further develop them over time and when the time comes to take my ANCC Nurse Executive Certification Exam, I will be better prepared. All of these concepts will build a foundation to support me in my future leadership roles and obtaining this certification. • Betsy ReplyReply to Commento Collapse SubdiscussionStacy PeeStacy PeeWednesdayOct 19 at 9:10am Manage Discussion EntryHi Betsy and Class, As a necessary first step in satisfying transformational leadership requirements, it is crucial to promote a constructive workplace that encourages content staff and consumers. Not only did I improve my leadership and management skills, but I also felt like I grew throughout this course. Any business that wants to succeed must have an effective leader, and I believe that completing this course has improved both our leadership capabilities and comprehension of effective leadership strategies. Given the unique characteristics each employee possesses, there is no one method that can be used effectively with all personnel, as you mentioned. When it comes to the routine operations of the organization, having a thorough understanding of one's leadership style paired with how one handles internal issues will have a significant impact. The weekly assignments provided a better perspective of what it is to be a successful leader. This class provided a solid foundation upon which to expand knowledge and skills in leadership. A competent leader is essential to providing quality care. The skills developed in this class will help students to become better, more effective nurse leaders. Many intricate challenges need to be overcome in the current state of healthcare. As a result of this learning experience, I have a better understanding of the administrative responsibilities of a nurse executive and how they contribute to the effective provision of healthcare in a facility. Best of luck to you all throughout the remainder of our studies! We're over halfway there! Thank you, Dr. Turner, for an insightful learning experience; thank you, fellow classmates, for your diverse prospectives on the course content!

In my organization, the manager handles more of the administrative role, we seldom go to her for issues within the department unless they are serious. I am a lead charge RN, we have five of these positions total. We are considered the leaders of the unit. We have standards and practices that we must obtain in order to be a lead. This position is considered progression towards higher leadership positions. This course has allowed me to increase my skills as a leader and start thinking about issues in higher positions. The way that communication is presented by leaders, decision making, rapport with different units, and building trust. Speaking from personal experience, effective leaders are critical for quality care and best patient outcomes. Viewing the ANCC preview helped me realize how much is actually included with leadership. Wonderful post, good luck moving forward!

I cannot believe that eight weeks have come and gone and that the course is complete! Like you, I too entered the beginning of this course in a new leadership role. I am so thankful that the timing worked out how it did because this class really showed me how to enhance my leadership skills and how to be the best leader for my team. I agree, there is a big difference in being a manager and in being a leader. By taking the things learned in this course, I feel that I am able to differentiate between the two and provide effective leadership towards staff members. It is imperative to have open and honest communication with staff members, show empathy towards them, and to have a good relationship with members of the interdisciplinary team. In doing so, patient care can excel, and a positive work environment can exist all of which is imperative for a successful organization.
