✓ Rationale: The integration of informatics skills into nursing practice is fundamental for nurses at all
levels and specialty in the contemporary health care system. It is important for graduate nurses to be
a skilled, capable and ethical user of technology, in order to deliver safe and effective care.




College of Science, Health and Engineering School of Nursing and Midwifery NSG3EPN Engagement in Professional Nursing Assessment 2 Due: 13th September 2022 Tuesday 23:59 hours Percentage: 40% Word count: 2000 word (±10%) including in-text citations & excluding reference list. This assignment is divided into three parts: 1. Reflect on how organisational structure and culture can affect the safety of person-centred care delivery. (SILO 3) 2. Reflect on the skills related to health information systems. (SILO5) 3. Develop awareness of the transition from students to registered nurses through critical self- reflection. (SILO 6) You will be required to reflect upon your own clinical experience to date and to search for evidence from the literature to address questions regarding contemporary professional practice. This reflection follows the underlying principles of Gibbs’ reflective cycle (1988) on description, analysis and action. You do not need to explain or follow the specific questions of Gibb’s cycle in your work. As this is reflective writing, it is appropriate to use a first-person writing style. However, you should support your opinion and arguments with current (unless it is seminal work) and peer-reviewed evidence from the literature, especially in the analysis section. Please submit your completed assessments through the Turnitin portal in Word format. Instruction: No introduction or conclusion is needed for this report. SILO 3 Organizational structure and culture (650 words) ✓ Rationale: As a graduate nurse, you may not always feel comfortable speaking up when there is a safety concern. It is important to reflect on systemic and personal factors that promote safety culture. o Describe a time in your clinical placement as a student nurse where there was a safety concern. How was this dealt with? Were you or other nurses able to speak up for safety? [150 words] o Analyse what kind of organisational culture makes it possible for you to speak up? [200 words] Introduce any system exist in a workplace that makes it possible for you to speak up. [100 words] E.g. Melbourne Health’s Safety Culture Program, Mildura Based Hospital’s ‘Speaking up for safety’ (can be found in assessment resources folder). o What role you have as a graduate nurse in speaking up to promote a safety culture? (action) [200 words] SILO 5 Health Informatics (650 words) ✓ Rationale: The integration of informatics skills into nursing practice is fundamental for nurses at all levels and specialty in the contemporary health care system. It is important for graduate nurses to be a skilled, capable and ethical user of technology, in order to deliver safe and effective care. o Describe your experience of using or observing the use of health information system in your clinical placement (e.g. patient browser, patient flow system, Electronic Medical Record [EMR] or other clinical documentation or storage system). [100 words] o Analyse one enabler or barrier from your clinical experience that influences the effective use of health informatics systems in the nursing environment. Use literature to support your discussion. [350 words] o What role you have as a graduate nurse in the ethical use of health information systems? (action) [200 words] SILO 6 Transition to practice (700 words) ✓ Rationale: Working as a nurse comes with various challenges. Challenges can come from internal and external elements. While challenges are not necessarily negative, it is important for you to develop professional resilience to be able to have a sustainable and fulfilling nursing career. o Analyse one or two challenges reported in literature that graduate nurses face in their transition into the professional workplace. [300 words] o Identify two self-care strategies that you will employ to maintain your mental and physical well-being in your new role as a registered nurse. (action) [400 words] Assessment 2 2000-word Reflective essay rubric Criteria Excellent (80-100%) Very good (70-80%) Good (60-70%) Fair (50-60%) Poor (0-50%) Speaking up for safety 25% Describe – Clear, detailed and succinct discussion of the safety experience. The reader can easily create a mental picture of the situation being described. Analyse -The understanding of abstract concepts is accurate and in-depth, and all arguments are supported by a number of high-quality peer-reviewed sources. The critical analysis exceeds the expectation of the undergraduate level. Action - It is clear that the writer carefully considered their future practice. This section demonstrates a high level of self- awareness and insights into the graduate nurse’s role. Arguments are supported by a number of current and high-quality evidence. (20-25) Describe – Clear, detailed discussion of the safety experience. The reader can mostly create a mental picture of the situation being described. Analyse -The understanding of abstract concepts is accurate and demonstrates some depth in understanding using quality peer-reviewed sources. Action - It is clear that the writer considered their future practice and their role as a graduate nurse. Arguments were supported using literature. (17.5-20) Describe – Clear discussion of the safety experience. Explanation of concepts makes sense to an uninformed reader Analyse -There is some evidence in understanding of abstract concepts however the analysis demonstrates somewhat superficial insight. Action – The writer demonstrates some insights into their role as a graduate nurse. However, not all relevant arguments are supported by current and high-quality literature. (15-17.5) Describe – Student attempts to describe a relevant experience, but relevance is somewhat unclear to the reader. Analyse -The understanding of abstract concepts is sometimes inaccurate and demonstrates limited depth in understanding using quality peer-reviewed sources. Action - The reflection provides a simple description of the role. Arguments were rarely supported with current and high-quality literature. (12.5-15) Describe – The discussion of the safety experience was not clear or missing. The reader was unable to create a mental picture of some of the elements of the situation being described. Analyse - Concepts are either not discussed or are presented inaccurately. Understanding of abstract concepts is not demonstrated. There was no evidence to support the arguments. Action - Most of the reflection is irrelevant to the student and/or subject learning goals. There was no evidence to support the arguments.
