1. Assignment: Strategies for Addressing Questions
Assignment: Strategies for Addressing Questions ON Assignment: Strategies for
Addressing QuestionsThe Medical Director of the facility where I work is a Psychiatrist, I
have been to a few conferences where he was a speaker. He is a great resource; I have saved
the PowerPoints he presented. In the conferences, I able to collect resources and network
with professionals that I will be able to contact as I see the need. I remember thinking, what
great opportunity I will have going forward already hearing these professionals speak.
Psychiatric NP students have a great advantage when it comes to preceptorship, being there
are a lot of smaller agencies that are able to help. With the large medical organizations, it
can be more difficult to get approved to preceptor with their providers, due to so many
policies and administration being involved. Assignment: Strategies for Addressing
QuestionsWith networking in my area, I plan to note what I like about each agency and what
I dislike due to being able to think ahead on where I will want to work upon completing my
program. Preceptorship has many benefits, reality-based knowledge, skill acquisition,
confidence, and professional socialization but also preceptor-preceptee
relationship/friendship are formed which can lead to a starting position in your career for
this degree. (Exploring the Intrinsic Benefits of Nursing Preceptorship: a Personal
Perspective, 2018).I noticed on Facebook, some students are listing their academic advisor
as a resource. As for now, I do not understand this. In the past, my academic advisor for my
BSN was a great resource in the beginning stages of my classes starting the program.
Currently, I have not used my advisor, but after watching the video, it appears my academic
advisor can have a large impact on my success in this program and possibly my career going
forward (Module 2 (Weeks 2-3): Academic and Professional Strategies and Resources,
2018). I will be keeping this information in my toolbox. Assignment: Strategies for
Addressing QuestionsIn the student orientation, I learned that the grade book can be used
more than just learning what your grade is. If you go to grade, it will also tell you what is
due, when and you if you click on the assignment that is not submitted, it will bring you to
the assignment (Module: Your Master’s Experience at Walden University, n.d.). This is a
second way to find out what is coming up. The calendar is also another way to keep track of
what is due. The calendar is color-coded for each class, on the left side of the screen, you can
uncheck a class so what shows on the calendar is only for a specific
class.ReferencesExploring the intrinsic benefits of nursing preceptorship: A personal

6003N ,Transition to Graduate Study.2020RESPOND TO STUDENT # 2 BelowThe first week
of Walden University’s online program to obtain my MSN was a little challenging for me. I
was one of the students that at first drastically under estimated the work that I would have
to put in to complete an online program. The result was me withdrawling from one of my
two classes due to poor time manangement skills. I was overwhelmed.Once i got over the
first week and began to do assignments I felt a little rusty. Its ironic because I have only
been out of school for six years. I was finding it hard to save my work and submit it. I
actually had a learning curve with the word document on my laptop because i am so
accustomed to Microsoft Word. Being a millennial and having worked with computers since
I was seven I could not believe the difficultly I was having. As Kaufman (2015) had stated
online education offers convenience and flexibilty. I began to think this convenience would
be my down fall as I tend to procrastinate.As I continued with this week’s readings, I felt
much more confident. The article “10 traits of successful online learners” was the article I
found most encouraging because I felt that each of the tips were qualities I have within
myself. Since beginning this program my love for nursing education has sky-rocketed again.
Interest in learning and adaptability were noted in this article as traits a successful online
learner possess. Then the article state to remember why you are here and to keep that goal
close.I enrolled in the nurse practitioner program after going back and forth between Nurse
Practitioner and Nurse Informaticist. Truth is, I am a people person and I love being hands
on in the nursing field. I wanted to advance my degree however, I didn’t want to remove
myself from the patient too much.My Questions/ Concerns1) I had know idea there were
voices to APA. As if APA wasn’t challenging enough now I’ve learned of active vs passive
voice. Emphasis has been placed on active voice as it makes writing clear. ( Walden Writing
Center, 2018)2) I feel like I used study groups a lot to complete my undergraduate degree.
10 Tips for Being a Successful Online Learner suggest that we be open-minded and
adaptable. Would anyone be willing to study via zoom meetings as we advance further in to
the program? I’m going into this program alone and studying became a concern for me.3) I
didn’t realize landing a preceptor could be a challenge. I will work on finding one now.
Thanks for the heads up colleagues.4) I did not realize the importance of staying in touch
with my academic advisor until I watched the Walden video. I will be sure to reach out to
him.5) Lastly, I am concerned about graduating and cost. Both of which i try not to think too
much about. I am going to give this program my all and I am confident that I will complete
the program. Persistence will get us all through!ReferencesWalden University Writing

Addressing QuestionsIn Module 1, you began building a foundation for your success by
considering a network-individuals and teams who can help you to clarify and execute on the
vision. A network is most helpful when you are comfortable asking questions. Chances are
other members of your network have experienced similar questions and may have helped
guide others toward resolutions that can now be helpful.In this Discussion, focus on the
questions you are ready to ask as your journey begins. Keep in mind that sharing questions
is often a great way to help others who have similar questions even if they do not realize
it!To prepare:Reflect on questions or concerns you might have as you begin the MSN
program.Consider the individuals, teams, and departments you previously considered in
Module 1 as well as how they may provide with addressing these questions and
concerns.BY DAY 3 OF WEEK 2Post any questions or concerns that you are willing to share
with the group. The Discussion board represents an opportunity to network with your
course colleagues, and others may have the same questions or concerns.BY DAY 6 OF WEEK
2Respond to at least two of your colleagues’ posts by offering a possible resolution to their
questions/concerns with ing documentation, if possible, or expanding on their thinking
