Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. 1 Peter 4:10(new tab) (New International Version Bible, 1973/2001 1 Peter 4:10)
Sometimes it takes a different perspective to see our gifts. For years I was bothered that I could not multitask like some of those I worked with. I wondered why I had to be so meticulous with things or hyper-focused on the task at hand. I was always the last one to get my charting done when I was a pediatric nurse. I ran behind as a Nurse Practitioner and had charting left at the end of each day. I marveled at how my coworkers could see patients and finish their charts before walking out of the room. Multitasking was not my strength. I went to my medical director for guidance. He suggested I have the EHR specialist shadow me to see what shortcuts I could do to help me multitask. Sign me up!
After spending a day with me, watching me see patients, and then charting my notes, she looked at me and said, “I hate to break this to you, but there is nothing I can do to help.” As my heart sank, she continued. “The problem is not what you are charting or how fast you are charting, the “issue” is that you are deeply engaged with every patient, and you spend more time with your patients than most providers. You take that extra time to show them you care and to educate them on their health.” Such affirmation coming from the “expert” of charting. There was never a problem, I just had a different style and approach that was unique to my giftings.
Years later, I have been able to see my gifts through a different lens. I have been blessed with empathy and compassion and I am very passionate about patient education. I needed to find a place that was in more alignment with my gifts and allowed me to spend more time with patients and be meticulous in their healthcare. My gifts had always been there, I just needed a new perspective.

Develop a philosophy that supports advanced nursing practice reflecting the values, beliefs, and cultural competencies relative to nursing practice, science, and theory..
Develop a philosophy that supports advanced nursing practice reflecting the values, beliefs, and cultural competencies relative to nursing practice, science, and theory.
Develop a philosophy that supports advanced nursing practice reflecting the values, beliefs, and cultural competencies relative to nursing practice, science, and theory.
Now that you have spent the last 8 weeks discussing theory development and exploring models and philosophies that guide advance practice nursing, it is time for you to put it all together. In this Assignment, you will create a presentation using any form of presentation software (e.g., PowerPoint®, Prezi™, Movenote™, Powtoons™, Slidedog™, and so on). Your presentation should bring together the theory that best fits your concept of advance practice nursing, the model that you will use to translate this into practice, and your final philosophy of advance practice nursing related to your role after graduation.
Please remember that your presentation should contain slides that have bullet points. The bullets should number no more than four to six per slide. The bullet point is not written as a complete sentence. It contains key words. You, as the presenter will explain in depth what each bullet point means in the audio portion of the presentation. Slides may contain graphics, but should be uncluttered. Background and font colors should be of sufficient contrast to make reading them easy on the eyes. Attention to colors should be paid so that a person who is colorblind can easily read the presentation.
Assignment Details The presentation should consist of a series of slides that include:
Title Slide: A title slide that identifies the title of the presentation and name of the student. Introduction Slide: An introduction slide that includes brief information about you and your program track. The slide should also explain to the audience the purpose of the presentation. Model Slides: The third and fourth slides will address your chosen model. The bullet points should consist of the specific characteristics of the model. You will need at least one citation that identifies where the model came from. Your audio will expound upon the model and what the characteristics mean. The fourth slide should include why you chose the model and how you will apply it in practice. Theory Slides: The next three slides will focus on your chosen theory. The first slide should present your theory and why you chose it. The next slide would present the key concepts of the theory and how it has been used to date in past research no older than 5 years ago. The third slide will discuss how you will use this theory in practice as an advance practice nurse upon graduation. Philosophy Slide: The next area will consist of one slide that presents your philosophy of advance practice nursing in the post-graduate role you will assume. The philosophy statement will consist of one to three sentences that distill the essence of what you believe advance practice nursing is and your conception of nursing as a profession. It is written in the first person and present tense. It is a personal statement of your beliefs about the profession of nursing. This should present guiding statements for your future practice in the advanced practice role. An example of a philosophy statement might read this way: Advanced practice nursing takes the art and science of nursing to a level of other” and self” interacting together to reach a state of optimal wellness guided with compassion and love for the culture of the other.” Graphical Slide: The next-to-last slide will be a graphical representation of how the model, theory, and your philosophy fit together. Conclusion Slide: The last slide will be a conclusion that brings together everything you have presented. It is not a summary that just reiterates what you presented. It is a judgment about what you presented and bring the audience home, ending the presentation on a positive note about the future. You will need supporting citations for your theory and model slides, and possibly for your philosophy, as appropriate. You will include the citations where appropriate and your very last slide will be a reference slide.
