Practicum Class

NRNP week #1 Discussion
An advanced practice nurse collaborates and communicates with patients, families, doctors, nurses, and specialists to ensure patients receive the care they need. As they diagnose, treat, manage, and educate patients, they are responsible for ensuring patient safety and maintaining ethical behavior. Competencies have been developed to help the advanced practice nurse to understand the practice knowledge, skills, and attitudes they need to be successful.
For this Discussion, you will examine advanced nursing practice competencies and reflect on your strengths and challenges related to the competencies. In light of your reflection, you will consider how this course may help you attain your career goals or objectives.
This is my introductory practicum course. This will be my initial class for working with a preceptor and live patients.
Some of my concerns are: adapting to a new way of thinking from a nurse to a FNP.

Post a summary of your expectations of this course. Also, include a brief explanation of your strengths and challenges as they relate to nursing practice competencies when working with adults. Describe any career goals or objectives this course may help you accomplish in the Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) role and explain why. Use your research to support your explanations by providing credible and scholarly sources.
A strength of mine is over 20 years of experience in med field as Paramedic/ ER nurse- experiences to draw from.
