BSN405 Reflective Practice, Issues, and Trends

Module 5 Discussion

DQ1 Nursing shortages contribute to overwork, fatigue, and errors. Discuss how the work environment may be better structured to support the health and well-being of nurses and support their professional rights. Contemplate your nursing career and draw upon your personal experiences; include appropriate examples in the discussion.

Include at least two citations from peer-reviewed professional nursing literature and/or required reading.

DQ2 Reflect on times when you encountered a difficult or “red flag” situation with respect to safe staffing.

What was your reaction and why? (feelings)? What did you do? (behavior)

What could you have done differently?

Would legislation (e.g., mandatory staffing ratios) have helped?

What steps were taken, if any to prevent the same scenario from reoccurring in the future?

Include at least two citations from peer-reviewed professional nursing literature and/or required reading.
