    Nursing like many other professions utilizes policies and procedures. These are the
    standards in which we practice safe nursing. In order to obtain a Bachelor of Science in Nursing
    one must learn about the standards and practice them. The Essentials for Baccalaureate
    Education for Professional Nursing Practice is one of the ways a nursing student uses the
    guidelines. Each course that is taken teaches some portion on the guidelines to the student.
    Throughout the courses students learn about the guidelines and practice them in their
    coursework.
    Creative Implementation
    During this course we had the opportunity to explore how we could become better
    leaders. We learned the importance of networking by choosing a mentor and having weekly
    discussions with them. The discussion topics varied from week to week. They began with a
    simple introduction and ended with how they deal with disasters and retirement. I found the
    assignment to be quite rewarding. I was able to make a good contact that I can use in the
    future. My mentors leadership abilities inspired me to become a better leader. She constantly
    preaches the importance of seeking additional education. I always knew that I wanted to
    advance my career as a nurse, and her passion for showing others the importance of advancing
    your education has challenged me to do so. I want to make my dreams come true and show
    her that I can reach my full potential.
    Using what we learned from our mentors, we were then asked to create a project that
    reflected what we learned and how we are as leaders. This assignment could be presented in
    various forms. It allowed us to be creative and show our unique personalities and leadership

    styles. I chose to create a PowerPoint presentation. Since I am not in a leadership role at the
    hospital I work at, I created a fictitious facility. I thought about what I would like as an
    employee and used those ideas for employee retention. Throughout the assignment I thought
    about what my mentor said during our talks and the positive things that I took from the
    conversations. I thought about the leader that I am now and what I would like to do with my
    career. Throughout the presentation I blended my ideas as a leader with my dreams as a nurse.
    Reflection
    The course and its assignments met the standards created by the American Association
    of College of Nursing. According to the standard, leadership skills are needed that emphasized
    ethical and critical decision making, initiating and maintaining effective working relationships,
    using mutually respectful communication and collaboration within interprofessional teams
    (American Association of Colleges of Nursing, 2008, p. 13). This course definitely emphasized
    the importance of knowing ones leadership styles. As nurses we cant ensure patient safety if
    we dont know how to advocate and act as leaders. The standards want us to be able to
    identify ourselves as leaders and be able to promote safety and high quality care for patients.
    We need to have good communication and team skills to be a good leader (American
    Association of Colleges of Nursing, 2008, p. 14). Good leaders have the ability to work well with
    a team and communicate with others. The discussions with our mentors helped to illustrate
    how importance teamwork and good communication.
