Collaborative Leadership
As a registered nurse, one must be self-directed in which they are a mentor for not only their colleagues but also the health care consumer. As part of the Ferris State University’s Bachelor of Science Nursing Program, these standards are engraved into their collaborative leadership outcome. I believe that I have met this outcome by participating in my service learning project as well as my Senior Capstone Leadership Project.
My service learning project was designed to provide volunteer services for my community. My project focused on assisting my fellow parishioners with the assessment of their blood pressure once a week, before and after one mass. During my twenty hours of volunteer time, I was able to lead my blood pressure clinic in which I provided effective communication to my consumer on any abnormal findings. I was also able to provide recommendations for further follow up with their primary care physician on consistent abnormal readings.
Another way that I believe I have met the collaborative leadership outcome of Ferris State’s BSN program is by leading a project that provides essential education to my fellow caregivers at Aurora West Allis Medical Center’s Emergency Department. This educational piece provides all care givers in the Emergency Department with education on the new Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services guidelines for Acute Myocardial Infarctions. This project includes the use of an interdisciplinary team, in which meetings are held to coordinate care and collaborate on the project’s information. According to the American Nurses Association (2010), the registered nurse should mentor, “colleagues for the advancement of nursing practice, the profession, and quality health care” (pg. 55). This project not only meets the American Nurses Association guidelines but also FSU’s collaborative leadership outcome, thus fulfilling my requirement to the program.
