Dear students,
Please provide your discussion based on the scenario provided (minimum 50 words, minimum 2 entries per student). TQ.
Scenario
Sue graduated from a Associate’s Degree in Nursing programme (AND) and has been working as a night charge nurse on a medical-surgical unit. Her nurse manager recently hired a new nurse with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree. Sue thinks that perhaps she should go back to school and earn a BSN in order to feel secure about her current position. While speaking with a friend, Sue says, “I am a good nurse even though I don’t have a BSN. I don’t see how more education will make me more professional or improve my patient care, but I see where it may make my charge nurse position secure.”
Discussions:
1:
•Describe the resocialisation process that Sue might experience if she decides to return to school•How might she make the process easier?•What advice would you give to a student just beginning her nursing education to help him or her navigate the socialisation process?2:
Thinking back to Sue, what assumptions can you identify that she has made about the benefit of seeking a baccalaureate degree in nursing?
What personal transitions will be required of Sue to successfully work through resocialisation using returning-to-school syndrome?
Why are these transitions important?
