Deliverable: Develop a Professional Development Needs Assessment.

 

Scenario:

 

You have been promoted to Nurse Manager. As you transition into your new role, Human Resources (HR) requires you to participate in a leadership and management training workshop. The first day of the workshop involves a self-assessment of your leadership and communication style and an examination of key characteristics of an effective nursing leader, culminating in an assessment of your professional development needs. HR requires you to submit a Professional Development Needs Assessment so future training sessions are designed to meet those self-identified needs.

 

Use the following subheadings to organize your Professional Development Needs Assessment:

 

Leader and Manager: Differentiate between leadership and management.

What job tasks require a manager?

 

What situations require a leader?

 

Key Concepts: Explain key nursing leadership, management, and communication concepts that facilitate collaboration and support interprofessional teams.

 

Explain how key nursing leadership, management, and communication concepts facilitate collaboration with interprofessional teams.

 

Leadership Self-Assessment: Describe your personal leadership and communication style.

Explain the strengths of your style that make an effective leader.

 

Skill Development: Identify skills or areas for future professional development.

What training do you need to be a successful leader in your new position?

1. What would you advocate for?
2. Identify ethical issues that need to be addressed when working with these individuals
3. Provide information about the selected “at risk” group. How many individuals fall into this group and what are some issues they face. 

Evaluation in Programs

 

 As a leader in the field, it is essential to learn from the successes and challenges that others have encountered. Particularly with the design and evaluation of programs, many expensive and difficult lessons have already been discovered through previous endeavors.

For this Discussion, you review the literature and analyze a program’s evaluation plan. As you do this, consider what can be surmised from this example and the others shared by your colleagues to guide the development of your program’s evaluation plan.
