Requirements:

Reflection: write 1-2 paragraphs reflecting on your learning for the week. Guiding questions are provided or you may write about what you felt was most significant to you for the week.

You will need to post your reflection here before you are able to see other students’ posts.

  • Nearly every student in the course was able to think of a time when they had personally been impacted by or had observed incivility in the workplace. In what ways does this impact your view of the nursing profession? If those outside of healthcare were aware, how might it impact their view?
  • As you move towards your role as an NP, what will you do to support healthful work environments for yourself and your colleagues?
  • Think about your personal use of social media. Are there changes you would like to make in how you use social media?
  • What self-care practices do you engage in to promote personal holistic health?

Topic Area Work-Life‐School Balance

 

Focused Objective: To find a balance between internal (intrinsic) and external (extrinsic) goal motivations in order to be more successful in achieving life goals.

 

What is Work-Life-School Balance?

Beginning your master’s education to become a nurse practitioner (NP) is a big step! Ahead of you in your program are courses that will require a good deal of time, focus, and commitment, especially courses with required practicum hours. Coming into the program, you already have other responsibilities such as family, work, personal interests, and self-care. Adding school obligations can be a challenge. Many new students struggle to balance work, family, and school responsibilities.

 

Work-life-school balance involves finding a state of equilibrium between the competing roles and demands in our lives. When we have balance, satisfying the obligations of one role does not negatively impact our ability to fulfill our other roles. Balance looks different for each one of us. Balance between our roles may shift on a regular basis as our priorities change. While a sense of balance is ideal, unexpected events or busy times in our lives may disrupt our sense of balance. When that happens, it is helpful to have strategies that can assist us to restore balance.

 

Why is Balance Important?

Having a sense of balance can help us to focus and remain motivated. Balance can contribute to improved time management. Our responsibilities and attention are aligned, so we are able to be more productive. When you feel that you are able to successfully meet your obligations, you will have an improved sense of health, well-being, and engagement.

 

When we experience a sense of being overextended in one or more areas in our lives, there can be physiological and psychological consequences. Our relationships or performance may suffer. We may have increased stress, which can lead to a number of problems.

 

Negative Consequences of Stress

 

Weaker Immune System Headaches Fatigue
Sleep Problems Irritability Difficulty Concentrating
Cardiovascular Disease Sexual Dysfunction Binge Eating
Overconsumption Of Alcohol Burnout Loss Of Motivation
Depression Decreased productivity  

 

 

 

Some Tips for Promoting Balance

There are some steps you can take to help yourself achieve a healthy sense of balance:

· Set a schedule with manageable goals for each day. Set aside time for study, family, work, and self-care. You may need to experiment to see what type of schedule works best for you. Be sure to schedule time for breaks and activities that bring you joy. You will be less productive if you are physically or emotionally drained.

· Set priorities. Identify what’s most important in your life and draw firm boundaries to support time spent on priority activities. Focus on the activities you enjoy or value the most.

· Take time for self-care. Taking time to pursue personal interests will help you stay energized. Self-care may involve exercise, good nutrition, getting enough sleep, attending to emotional and spiritual needs, meditating, or spending time with family and friends. Read a non-academic book or watch a movie. Set aside time for things you enjoy.

· Let go of perfectionism. Practice self-compassion by giving yourself the same kindness and understanding you give others.

· Get support. Talk to your family and friends about your schedule and availability. Discuss your needs for support

· Reward yourself. Set goals and reward yourself when you achieve them. Take note of your accomplishments.

· Be where you are. Stay focused on the task at hand.

· Learn to say “no.”

SCORE A+ WITH HELP FROM OUR PROFESSIONAL WRITERS – 

We will process your orders through multiple stages and checks to ensure that what we are delivering to you, in the end, is something that is precise as you envisioned it. All of our essay writing service products are 100% original, ensuring that there is no plagiarism in them. The sources are well-researched and cited so it is interesting. Our goal is to help as many students as possible with their assignments, i.e. our prices are affordable and services premium.

  • Discussion Questions (DQ)

Initial responses to the DQ should address all components of the questions asked, including a minimum of one scholarly source, and be at least 250 words. Successful responses are substantive (i.e., add something new to the discussion, engage others in the discussion, well-developed idea) and include at least one scholarly source. One or two-sentence responses, simple statements of agreement or “good post,” and responses that are off-topic will not count as substantive. Substantive responses should be at least 150 words. I encourage you to incorporate the readings from the week (as applicable) into your responses.

  • Weekly Participation

Your initial responses to the mandatory DQ do not count toward participation and are graded separately. In addition to the DQ responses, you must post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate days, for a total of three replies. Participation posts do not require a scholarly source/citation (unless you cite someone else’s work). Part of your weekly participation includes viewing the weekly announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments. These announcements are made to ensure you understand everything that is due during the week.

  • APA Format and Writing Quality

Familiarize yourself with the APA format and practice using it correctly. It is used for most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in Loud-cloud for APA paper templates, citation examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or absence of APA format (if required). Cite all sources of information! When in doubt, cite the source. Paraphrasing also requires a citation. I highly recommend using the APA Publication Manual, 6th edition.

  • Use of Direct Quotes

I discourage over-utilization of direct quotes in DQs and assignments at the Master’s level and deduct points accordingly. As Masters’ level students, it is important that you be able to critically analyze and interpret information from journal articles and other resources. Simply restating someone else’s words does not demonstrate an understanding of the content or critical analysis of the content. It is best to paraphrase content and cite your source.

  • LopesWrite Policy

For assignments that need to be submitted to Lopes Write, please be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE you do a “final submit” to me. Once you have received your report, please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that can easily be fixed. Take the extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off for these mistakes. Review your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not paraphrase well enough? Is your paper made up of someone else’s thoughts more than your own? Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in Loud-cloud for tips on improving your paper and SI score.

  • Late Policy

The university’s policy on late assignments is a 10% penalty PER DAY LATE. This also applies to late DQ replies. Please communicate with me if you anticipate having to submit an assignment late. I am happy to be flexible, with advance notice. We may be able to work out an extension based on extenuating circumstances. If you do not communicate with me before submitting an assignment late, the GCU late policy will be in effect. I do not accept assignments that are two or more weeks late unless we have worked out an extension. As per policy, no assignments are accepted after the last day of class. Any assignment submitted after midnight on the last day of class will not be accepted for grading.

  • Communication

Communication is so very important. There are multiple ways to communicate with me: Questions to Instructor Forum: This is a great place to ask course content or assignment questions. If you have a question, there is a good chance one of your peers does as well. This is a public forum for the class. Individual Forum: This is a private forum to ask me questions or send me messages. This will be checked at least once every 24 hours.
