NSB104: Leading and Learning
Task description:
This assessment requires you to apply leadership and learning skills, by reflecting on and thoughtfully responding to clinical scenarios. There are two parts, designed to allow feedback on your individual progress. What you need to do:
Part one requires you to read through the RN short stories in Gordon’s (2010) When chicken soup isn’t enough (available online as QUT library eBook), and identify a single scenario that you find significant and challenges your thinking as a beginning student nurse.
Write a short personal reflection (500 words maximum) that explores:
• Why you identify with that story as significant – personal values, assumptions and beliefs
• The issues raised for you and your professional development as a student nurse, and
• How your preferred leading and learning style might influence your response if faced with a similar situation in clinical practice
Part two builds on your short reflection (1500 words maximum):
Develop an action plan, supported with evidence-based literature, to address the issues raised for your personal development as a leader and learner.
Your essay should (with approximate word limits):
• Provide a brief introduction outlining the structure of the essay (50 words).
• Include a revised short personal reflection (from part one) based on your tutor’s feedback (500 words)
• Develop and discuss clear strategies for each of the leadership challenges identified, supported with evidence-based literature (800 words)
• Draw some key conclusions about what you have learned from the unit assessment (150 words)
Your assignment should be well-referenced. As a guide, you should have cited at least 10 journal articles for part two. Resources needed to complete task:
