Seeking MSN

Specialties Educators

Published

Hello all,

I have an assignment due for my BSN completion program in which I need to "interview" a master's prepared RN. However, I do not know any personally and even at the SNF I work at, my DON just has her ADN (her emphasis not mine). I am going to post questions and I hope someone who has MSN can post answers. I thank you for any assistance you can provide. Thanks.


    [*=1]Do you feel your education and training has given you adequate knowledge in the use of quality processes and improvement science to evaluate care and ensure patient safety for individuals and communities? Can you give an example of a quality improvement process that you participated in or would like to implement to improve healthcare outcomes?
    [*=1]Have you ever been involved in writing policies in the workplace? Can you give an example of a time you advocated for a policy to improve the health of the public and/or the profession of nursing?
    [*=1]Have you completed any peer-reviews for EBP articles?
    [*=1]In your work-place, have you helped in making new policies?
    [*=1]What type of leadership creates the most effective working environment, vertical or horizontal? Which do you see most at your place of employment?
    [*=1]Where do you go from here (DNP, PhD)? Do you plan on furthering you education?
    [*=1]How did your Master's degree affect your decision making process delivering patient education on diagnosis, illness prevention and health promotion?
    [*=1]What are the top three practice habits that you changed at this point to support your deeper knowledge of evidence based theory?
    [*=1]With the advancement of technology taking into account the EMR, do you feel a "quality" of care has been removed from patient care?
    [*=1]Give an example of how a Master's degree has increased your competency in the nursing field.
    [*=1]How has your role of patient advocate changed, if at all, as a Master's prepared nurse compared to a BSN?

I think the whole point is to get out there and interview a MSN degreed nurse in person. If you don't know one, they're easy to find in schools, hospitals and public health departments.
