Week 2 | Part 2: Academic Resources and Strategies
I have identified the following academic resources and strategies that can i can apply to succeed
in the nursing practice in general or my specialty in particular.
Directions: In the space below Identify and describe at least three academic resources or
strategies that can be applied to the MSN program, and at least three professional resources
that can be applied to success in the nursing practice in general or your specialty in particular.
For each, explain how you intend to use these resources, and how they might benefit you
academically and professionally.
Accomplishing an MSN program requires a lot of effort, dedication and passion. However,
acquiring the right resources can make easier for one to tackle the exams, projects, assignments
and more. The following are some of the academic and professional resources and/or strategies
that I have identified that can lead to success.
ACADEMIC RESOURCE/STRATEGY 1
Use of Smartphone Applications – this comes handy during this technological era where a
smartphone is essential for every individual. Mobile applications have become a great resource
for students since there are many applications that aids in accessing information required and
also elaborating them. Therefore, applying this strategy will ensure that I have access to my
study materials anywhere and anytime I need to study. This is because a smartphone is portable
and is carried anywhere.
ACADEMIC RESOURCE/STRATEGY 2
Use of social medial – the use of social media platforms such as WhatsApp, Facebook, and
telegram continues to grow globally. It has reduced the world to a global village. Therefore,
through these platforms, I will get to interact easily with my classmates, tutors and even several
other nursing professionals. We get to share ideas and receive updates on new developments. No
one gets left out. Whenever I encounter any difficulty with my studies, I can also seek help
through this platform and quickly get sorted. Therefore, social media platforms not only help to
engage with the nursing community but also saves time and expenses that could have been
incurred searching for help.
