Starting the Application Process
Overview
As a new nurse, you must be prepared with a current resume (or curriculum vitae) and a cover letter specific to the position you are applying for. A well-written cover letter and resume will set you apart from other applicants and could result in an interview.
Instructions
For your initial post, use the discussion prompts as a guide for content and write 200–250 words and include a cover letter and resume for the position you describe. Then, provide constructive feedback to at least two of your peers’ posts regarding their cover letter and resume (or curriculum vitae).
Discussion PromptsDescribe a position you would like to apply for after graduation. This position could be a future dream job or one that you are in the process of applying for now.
Include a cover letter and your resume (or curriculum vitae) for the position you described.
Reality Shock and Nursing Education
Instructions
Reflect on your journey of becoming a nurse and the possibility of reality shock, which is the reaction you may experience as a new graduate when you discover the healthcare field may not always reflect what you learned in your nursing program. Consider the reality shock you have experienced as a nursing student. Think about how to continue your role as a lifelong learner to overcome future reality shock in the medical field.
Write 200–250 words using the discussion prompts to guide the content for your initial post. Then, reply to at least two of your peers’ posts.
Discussion PromptsIdentify three reality shocks that you have already experienced during your journey of becoming a nurse.
Provide 2–3 coping skills you have used as a nursing student to overcome reality shock.
Research different continuing education platforms for nurses and select one you are interested in taking within five years of entering the field. Explain how this platform will help to continue to advance your career as a nurse.

Required Resources: I will include some part of the reading so you can cite from that and also an outside scholarly source. 
Read/review the following resources for this activity:
Textbook: Chapter 9
Lesson 7 Reading
Minimum of 1 scholarly source AND one appropriate resource such as the textbook, math video and/or math website
In your reference for this assignment, be sure to include both your text/class materials AND your outside reading(s).
Initial Post Instructions: At the bottom of Chapter 9 is your reference. 
Describe a hypothesis test study that would help your work or conclusions in some way. Describe what variable would be tested and what would be your guess of the value of that variable. Then include how the result, if the null were rejected or not, might change your conclusions or actions in some way. Here is a class mates discussion. 
A hypothesis test study that I have seen develop and used a lot in my work in the (NICU) Neonatal Intensive Care Unit is the use of surfactant to help our population breathe easier and be better oxygenated. 
Before the 90s, there wasn’t a lot that we could do to help infants oxygenate effectively because of decreased surfactant in their lungs.Their alveoli would close down with exhalation and without the lubrication from the surfactant it was too much work for them to “pop” the back open so that exchange would take place. The first effect it was made from bovine lung tissue. With many, many studies, they now make it from Cow, pig, and artificial surfactants. This is made it possible for us help lubricate our infants alveoli so that when they exhale it collapses, it doesn’t stick but it lubricated and when they inhale is able to easily pop open, so gas exchange can take place. Without this many infants today would not be here or would have worse chronic lung conditions. So 95% of 865 survivors (Approx. 822) infants needed supplemental oxygen.(Marshall,D.D. et al,1999)Among 865 survivors to 36 weeks’ postmenstrual age, 224 (26%) had CLD. Nosocomial infection (OR: 2.0; 95% CI: 1.4–3.3), fluid intake on day 2 (OR: 1.06 per 10 mL increase; 95% CI: 1.01–1.11), and the need for ventilation at 48 hours of life (OR: 2.2; 95% CI: 1.3–3.7) were associated with an increased risk of CLD. Among infants ventilated at 48 hours, nosocomial infection (OR: 1.64; 95% CI: 1.02–2.62) and PDA (OR: 1.9; 95% CI: 1.2–3.1) were associated with an increased risk. 
there are many ongoing testing going on in my facility at present. We are doing blind studies on infants below 32 weeks or 2000 grams. There are different brands which have different makeups of surfactant being tested. After all of the results are in we can hopefully tell which type works best in our population.
The Null hypothesis would be no change in oxygenation status
The alternative hypothesis would be reduction on oxygen requirements and decreased ventilation support needed.
The Null would nit be rejected in this case because it would mean that the research supports no advantage of surfactant administration.

Write a 700–1000-word paper in which you demonstrate information literacy skills essential for using evidence-based practice in nursing informatics. Find three relevant resources on a singular nursing informatics topic using a Google search, a library database search, and a search from one additional source (video, textbook, newspaper, website, etc.). Identify each resource and provide a concise summary of its content. Please use APA 7th Edition.
Describe your search strategy, source selection, and evaluation.
Resource Identification: Write about the accuracy and relevance of the three resources you’ve selected for the paper. Exemplary performance involves accurately identifying three pertinent resources from a Google search, a library database search, and an additional source. 
Resource Summary: Provide a summary for each selected resource. Be concise, comprehensive, and clearly articulate the main points covered.

CASE STUDY: Mildred is a 45-year-old married female with three children. She presents to the clinic with complaints of fatigue and difficulty sleeping. She states she wants to get a good night’s sleep and is requesting a prescription to help her sleep. Mildred tells you she is awake off and on during the night, frequently thinking about her husband’s recent layoff from construction work and the effect this is having on the family. She lies down often during the day and has been so fatigued that she took some time off from work during the last two weeks. She is tearful at times during the visit and looks sad and anxious. On further discussion, she says she feels overwhelmed, helpless, and anxious. She tells you about an episode where she felt her heart beating rapidly, had difficulty catching her breath, felt she was going to have a heart attack, and became frightened until her husband was able to help calm her down. She is not eating as much as usual, and when she reads the newspaper, she does not remember what she has read.
