Discussion 1

Following the essentials of Master’s Education in Nursing in a clinical nurse practitioner

program such as the FNU remains important in various aspects. In contemporary care settings,

expanded nursing knowledge is necessary to address today’s complexities of health and nursing

care (Melnyk, 2015). It calls for a new conceptualization of master’s education, which prepared

graduates to navigate and integrate care services, build and lead in a collaborative manner,

translate evidence into practice, advance a culture of excellence, lead change, and design

innovative practices (Hebda & Calderone, 2010). However, all these are achievable through

having knowledge of the nine Essentials that delineate the skills and understanding necessary for

all nurses prepared in master’s nursing program. In any healthcare setting, these essentials act as

a guide for preparing graduates for various areas of practice.

One of the essential that I find essential for all masters-prepared nurses is the

organization and system leadership, which is Essential II. Many nurses are leaders in their

communities, families, and in their workstations (Quality and Safety Education for Nurses,

2010). Nurses require strong leadership skills to take good care of patients on a daily basis. In

fact, they require diligent observation skills, dedication, good management skills, and

guaranteeing excellence. Strong nursing leadership assists in encouraging other nurses to work

together, but it requires strong interpersonal skills to guarantee success (In Blair & In Mirr,

2015). The Essential II is important since it allows for smooth communication between doctors

and other staffs, patient’s families, and patients. According to Porter-O’Grady and Malloch

(2009), “The Essential II helps in making informed ethical and critical decisions that promote

high quality and safe patient care.” Through good leadership, working relationships also improve

while eliminating health disparities and promoting excellence in practice.
