1. Are you a part of a professional organization? If so, which one? If not, which professional organization might you be interested in joining? Why?
I am currently part of two professional organizations. I have a membership to American Association of Critical Care Nurses (AACN) and Lippencott Nursing Center. These are great organizations that provide free CE’s and valuable reading material. New journal articles are released each month. They also provide pocket cards that are helpful at the bedside. I also want to join American Association for Nurse Practitioners (AANP) because that is the degree that I am aiming for.
What type of civic engagement have you participated in, or what type of civic engagement might you be interested in participating in? Be specific by connecting your experiences to your community.
I have participated in several vaccine clinics and blood pressure checks at local events. Having blood pressure stations set up at local events are so beneficial to the community. I have had people tell me that they have not had their BP checked in years! I am also a preceptor and mentor. I have precepted new grads as well as students. I love teaching! I am also a mentor to a new grad on my unit. I am so glad that I can be that person that makes someone day a little easier just by talking to them or answering a question. Sometimes they may just need a hug!
How might joining a professional organization help you with civic engagement? Be specific and provide examples.
I have been able to provide great literature to those that I have precepted from articles that I receive through the professional organizations that I belong to. I have also made packets from some of the pocket cards for my colleagues that I receive from the organizations.
2. Are you a part of a professional organization? No, I am not part of a professional organization. If so, which one? If not, which professional organization might you be interested in joining? I would be interested in joining The American Nurses Association (ANA) Why? The ANA has a wide range of resources, including educational opportunities, certifications, and free online courses as part of AACN’s continuing education program. The ANA aligns with what I am pursuing in Nursing, and that is FNP-BC.
What type of civic engagement have you participated in, or what type of civic engagement might you be interested in participating in? Be specific by connecting your experiences to your community. I have participated in feeding the homeless in my community when I used to live in Virginia. This experience enabled me to help give to less fortunate and who were hungry. It was very rewarding to see people be fed that were not able to provide that to themselves.
How might joining a professional organization help you with civic engagement? Be specific and provide examples. Joining a professional organization can help with civic engagement by allowing like-minded people that share the same ideas to come together, and network to advance causes that they care about. An example of civic engagement would be volunteering at a community event that helps the community with food, blood and clothing drives.
