Abstract
Learning objectives help keep nursing students focused on the goals of their academic and professional careers. Using Bloom’s taxonomy, it becomes easier to identify the core competencies and underlying purpose of specific and general learning objectives. This paper reveals two specific and measurable personal learning objectives using Bloom’s taxonomy, linking those objectives to the overarching DNP learning objectives.
Learning Objectives Using Bloom’s Taxonomy
Bloom’s taxonomy has been described as a “framework for categorizing educational goals,” (Armstrong, 2017, p. 1). Although the original taxonomy was developed in the 1950s, a revised edition has been used since 2001. According to Armstrong (2017), the revised version of Bloom’s taxonomy offers “a more dynamic conception of classification,” (p. 1). Using action words, Bloom’s taxonomy encompasses the following elements: Remembering, Understanding, Applying, Analyzing, Evaluating, and Creating. Bloom’s taxonomy helps to define and clarify learning objectives for nurses.
Measurable Learning Objective: Explicate the Importance of Evidence-Based Practice
Evidence-based practice is central to the DNP scientific underpinnings of nursing. Therefore, this objective will expand my nursing knowledge and skills at the aggregate, organizational, and policy level by increasing my understanding of what constitutes evidence,...
It is important to understand why evidence-based practice is important, which requires an investigation of the history of nursing practice, an increased awareness of how to apply statistical information to the nursing practice, and how to use research and statistics to shape institutional or public policy. Understanding how to search for, acquire, and apply evidence is also a critical competency of nurses working in the DNP. It is important to understand how to locate relevant data, and how to communicate and use that data effectively to achieve specific patient-centric goals.
Measurable Learning Objective: Systematically Evaluate Team of Nurses
Leadership skills are critical to nursing success. The DNP focuses on expanding and enhancing nurse leadership through the educational process. Therefore, this learning objective enables me to practice the art of performance evaluation by working as a leader with a team of nurses in a specific practice area. The system of evaluation will be standardized, and will enable me to develop stronger communications skills.
Furthermore, this learning objective will expand my advanced nursing knowledge and skills at the aggregate, organizational, or policy level. At…

Bloom's Taxonomy: Nursing Education Like most areas of life, education has increased in complexity. Many new philosophies and a deeper understanding of the human mind have brought about a myriad new ways to educate students for their future lives and careers. Further complicating this is the fact that not all students respond uniformly to the same educational system or method. In addition, specific areas of study and their related professions have
Nurse Critical Thinking Critical Thinking and Other Intellectual Skills: Documented Benefits and Skill Application in Nursing There are many academic skills that are necessary for nursing students that also serve nurses well in professional practice. This paper will examine three such academic skills both in their general benefits to learners and professionals in all sectors and personally to my own advances in nursing knowledge and practice. Active reading, effective writing, and critical
Education Plan for Nurse Burnout at North Mountain Medical The current issue at North Mountain Medical is nursing burnout, which is caused by various factors including inadequate staffing, increased workload, long working hours, poor working environment, and inadequate time to complete a task effectively. The proposed change project to address this issue is an educational plan that targets nursing burnout, particularly workplace stress management. In this regard, the practicum education project
Nursing Education Assessment Project Coursework early in a nursing education program covers a broad range of topics and extensive amount of details must be committed to memory. Assessments that are directly tied to coursework are primarily formative assessments, which demonstrate the ongoing learning over the period of the course. Formative assessments generally take the form of quizzes and clinical demonstrations of a particular knowledge set recently covered in during a class
HIPAA Compliance Training of Nursing Services Staff Curriculum Development - HIPAA Educational need and rationale. The primary educational need of nurses at Heart of Lancaster Regional Medical Center is training in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). The basis for identification of this need was the administration of semi-structured interviews and questionnaires with nursing services staff at Heart of Lancaster medical center. The results of the interviews and survey showed
Blueprint for Teaching Ethics in Nursing Practice The development of a test blueprint is an important component in teaching practice just like architecture is to the building and construction industry. One of the major reasons for the development and use of a test blueprint in the teaching profession is the differences in understanding and perspectives of the term "test" by students and teachers alike. Moreover, teachers and students are increasingly
