Assignment 10

Review the “Nursing Informatics: Scope and Standards of Practice” learning resource to explore competencies related to nursing practice.

Consider the role of competencies in nursing practice. Which competencies may be the most beneficial for project management and nursing informatics?

Reflect on which skills you might currently possess and how you might become competent in others.

The Assignment: (4 pages) excluding name and reference page

Explain what competencies are most important and beneficial for your success as a leader in your practice (psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner). Be specific and provide examples.

Appraise the leadership strategies, addressed in Informatics Leadership Standard 11, that you might employ to establish a culture that supports new information technology initiatives. Be specific.

Analyze whether or not you currently have these skills. Then, explain approaches you might recommend implementing to become competent or more proficient in this skill.
