SOLUTION

My nursing practice contributes to the organization and the community in various ways. At the organizational level, I educate and guide the new nurses within my unit. I feel that as a result, this measure also increases patient safety and satisfaction when we work openly as a team. The new nurses tend to feel comfortable and to ask questions whenever they need clarity, which further helps us to minimize chances of errors. I seek to be a good nurse leader who guides and educates novice nurses to become more competent. Learning should be a safe zone because that is why they are there, to learn. “Familiarizing students with nursing as work and an occupation, acting as a role model for students, showing different aspects and functions in the work of nurses and also imaging demands of the nursing profession” (Jokelainen, p. 2863, 2011).
