Critical reflection of your growth and development during your practicum
experience in a clinical setting has the benefit of helping you identify
opportunities for improvement in your clinical skills while also recognizing
your clinical strengths and successes.
This week, you will write a Journal Entry reflecting on your clinical
strengths and opportunities for improvement.
To prepare:
? Refer to your FNP Clinical Skills and Procedures Self-Assessment Form
from your previous assignment in this week and consider your strengths and
opportunities for improvement.
Journal Entry (450–500 words):?
? Explain what most excites and/or concerns you about pediatric clinical
experiences. Include a description of your strengths and weaknesses in terms
of working with children and how these strengths and weaknesses might
impact your Practicum experience.
? Discuss your personal definition of family and family roles that might
impact the assessment of a child and his or her family. Also expand your
discussion on the challenges of working with families. Explain how you
would handle parents that do not want to vaccinate children.
? Then, explain how culture (both the culture of the provider and that of the
child and his or her family) may further influence the assessment.

If drugs were legalized, operations such as the buy and bust would no longer apply. Generally speaking, do you feel that drugs should be legalized? Why or why not?  What effect might legalization have on your children and families? Explain. What positive or negative effects might it have on the United States? Explain.

 
The typical undercover operation is known as a buy and bust. That means that an undercover officer buys the drugs from the dealer and then arrests the seller. Or, the officer could do just the opposite by posing as a drug dealer and arresting the drug users after a purchase. That is known as a reverse sting, or a sell and bust. Undercover operations may include wiretaps, inspection of all legal records and documents (in which legal channels must be followed), and surveillance. 
In 5–6 paragraphs, address the following:

Do you consider a “buy and bust” or a “sell and bust” to be entrapment? Why or why not? 

What types of offenders do you think are most susceptible to these strategies? Explain. 

If drugs were legalized, operations such as the buy and bust would no longer apply. Generally speaking, do you feel that drugs should be legalized? Why or why not? 

What effect might legalization have on your children and families? Explain.
What positive or negative effects might it have on the United States? Explain.
What effect would it have on U.S. borders? Explain. 

What challenges would legalization pose to law enforcement strategies? Explain.

According to studies of graduates of bachelor-degree programs in psychology, entry-level positions tend to pay relatively little and may be relatively unsatisfying. Although the positions, pay, and reported job satisfaction of psychology majors tend to significantly improve many years after graduation, those who enter the workforce immediately upon graduation risk at least a few years of less-than-satisfactory employment (Landrum & Elison-Bowers, 2009; Rajecki & Borden, 2011). Although graduate school can be a route to a better paying, more satisfying job and career, it is quite expensive. According to the APA (2003), a doctoral degree results in most students entering into debts worth $50,000 to $75,000 or even more. The median debt incurred for a master’s degree is approximately $25,000 (Kantrowitz, 2011). Using your textbook, the Internet, and the Argosy University online library resources, research choices such as entering the workforce immediately upon graduation or enrolling in a graduate school. On the basis of your research, respond to the following: Select one of the options: entering the workforce upon graduation or attending graduate school. Identify at least five benefits and at least five risks associated your chosen option. For example, if you choose to enter the workforce immediately upon graduation, identify the benefits and risks of doing so. Cite at least two sources of this information. Design a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation illustrating the risks and benefits. Include at least one graph, chart, or table to add to the presentation’s visual appeal.

If you have chosen to enter the workforce, imagine you are designing the presentation for a job fair at which you are a recruiter trying to convince new graduates of undergraduate programs to work for your organization.
If you have chosen to enter graduate school, imagine you are designing the presentation for a professional conference where you hope to recruit undergraduate seniors to apply to your graduate program.
Include one slide with a speech or a persuasive narrative, in your own words, to persuade students or recent graduates to make one choice (join the workforce or enter graduate school).
Include at least one slide addressing recent trends in the job market and analyzing whether this is an optimal time to enter the workforce or to continue your studies in graduate school.
Include at least one slide addressing the pitfalls recent graduates from bachelor’s degree programs face and how best to avoid those challenges. One pitfall must be related to the financial risk of or the debt incurred as a result of making each choice (joining the workforce and continuing school).

Refer to the sidebar to download and review a copy of either the Microsoft Word poster template, or else the Microsoft PowerPoint poster template.

Support your statements with information from academic sources, one of which can be your textbook. Be sure to include in-text citations and a reference list on the final slides of the presentation.
