...This increases the challenge to understand how some tasks are easier to learn then others in various students (Meehan-Andrews, 2009). A learning model was created in the 1980’s by Neil Fleming called VARK that defines and explains the different ways people learn (VARK, 2011 ). VARK is an acronym for visual, aural, read/write, kinesthetic learning styles in one model (Alkhasawnch, 2007). The evaluation breaks down the person’s different learning styles into four different areas of learning and gives the learner an idea of what area of learning is the strongest. There are four different learning styles presented in this VARK model: visual (pictures, movies, diagrams), auditory (music, discussion, lectures), reading and writing (making lists, reading textbooks, taking notes), and kinesthetic (movement, experiments, hands-on activities) (VARK, 2011). My Learning Style The Reading/Write learning model is one of the four different learning styles presented in the VARK model. The results for this learner were a strong Read/Write learning preference and the score given was 9. Visual was a 3, Aural 5, and Kinesthetic 3. This method of learning involves making lists, taking notes, and reading in order to take in information necessary to learn and understand. The learner likes dictionaries, glossaries, definitions, handouts, textbooks, and manuals (VARK, 2011). Reading and taking notes are important to this style of learning, where graphics and pictures are not as important a tool for...

...* Difference in Competencies of Nursing Degrees: Associates vs. Baccalaureates DIFFERENCES IN COMPETENCIES OF NURSING DEGREES: ASSOCIATES VS. BACCALAUREATES The progression of nursing was basically originated among women. After all, women were considered to be the caretakers and the nurturer’s of one’s family. Decades ago, nursing was not even considered as a career. Nursing was considered to be a job that was undesirable and unwanted. There was no education for nurses until Florence Nightingale created “Nightingale Training School for Nurses at St. Thomas’s Hospital in London in 1860” (Cresaia & Friberg, 2011, pg. 4). Today, there are different degrees that may be obtained through the educational profession of nursing, The Associates Degree of Nursing (ADN) and the Baccalaureates Degree of Nursing (BSN). There are differences in acquiring each degree just like there is a difference in competencies between the two. When a student decides to go into the program of nursing, that student will have to choose between the two degrees by learning about various education requirements * Not yet rated Anonymous - 10 minutes later In the United States, there is a plethora of job opportunities available for nurses. This can be attributed to the increasing need for medical assistance in response to the burgeoning number of aging people. Hence, many aspiring nurses deem time to be at a premium when it comes to nursing studies. One of the fastest ways to get quality education...

...Baccalaureate, and RN-to-BSN Nurses There are many differences in the competencies between associate and baccalaureate level nurses. Associate level nursing programs tend to concentrate on the more technical aspects of nursing which allows students once they graduate to provide appropriate care to patients and families, especially during times of illness. They may practice on a more restricted level, making their nursing skills limited to more direct patient care in nursing homes and hospitals. Baccalaureate nursing programs improve on these skills by teaching more critical thinking to allow a more thorough approach to caring for their patients. RN-to-BSN programs allow ADN nurses that have grown confident in their hands-on skills and want to gain more critical thinking skills the ability to build on their education and "prepare...for a broader scope of practice" (American Association of Colleges of Nursing, 2014). The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) notes multiple research studies linking fewer medication errors, lower mortality rates and more positive patient outcomes to nursing education received at the baccalaureate level (2014). BSN programs also help teach the leadership needed for nursing supervision and prepare their nurses for graduate studies. Critical thinking competency is key to the future of the nursing profession as the nurse's role is becoming increasingly complex. Due to the changing nature of patient populations to include more chronically...

...Vark Analysis paper Introduction Individual learning styles vary from student to student. Each student brings different experiences, culture, level of preparedness and learning style to class room environment. To understand your individual learning style Neil Fleming as a questionnaire for understanding learning styles. The VARK-Visual, Auditory, Read/Write, and Kinesthetic questionnaire was developed to be used as tool to better understand learning styles and how to apply to learning. VARK focuses on the sensory modality dimension of learning; the way that information is taken And processed by the leaner: visual, aural, read/write, or kinesthetic (Sinclaire, Spring 2012). Visual learners favor information presented in diagrams, illustration, powerpoints and handouts. Also the visual learner is more likely to take additional notes during lectures.

...Chapter I The Problem and Its Background Introduction Nursing involves specialized skills and application of knowledge based on education that has both theoretical and clinical components. Nursing upholds standards set forth by professional organizations and follows an established code of ethics. The concerns of nursing focus on human responses to actual or potential health problems and are increasingly focus on wellness, an area of caring that encompasses nursing’s unique knowledge and abilities. Nursing is rich in tradition, which is used to develop and redefine both the art and science of nursing. Furthermore, nursing is increasingly being recognized as scholarly with academic qualifications, research, and publication specific to nursing is increasingly becoming more widely accepted and respected. Background of the Study One of the major issues in nursing currently involves nursing education. Nursing profession provides a single route for the educational preparation of its practitioners. However, the development of nursing as a profession has resulted in three major educational routes that prepare graduates to write the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) for registered nursing. The three traditional educational avenues that prepare men and women for registered nursing are hospital-based diploma programs, 2-year associate degree programs (primarily found at junior and community colleges), and baccalaureate programs (offered at 4-year colleges...

...SELF-REGULATORY SKILLS OF THE 2nd YEAR BSN STUDENTS By ANNA C. BOCAR Abstract Lack of self-regulatory skills appears to be a potential identification for students to fail from their class activities. Educators should help the students to value learning skills. Students should have to be more responsible on managing their own learning to become more strategic and productive learners. They can be more aware only of the strong and weak points in their self-regulations can have a constructive feedback after their self evaluations. The descriptive survey was the main method utilized in this study. The substantial numbers of samples are purposively selected to employ the processes of collecting the data. As manifested by the self evaluation of 2nd year nursing students, among the six self regulatory skills five of them namely : metacognition, self concept, self monitoring, strategy formation and volition control are practiced by the respondents at majority of the time, however it was found that metacognition was seen above these five skills with 3.14 factor average. The investigation also revealed that as regard to motivation the respondents’ practiced this attitude generally at great extent even though the factor average is 1.89 on the reason that the inventory statements are stated in its negative manner.
