NR599 Nursing Informatics for Advanced Practice

Week 2 Discussion

Pre TANIC Self-Assessment and Reflection Post

Purpose

The self-assessment is completed using the TIGER-based  Assessment of Nursing Informatics Competencies  (TANIC) tool. TIGER refers to the Technology Informatics Guiding Education Reform Initiative which identified a list of the minimum informatics competencies for all nurses and students graduating from pre- and post-licensure programs.  The  graded self-evaluation of your informatics competencies is required in order to increase one’s own u nderstanding  of competencies in nursing informatics which will enable  the planning of strategies to  enhance knowledge and skills. 

Activity Learning Outcomes

Through this assignment, the student will demonstrate the ability to: 

Apply knowledge of nursing informatics and non-nursing science (CO 1 and  2)

Assess nursing informatics competencies (CO2) 

Evaluate progress in enhancing nursing informatics competencies (CO4)

Foster professional and personal development with planning strategies to enhance these competencies  (CO4) 

Examine ethical decision making in relation to these competencies (CO3)

Scholarly sources: Only scholarly sources are acceptable for citation and reference in this course. These include peer reviewed publications, government reports, or sources written by a professional or scholar in the field. Your textbook and lesson are not considered to be an outside scholarly source. For the discussions and reflection posts, reputable internet sources such as websites by government agencies (URL ends in .gov) and respected organizations (often ends in .org) can be counted as scholarly sources. The best outside scholarly source to use is a peer-reviewed nursing journal.  You are encouraged to use the Chamberlain library and search one of the available data bases for a peer-reviewed journal article.  The following sources should not be used: Wikipedia, Wikis, or blogs.  These web  sites are not considered scholarly as anyone can add to these. Please be aware that .com websites can vary in scholarship and quality.  For example, the American Heart Association is a .com site with scholarship and quality.  It is the responsibility of the student to determine the scholarship and quality of any .com site.  Ask your instructor before using any site if you are unsure. Points will be deducted from the rubric if the site does not demonstrate scholarship or quality. Current outside scholarly sources must be published with the last 5 years.  Instructor permission must be obtained BEFORE the assignment is due if using a source that is older than 5 years. 

ATTENTION: Students will not receive results following completion of this survey. For the reflection questions, please recall how you rated your proficiency/competency with the skills on the survey.
