Professional Capacity Building

Question: Discuss about theProfessional Capacity Building. Answer: Introduction This professional capacity building shows the pathway that I would like to follow to achieve my objective of becoming a professional nurse. It provides an overview of my strengths and opportunities. It further identifies the weaknesses and threats that I am likely to be faced with in my attempt of achieving the goals (Allen, Himmelfarb, Szanton, 2003/2004). In addition, it provides a list of objectives that I would like to achieve over the five-year period to succeed in my dream of becoming a professional community nurse practitioner. Further, still, this document provides a clear description of my critical thinking and analysis that supports the rational that I have the dream of becoming a community nurse (Holzemer Klainberg, 2014). Requirements to become a community health nurse A community nurse must be registered in the first case and must have done a community health course or a postgraduate degree in nursing. I intend to register for a post graduate degree in the shortest time possible so as to acquire skills that would enable me to be registered as a nurse by the Australian Board of Nursing and Midwifery. I would then be able to undertake the duties of a community health nurse (Basavanthappa, 2008). I would like to express my love for the community and the nursing profession at the same time. As a result, training to become a professional community health nurse would be the best way in which I would be able to accomplish my dream. Community health nurses educate community members and at the same time offer nursing practice to them (Hitchcock, Schubert, Sue, 2003). The focus of the community health nurses is to improve the health of family members in the assigned community. I look forward to doing the same role (Loman, D, Cinton, 2009). Besides, there is a high demand for community nurses. I would, therefore, love to fill in the vacancies that are in place. I understand quite well that the job is challenging and rewarding in equal measures. However, I believe in myself, and I am equal to the task (Jaruseviciene, Liseckiene, Valius, Kontrimiene, 2013). Need of Role in the Future There is a need for the community members' health needs to be met. It is my desire too to ensure that the needs of the people regarding health are fully met. It is also necessary for the increased demand for community health workers to be met. At the same time, it is necessary for health awareness to be improved. I will work together with other renowned healthcare team members in the provision of high-quality services to the community members (Lundy Janes, 2009). Critical Thinking and Analysis First, I would rehearse so as to be able to provide safe healthcare to community members in the most ideal and appropriate evidence; Second, I intend to undertake exercises that would improve my experts in the community health practice; And, third, I also look ahead to demonstrate my ability to conduct research in the field of community healthcare. At the same time, I recognize the research work that has been conducted in the field of community health. References Allen, J. K., Himmelfarb, D., Szanton, C. R. (2003/2004).
