Professor Storms,

I found this course to be very informative in a variety of ways. As a nurse, we learned the different values that we possess, but as a nurse practitioner those may change some. Honestly, the case studies were very helpful. I like to be put into scenarios such as those and have to work through them with the help of classmates. They made me think of ethical decisions that I may have to make as a nurse practitioner. As a nurse, some of those scenarios I have never been in, but obviously as a nurse practitioner, I could be in an uncomfortable situation like some of those that were presented. I had never taken time to figure out HMOs versus PPOs. After reading about them, I feel like they are similar in so many ways, but also have their differences. This information will be helpful when I start practicing.

I also enjoyed doing the research for the scope of practice for each state. I didn’t realize that each state was so different in the types of MSN they recognized, what they allowed them to do, and their licensure requirements. It was good to look into my state to know what I will be looking forward to once we have completed school. The use of Kaltura was rather difficult to figure out how to get the information uploaded, but the presentation itself was interesting to do. I realized how many times I said “um” when I was speaking! It took me multiple times of recording to be satisfied with my recording!

I had never heard of curriculum vitae, so that was interesting to learn about and write. It does look more professional than a resume, so I am glad we learned about the use of that. I was stressed out with the practicum information until this class when we started breaking down each class, what was expected for that rotation of clinicals, and the process of setting up clinical rotations. I feel better about this now and am in the process of getting them set up.

Kristen, I am glad you are walking away from the course with more knowledge. The CV is definitely a change from a resume and when you are seeking a professional position, the CV is what employers ask for. Getting one started now is a great way to prepare for job seeking. You can add to it as you go through the program to include papers you have written and honors obtained. Best wishes!

When I did my report, I actually learned the difference between a resume and a curriculum vitae. I have always heard of a resume and rarely heard about a CV. However, it made me aware of the difference between them. I think I will create two different kinds. I think now I will work on having a curriculum vitae  and also having a resume at hand just in case employers ask for both. I think it makes more sense to also have a CV because nursing is not just a job but an actually career that people stay a long time in. Becoming more marketable and learning different ways to reach employers is extremely important with obtaining a new job. With this educational program, the idea is to start on a new path as a nurse practitioner. It is important to have both when applying for a nurse practitioner job. Also upon doing the paper I was able to learn the difference. Along with the LACE project and learning the CV, it really set the foundation for the path that I decided to take as a nurse practitioner and learning how it is important to have both on file when applying for a new job. This class was amazing and I appreciate everything we learned. Thank you Professor Storms for teaching this class!

Hi Krystal,

I too learned the difference between a resume and CV. During my undergraduate nursing studies, students were directed to create their resumes. This was due in part that many of us did not have enough experience and credentials to create an impressive CV. However, as graduate nursing students, many of us have been in the field for five or more years. The CV would be the better format to reflect our knowledge, skills, and professional strengths. Kawar, Dunbar, and Scruth (2017) state there are three ways nurses can

showcase who they are: the resume, the CV, and the portfolio (2017). Kawar et al., (2017) advise nurses to determine the nature of the job and what they are trying to accomplish before summarizing their qualifications into one of these formats.
