Week 1 Discussion Networking Opportunities
In this module, you begin laying the foundation for your academic and professional
success. Your efforts begin with a vision that includes your own definition of
success. Your vision may vary from those of your colleagues, but this does not
mean you have to take these first steps alone.
Walden
University and the School of Nursing (SON) also have a vision and mission,
which include helping you to make your own vision a reality. Members of your
new academic community, such as faculty, support teams, and fellow students,
can also be helpful. Current practitioners and other member of the professional
community can also help you to clarify your vision.
This Module’s Discussion asks you to consider how the Walden mission and vision as
well as the SON’s mission and vision apply to your professional and academic
goals. You will also begin to identify individuals and teams who can help you
along the way as you begin designing the “blueprint”—your Academic Success and
Professional Development Plan—that will guide you toward your own vision for
academic and professional success.
To Prepare:
Review the Walden and SON mission and vision statements, Walden’s goals and University Outcomes,
and the MSN Program Learning Outcomes presented in this Module’s Learning
Resources.

your professional and academic goals as they relate to your
program/specialization.

collaborate in support of your efforts as a student at the university and as a

Week 2 Discussion
Strategies
for Addressing Questions
In Module
1, you began building a foundation for your success by considering a
network-individuals and teams who can help you to clarify and execute on the
vision. A network is most helpful when you are comfortable asking questions.
Chances are other members of your network have experienced similar questions
and may have helped guide others toward resolutions that can now be helpful.
In this
Discussion, focus on the questions you are ready to ask as your journey begins.
Keep in mind that sharing questions is often a great way to help others who
have similar questions even if they do not realize it!
To prepare:
Reflect on
questions or concerns you might have as you begin the MSN program.
Consider
the individuals, teams, and departments you previously considered in Module 1
as well as how they may provide support with addressing these questions and
concerns.

you find evidence to inform your thoughts and scholarly writing? Throughout

journals. You may already have some favorite online resources and databases

databases available through the Walden Library.

visibility and credibility to a company’s products.

their work. You can begin building your brand by developing and maintaining an
academic portfolio. Such an activity can help share the results of your efforts
and contribute to your success. This Module’s Discussion asks you to consider
and share strategies for building your portfolio.

that focus on academic achievements.

Examining
Nursing Specialties
You have
probably seen one or more of the many inspirational posters about decisions. A
visual such as a forked road or a street sign is typically pictured, along with
a quote designed to inspire.
Decisions
are often not so easily inspired. Perhaps you discovered this when choosing a
specialty within the MSN program. This decision is a critical part of your plan
for success, and you no doubt want to get it right. This is yet another area
where your network can help, as well as other sources of information that can
help you make an informed choice.
To Prepare:
Reflect on
your decision to pursue a specialty within the MSN program, including your
professional and academic goals as they relate to your program/specialization.
