TRANSITION TO GRADUATE STUDY FOR NURSINGDiscussion: Networking
OpportunitiesThis week you begin to lay the foundation for your academic and professional
success. Your efforts begin with a vision, which 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 College of Nursing 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 members of the professional community can also
help you to clarify your vision.This week’s Discussion asks you to think about how the
Walden mission and vision and the College of Nursing mission and vision apply to your
professional and academic goals. You will also begin to identify individuals and teams that
can help you along the way, as you begin to design 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 the College of
Nursing mission and vision statements, Walden’s goals and University Outcomes, and the
MSN Program Learning Outcomes presented in this week's Learning Resources.Reflect on
your professional and academic goals as they relate to your
program/specialization.Consider how the information in these resources fit with your own
goals and to your becoming a scholar-practitioner.Also consider academic and professional
individuals and teams that you may collaborate with in support of your efforts as a student
at the University and as a professional within your organization and career.By Day 3Post a
brief post introducing yourself to your colleagues. Include an explanation for how Walden’s
vision, mission, goals, and social change initiatives relate to your professional and academic
goals and to your becoming a scholar-practitioner. Also include an explanation for how the
Walden MSN program outcomes and perspectives relate to your professional and academic
goals and to your becoming a scholar-practitioner.Support main post with 3 of more
current, credible sources and cite source within content of posting and on a reference list in
proper APA.By Day 6Respond to at least two of your colleagues on two different days, by
suggesting additional individuals and/or teams with whom to collaborate or by offering
additional networking strategies.Be sure to offer support from at least 2 current, credible
sources in each required response to classmates’ main post and cite per APA.Submission

Developing an Academic and Professional NetworkWhen was the last time you
read Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions and Several Steps in my Sickness—Meditation
XVII?Unless you are a student of 17th-century poetry, you may not be all that familiar with
this piece by author John Donne. However, you may be much more familiar with one of its
well-known phrases: “No man is an island.”As you begin your journey toward achieving
your academic and professional goals, you have a great opportunity to network with
academics and professionals who can help ensure you do not travel alone. This network can
help to clarify your own vision for success and can help guide you now and in the future. To
paraphrase Donne, no one is an island.Begin creating an academic and professional network
by identifying which academic and professional connections and resources you need to
collaborate with to be successful in your MSN program and as a practicing nurse.To
Prepare:Consider individuals, departments, teams, and/or resources within Walden
University and within your profession that you believe can support your academic and
professional success.Identify at least two academic and at least two professional
individuals, colleagues, or teams to collaborate with to help you be successful in your MSN
program and as a practicing nurse.Download the Academic Success and Professional
Development Plan Template.The Assignment:Academic and Professional NetworkComplete

Strategies for Addressing QuestionsIn Week 1 you began building a foundation for your
success by considering a network; individuals and teams that 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 be helpful now.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 Week 1 and how they may provide support to
address these questions and concerns. Then, identify potential individuals, teams, or
departments within Walden or your network that you can turn to for assistance in
answering these questions and/or concerns.By Day 3Post any questions or concerns that
you are willing to share with the group. The Discussion Board represents an opportunity to
network with your course colleagues, and others may have the same questions or
concerns.Support main post with 3 of more current, credible sources and cite source within
content of posting and on a reference list in proper APA.By Day 6Respond to at least two of
your colleagues on two different days, by offering a possible resolution to their
question/concern with supporting documentation, if possible, or expanding on their
thinking and providing an example as support.Be sure to offer support from at least 2
current, credible sources in each required response to classmates’ main post and cite per
APA.Submission and Grading InformationGrading CriteriaTo access your rubric:Week 2

begin with a design phase, where architects blueprint the vision complete with design
details. They work in collaboration with builders who use the designs to prepare the
appropriate strategies, tools, and materials to bring the vision to reality. You are both
6. architect and builder of your success. You have started to blueprint your vision in
your Academic Success and Professional Development Plan. You have identified others with
whom you will collaborate. Now you can begin to prepare the appropriate strategies, tools,
and materialsHow will you approach your studies? What types of resources are available to
you, and how will you access and utilize them? Taking the opportunity to prepare these
strategies, tools, and materials will help ensure you can “break ground” without incident
and successfully move to the phase where you begin building your vision.To
Prepare:Consider your goals for academic accomplishments while a student of the MSN
program.Reflect on the strategies presented in the Resources for this week. NURS 6002:

APA Style and FormatAs a nurse embarking on an advanced degree, you are developing the
characteristics of a scholar-practitioner, which includes strong communication skills.
8. Writing in a scholarly manner involves supporting your thoughts with evidence from the
literature and appropriately using APA formatting.One of the challenges of scholarly writing
is paraphrasing the thoughts of others in your work. Paraphrasing, and correctly citing the
original author for his or her ideas, allows you to take the ideas of others, summarize them,
and incorporate them into your own writing. When summarizing the ideas of others, it is
important to avoid plagiarizing (copying the words and ideas of others as though they were
your own). In addition to expanding your knowledge of APA, this week’s Resources help you
to distinguish between paraphrasing and plagiarizing.This Quiz will help you determine
how well you understand these concepts and how prepared you are to reflect them in your
work. The questions presented on the quiz are derived from the Learning Resources related
to APA writing standards, plagiarism, and academic integrity.To Prepare:Review the
Resources related to APA style and format presented to you this week.Click on the Week 3
