NURS-6002 Week 5 Discussion: Strategies For Academic Portfolios

In the realm of marketing, a successful branding strategy is one of the most important contributors to organizational success. A solid branding strategy can help add visibility and credibility to a company’s products. Similarly, nurse scholars can build a personal brand to add visibility and credibility to 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 week’s Discussion asks you to consider and share strategies for building your portfolio.

To Prepare:

• Reflect on strategies that you can pursue in developing portfolios or portfolio elements that focus on academic achievements.
• Review one or more samples from your own research of resources focused on portfolio development.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.

Discuss how nurse scholars can build a personal brand to add visibility and credibility to their work

Introduction

If you want to build a personal brand, it’s important to define your values, goals, and image. The more clearly you can communicate who you are as a person and what makes you unique, the more people will be able to connect with you and the more likely they are to hire or work with you. Once these three aspects of your brand have been established, then it’s time to start building up your visibility online so that others can see what kind of work or activities you have going on in different areas of interest. This article will go over some ways that nurse scholars can use social media outlets like Facebook and LinkedIn for their own personal brands by promoting themselves as experts in areas such as nursing research or education policy development

Define your personal brand.

As a nurse scholar, you’ve established a reputation for your work. Your name may be known among peers and patients alike. You’re in demand by universities that want to hire you as their next professor or researcher. But what do we mean when we say “personal brand?”

A personal brand is the sum total of all your public statements about yourself and how you present yourself (or don’t). It’s the way in which people perceive your identity and credibility based on those statements whether they’re positive or negative ones. A good example would be Oprah Winfrey: she has built her legacy as an inspiring figure who gives hope to women who have struggled with weight issues; but also as someone who sells books, clothes and jewelry (not necessarily related).

The first step toward building a strong personal brand is knowing yourself well enough so that others can see themselves reflected back at them through what they see from inside their own minds’ eyes while looking at themselves in the mirror every morning! The second step is defining clear goals based upon those qualities already identified within oneself; then setting specific targets towards achieving them by implementing strategies based upon these two above mentioned points above.”

Identify and be consistent with your values, goals, and image.

Nurse scholars should be consistent with their values, goals, and image. A nurse scholar’s personal brand is the sum total of all of the things that make them unique as a person, and it can be used to build trust within their audience. By defining your personal brand you will enable others to understand what makes you different from other members of the nursing community. This will allow people to identify with you more easily because they see someone they can relate to or aspire to be like on a daily basis!

Determine Your Strengths And Weaknesses (If You Have Any)

It’s important for everyone who wants success in any field not just nursing to understand where they excel at and where they need improvement so that they can work towards improving those areas which hold them back from reaching their full potentials as well as helping others achieve theirs too!

Determine how you want to contribute to the nursing profession.

The next step is to determine how you want to contribute. What skills or knowledge do you have that can help others in the nursing profession? Are there certain topics that interest you, and would it be fun for you to teach or write about them? Where are your strengths, and what can they bring to the table as a nurse scholar?

Consider how much time and energy are required for this project—will it require full-time employment or only part-time work at first (e.g., during evenings)? How much time will be spent writing articles online? What kind of research does this require: reading books; conducting interviews with experts in the field; conducting surveys with other nurses on various topics related back into their own practice area(s).

Establish a plan for your professional development.

Developing a personal brand is an important part of building your professional identity. You can do this by:

• Creating online profiles on social media, LinkedIn and other websites that showcase your skills, education and experience.

• Writing blog posts about topics related to nursing or other health-related fields that relate to the work you do at the hospital. These posts should be highly readable because they should be read by others who are interested in what you have to say about your field as well as those who may be looking for jobs with similar qualifications but don’t know where else they can find such information in their area of expertise (or lack thereof).

Use social media to showcase your work.

As a nurse scholar, you have the opportunity to use social media as a platform for your personal brand. You can share your opinions and ideas with others, which will help build credibility in the nursing community. You can also use social media as a research tool by sharing articles and other content that aligns with what you are studying.

If you’re interested in building up visibility on social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook, it is important that you create an account so people can find out more about who you are and what work/volunteer experience(s).

Target your social media posts for maximum visability.

Your social media posts can be a powerful way to showcase your work and build visibility and credibility. To do so, you’ll want to leverage hashtags, images, videos, and other content types that will be most relevant at the time of your post’s release. For example:

• Use hashtags when posting about an event or topic that has been trending on social media (for example: #NCLExam2018). This will help people find and follow you more easily.

• Use images when sharing information about projects or events related to your field (for example: a photo with a patient from our hospital’s recent study). Images are often shared more than text-only posts because they’re more engaging for readers’ eyes!

• Post videos where possible you’ll get better engagement from viewers if there isn’t much text involved in what you’re saying!

Develop a reputation for being an expert in your area of interest.

You can develop a reputation for being an expert in your area of interest. This is done through peer-to-peer recognition, which means that people will speak highly of you and refer to your work on the basis of what they know about you.

Benefits:

• Being known as an expert builds trust with employers, patients and clients. People are more likely to accept your recommendations if they know that you have expertise in a certain field or profession. In some cases, this may even mean filling gaps in services because other nurses may not be able to provide them due to lack of knowledge or experience; however, it’s important not let this get out of hand! If someone approaches you asking questions about something related specifically towards the practice then there shouldn’t be any issues but if someone approaches asking questions unrelated then make sure there isn’t anything illegal going on (such as selling drugs).

Your activities and behaviors should reinforce who you are as a nurse and as a nurse scholar.

As a nurse, you should be able to explain your values, goals and image. You should also be able to explain how you want to contribute to the nursing profession and develop your career. Your personal brand is not just about what you do for work; it’s also about how you behave outside of work. If people know that they can trust their nurses because they’re good people who care about others and make a difference in their lives every day then that’s all that matters!

Conclusion

For nurses interested in becoming scholars, the keys to establishing a personal brand are consistency and visibility. The first step is identifying your values and goals as an educator, then defining how you want to contribute to the nursing profession. Once you’ve identified these elements, it’s time to develop a plan for your professional development. Finally, social media can be used effectively as part of this strategy by targeting posts for maximum visibility through relevant hashtags like #nursing or #education.
