Discoveries (Interprofessional Collaboration-1)
Throughout the course, I have gained a deeper understanding of the importance of interprofessional collaboration in nursing. Working collaboratively with other healthcare professionals can improve patient outcomes and enhance the overall quality of care. I have realized that as a nurse, I play a vital role in promoting effective interprofessional collaboration-1.

Personal Strengths and Weaknesses
Regarding personal strengths, I am an active listener and enjoy working in a team setting. I have also developed excellent communication skills essential in facilitating interprofessional collaboration. However, I have also identified areas where I need improvement. One of my weaknesses is my limited knowledge of other healthcare professionals’ roles and responsibilities, which could hinder effective collaboration. I need to focus on learning more about their respective fields to improve my understanding and ability to work with them (Reeves et al., 2020) (interprofessional collaboration-1).
Additional Resources
To address these weaknesses, I plan to attend interprofessional education programs that offer an opportunity to learn about other healthcare professionals’ roles and responsibilities. This knowledge will improve my ability to work effectively with them and ultimately contribute to better patient outcomes. Moreover, integrating leadership and inquiry into my nursing practice is crucial in promoting interprofessional collaboration (McFadyen et al., 2019). As a leader, I encourage team collaboration and ensure that everyone’s contributions are valued. Additionally, I should ask questions and seek feedback from my colleagues to identify areas of improvement and develop strategies for enhancing collaboration.
