This adaptive quiz felt a lot better than the previous two. Even though I had more remediations to do and I completed more questions, I felt really confident in the material for this adaptive quiz. I’m currently finishing up the first part of my maternal child health class focusing on Maternity and the care of the newborn. I think having the information so fresh in my mind and playing out as I got to take this adaptive quiz really helped…
The person I chose is a leader and role model for many reasons. Not only is she a leader in her role as a Pediatric Nurse, but also as a home health nurse to a child she’s raised for years, and as the leader extern in the Sigma Theta Tau International Nursing Honor Society Kappa Zeta-at-Large Chapter. She is also a tutor at the University of New England. I attended almost all her tutoring sessions for a fall class of…
I think this adaptive quiz went a lot better than the first adaptive quiz I took. If I improve little by little for each adaptive quiz then I know the time I’m putting into my remediations, the small changes I’m making to my test taking strategies, and the content and knowledge I am learning as well as retaining is paying off. Pharmacology content always makes me nervous because there are a lot of medications that are important to know, but…
While watching the movie NURSES I’m feeling excited, emotional, happy, and ready to start my career as a nurse and be the advocate, friend, supporter, and most importantly caretaker of my patients. This movie has me reflecting on the skills the nurses exemplify and what skills I still need to develop in myself. I think one of the most important skills that I can always improve on is communication. It’s sometimes hard to find the right response and I believe…
I think what went well for this adaptive quiz was the mindset I had while taking this quiz. I was focused on this quiz as if I was taking the NCLEX and I was preparing myself by using my SMART goals. These goals are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time bound. Since I prepared to take the quiz, took the quiz, remediated, and submitted the remediations I believe I achieved my SMART goals. To me, that is another analysis of…
As I look forward to graduation, licensure, and my first job as an RN I have mixed feelings and emotions. I mainly feel excitement and nervousness. I’m most excited about beginning my future career in a setting that I have chosen and look forward to pursuing. I’m still not 100% sure yet about the field of nursing but I know I will figure it out and I have a journey ahead of me. I’m also excited for the opportunity to…
To be able to disseminate our findings on The Benefits of Proning with my group was a great experience. The experience brought together by great team collaboration, communication, organization, and hardworking members is what made the dissemination of our findings go so smoothly and neatly. We are still awaiting feedback from our audience. Our projects have been printed and are soon to be delivered to the unit. I know we will receive great feedback on our work. I believe this…
In the event of a disaster (natural or man-made) there are many responsibilities and roles that a nurse has but I believe that the primary roles and responsibilities are to number one protect their patients, number two protect themselves, and number three be a resource for anyone that needs their assistance. It is their role to be there for their patients and provide care where it is needed but it is also their role to do what can be done…
All the patients I’ve worked with are a part of my journey to receiving my degree as a nurse. As I think about community and public health nursing and all the topics we’ve gone over in class, there are many patients that come to mind. One patient encounter I experienced in clinical at UNE can be connected to many areas of community and public health nursing. When I think about their demographic, they are within an average demographic in accordance…
A few semesters ago I was in ethics class and the topic Death with Dignity was discussed. I had no idea what it was before that class took place. A movie was shown, and I don’t think there was a dry eye in the class by the time it finished. Powerful, impactful, meaningful, but also sadness was what I felt. I took death with dignity as it is named; a person choosing to end their life on their own terms…
