NL Module 1 Reflection: Testing and Remediation This module really allowed me to open up my eyes into all there is when it comes to testing. To state it simply, it’s not just answering questions and being done with it. There’s actually a lot that can go into helping us nursing students become better test takers. There was a lot of new learning material but what I really learned and what will help me integrate into the nursing culture…
When looking for a type of art medium that would speak to me on how nursing is an art, I really thought to myself why would this represent nursing? Some paintings gave me ideas like taking a blood pressure or listening to heart sounds but this painting/picture that I found in Innovation Hall, about technology, caught my eye. Nursing is an evolving field and so is technology. Nursing is about being creative and on top of things both physically as…
Critical Care Reflection The book Critical Care by Theresa Brown is an amazing reflection on the life of a nurse. No matter if you’re a nurse or working in the health care system this is a great read. Her passion for providing the best care for her patients is inspiring. Brown views her patients as real people, not just a science experiment. Theresa’s heart for providing care is so big that she provides care for the patient as a…
In this essay, my ability to cite sources increased greatly. Professor Pahigian helped guide us when looking at our Little Seagull books on what articles were labeled. In my essay, you will see my works cited is formatted in the right MLA format. The citations are all in alphabetical order. The second and third lines are indented after the first line for each citation. When looking throughout my essay, you will see the authors name and a page number that…
The technology essay was easily one of my favorite essays to write this semester. I believe this to be so, because I could relate to this essay the most. Technology has consumed our world and the people that live in it. During this time, while we worked on our essays, we got to do peer review. Peer review allows you to get additional feedback on your own essay from another set of eyes. The main purpose for peer review is…
Over the course of the semester my approach to active reading has changed tremendously. At first I saw it as just connecting my ideas to what I was reading. Actually, before I learned about the active reading strategies, critical reading, and informal reading all I did was connect to the passages I read. Connecting to passages though is a form of active,critical reading. There are five categories when it comes to active, critical reading. These five categories are: understand, ask…
For this essay, I had a much better skill at “integrating” my words and the sources I used together. In my essay, my sources were mixed amongst my paragraphs. I tried to use at least two to three quotations to support each statement I made in each paragraph. Amongst the quotations, I tried to go back and forth between authors so their ideas were integrating as well. After each quotation, I would summarize what the quote was talking about and…
I feel that from draft one to the final draft, I made the most changes. I felt this essay was easier to write because I understood what I was writing about and I also had a bias to this topic as well. I agreed that technology is consuming the world we live in, speeding up our everyday actions, and affecting our day to day lives. This essay of mine was also much better because this is the second essay we…
The Showcase Writing Project was made to highlight a section of work that I did over the semester. I chose to showcase my Technology Essay. This essay was much better than the first one I did in the semester. I felt very confident about this essay because it was a topic I felt strong about and knew a lot about as well. Our world is growing based on technology now and there seems to be no end to it. My…
