Realizing what I have been through in the past 13 weeks, I have been somewhat content with how I have been doing. Again, when one always says somewhat content, I feel I have been doing pretty well and say somewhat because we all know we can always find a way to do better. With all of that being said the highest I have scored on an exam in Anatomy & Physiology I was an eighty-three percent. My scores in anatomy have been almost always above average, so not extremely worried, I will and already have been preparing a lot sooner for exams, especially for finals. When it comes to Molecules of Life and/or chemistry this has been a strong skill for myself, specifically the mathematics in chemistry. This success I have credited my AP Chemistry teacher …show more content…
The usual pattern of those who have said they do well is due to the fact that a majority of these people are going to several supplemental instruction meetings, have their own tutor whether it is a personal and/or private connection or the help given to us at the Center for Undergraduate Excellence. That is the main priority I would say to someone new coming here for nursing while you think you may not need help college will find a way to slap you hard in the face and those here to get paid to help students, theoretically, slap the sense back into you. Another thing I would have to say, something especially true to myself, believe in yourself. Before I even thought graduated high school I knew what I wanted to do with my life. I knew I wanted to be a pediatric endocrinology nurse in the Intensive Care Unit, I still do. Though, I had some people, to remain nameless, told me that I wouldn’t even be able to stay through a full academic year of an Advanced Placement (AP) chemistry class and I pass the class with an A minus. The one thing that keep me going was a

    The purpose of this body of work was to address medication errors and safe medication administration practices in relation to practicing nurses and nursing students via several different approaches. These different approaches will be presented as three separate papers but interrelated themes. The specific purpose for each paper and the corresponding research questions were addressed individually in each chapter. The approach used in the first paper was a systematic literature search of medication administration errors and the pediatric population; five themes emerged including the incidence rate of medication administration errors, specific medications involved in medication administration errors and classification of the errors, why medication…

    Essay On Nursing Shortage

    • 2146 Words

    Within the next ten years, more than one million registered nurses in the United States will be eligible for retirement. This will potentially leave the nursing profession with the largest shortage in history. The need for health care is only growing due to the aging baby boomer population. “Nursing researchers have noted that the projected nursing shortage, if not rectified, is expected to affect health care cost, job satisfaction and quality patient care” (Lartey, 2014, p. 1027). Without an adequate number of nurses’ patient safety is at risk, resulting in medical errors due to understaffing.…

    For my final portfolio, I chose to revise a shorter essay, “Potential Ramifications of a Trump Presidency,” and a longer essay, “Assignment 7: Finding Place Research Project.” I chose these two essays specifically because of their differences. The former is shorter, more informal, and includes more of my thoughts and opinions. The latter is a longer research paper, and thus is more formal and less biased as I attempted to give a brief history of gentrification and its impacts on East Liberty.…

    In my years of high school, I took all honors classes and tried to challenge myself as much as possible. This summer, when I received my schedule, I saw organic chemistry was one of my classes. Many people told me that this class was impossible, so I went into school with my mind set on switching out immediately. Alternatively, I decided to try it out and, to my surprise, I actually…

    Nursing programs like the one offered here at Breckenridge, are designed to prepare and educate nursing students like myself to become well-trained Registered Nurses (RN). Before I can become an RN, I will be required to complete the rigorous program set forth by Breckinridge. Compared to any other training I have received in the past, my nursing student success relies upon not only my ability to adapt and overcome various situations presented but also on adopting good study habits. According to an article by American Nurse Today (2010) “Nursing school can cause a tremendous amount of stress, which may lead some students to drop out. Dropout rates for community colleges can range from 18% to 20%” (para. 1).…

    The widely publicized nursing shortage is creating an influx into the nursing profession. The nursing shortage continues as there are not enough nurses to care for aging populations. Young adults graduating from high school and those seeking a career change are choosing nursing. As students matriculate into nurse education programs at an increasing rate, there are not enough nursing faculty to ensure the continued competency of the nursing profession. Leong and Clutter (2015) reported complaints by nurses and clinical preceptors noting students were not performing well, with some requiring remediation.…

I write this appeal letter to explain the cause and ask you to please consider reinstating me. I wish to state that my poor grades are not due to low ability or not being able to retain the material. Neither was it procrastination to study.…

    Brief Reflection I had the most contact with the first two patients whose case files I submitted on the 16th of February and the 16th of March. Both of these patients were in the chemical dependency group and were in the psychoeducation and process groups in which I facilitate. I had an opportunity to get to develop a therapeutic relationship with them both which helped me with their case files submissions. They were both in the chemical dependency 28-day program.…

    Last year, for the first time my high school created a ninety-minute class at the end of the day. This change completely transformed my academic experience for the better. This is because the longer block allowed me to learn in a more experiential and hands on way. It was suddenly possible to visit a museum, have more in depth conversations, and learn from my peers. I believe that I thrive in this type of environment, where the focus is on depth rather than memorization, because I love not just to accept things as true, but rather to challenge and analyze why things are important and what they mean.…

    As an incoming student to this college, I was overwhelmed with an immense amount of fear and anxiety. With 2 sciences and a history already on my schedule, the thought of a freshman symposium was almost too much, especially considering I knew nothing about what a class called Secret Communications would entail. I had absolutely no idea what would be expected of me, and I feared that this class would simply be another complex seminar with a rigid criteria and little room for creativity or self-expression, which I’d desperately hoped for in attending this specific college. However, I instantly realized that my negative preconceptions of this class were completely false. From the very first class, Professor Kilic-Bahi made it clear that our unique opinions mattered, and that any ideas we had would be incorporated into the class.…

    The Awakening Reflection

    • 1335 Words
    • 6 Pages

    Kate Chopin’s The Awakening is a book about one woman, Edna Pontellier, and about every woman in her society. Though it is not in itself a book of feminist teachings, its purpose was to enlighten---and hopefully awaken---its female readers to their selves and their humanity by showing the awakening of one such woman. Presumably, her intended audience was young to middle-aged women, both married and single, who were interested in love stories, art, scandals, or social analysis. As a young, single woman interested in social analysis books, I found The Awakening to be a very quietly intense book that I saw much of myself in.…

    Nursing, from the perspective of a first-year nursing student, is a profession that is underestimated. Nurses are the backbone of all health care facilities; without them, quality of care would greatly decrease. Through the influence of maternal figures in my family, along with an inherent interest in health care and a strong desire to care for others, I was drawn to the profession of nursing. However, a nurse requires more than merely an interest and the desire to care for others. During my first few months as a nursing student, my understanding of nursing, or lack thereof has come to light.…
