    Capstone Reflection As I reflect on the past two years of the education that I have participated in, I am excited about the conclusion and completion of my Bachelor of Nursing Science (BSN) degree. I have long anticipated completing my BSN. Twenty plus years ago I was accepted into the University of Washington nursing program, but was positioned as third on the waitlist. Unfortunately, I did not move off the waitlist to start in that BSN program.…

    Dr. and fellow Colleagues: For myself it has been a long road, but I can honestly said that over these past ten weeks I start to realized what does a Nurse Practitioner responsibility will be when I take over my own patient load. I gave thank you to my preceptor in this class since he spends many hours explaining what my role will be in near future. I feel scare, but I had the same feeling when I finish my first nursing education as Register Nurse. I honestly believe that I met the objectives for this class and look forward to passing my boards.…

    The bio-psycho-social model is the one that I relate to the most. I have witnessed the power of prayer at work in healing along with laughter and a positive outlook at work in the healing of individuals. Furthermore, how a person’s beliefs can impact their mental, physical and emotional health. In my personal nursing practice I use a mindful approach.…

    Dr. Kirkpatrick’s zeal and inspirational words tell me to push myself and to never pass up opportunities to grow in my abilities. This includes the possibility of perhaps going to get my masters in nursing eventually or even choosing a specialty. The upperclassmen shared their enthusiasm and showed me how much I have to look forward to in the next four years. This organization that I have joined can help me in many ways. It can help me socially, finding people with similar interests who share the same excitement for helping others and growing into the best nurse possible.…

    Joining the New Visions program was one of the wisest decisions I have made. When nurses that I shadow at Unity Hospital express how jealous they are that they didn’t have a program like this when they were in high school, it reminds me to take advantage of this opportunity that not every student receives. I am confident that when I graduate college, I will be able to recollect this program, and how it led me to be successful. I will reminisce about the long hours dedicated to each college-level assignment in determination to receive a grade in the high 90’s, or that moment when I witnessed a five pound baby be born from a cesarean delivery, or even when I stood next to the operating table observing a total knee replacement surgery, while the surgeon and nurses took the time to teach me about what they were doing--an opportunity that not even college nursing students were able to see. Every assignment I completed, conversation I had, and person I met, has transformed me into a more educated and open minded student.…

    I also enjoyed this class too and reading your discussion responses and also for the other students. We surely learn a lot in the past 11 weeks.

Focusing on these two aspects, this essay is going to explore and analyse the extent of learning in the subject area of personal care and the links to other important factors of nursing.…
