Nursing school

in which they fall in love with and want to spend their career in. However, for me it just rather found me. After nursing school, I had my first child and decided to stay at home with him for about a year. Since, I waited and it was during a time in which anyone was lucky to find a job, I ended up in what I thought was just going to be a start to something “better”. Geriatric nursing, was something I never thought that I was going to stay in for over five years, but it just grew on me.…

Despite the fact that my ultimate goal in college is to attend nursing school, I still thoroughly enjoy activities that involve speech and debate. My school is small, but still offers a wide variety of debate clubs and competitions. I have participated in several, but the one that has had the most influence on me is mock trial. Mock trial is a competition in which students are given a fabricated case complete with characters and evidence. The case is split into teams of plaintiff and defendant.…

Throughout my life in school, deciding on a major and career choice was a constant struggle for me. For example, during my high school years, I concocted dreams of becoming a civil engineer, theoretical physicist, marine biologist, and a political scientist. Deep inside of myself, I knew that although these careers interested me, they do not reflect my character or my passions. This year, which is my senior year, all of my confusion about my future vanished. It was as if this year was a turning…

(that’s another story). My life consisted of nursing school, and work. So, there was really no time to hang out. When my homegirl called me up, initially I was like “nah” because I just wanted to stay in the house. She got to running her mouth, talking about how all I was going to do was watch movies and sleep. She claimed that I need to find a man to occupy my time. And like usual I counter with the fact that I don’t need a man, I need to stay focused on school. Just for her to jump in, and…

Nursing school is a door that opens many great opportunities and experiences in life. Some of those experiences make you fall in love with nursing all over again and others test your limits. No matter the circumstances, one will always get something out of each experience. The Operating Room (OR) observational day provided to us during third semester is a good example of a great learning experience. Purpose As my day started on Thursday, I couldn’t help, but feel nervous. I remembered the time…

a whole. If you get a bad grade it then lowers you chance to get a good grade in the class, in which can lower your GPA. In my nursing curriculum you have to maintain a certain GPA to stay in the nursing program. Thinking about all the hard work I put in to get into this program drives me to get the best possible grades. I fear that I could get kicked out of the nursing program, and I experience anger and sadness towards myself if I don’t receive satisfactory grades. When I think of exam grades…

Historical perspectives. Teaching and excellence in nursing education has been a personal and evolving process, continually redefined and developed over my last 24 years in nursing education. Various experiences in nursing and higher education, and academic experiences in and outside the classroom, and in regional, state, and national leadership roles, have broadened my realization and understanding of the essential values that nurse educators hold, defined my teaching philosophy today, and…

as a nurse. Her first formal educational experience was at the New York training school for nurses at Bellevue Hospital (Wolf, 20XX). Isabel Robb was a prime example of a professional woman during her era. Her prestigious role as a teacher and a nurse became very evident early in her career. She was born a leader and role model for those nurses who strived to become effective in implementing change in the nursing profession. Isabel Hampton Robb has been recognized as the single-most…

The QSEN initiative was first introduced during my basic nursing training as a means to summarize the quality and safety material presented throughout the program. It had not been fully integrated into the curriculum, due to its newness. However, after becoming more largely adopted among nursing schools, it became required knowledge for graduation. 2. Reflect on the QSEN project and the ANA Code of Ethics. Did you find similarities between the QSEN project and the ANA Code of Ethics? Reflect…
