Reflective Writing I I was so thrilled to be accepted to Frontier Nursing University. I had this burning passion for over 13 years. To become a midwife, to become a part of one of the most rewarding professions. My chance was finally here! I had a sense that Frontier would be the right school for me. I had no idea when I set out for Frontier Bound; the sense of belonging I would feel after completion. During Frontier Bound; I connected with fellow students, interacted with faculty, learned more about the remarkable history of our school, and got a sense of what it really meant to be a Frontier University student.
I was nervous and excited about starting graduate school. I had been out of college for five years and knew that studying midwifery would be hard work. Upon arrival at Frontier the faculty and staff were so friendly. When I caught a glimpse of the blue and white balloons that read “Welcome Students” my heart filled with joy. I thought to myself “This is it, this is really happening”. At that moment I knew that my life was forever changed.
It was a delightful feeling to converse with many of my fellow students that share the same passion as myself.

The experience of meeting in person and connecting with each other gave the assurance that we are all in this together. We are the future of midwifery and family nursing. It is up to us to make a difference. Faculty is here to support and guide you on your journey. If we support one another and stay committed to our dream the only outcome is success. I am still nervous and extremely excited but I know that I have faculty and my peers that I can reach out to when there are difficult times or I have questions. I was right; my life is forever changed. If Mary Breckenridge can make a difference in rural Kentucky, I can certainly make a difference in the lives of many mothers and families in my community and
Going into the nursing program at Colorado Christian University means so much to me. I have been to a couple different colleges but at that time I wasn’t sure what I wanted to go for. Now, I know exactly what my goal is and what I want to achieve with school. I currently work as a Hospice CNA, I love my job. I will be the first out of my parents and mothers side of the family to graduate from a four year college. Also, being a nurse is something I’ve always dreamed about.

Witnessing the patience, strength, and compassionate attributions that nurses convey within their care was remarkable. Having the opportunity to make a positive difference in the life of another human being was a very overwhelming and humbling experience for me. Therefore, these encounters set the foundation towards my pursuit of a nursing career.
In “Reflective Writing and Revision Process”, Sandra Giles talks about the importance of reflective writing. She mentions that before she thought reflective writing was a waste of time and she just wrote her it to please her teacher, but it was not supposed to be like that. Reflective writing is supposed to talk about purpose of the essay, and then sets goals for revision. Through reflections, the students can change their audience if needed, make changes about the writing styles and the words choice, as well as figuring out the problems within their essays to improve them. The professors can also give feedbacks after reading their students’ memos and reflections. Throughout the whole essay, Giles includes several samples of reflective writings.
As my senior year here at Jersey College of Nursing moves quickly to its end, I reflect on how far I have come and what exactly my experience here at Jersey College of Nursing has meant to me.
As a course of life, people are born, raised, and go to school until the time comes where they need to make a decision about their career. In fact, most careers have one common theme among them---Help or give back to community and society. I for one have chosen a career in nursing to help people and give back to my community. Other than the fact that I want to help people, a career in nursing will expand my horizons, give me career opportunities, and job satisfaction.
A time in my life in which I have been successful is when I graduate from college. Even though this was my second degree I was going to receive, it was the next stepping stone to heighten my career in healthcare. It was an uneasy decision, but I was determined to achieve my Bachelor’s in Science in Healthcare Administration.
This essay will discuss a clinical skill in which I have become competent in practicing as a student nurse.
A little about myself, I am from Sugar Land, TX, and I am the first in my family to graduate from high school and attend a university. What led me to pursue a career in nursing was my youngest sister. She was born prematurely and with several health complications that would affect her for the rest of her life. She spent half of her childhood coming in and out from Texas Children’s Hospital, so I grew up surrounded by nurses. Witnessing those nurses aid my sister in attaining her
I did not know much about the health care field then but in that moment, I felt as if the health care system failed since the day he was born. This experience made me become eager to be a part of making a difference in the health care world. The lack of managed care caused the life of my nephew, and for this my passion for Science and the need of helping others only manifested because of my experience. My aspirations were to become a Registered Nurse and specialize in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. In my early college years, I also became a part of the UCLA team through an internship program. UCLA Care Extenders allowed me to gain valuable knowledge.As an intern, I did clinical rotations and was able to discover what takes place behind closed doors. However, what lead me into
Over the course of the conference, I was able to spend many hours at different workshops that gave me the information and tools that I need to integrate in my success as a student and future nurse. I plan to use the knowledge that I’ve gained to help jumpstart my career, goals and plans for the future.
Because of my experience with my family, and the kindness that I was given in my darkest moments, this has helped me make the decisions to pursue the Associates Nursing program at Ohio University Chillicothe. Through all the ambiguity in my life, I’ve learned
In this case study I will use Gibbs (1988) model of reflection to write a personal account of an abdominal examination carried out in general practice under the supervision of my mentor, utilising the skills taught during the module thus far.
Starting the Registered Nurse (RN) to Bachelorette of Science in Nursing (BSN) program at Jacksonville University in June 2015 was a simple transition for me. I had graduated an Associates Degree in Nursing (ADN) program in December 2014 and became a licensed RN in January 2015. I had just gotten hired for my first nursing position the month prior to the start of class and had not yet started working. I was very much still in student mode. While this makes it a bit easier to learn and process information in a classroom setting, I had no real world experience to help guide me. Through the knowledge I have gained as a student at Jacksonville University I have become a competent and well-rounded nurse. I am able to quickly problem solve and utilize critical thinking to identify and rectify issues. I have even put together, and will be presenting, and presentation about nursing practice for staff members at the facility where I work.
Two years ago, I was introduced to midwifery when my brother and his girlfriend were considering options for the impending birth of my nephew. Since that time, everything I’ve pursued and studied has helped bring me a step closer to becoming a midwife myself. I find pregnancy, childbirth, and babies to be the most fascinating things in the world. I spend heaps of time independently researching different aspects of childbirth. Last year, I wrote a research paper on the differences between home births and hospital births, and I’m currently working on a podcast about home births and the role midwives play. There's so much knowledge out there that I was oblivious to; once I figured out that pregnancy, birth, and even postpartum care need not be
The following reflection demonstrates my awareness for my own cultural influences. Through the cultural lenses of a student nurse and a tennis member. They have impacted the way I view others and is a guidance to my bicultural professional health care relationship.
