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.

but a "B+" in the class. Other final exams were fairly easy. I got a 88 on Biology final, an "A" on Computer Systems

I, Flora Ajayi, was dismissed from the Nursing program at The College of New Jersey due to my performance in Principles of Microbiology (BIO 144) and Anatomy & Physiology II (BIO 142 ), which are major Nursing prerequisites. I take responsibility for my academic progressions and understand the consequences and rewards of the Academic realm. The study habits that allowed me to flourish in high school, for example, studying class notes and reviewing a week before the exam, simply did not work in college. This forced me into a state of panic, which led me not to do well in both science classes. Studying effectively in college is different than studying in high school due to the rigor of the course and my attempt to process on a higher academic level. My inability to succeed in the sciences during my spring semester, despite my early success, has allowed for both personal growth and self-reflection while repeating BIO 144 and BIO 142.

Conducting an interview with someone makes you see things in many different perspectives and in a new light. The person I interviewed saw nursing as a broader term that saw things in a different way even though she has just started. She knows that special people need to take roles in being a nurse. I interviewed my aunt, Ann Juknevicius. She is 30 years old and she has been a nurse for 2 years in Illinois now. Relatively she is a new nurse. One of the main reasons why I started the nursing program is because I look up to Annie a lot and she showed me so many different perspectives on how to look at people, different situations, and the way you handle things. I thought that it would be a great interview session to see if Annie’s expectations were the same as the nursing reality.

The final eventually came along and I was nervous but not as nervous as I was before. I walked out of Spanish 1 with an 80 which was far better than my 55 that I started my year with. Though I was there to learn Spanish; I walked out realizing that it isn’t always the student that’s at fault for not understanding a subject. The teacher plays a huge part in making sure the student will understand. With my teacher; I had a communication barrier that prevented me from understanding what she was talking about. So whenever a kid looks up to me for help I either do my best to explain it to them or refer them to someone

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.

Walking into my finals I felt unprepared, just like I do almost every time I take a test. However, this felt different, I didn't realize how at the time, but now I do. I didn't care about that final as much as I did previous exams. I had fallen out of love with my major if I was even ever in love with it to start, and I didn't really care. Furthermore, when I was told that I couldn't continue

This essay will discuss a clinical skill in which I have become competent in practicing as a student nurse.

Nursing can be a demanding career, but the benefits far much outweigh the challenges. Most importantly, it’s the rewards it offers by allowing an opportunity to make a difference in another person’s life through the provision of care when they need it. Just as Patricia Benner theorized in her book “Novice to Expert,” nursing encompasses both educational knowledge and extensive clinical experience acquired throughout one’s career. This far, I continue to acquire knowledge and clinical knowhow which will promote proper and efficient care to patients. Since I began practicing one year ago in a long-term healthcare facility, I have interacted with patients, families, physicians and other members of the healthcare team to coordinate patient’s care which has enabled me to gain confidence in myself. While I cannot deny that it was difficult to transition from a student to a licensed nurse, I learnt to overcome these challenges and focus on my strengths. Practicing as an LPN has provided a platform to learn and gain experience even though the duties and responsibilities are limited by the scope of practice.

As I near the finish with my journey with Aspen, I realize what I have achieved. I have improved my decision-making skills, attained knowledge in leadership and managerial skills. Also, I have improved my communication skills for leadership positions, increased knowledge in the organizations functioning, and increased knowledge in quality. Therefore, we will review some of the areas, which my goals were achieved.

Over the past three and a half years of undergraduate education, I have received a very comprehensive education that has prepared me to function as a professional nurse after graduation next week. I have appreciated and truly enjoyed taking courses both within and outside of the University of Southern Maine nursing curriculum, and don’t believe I am able to count the ways in which this education has challenged me to become an enhanced learner and well-rounded person. I have identified three courses that have brought me to the role I will now assume as a professional baccalaureate-prepared nurse: one of which is a core course; another, a non-nursing course; the last, a non-clinical nursing course,

I admit, I had a very challenging time last semester, and as a result my grades suffered. I don’t mean to make excuses for my poor performance in school but I would like to explain my circumstance. During my second semester of college I treated my classes like I did in high school thinking I could coast by and pass my classes, but when I noticed how poorly I was doing in class everything was already headed downhill. I started the second

Through my grades and persistence, I have proven that academic excellence is a pivotal part of my education. I believe that I have achieved outstanding academic achievement through my ongoing evolution as a student, my motivation to better myself, and my desire for success. From freshman year to junior year, I have evolved and changed in order to learn more effectively and perform better inside and outside of the classroom. The dynamics of college classes are far different from what I had experienced in high school. This required me to adapt to the higher level of thinking that was expected from me. Since freshman year of college, I have actively sought out new study methods in order to understand classroom material. I realized that simply memorizing the material for one test would not be beneficial to me in my future career of nursing, so I began to actively understand the material. Adapting to the higher level of education I have received in college has helped me become a more
