I am most excited about graduating, starting my career as a nurse, and learning so many new things. I hope to work in the OR as I had my preceptorship there and I loved it. One thing I am anxious about when I start working is the transition and feeling like I have no idea what I’m doing, but I am sure I will feel more comfortable as time goes on. Usually, I plan my weekly studying schedule by writing all my assignments in my planner and making a checklist of other things I have to do like reading for class and writing notes/outlines for class. One way my friends and I celebrate progress is going out to eat after finishing an exam, which I find is a good way for me to relax.

            I learned more about my learning style through the nurse logic modules and figured out that I am more of a tactile learner. Seeing things out and being able to repeat and walk through them is very helpful for me. In the Nursing Concepts module, I learned about the three domains of learning which include cognitive, affective, and psychomotor which involves practicing skills. In the priority setting frameworks module I learned about the different nursing frameworks. ABC, least restrictive/least invasive, and survival potential are some of the frameworks that I have used before. In the testing and remediation module I learned about different types of questions that would be on the NCLEX. This was very helpful for me as they showed examples of the questions as well.
