Purpose of the Assignment<\/span>
<\/strong>This project provides the student with an opportunity to define his\/her philosophy of nursing in the early phases of education and professionalization.\u00a0 In the spirit of life-long learning inherent to the practice of nursing, the student will also explore and describe his\/her goals for higher level nursing education. As required for the Senior year portfolio, the student can use this project to look back and reflect upon the values, understandings, ambiguities, and personal experiences that have changed or held steadfast throughout his\/her undergraduate nursing education and their influence on the transition to the professional nurse role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Student Approach to the Assignment <\/span>
<\/strong>My approach to this assignment was to try to express what nursing meant to me, and how I hoped to impact others. I thought that showing through images the similarities there often are between a nurse and patient and using complementary colors to guide their train of thought, would demonstrate that I think the core of nursing is to connect with others and help them.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reason for the Inclusion of the Assignment in the Portfolio
<\/span><\/strong>I included this assignment in my portfolio because I thought that it was a great example of how I think, how creative I can be, and how nursing is defined for me. It\u2019s also a window into my mind in terms of patient care and I view each patient as a unique individual whom I can form a connection with and use that to provide optimal care for them. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Domain 2:<\/strong> Person-Centered Care
10. <\/strong>Demonstrates an awareness of cultural preferences and complementary modalities and their usefulness in promoting health. (Domains 2, 3) (2.2,2.3,2.4,3.4).<\/span>
-In the construction of this project I made it apparent that I understand the value of a patient’s personal views and beliefs and recognize how there\u2019s an ability to find a common ground between all my patients and myself, and how useful that connection is in establishing good patient outcomes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
