After remediating my medical-surgical adaptive assessment, I once again noticed that I was not taking enough time to go over the questions and the options presented to me. I also noticed that I had changed my answers quite frequently. In the future I will make sure I fully read both the question and options before I submit my answer. By the end of the semester I will not change my answers and take more time on the assessments in order…

Introduction             Throughout this semester I was able to watch different professions work with clients to get the best care possible to reach their treatment goals. I was able to see the good, bad, and ugly of nursing to see what I what kind of nurse I want to be and the kind that I don’t want anybody to be.

I chose this painting by Vanessa Michalak because I feel like it’s a good representation of what nurses go through. No matter what happens, chaotic or not nurses seem to have everything under control, even if it’s far from it. This painting shows that this work is hard, messy and things may even get out of hand. But, no matter what nurses will try their best to have everything under control. That means a lot to me because I want…
