After being out for quite a while, returning back meant many changes for me and my current transition. There are a lot of things I need to do get an “A”. Improving my communication skills and enhancing my organization skills. It will take a lot of hard work to accomplish these 3 goals. These accomplishments will help greatly in this English class and also in my future to becoming an RN. The goals I have set for myself mean a lot to me, and I will work hard this year to achieve them. The three goals I have set for myself are very important to my future as a nurse manager and a leader in the medical field. An “A” in this class will give me the confidence to move forward with the other goals that will need to be accomplished in the years to come, The things I need to do in this class to accomplish this goal are to make better grades on my assignments. I need to allow more time for myself and a place to study and concentrate, so I do not have to rush to get the assignments completed. I need to have all my work about assignments proofread and peer edited. I need to go to the writing center at least two days a week. Dr Campbell is also available if I do not understand an assignment or just need some extra advice to make my essay better. These things will help me do a better job on my assignments, so I can make an “A” in this class. The next thing I need to do is work on improving my communication skills, so I can be a more effective speaker and leader in the workplace. I know having better communication skills will help me be better at resolving differences, building trust and respect, and with problem solving skills. All of these issues are important in the workplace. Improving my communication skills will also help

    As long as I can remember I have always loved to learn new things. When I began my journey back in 2005 to pursue a degree I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted to focus on. What I found amazing was shortly after starting college my love for learning grew exponentially. Today nearly 10 years later I am close to realizing my goal of earning a bachelor’s degree in nursing. When I reflect on how much I have learned over this past year I am so grateful for the learning opportunities that the Bachelors of Science in Nursing at Western Governor University has brought to my life and to my career as a Registered Nurse. The artifacts in my portfolio are the evidence that my program of study has prepared me to be proficient in such areas of professional nursing as, patient safety, nursing research, evidence-base practice, quality of care, effective leadership, and community health. My Leadership Practicum enabled me to discover a healthcare concern on the unit that I work on. In collaboration with team members, we were able to come up with successful solutions that were supported by evidence based research. My Community Health and Population Practicum course required me to broaden my communication skills with others. This course brought me the knowledge and experience that I needed to be proficient in communicating with patients, colleagues, and professionals in the community.…

This skill has been something I have been working on last year but I still need major improvement to prioritize like a competent nurse. To reach this goal I will rationalize what tasks need to be done with my patient and how important they are even if some of the tasks are not life threatening. My professors can help me reach this goal by continuing to give me practice examples of prioritization and descriptions of why that task needs to be prioritized higher than…

    Everyone in the world has a journey to find their passion. Whether it be short, long, thought-out or impulsive, people may find out what career field they'd like to join. Once one discovers their passion and what career path to follow, they are then made to pursue a degree that will help them excel. For some it took only moments to decide their fate; it takes some only a simple decision towards what path they want to take. It took me years of researching, exploring and see-sawing between numerous careers and different degrees to pursue. There were a few things I knew from the beginning along with a few things I picked up along the way that I wanted to do. I've always known I've wanted a degree from the beginning, but I started wanting a degree thinking it'd make me more money than average; I've learned since then it's almost the only way to get a decent job in this day and age. Now that I'm older, I finally decided my future as far as the degree I want and what I'd like to do with it. I've also decided how and where I'm going to obtain my degree. There are so many ways to go to college and get a degree; I could have gone to an online school, a 4 year university, a community college or even a mixture of all. With all the different choices in the world, it's a hard decision to make.…

    The reason that I chose to attend Onondaga Community College is that I want to better myself by receiving a furthered education at a college level and also I have an interest in the nursing at this college. The planning process that I went through was simple, but time consuming. First I was accepted into the college, then I was left with the obvious choice of attending or not. Deciding to attend college here opened up many tasks that I needed to accomplish, such as finding housing, loans, financial aid, and selecting the classes that are necessary to allow me to achieve my goals. I have recently graduated from high school, and my educational background is still fresh in my mind and knows how to accomplish my goals. Previously I held a position as a certified nursing assistant at a nursing home and the responsibilities of holding a job prepared me for what the “real” world is going to be like when I go to college. I have a pretty basic schedule this semester, it is not too demanding so I have learned to manage my classes and study times well. I am taking HEA – 106 with Professor Jenkins, RDG – 093 with Professor Bianchi, RDG- 093L with Professor Irwin, MAT- 114 with Professor DeFazio and ENG -099 with Professor Starkweather. So far my first impression of the first semester has been a little overwhelming at the amount of work they give you to accomplish in the small amount of time. I am a little bit worried about my algebra course that I am in because I always found math a major struggle for me. I feel that commitment is the main key to success in college and those who are not committed will not be able to achieve their goals and become successful.…
