I am excited to see the light at the end of the tunnel! It has been three years of hard work and dedication. I can’t wait to be a nurse and start working. Nursing is such a rewarding career because you can feel good about yourself when you care for someone and make their day a good one.

In respect to this course, I enjoyed it a lot because it allowed me to think more critically. Also, I was able to see many of the medical conditions presented in the book in the actual clinical setting. This enabled me to remember the disease process better by having witnessed the disease. Also, I enjoyed the presentations of several of our guest’s speakers; they were all informative and gave real scenarios which allowed me to  learn the concepts better. For instance, the speaker on mechanical ventilation was great and I applied what he said on my clinical days. I was able to observe my patients who were on a mechanical ventilator and with a respiratory therapist I was able to review the settings of several of my patients. Moreover, this course was fun because it was structured a little different. We were able to blog homework assignments. I definitely recommend this course structure for future cohorts. Lastly, I enjoyed working on the voice thread project with my group. First time I used this format to present and I really enjoyed it and find it fun to learn this way!
