Reflection 1
4 March 2014
The topic I have chose for my senior project is registered nursing. One of the minor
problems I have is selecting my mentor. I want to choose a nurse who has been in this
career for a rather long time. I feel this would benefit me more than someone who has
only been a nurse for a short period of time. Another problem is deciding if I want to be
a specific type of registered nurse.
When I started my project, the only set back I may have had was choosing what I
wanted to do my project on. There are so many amazing career paths a person can
choose. A person has to have a strong sense of their self and what they expect out of
life. Whether they wish to have an easy path or if they wish to take the path that is more
difficult.
My research has taught me that I can do anything I set my mind to. I thought that
becoming a nurse would be more difficult and take a longer time in school to get my
degree. I now realize that if you are passionate enough about something that is doesn’t
matter how long it takes to achieve it. Also one must be positive that the path they
choose is what they want to do for years and years to come.
By the end of my project I expect to know exactly what the duties of a registered
nurse are and what I have to do to achieve my goal. I want to know the best course of
action I need to choose in becoming a nurse. I also expect to find out the right path if I
choose to go beyond being a registered nurse.
As of yet, I have not had to over come any obstacles for my project. At some point,
I’m sure that some will arise and at that time I will look at them from all angles and try
to choose the best possible way to overcome them. I just have to keep my outlook and
decisions positive as much as possible.
My advice to my underclassmen is to choose a topic that is most passionate to them.
