Blog 5: Project Reflection and Working EQ

The Pentagon: 
(1) Positive Statement: What positive thing happen as a result of what you have completed so far?
     I'm actually really excited about delving deeper into the world of nursing. Every step I take in the senior project makes me realize how much I am interested in the topic I chose. I love how it's a busy hands on job and I won't have to sit at a desk all day. Nursing has now become my top choice for a future career and I can't wait to learn all about it!

(2) EQ Content:  
     My interview with Deza Avelino allowed me to get a better understanding of what it means to be a nurse. She told me her first hand experiences and helped me see the job through her eyes. She told me about the harsh realities of the job as well. Nursing is a serious profession that can be very stressful at times. However, the satisfaction from helping people and knowing that she can make a positive impact on their lives is worth it for her.

(3) What has worked for you so far in the senior project?
     Getting a head start on what needs to be accomplished for my senior project has been beneficial. I got into a Citrus College class on Nursing which will help me fulfill my first Individual Component.

(4) What hasn't worked so far?  
     I haven't been able to get in contact with a mentor so far. Over the summer I had tried to contact several hospitals in my area for volunteering opportunities with no luck. I decided to go to the San Dimas Community Hospital and they gave me an application that I've filled out and will hopefully be contacted soon.

(5) Finding Value:  
  •  What is a potential question you would like to study this year?                              How can a nurse provide the best quality patient care?
  •  What do you plan to do for mentorship?                                                                       I plan on mentoring at San Dimas Community Hospital. I currently do not have a mentor. My mother works in the lab at the hospital and can help me find a mentor there.
