What are my strengths at the end of this semester?
My strengths include knowing my limitations and asking for help when topics are unclear. For example, while feeding a client, I was unsure about how the client prefers to be fed, so I turned to the Cawthra Gardens staff for clarification. Another strength of mine is my willingness to learn. I am lacking in many nursing skills. However, my clinical teacher and the staff have taught me so much that every week I become a little more confident in my nursing skills.
What are my areas of development at the end of this semester?
I need to expand my knowledge base. I sometimes lack the ability to apply theoretical concepts into the clinical setting. I can improve myself by reinforcing theoretical concepts during study time. Also, I need to calm down when I am in the presence of clients. Oftentimes, I am so worried about making mistakes, which interferes with my learning.
