BSN C493 Portfolio Assignment 2021.

BSN C493 Portfolio Assignment 2021. Professional Mission Statement Being a nurse was always a goal of mine, and it was a dream come true to be able to achieve that goal finally. I started as a new graduate on a step-down intensive care unit. I learned many things while caring for neurological, cardiac, trauma patients, and other acute illnesses. Being a nurse is a gratifying job, but I knew that I wanted to advance further in my education to provide better patient care and have a more significant knowledge base. Soon after I finished my ADN, I knew that I wanted to pursue my Bachelors of Science in Nursing. A bachelor's degree would make me the first person in my family to achieve this goal and open up more opportunities for me as a nurse advancing in my career. Working through my BSN has shown me how to study effectively and the type of study environment I need to succeed while also having a great support system. I want to be the best version of myself that I can be, not only for myself but for my daughter. I want to be someone she looks up to and want her to pursue whatever makes her happy regardless of how hard it may be at times, and that starts with pursuing my dreams. As I grow closer to achieving my BSN, I have set my sights on pursuing my MSN with a concentration in Family Nurse Practitioner. I will provide quality care to maintain health and wellness in the community by providing compassion, respect, and keeping up with the most current evidence-based practice information. I feel it's important to educate my patients while building those trusting relationships to provide exceptional patient care. Midlevel providers have become a vital part of healthcare today and truly make a difference in patient outcomes each day. This mission statement will remind me that the most rewarding things in life are often the hardest. Getting my BSN has been a challenging time regarding the pandemic, having a baby, and working. I know that furthering my education will have hard times, but with hardships comes personal growth. I want to continue to evolve personally and professionally and hope to impact the community positively. 2) Professional Summary My portfolio is a combination of my most excellent works through the WGU RN-BSN program as a healthcare professional by showing competency and professional growth. A2A) Portfolio Representation of a Learner & Healthcare Professional Throughout my time here at WGU, I have learned a few things about the type of learner and healthcare professional I am. I am resilient when it comes to things that I want to accomplish. I have had setbacks in my education, which has never stopped me from getting back up and trying again. That was no different when it came to some of my assignments. A few times, I had papers sent back for revisions due to lack of information or support in some areas, and it's discouraging at times, but after resubmitting and passing, it shows that hard work pays off. I've also learned through some of my assignments how vital communication is and how ethics is a huge part of nursing care. In C820 Professional Communication and Leadership: Task 3, I was able to show how I have grown in regards to my communication skills. Before this program, I didn't realize that some of my actions were causing me to have conversations that were described as cycles of waste. After learning how to adjust my reactions and emotions while taking a step back has allowed me to grow as a professional nurse regarding my communication skills. Communication will always be an essential aspect of nursing. Whether that means speaking with providers regarding patient care or communicating with patients about disease education, this class has allowed me to grow. C304 – Professional Roles and Values: Task 2 allowed me to explore my
