Module 1: Testing and Remediation Reflection

This module provided helpful tips and strategies for test taking. Developing these skills is crucial for success in future exams and the NCLEX. My biggest takeaway from this module was the importance of critical reading and focusing on key words. It can be easy to read through a question quickly and miss important information. By carefully reading each question and its options, then highlighting key phrases, this will help you focus on what each question is presenting. This ensures that nothing in the question is missed and the best answer is given. These skills will help me improve my critical reading and test taking skills in the future.

Module 2: Nursing Concepts Reflection

My biggest takeaway from module 2 was the use of evidence based practice and the importance of leadership. Evidence based practice promotes optimum care of patients, provides different client care options, and validates the effectiveness of nursing interventions. Using EBP in my future will help me give the best possible care to my clients. Also, leadership is important in nursing. Being a leader involves being honest, trustworthy, a good communicator/listener, positive, confident, and persistent. These qualities will not only help me in being a good nurse but it will help my clients and co-workers around me.

Module 3: Priority Setting Framework

My biggest takeaway from this module was the importance of safety and risk reduction. Identifying the safety risks of the client is a crucial part of nursing. There are two different types of risks. External risks are in the client’s environment and internal risks are laboratory values/vital signs outside expected reference range. Assessing these risks is vital to the well being of your patient and makes you a better nurse.

Module 4: Knowledge and Clinical Judgement

Pharmacology related nursing interventions was my biggest takeaway from this module. Administering drugs and evaluating patients based on the drugs you give is a huge part of nursing. Knowing what to do when drugs react negatively can be the difference between life and death in some instances. Also, as pharmacology relates to nursing, educating the client on proper drug use is very important to your patients well being. Teaching them certain drugs and foods to avoid is an essential part of the process. Lastly, promoting client adherence is important to making sure your patient understands why they need to receive treatment because it is always the client that comes first.
