A: Professional mission statement and summaryA1:
Creating a professional mission statement
To be a compassionate nurse who strives to grow and learn every day to make health carefor her
patients and the medical professionals better and more efficient.
A1a: How the mission will guide my nursing career
My personal mission statement will help me go towards the direction of continuing my education.
This also means that I utilize my time reading evidence based research and help my facility implement
better practices that help both the staff and the patients. My mission will also help and motivate me when I
am feeling stressed and burned out from work. It will help pick meup and motivate me to get back in the
field.
A2: Professional summary
A2a: How artifacts represent me as a learner and a healthcare professional
There are many artifacts I completed during this course that represent me as a learner and
healthcare professional. In C349 (Health Assessment), I was a learner because I learned some
assessment skills that I did not learn properly before and some skills that were not required at my work. By
learning those new assessment skills, I broadened my education to help me go forwardin my job. It
represents me as a healthcare professional as well because when I was doing the head to toe health
assessment on my simulated patient Tina, I showed my professional skills and applied my knowledge of
the systems to ask her the right questions to understand all her health problems.
In the course C820 (Professional Leadership and Communication for Healthcare), Ilearned about
bio-reactions. I also self-reflected and observed my own bio-reactions and
, emotions I feel when I go through those bio-reactions. This represented me as a learner because
becoming aware of oneself is also learning about oneself. Task 2 of C820 asked us to write aboutan
instance where I had a disagreement which caused a bio-reaction. This task represented me asa health
care professional because I had the disagreement at work and I handled the situation as a health care
professional.
A2b: How artifacts represent my professional strengths
In course C361 (Evidence Based Practice and Applied Nursing Research), I identified the PICO
components of a clinical problem and then developed an Evidence Based Practice questionon it. I then
conducted an evidence appraisal through research based and non-research based articles. The ability to
do that represents my professional strengths. In course C304 (Professional Roles and Values), I applied my
clinical and professional experiences to the sections, quality and safety, evidence-based practice, applied
leadership, and community and population health, in my professional portfolio.
A2c: Challenges I encountered during the program
I encountered many challenges throughout my program. In the beginning, I expected myself to
graduate a semester earlier, however, I did not calculate the hindrances caused by workand family life into
my expectations. The first challenge was that I was newly married and was facing some personal problems
with family at the time. It delayed my course progression a lot and I could barely give any time to my
courses. The second challenge I faced was my work hours. I was working a lot of hours and could not
spend enough time on my courses as I felt extremely exhausted after work. Third challenge I faced was my
pregnancy. My pregnancy was not pleasant and pregnancy and working at the same time took a toll on my
physical and mental health.
