Reflective Journal Week 9

 1. What did you actually learned from the unit.

I learned that I like organization, it really helps me succeed in most areas of life. 

2. Discuss your feelings/experiences from the team activities? Did it change your opinion on the subject? If so, how? If not, why?

We all struggled a bit with the disorganization of the assignment involved, none of us knew exactly what we were supposed to do but maybe that was the point (?). I just felt like we needed more information in order to staff appropriately, we weren't even sure how may employees we were staffing and just made it up on our own. It did not change my opinion, I thought staffing would be hard before and I still think that is the case.

3. How you will utilize the information learned in your nursing practice.

I will have more compassion than I already have towards the nurses who create the schedule on my unit. We have been understaffed and we are at capacity lately, so that has been a challenge. 

4. You personal feelings about the material covered.

I feel as though I expressed my opinion in all answers for the questions so far. These questions are a bit generic and sometimes they just don't relate well. 

With all of that said, I had A LOT of fun printing out my nursing license, my ASN diploma and some random certificates that I have accomplished. Everything is online now and most organizations that require a copy of these types of information/documents can either look it up online themselves to verify it or they ask you to send a copy by email (or another platform). For me, it was so rewarding and fun to print them out and hold a copy of them in my hands, maybe it is because I am old and a paper copy of important documents is what was required when I was growing up, I dont know, but I really enjoyed it! I felt very accomplished when I saw the paper copy printed out, held it in my hands and placed it in my portfolio. I guess the moral here is that as much as I bellyache about stuff, I would most likely not have ever printed them out if this assignment was not required of me, it is just sadly not something that crossed my mind until now.
