ABOUT ME AND MY REFLECTIONS DURING THIS COURSE

Hi! I am Alfred Isaiah T. Herbolario from West Visayas State University College of Nursing. This will be my E-Portfolio and my last activity for my subject, Theoretical Foundations of Nursing. Nursing school is a very demanding and a very stressful course, and rightfully so! Since in the medical field, Handling human lives can be very risky if not trained and even the slightest mistakes can end up fatal. That is why no matter how hard and academically heavy it is, this is better than having an easy life. One such subject that will help master and to know what and how a nurse needs to do is this subject. From reading the various nursing theories, I as a student nurse can logically knowhow to essentially care for my patient.

This portfolio will contain a list of my major activities that I have worked on during both the Midterms and the Final Terms of this subject which includes my Essays, Quizzes, and our groups Theory Report.

A challenging, but nevertheless an intriguing activity, one that helped me better my skills in essay writing.

This was my one of my first challenging assignments during the early months of schooling here in WVSU College of Nursing. I have written multiple essays before during my high school days, but this was different.

Different meaning I was nervous how my teacher (Ma'am Rosana Grace Belo) would view and grade my writing. Normally when I write, its usually short and concise. But I (and maybe also some of my classmates) were concerned that the maximum number of words was 800 and there was no minimum. And because of that, I thought the stands were really high. So because of that, I tried to make it good as possible but after submitting I thought my grade would be very low. When I received my grade, I was surprised that it wasn't that bad. Couldve done better, but I was okay with it

I really remembered my 2nd essay because that was the time after my midterm exams. Overall I was also okay with it.

With all honesty, I was both glad and disappointed with how my quizzes turned out. Nursing school is academically challenging and because of that, time management is of the essence.

Although this scores are passing (which I am very thankful for, actually), in my standards, this isn't great in the long run and I could have done better. If I could have timed it well I could have reviewed and studied more efficiently.

Sometimes I get overwhelmed with how many things I have to do at once. And because of that, I tend to just blank out.

This can be seen even more clearly if I'm doing multiple activities at once and when I finish an assignment, I usually take a break. But unfortunately that break turns into procrastination and it ultimately results into cramming my studies.

This is just the beginning for me and I have much to learn.

One, if not, the most challenging and stressful activities that I have done in this subject.

In a sense, this caused me a lot of pressure, I'm actually goods with it since this activity (and other activities as well) will help me learn how to handle specific situations and events under pressure, since that's what nurses will have to do one day.

With this activity being grouped, I'm also fine with it since nurses have to work with each other and other staffs in order to help the client. However I feel a bit disappointed with myself again as I usually talk with my other group mates online. I talk with them face to face, but I really really have to learn how to communicate online. Its probably just me being shy, but that excuse is not justifiable and I have to adapt with my situations
