Identify 3 “aha’s” as you have progressed through the program.

The first “aha” moment as I progressed through the program was “this is doable while working full time, married with three kids and school”. I was unsure if I had enough time to get it all done without falling apart. The class schedule was truly setup for the working professional. The classes are in five week intervals and if I needed a break then I could take time to regroup. The class coaches were easy to contact and help when needed.

The second “aha” moment as I progressed through the program was my research class. As I was taught how to take the time to research and analyze peer review articles, professional journals and finding clarity to what we find, we can decide how to implement evidenced based care into our daily practice.

The third “aha” moment as I progressed through the program was this course. Capstone has really made me sit down and think about the future of my career as a nurse. I mean I thought about it but having a comprehensive plan as to FNP or Nurse educator has been the two areas that I have zoomed in on and want to get more information about the whole process and how to get started and pursue. I have a timeframe and goals set to start in a few months. I am just waiting to hear back on acceptance into the program.

What are your thoughts now regarding the role of the professional nurse?

I have always had a high regard of the role of the professional nurse. My mother is a nurse and has been for the last 45 years, in Cardiac Thoracic ICU. She has always set an example for me to keep up with my education. She speaks about learning and growing as a professional nurse. She has taught me to attend workshops, seminars and classes to learn skills, changes in care and new equipment.

As I reflect back over the last year, I now view the role of professional nursing as a position of opportunity. As a professional nurse we have many ways to contribute to our profession. The roles vary from bedside nurse, supervisor, advance nurse practitioner and the list goes on. The research on the impact of the BSN on patient outcomes states, “ Increasing the number of BSN-prepared nurses or higher in hospital settings was associated with the reduction of 30-day mortality and failure to rescue”.

How will you use your role as BSN professional nurse in the future?

I am truly excited about obtaining my BSN degree. As the hospital is working toward magnet status for our location in Waxahachie, it is important for the nursing staff to have their bachelor’s degree. It is also seen as ability to handle supervisor and management roles. I look forward to gearing toward a supervisor role on the unit.
