Mid Semester Self Evaluation

Mid Semester Self Evaluation

Course Objectives:
1. Communicate effectively, both verbally and in writing, with individuals, groups and health care providers.
I feel I have used effective communication skills with my preceptor in progressing with my change project and also with the faculty in presenting the idea, allowing discussion and ideas from within.

2. Discuss current trends and issues in the nursing profession.
I feel I have not only addressed this issue my change paper, but to the faculty as well. After much review with Dr. Pape, information was gathered to present to the faculty regarding the college's requirements for passing the math exam. Our facility has not accepted the "norm" for their requirements, which is 3 attempts and must pass with 100%. This dilemma is being incorporated into my change project.

Personal Objectives:
1. Function as a student advocate through collaboration with instructors.
I feel that I am acting as a student advocate in facilitating this online program. I am also encouraging the students to participate in the evaluation process to help facilitate the program to their learning requests.

2. Develop familiarity with and demonstrate understanding of Lewin's Theory of Change.
I have incorporated the levels of Lewin's Theory of change into my change paper.

Overall review of Personal Objectives:
At this point in the semester, I feel I have partially met my personal objectives. By initiating the process of change I feel I am acting as a student advocate but I will not feel satisified until the change is fully implemented and is place. By incorporating the Lewin's Change Theory into my paper, I feel I have developed a better understanding of the process.

One way these have fostered your growth as a professional nurse:
By meeting the objectives listed above and working on the "change project" with in my facility, I feel I have grown professionally as a nurse to become a better student advocate and mentor. Now when students ask the difference in an ADN and BSN, I truley understand the difference. I have also found many of the ADN students becoming more inquisitive about furthering their education even to the masters level. To me this is very exciting.
