Description
The portfolio I have put together is a collection of various pieces that I have composed throughout my four years at Duquesne. Each of these have great importance to me and all together the collection reflects my values and interests in the nursing field. These pieces act to show how throughout my time in the nursing program I was redefining my values and growing from my experiences. From the very beginning of nursing school my professors challenged me to compose my own personal philosophy of nursing. Over the course of the four years, I was interested in various fields of nursing and did my own research on them to determine what was best for me. However, the various opportunities provided by the nursing program ultimately guided me to discover my passion for critical care nursing and establish what my beliefs in this field are. It is my hope that these pieces serve to show that my time as a nursing student at Duquense was not only a time of learning, but a time of transformation in discovering myself.
