The modules that were completed within the past two weeks were based on testing/remediation and nursing concepts. Here we will discuss the importance of the modules, as well as their relevance to nursing school.

Testing and remediation was a module that was designed specifically for the purpose on how to prepare for tests, as well as testing strategies. It based its teachings on what to do prior to the test, during the test, and finally post test outcomes. In this module I learned how to use calming methods during an exam so that I give myself the largest opportunity to succeed. Another example of something that I learned was what methods to use when I don’t exactly know that answer to a specific question. The module gave proper information on how to eliminate questions that are completely irrelevant in order to distinguish which answer may be correct. This content relates to my education because I am consistently taking exams throughout the course of 4 years. Therefore, it is highly important that I learn the optimal techniques in how to properly taken exams. My new understanding of this content will affect my nursing career because it is going to help me succeed in nursing school, as well as pass my NCLEX exam in the coming years. Once I pass that test, I will be on my way towards my nursing license. Therefore, this module was crucial for my college career.

Nursing concepts was a module that was based on the primary information that all nurses need to use throughout their career. Something that I learned was the nursing process. This includes the steps that a nurse must use in order to gather information from their patient, and seek treatment from that information. I also learned about how to incorporate leadership, safety, education, and professionalism all within a singular profession. This shows me how complex the nursing profession can be, but it also shows me the importance that especially shown in patient-centered care. This content relates to my education because it shows the building blocks on what expectations there are for nurses. It shows me what level I should be at now in demonstrating my nursing skills, as well as how I should be performing at the end of my college career. My new understanding of this content will affect my nursing career because these are the building blocks to how I will be performing once I become a nurse. Therefore, this information will be used very regularly throughout my career, and will also be used throughout college as well.

In conclusion, these modules were essential for beginning nurses. I found the modules to be very eye opening, and look forward to continue taking modules to better my advancement as a student nurse.
