#feelininspired

To start off, I have to reflect on my skills that have developed throughout the semester and provide detailed responses concerning research, my profession, and my knowledge. 

WHAT Section: The nursing field happens to be a very competitive field, that requires you to achieve great excellence. Being able to conduct research on the “Diversity of Hispanics in Nursing” helped me to gain insight on the issues at hand. Only knowing the surface level of issues that may go on in the field, I was unaware of how much Hispanics and other minorities aren’t being given a fair advantage. These people are having difficult times making it into nursing programs or receiving jobs due to their ethnicity. Coordinating primary research (interview) helped me expand my social compass; as far as knowing a greater number of doctors/researchers. The literature review also helped me to expand my knowledge and learn from different perspectives. Being able to research at this level, helped me gain insight on things that I thought I never saw doing and it opened many doors to opportunities.

SO WHAT Section: The importance of what I am learning in this course is highly emphasized, because we are likely to use the components (rhetorical appeals, scholarly perspectives, primary research) we used to write an essay, analysis, or review when we hit the classes that correspond to our major. As a future graduate being able to explore the different aspects of my college education opens a whole new perspective and helps me in a sense to become more prepared for what’s to come. As a future professional, I am able to back up my knowledge with other information that I may have encountered and have more insight on what to expect, due to what I learn in previous classes. As I get closer to becoming a nurse, I will be able to make a change through knowing all this research/information. 

NOW WHAT Section: Now that I have more than enough knowledge based on the assignments that I have done and all the research I have conducted, I am able to apply what I know when I start to work. I am aware of the issues that Hispanic nurses might face and I can definitely figure what’s to come. As I continue to further my education later on in life, I can implement the changes if not any have been made still. I plan to make a difference in the field of nursing in order to help other Hispanic and minority nurses have a fair advantage. Change is good and can have an influence on the live’s of others.
