The Capstone project has really helped and made me use all aspects of the project. It made me use critical thinking by making me work, do research on a topic. Also with being with my mentor she really made me think about my life choices and whether the nursing field was for me. Although i was interested in the nursing field beforehand, i dont think its for me. Maybe as a backup option, but not as my primary goal/career. Communication, this project has really helped me out with my communication skills. I was always a shy person, but meeting a stranger and asking them to be my mentor and spending 20+ hours with them, it has really helped me with my communication. As for collaboration, i think the fact that me and my mentor met for 20+ hours is a collaboration.I used creativity in the capstone by thinking of a different form of nursing and trying to find the importance of what they do.
I think i gained a lot from this capstone. I learned that this nursing isnt something im interested in at the moment but could be a fallback option. Socially i learned how to interact better with people, as i said im a very shy guy that just needs to get broken out of his shell, and i think this project has really helped me in that category. Intellectually i also gained a lot. I learned more about critical care nursing and what they do. Also learned a lot more about medicines such as OTC drugs and alternative medicines. This project has helped in a bunch of ways.
Some of the challenges i faced with this project has been the time. Time is a big factor especially senior year. Youre stressing out about senior project, you have senior ball, you have to meet with your mentor. Its been a really tough time trying to fit it all into my schedule. I overcame it by just staying focused, cutting out some of the unnecessary things in my schedule and made time for the project.
