Personal Reflection: What did you gain from course?
In
this class, I learned more about using APA format for papers and
projects. I learned about what nursing informatics is and about the
application of technology in healthcare. I learned to look at healthcare
technologies from different perspectives.
Patient Teaching Example
For
this class, I prepared a patient education brochure about safe sex. I
also prepared a personal nursing care map with links for additional
information about an assigned "made-up" patient.
