Watching the movie NURSES If Florence Could See Us Now made me realize how important nurses are to the population and the impact we make. I enjoyed this movie and felt connected to what the speakers were saying. I cannot say I learned anything from this movie but rather it was a movie that I felt connected to, and became emotional to in some scenes. It felt wonderful to hear the impact we make in even the simplest of matters and how much of a personal experience our job is.
In preparing for an interview to set myself apart from other applicants, I plan to show my true self and make sure they know my beneficial aspects to their floor/unit. I will most definitely research the organization’s missions and practice models to ensure that I resonate with their beliefs. In discussing my clinical experiences I will go in depth on the hours I have performed and the floors I have participated on. I also would add my CNA work experience and, because I want to specialize in oncology, to benefit myself more, I will discuss my position as a CNA on Maine Medical’s Oncology Unit. A major challenge I have is having confidence in myself. I am extremely hard on myself and I let it show through my work occasionally. I take things very personal and to heart which can make me emotional. To try and address this I set little, reasonable, goals for myself and when something goes wrong or not how I planned I talk myself through it.
