Self-Reflection Besides being a prerequisite course for me to graduate, the course is significantly enhancing my communication and information literacy. I have greatly improved my comprehension of written and oral communication and the ability to create literature that is appropriate for a variety of audiences, purposes, and subjects.

Medication Errors Leadership Project Abstract 150 Improving medication safety has been the primary goal of the healthcare system, especially in nursing home facilities. However, medication errors continue to cripple the provision of quality care and calling for close attention to how the issue can be addressed to promote patient safety and improve the quality of practices within healthcare institutions.  This paper thus set out to discuss the problem of medication errors and how it affects the nurses and medical institutions, along with my plan determining the right course of action that should be taken in a nursing home, where I work as a vent unit nurse, to reduce the prevalence of medical errors. The identified solution is the implementation of electronic health records (EHR) in the healthcare institution. This will be achieved by creating a training program that will teach the nurse practitioners in the nursing home on the effect of medical errors, the significance of incorporating the EHR system, and how to use it in reducing care. The paper will thus review recent scholarly articles and develop a training…

Psychosocial Conflicts Personality development changes depending on how a person is able to handle the various conflicts they face while growing up. Navigating through various conflicts is difficult given that one has to develop individual personalities, and this may change depending on the challenges they face. Even though I have successfully been able to overcome conflicts related to the industry versus inferiority, there are some cases where I still seek approval from others, especially in the learning process. Once I am able to accomplish the goals that I have set, I will be able to develop more, and this will bring in personal satisfaction. However, by overcoming various challenges, I now understand who I am and what I need to do to succeed in the long run. Over the years, I have been able to navigate through psychosocial conflicts in my life. The conflicts that I have been able navigate through trust versus mistrust, autonomy versus shame, initiative versus guilt, but I am in the process of industry versus inferiority, and identity versus role confusion. Therefore, there are still some…

  Admission Essay             I could not let myself walk across a stage full of people and attended by celebrities from all walks of life a few years from the time I joined my first year in high school just to receive my high school diploma alone without any additional certificate. Because I knew I was supposed to look back when I will have graduated in high school and started a new life somewhere to think of what I achieved not only in academics but also in other activities. But I was not talented in games, my big dilemma. I knew how extracurricular activities were beneficial to students when my sister got a scholarship just because she was good in athletics. Although I was not good in field games, I knew that I could fit somewhere. And truly I discovered that “somewhere” when I joined the school choir as a second year student. Singing became my passion indeed. I have participated in singing in different church choirs for the past two years and for sure, I have realized much about…
