Strengths throughout my education in nursing

My education in nursing has been a highly challenging and also interesting journey.

Undoubtedly, I have endured pressure from the huge amount of classwork and activities required

to be completed every semester. Three particular strengths have been visible over the entire

learning period. Firstly, I demonstrated my time management ability even when it was most

unlikely. While working and studying concurrently, I had to plan schedules so I was not late for

class activities. Though sometimes balancing work and studies seemed overwhelming, I learned

to cope.

The second strength revolved around team playing, exhibited through the engagement of

colleagues and instructors. Teamwork in healthcare produces improved patient care and

outcomes (Gea-Caballero et al., 2021). Besides the class discussions, I kept in touch with

classmates to extend discussions about content. Thirdly, I demonstrated high learning agility

beyond the required class content. By understanding the value of continuous learning, I exceeded

the provided class content in gathering as much information as possible. The strength provided

my experience and information.

Potential departments to work in

Given the extensive experience gathered over my period of work as a Licensed

Vocational Nurse (LVN), a bachelor’s degree in nursing presents me with a broad range of

career alternatives (Salmond & Echevarria, 2017). I can work in critical care, public health,

pediatric, psychiatric, and labor and delivery departments (Salmond & Echevarria, 2017). The

most important for me would be to work as a labor and delivery nurse. I would feel most fulfilled

bringing life into the world and providing postnatal care.
