Nursing Portfolio for Nicole Aaron

Role of Service

Objectives

Enact the role of service as a professionally educated member of society.

Service Experiences

I have had many opportunities to provide service to others, but not many as a future nurse. I have provided basic services to resident's at the Linden Grove nursing home during my Nursing Competencies I clinical.

In my Professional Foundations course I have learned immensely useful information not only on the role of service, but on the best way to provide service, and why providing service is important.

During a religion course at PLU I was required to do a service learning project. A classmate and I decided to work with the Pierce County AIDS Foundation and I had to write a paper after I was done. While my service in this instance did not directly affect another individual, it did help those afflicted with HIV/AIDS indirectly. I was also able to provide some education to individuals who may have previously been unaware.

I think that the role of service encompasses much more than it seems. You can offer your services in more ways than one, and every way helps someone!
