Welcome»

old costume 2 Thank you for viewing my portfolio page. This portfolio has been an ongoing adventure as I have been updating it since my sophomore year in the Pacific Lutheran University Bachelor of Science Nursing program. This is a portfolio that represents both my student nursing experiences in the classroom and at clinical sites, as well as my experiences outside of the Nursing program while at PLU. I hope that you enjoy scrolling through my site and learn more about my vision of nursing and learn about the many wonderful experiences I have had as a student at Pacific Lutheran University.

Future Goals »

Sophomore Goals

1 Year Goal: Passed required classes and participate in extracurricular activities at PLU.

5 Year Goal: After completion of the BSN program I am planning to return to active duty as a Naval Nurse.

10 Year Goal: I am planning on applying for an educational program where the Navy will pay for my Graduate work where I would like to aim towards Staff Educator/Trainer.

Senior Goals

1 Year Goal: I am currently finishing up the application process to return to active duty as a Naval Nurse. The application process is trying and currently with the economy new nursing graduates have flooded into the military seeking nursing jobs and so there is somewhat a hiring freeze of entering the Navy as a Naval Nurse Officer. I am currently being told it will be a six to twelve month waiting time before being activated to Active Duty. While waiting I have committed to Graduate School where I will be completing my masters degree of a Master of Science in Nursing:Leadership in Health Care Systems. This is a 16 month full time online program which will be flexible with my future plans of returning to the military.

5 Year Goal: I hope to be active duty by this time and have completed my masters. I am hoping to have a couple of years of RN nursing experience and working towards the opportunity to move into a leadership position in the Navy. I also hope to have completed one shore rotation of assigned orders and hope to be moving my family for an overseas experience.

10 Year Goal: I am planning on returning to school to finish my doctoral degree, and although I know I want to do this I am unsure what I want to pursue for this degree. I am hoping by having ten years nursing experience at this time I would know what I would like to complete it in. I plan on applying for a military educational program to complete this degree.

Nursing Philosophy

The attachment below is my nursing philosophy which was an assignment for self recognition of the philosophy that I have set that will lead and guide my practice. Please review it to learn what my values and opinions that I have selected as being important.

Nursing Philosophy

Art of Nursing:

Nursing is an art:
and if it is to be made an art,
It requires an exclusive devotion
as hard a preparation,
as any painter´s or sculptor´s work;
for what is the having to do with
dead canvas or dead marble,
compared with having to do
with the living body,
the temple of God´s spirit?
It is one of the Fine Arts:
I had almost said,
the finest of Fine Arts.

- Florence Nightingale
