DESCRIPTION OF ONE
SIGNIFICANT LEARNING
EXPERIENCE IN THIS
COURSE
WHAT I LEARNED
I learned how to assess a woman post-partum and help her through the
many physiological (as well as emotional) experiences. Many women
are not aware of a lot of the changes that occur post-partum and need
help coping with them and understanding what is going on which can
relieve a lot of anxiety. I know to watch for things such as signs of
hemorrhage, the changes that occur in rugae, the size of the fundus,
and the firmness of the cervix.

WHY IT WAS
MEANINGFUL/
SIGNIFICANT
As with all nursing skills, proficiency comes with time, practice and
good mentoring. I will look to my mentors for feedback. I will
continue to learn, research, and ask questions to make sure I am up to
date with my practice. My patients well-being and safety will always
be my first priority.

After reading through the course, I felt the need to know more about
what is going on in my community. I have been searching my local
demographics, and from there have found statistical information on
the health of my area. I live in a mostly rural area, and I was able to
find information on what crops are being grown locally and what
health issues arise during spring preparations and harvest. In order
to be a competent nurse in my community it is important for me to
be aware of the needs and concerns in the community.
I will definitely carry with me the basics of this course through my
nursing career. I find myself paying more attention to the state of
my community, my place of employment and even my childrens
school. I want to be a nurse who values upstream thinking and
utilize it throughout my life time. Because this has made such an
impact on me, I feel as though I will make sure I am staying up to
date on issues, health or otherwise, that impact the general health of
my community. I want to be a good advocate for my patients, my
community and my family.
