I learned so much about myself from developing and completing my capstone project. I began my project during the summer and feel very accomplished now that everything is complete. Many things can go wrong, which is one of the first valuable lessons I learned. It is important to remember that the work can take longer than anticipated, but it will be worth it in the end. Preparing for this is critical by setting realistic goals and accounting for failures. It is crucial to remember to maintain composure and consider the wider view because this lesson applies to everything in life.
I feel like I have evolved in many ways from this experience, by improving my ability to ask for help. This has been a significant aspect of my growth as learning to and understanding how to ask for help can help me become a better nurse. Effective communication and collaboration are extremely important aspects of being a nurse and by enhancing my willingness to know when to ask for help I am strengthening my teamwork skills overall. In the healthcare field, no one is alone and I feel that I am more prepared to work in a team setting.
There were many challenges I faced in producing my capstone, and throughout those challenges, they helped me realize why I always felt so pulled to pediatric nursing. The obstacles I faced made me even more determined to change nursing for the better. This project wasn’t just about completing a requirement to receive the title of graduating with honors. This project was about gaining skills and knowledge, along with experience that can make real changes to myself, and benefit my journey as a nurse.
I am filled with insight from completing my capstone, and I feel a stronger sense of purpose to want to work with children and adolescents. My capstone was transformative, and deepened my understanding of nursing.
