As I progress towards graduation and the end of my nursing schooling, I have many mixed emotions. I am excited to begin working in a hospital and taking care of patients. I am also excited to take everything I learned from nursing school and incorporate it into what I am learning at the hospital throughout my orientation and first few years. Although I am very excited to begin my new journey of becoming a nurse, I am also very anxious about it! My biggest fear currently is taking the NCLEX. I believe this is my biggest fear because it is standing in between me and becoming a true registered nurse. However, I am grateful for classes, such as transition to practice, that is preparing me to take the NCLEX. Through these classes and studying small sections of different material each day for 30 minutes, I feel as though I will be able to attain my goal.

In Transition to Practice, I watched modules on four major Nursing Logics. I learned many helpful concepts from these modules. For the first Nursing Logic, Knowledge and Clinical Judgement, I learned different strategies that will help me succeed. These strategies included meaningful reading, sticking to a routine, and foundational thinking. These three concepts will help me when studying for nursing classes but also when I am prepping for the NCLEX. In the second Nursing Logic, Nursing Concepts, I learned about new technology, web-based information, and good resources. These concepts are important to me because many patients will look up what is going on with them on the internet. Through this module, I will now be able to give patient safe and helpful internet resources. In the third Nursing Logic, Priority Setting Frameworks, I learned about survival potential and the different categories within that, I also re-learned about safety reduction, and ABCs. Although I already had knowledge on airway, breathing, and circulation (ABCs) and safety reduction, I believe it was extremely helpful to re-learn the material. Lastly, in the fourth Nursing Logic, Testing and Remediation, I learned how to prep and take a standardized test, like the NLCEX. I also learned how to properly read the questions and critically think about the answer. Lastly, I learned about the NCLEX and ways to properly take the test. Although I am very nervous for my upcoming future, especially the NCLEX, I know my nursing classes and materials like the Nursing Logic will help me when taking the exam.
