Module 1 taught about testing and remediation skills. It touched upon skills for good study habits, preparing for tests properly, and using good test taking strategies to perform well on the test. Something that I have struggled with in the past is test anxiety and this module goes over how to alleviate that anxiety. It said to relax muscles, use positive self talk, and focus on one question at a time. These skills have helped me in my nursing exam because I would get overwhelmed by the amount of questions and completely focusing on one at a time really helps me. Another important thing for nursing questions is to reread the question multiple times because it is easy to look over if the question is asking for the right answer or for the answer that is incorrect. These test taking skills will benefit me when taking the NCLEX and strengthening these skills before that exam is my goal.

Module 2 was about nursing concepts which discusses different aspects that are important to the nursing profession such as inter-professionalism, safety, client centered care, evidence based practice, quality improvement, informatics, client education, professionalism, leadership, and priority setting. The concepts that stood out the most to me were inter-professionalism, client centered care, and client education. Inter-professionalism is extremely important because healthcare settings do not work without many different professions all working together to provide care for individuals. As a nurse you have to be a patient advocate and make sure the patient is receiving the care that they require from other healthcare professionals. In nursing school we start learning this by constantly working with our peers in labs and in classes to get used to working with others. Nursing also focuses on the caring aspect of working with clients while other healthcare professionals focus more on curing. This makes client centered care and education from the nurses critical for clients to feel fully taken care of and comfortable.
