On Tuesday, September first I met with my academic advisor, Dr. Ana Londono for the first time. We met in her office on the first floor of Young Hall. She informed me that it was only her third week as an advisor at Lindenwold University. I was a bit nervous after hearing that because my major is Pre-Nursing and I had a lot of questions to ask. One of my main reason of making an appointment with my advisor was to ask when I would be able to apply for nursing school. I took a lot of college credit classes in high school. So Dr. Londono and I went over my high school transcript and figured out what classes I had already taken. Lindenwood has a great connection with Goldfarb School of Nursing. On the Lindenwold website they provide a list of required
classes you must complete before starting nursing school. This made planning out my next three semesters much easier. Since I have so many college credits already the maximum number of classes I would have to take in a semester is four. This was exciting for me because I new I would have a lot of extra time to focus on my studies. She told me that if I did not attend Goldfarb School of Nursing to still think about other nursing schools in Missouri. Dr. Londono said that it would benefit me more if I had a license in Missouri because that is where I would be working. Londono did not know much about the nursing program, but she helped me out a lot. We figured out that I can apply for nursing school next semester. She also recommended me to see Dr. Deborah Mercier to get further information on how the program works. Dr. Londono told me if I had any further question to email her anytime to make an appointment.
As a new nurse that was approaching my first anniversary of employment, I made the very tough decision to return to school to obtain my BSN. I began the RN-BSN program with the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) in August of 2015. My life was already very busy, along with having two children, a husband, and reentering the workforce in a new field, I decided that taking one course at a time would work best for my busy schedule. My focus was to take as many classes as possible, without breaks by following the start dates with the UTA program. There were pre-requisite classes from other schools that I overlapped with the RN-BSN classes because I wanted to complete the program as quickly as possible.
The primary reason I am applying to Molloy College is my desire to earn the education and qualifications in order to provide more involved care for my patients at work.

Being employed at both facilities is what led me to fall in love with a career in nursing, all while allowing me to gain a wonderful amount of experience caring for a diverse population as well as working with a diverse population of health care professionals.
My learning experience within inter-professional was very productive. I personally learned about working in collaboration with other professionals. My first impression was the first seminar which took place in the auditorium with a group of students from different professionals in health care sector. The actual seminar was a very good preparation for me and everyone who is in health professionals. The seminar gave me a very understanding of my future practice. It prepared me well on what to expect as I was not aware of the purpose of mixing different students from different professionals. The outcome of the seminar gave me a clear understanding and gave me opportunity to meet other student. During the seminar, I learned the best way to work

During my time in the Intermediate Leadership Course (ILE) there have been many topics covered. Each of these topics were geared toward increasing our effectiveness as leaders. Many of the concepts were known, but not practice, while some were unknown. This experience has given me the insights and tools to improve in multiple ways as a leader. In the next three to five years I will take the steps necessary to utilize what I have learned and apply these concepts to be a better leader, peer, and subordinate.

I had finally settled into living on my own and was doing well adjusting from my life in the foster system. I went to PIMA Medical Institute to speak with the admissions counselor, who worked out a schedule for me and had my classes starting two weeks from that meeting. I committed myself to the next step of my education.

Spring 2015, my first year of nursing school was a life changing event for me, I didn’t succeed as I anticipated. As the semester came to an end, I had daunting thoughts about transferring to another university
I feel very fortunate to have found my supervisor. She is so knowledgeable and generous with her knowledge. In our reading this week I believe my supervisor would be defined as expressive (Russell-Chapin, 2016). She is easy to talk to and she likes to hear about all of my concerns, including logistical issues. After the second week, she started to encourage me to come up with my own solutions. She no longer provided me with readings and long dialogues of what to do next, instead she would ask me what I thought. I truly enjoy these conversations and she guides me on a path to follow my own instincts and to trust my judgment.
This essay will discuss how I have personally managed some of the difficulties of transitioning between the positions of constable on a shift, moving to the position of a shift supervisor (acting sergeant), returning as a member on the same shift and working beside the same shift colleagues. I will discuss the issues that I have faced, such as the leadership transition, human resource management and how I was able to influence my peers, both inexperienced and experienced. I will reflect on leading and mentoring my colleagues and how this can assist the transition from shift member to a supervisor. I will also discuss the common issues that I have faced when working alongside my colleagues, after the transition from supervisor to shift member.
A faculty advisor can have a tremendous impact on a student’s college experience in addition to being a phenomenal referral source. In fact, referral to academic sources was a key aspect of the advisor’s duty according to Allen et al. (2008). Social and cognitive development were also noted as positive outcomes of effective advising( Allen et al 2008:609).
