I felt that being able to see other students via hangout enhanced communication and built rapport. These activities allowed me to identify commonalities, share information, and created a sense of belonging. I enjoyed the small group of students which supported a productive and participatory learning environment. Even though some of the students live miles away from each other, I felt like I knew them. Clinical bound experience was exceptional, after interacting and sharing each other’s experiences and knowing we all have something in common was special. The nursing program and the CB was a good experience for me in that sense.
The faculty presence every step of the way to guide me throughout the program, the two-way communication between me and my instructors allowed me to structure personally meaningful knowledge. The interaction of the students and faculty via Google hangouts, discussion boards, and emails has made my learning community at Frontier phenomenal as I am actively engaged.

    I believe placing student nurses in the clinical setting is vital in becoming competent nurses. Every experience the student experiences during their placement has an educative nature therefore, it is important for the students to take some time to reflect on these experiences. A specific situation that stood out to me from my clinical experience was that; I didn’t realize I had ignored the patient’s pain until I was later asked by the nurse if the patient was in any pain.

    When I was a freshman in college, I started my first semester with four basic classes: English, algebra, chemistry, and developmental psychology. Back then I did not see the significance of those classes other than the fact that I had to take them to meet general education requirements. I was aware that the purpose of general education was to create a well-rounded student with a variety of skills and knowledge, but I did not understand why a nurse would need to know how to write a five page paper on the Arab Spring. Fast forward to my last semester of college and more importantly, nursing school, where for the first time I am realizing how important those courses were for my nursing school career. One of the most recent examples that come to mind where an Arts and Sciences course demonstrated its importance was during my pediatric rotation. My classmates and I were rounding with the instructor and were discussing the importance of being advocates for children. During that conversation it was mentioned that frequently the general public’s knowledge about the body goes as far as a high school biology class. If it weren’t for the requirement of anatomy and physiology classes, it would be difficult to differentiate a stomach ache from

    I was very excited to have healthcare as the topic for my groups presentation, I’ve personally never had to deal with the logistics of healthcare or even needed to know how it worked. If I was sick I would go to the hospital or see a doctor and as long as they took my insurance, we were good to go. When we first started thinking about our topic as a group and the elements we wanted to add, we asked ourselves this: “What have we heard about healthcare but know nothing about?” the result was three main categories Medicare, Medicaid, and Obamacare. We assumed that as a group if we knew little about these topics, then there was a good chance no one in the class did either. Some of the things I found most interesting during the process of creating
