As I begin this educational experience and search for purpose,I'm absolutely looking forward to reading and learning about my classmatescurrent and past professional experiences. My greatest fears in thiseducational venture is writing papers and collaborating with groups. I havebeen out of school for ten years, so having to write a paper after so manyyears of not doing so is a bit nerve racking and overwhelming. As with thegroup projects, my fear is the differing schedules and not being able to meetdeadlines. One way of overcoming these fears is being proactive andcommunicative. Staying ahead of assignments, not procrastinating until the lastminute to contact other members of my respective group.

There was one occasion in my professional past where I had to goteach a home health patient about a Wound Vac application and dressing change.I had no clue as to how to even manage a Wound Vac. When you look at thisdevice and the foams that come with it, it looks overwhelming. What worked tomy advantage is that I knew 1 week in advanve that I had to go do this visit.None of my home health co-workers knew how to work a Wound Vac either. With thepermission of my supervisor, I called the Wound Vac company and requested aninservice on the management of the machine and dressings. The company came theday after and taught all the nursing staff at the company about this device andthe dressings involved with it. I was able to visit the patient and confidentlyapply the Wound Vac successfully my first time. It was just a matter ofrecognizing where I lacked knowledge and finding the right resource ofeducation to deliver safe and quality care to my patient.
