Preparing the assignment
There are three parts to this assignment. Speak with your faculty member if you have questions.
1. Letter for Graduation (30 points/24%)
a. Write a letter to yourself on your graduation day.
b. Consider the following questions as you compose your letter.
i. How do you hope you have changed in terms of knowledge and skills, and personally?
ii. What would you like to remind yourself about your inspiration for choosing this career?
iii. You will be preparing to take the NCLEX exam and to start your first job as a baccalaureate-prepared nurse. Are there any words of encouragement that you would like to tell your future self?
iv. Are there any words of caution you want to tell yourself—pitfalls to avoid?
v. What kind of nurse do you hope you have become? What further growth and change do you envision for yourself?
c. Submit this letter with this assignment. We will make sure it is returned to you when you have completed your academic work at Chamberlain and are ready to receive your baccalaureate degree in nursing.
2. Inspiration (30 points/24%)
a. In addition to the letter, submit one page that you create that represents your inspiration for becoming a nurse. It may be a picture, a collage, a series of quotes, etc. Choose words and images that are meaningful to you. This should be a picture that you can post somewhere, perhaps where you study, in order to motivate yourself as you move forward on your journey to become a nurse.
3. Reflections Presentation (65 points/52%)
a. In addition to the letter and one page inspiration, prepare a 500-650 word informal paper that discusses the following topics:
i. What does your inspiration mean?
ii. Name one concept that challenged you during this course.
iii. What has been the greatest lesson you have learned?
iv. How will what you have learned help you be successful at Chamberlain?
