As a novice practitioner and member of the health care team I believe I have come a long way from when I first began the nursing program. I have expanded on my communication skills with patients and overall knowledge of nursing. Within the hospital setting I am now more confident than I have ever been before. I use to walk into a patient’s room and not know what to say. I now do not have to think about what to say when entering a room, it just comes naturally. Even though I have so much more to still learn I feel as if I am beginning to fit in the profession more. It begins with the little things. I remember when I use to go to clinical and not understand the nursing terminology and now I am one of the people using the terms I once never knew.
