Welcome to my ePortfolio! This is my journey to becoming a Registered Nurse through the Associate in Science Degree in Nursing program.

# data[].attributes.body
The nine program learning outcomes (PLOs) include ethics, reflection, evidence-based practice, leadership, collaboration, health care system, client-centered care, communication, and clinical judgment.  In the following tabs, I have provided artifacts through papers, projects, NCPs, etc of how I have successfully achieved these PLOs throughout my duration in this nursing program.

My nursing philosophy is growing with me as I go through my journey in nursing school. Some key aspects I believe a nurse should embody are showing compassion, promoting dignity, being humble, and practicing integrity.

My goal is to work as a Registered Nurse in an outpatient clinic setting with the pediatric and adult population here in Hawai'i.  I would like to further my education in the future by getting my DNP and work as a Family Nurse Practitioner.
