Reflection
Using one of the articles that you read for this class (it can be one posted in the class or one that you found) as a starting point, reflect on changes that you have or are currently experiencing.
How can what you have learned in this class help you to develop your career (nurse practitioner) and to navigate in this ever-changing health care landscape? Align your learning to one or more course objectives.
Remember, this is a reflection posting, there is no right or wrong answer. The goal is for you to look back at where you were when you began this class and where you are now to reflect on the changes and growth that have occurred.
