Attached above is my final clinical exemplar, written my senior year of college as a future Nurse. The point of an exemplar is to write a narrative story related to a memorable experience as a nurse in which we cherish and learned something from. This story is particularly about a patient I cared for in the Neurocritical ICU who brought out many different emotions, as well as many different lessons that I will value as I begin my career as…
During this ATI, I feel as though I did pretty good! Its all about balance and continuing to go with my gut. As a future nurse I have realized nursing is a career of constant learning. No one person will know everything and there’s always room for improvement, which is OKAY! I believe i’ve come a long way since I first started college and Nursing school.

I’m always worried about pharm as I second guess my abilities at times, but this reassured me I know a lot more than I think I know. We have learned so much in Nursing school, and a lot of it is stored information. We just need to continue to polish…
Reflecting on my most recent ATI exam as of April 1, I’m feeling more and more confidence and comfortable about taking the NCLEX. I’m smarter then I think, and really need to continue to read all of my options and go with my gut instinct. I have found my biggest NCLEX category weakness has been the Pharmacological and Parenteral therapies. Because out proctored pharmacology review was moved to next week due to covid, i have even more time this weekend…
