Description of one important learning experience in this Course
The most valuable learning experience I have chosen in regards to the CLPNA competency, was when I attended NFDN maternity. This course deals with significant changes in human anatomy, psychological, and physiological during pregnancy.
I gained a good understanding of the different changes that can occur to a mother throughout pregnancy. The experience will help me when I am preparing for my clinical placements.
What I Learned
Through this experience I learned about the changes in a mother’s body during pregnancy and various factors that cause these changes.
I discovered that hormones can influence human anatomy to support growth.
As a nurse with a specialization in maternity, I could use this knowledge to give accurate teachings while on duty.
Just:
I would rate myself just or fair in terms of the chosen competency (K1-2).
This is because, although I have a good understanding of the competency theory, it’s possible that I don’t know how to use the nursing experience.
Why It Was Important/ Meaningful
This competency is important to me because it will help me plan care for my future clients.
How do I apply this learning to nursing practice
