1. Identify up to three things you learned and/or confirmed  about yourself as a result of your project.

• I learned to never lose faith because it will get you through many siutations

• I learned a lot about art, portraiture, techniques, and new mediums

• I confirmed that I do want to pursue pediatric oncology nursing in my future 

 

2. Identify up to three things that you would do differently if you had the opportunity to redo any aspect of your project.

• I would have used different paper for some of the portraits depending on the medium.    

 

3. Identify the BEST aspect of your project, your most valuable accomplishment.

• The overall idea and the amount of pieces I completed along with all of my effort. 

 

4. Identify the biggest challenge that you encountered as you implemented your project.  Explain how you overcame this challenge.

• With senior year already being so busy, it was really difficult to complete 20 portraits that had to be accurate and technical in a timely manner. I just really dedicated myself to it because I'm passionate about it and I worked for at leat an hour every night after I finished my homework, and it payed off completely. 

 

5.  Identify what your strongest memory will be regarding your Senior Project when you describe it to someone in the future.

• The main reason I did this project was to make a difference in the lives of children living with cancer and make their fight a little bit more positive, so knowing that i will do that is something that I will never forget, and one day when I work with cancer patients as my career, I would love to tell them about my project and still keep the books coming so that they can continue to help children. 

 

6. Rate the following aspects of the Senior Project process using the scale below:

                5 = excellent

                4 = very good

                3 = good

                2 = fair

                1 = poor

__5__ quality of instructional process

__5__ coordinator assistance throughout process

__5__ value of documentation/forms completed

__5__ value of group sessions

__5__ value of individual conference sessions with coordinator

__5__ value of website

__5__ fairness of workload per quarter

____ worth of experience with your mentor

__4__ worth of field experience

__5__ preparation & instruction given for evaluation presentation

__4__ final evaluation process

__5__ Senior Showcase Event

 

1. Provide any reaction/commentary you wish to make for any of the categories rated above.

• I did not have a mentor so I left that one blank, and the showcase has not happened yet, but I am very confident in my display and have everything ready to set up, so I know it will be great. The step by step instructions from the coordinator,along with the individual and group sessions really helped walk me through the process calmly and it would not have gone as smoothly without all of the coordinator's help and dedication. 

 

2. Provide recommendations for improvement for selection, implementation & presentation for future seniors and/or instructor.

• DO NOT PROCRASTINATE. Also, make sure you present just as you would during the real evaluation and time yourself, I had 17 slides of presentation that were filled with information and a video, and I only had 13 minutes after I timed myself. This helped me to take my time and think deeper about what I want the evaluators to know instead of just trying to fill up 20 minutes.
