Notes:
Learning is a compound process often marred with several uncertainties and challenges. It is for these reasons that student advisors become handy. In this regard, their role is to help learners understand their academic programs and how they can meet their academic goals. Enrolling in the Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner program, I must admit that I didn’t have the answers to all the questions I have been asking myself regarding my career choice. The program was wide, and I found difficulties relating the outcomes to my career goals. I selected Teresa-Smith because of her willingness to help and her vast experience in handling students.
As a psychiatric nurse with specific interpersonal relations skills, Teresa-Smith is better poised to help me identify my strengths and weaknesses throughout the course. I believe that through frequent engagements with her, I will be able to find a higher purpose in the course as well as to synchronize my career goals with the course outcomes defined in the psychiatric nursing program. Her willingness to help makes relating with her simple.
