My
Reflection
Having minimal experience in the use of the computer I enquired
about online courses I signed up got accepted and was then introduced to this course
‘Computer tools for nurses’.
With this came terms associated with this course such as threaded
discussion and netiquette, followed by a system identifying my learning style which
was greatly appreciated. Subsequently the
introduction to this specialty in nursing called Nursing Informatics brought significant
awareness into this scope of practice. Learning the different classifications
of computers, the differentiation of hardware and software was truly implausible.
The information provided by the lecturer was greatly valued and
peeked my interest as I’m finding this course very interesting however at this
time even though a lot of information has been given my true appreciation for
this will come when I think when there is time to really do some deep learning
and not surface as is happening now due to the rapidity to complete assignments
in limited time.
I’m now grateful and feel empowered with the ability to identify
reliable sources and check my work to avoid plagiarism which now gives my work validity
and accuracy leading to more
scholarly papers with credible references. I keep challenging myself though because
I feel I have learned a lot and I know there are loads more to learn.
