life. Honored to use my acquired knowledge for this community
service. Supporting a communities members, makes for a stronger
community. Support groups come in different forms. Faith adds extra
support.

- Synthesis Accomplished several of the BSN outcomes. Applied
Jean Watsons Theory of Human Caring into my practice. Curing cannot
occur without Caring (Vance, 2013). Prepared evidence-based
information for the group. Professionalism achieved through
practice of the Nursing Standards of Professional Performance.

- Recommendations Watsons belief in unity and connections (Vance,
2013). Support groups = strong community members = stronger
communities. Strong communities is a goal of service learning.
Excellent opportunity for me to support a community using skills
acquired in the classroom.
