Reflection Breast cancer has strongly affected my personal 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.

Slide 6

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.

Slide 7

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.
