This is your first Reflection exercise. Students have reviewed the several resources and chosen a country/community and a specific health issue as the focus for the final paper in NRSE 3700J. Reflection exercise #1 and #2 will provide the opportunity for additional thinking about the healthcare focus. Students will reflect on the new information gained about healthcare in the chosen country/community. Authors will explore how some aspect of one’s life has changed (developed or grown) given the new information. See the Instructional Materials in Module 4 for some guidance in reflective thinking.

Although these three papers involve personal reflection they are not informal documents. Use complete sentences and paragraphs. Use supportive statements with citations when appropriate. Be critical in thinking and writing. Move beyond simple description.

Refer to Rubric #6 for evaluation guidelines.
