My first-year courses, such as Foundations of Nursing I and II, Health Assessment, and Anatomy and Physiology, prepared me for my older adult placement at Bowmanville Lakeridge Health. These courses laid a strong foundation, covering essential skills and knowledge that every nurse uses daily. For instance, having the knowledge to understand the connection between the cardiovascular and integumentary systems and the importance of turning bedridden patients every two hours is one example of my “textbook to in practice moments” which enhances my nursing knowledge and judgment.
