(Types of questions that you might consider that may help guide your reflection: How might your thought processes change from your current nursing role to your future BScN role? Are there courses that will be particularly helpful in meeting your career goal, courses that you anticipate will be challenging, time management needs, study skill needs, need to connect with others in the program, or other strengths or areas for improvement to enhance your educational journey?
