Service Learning Project

This is my professional self-reflection of how I met the different objectives for my Community Nurse course. The clinical facility that I was located at for my clinical rotation was Sunset Park Senior Center in, Brooklyn, New York. I was excited about experiencing being a community nurse. I feel that this course have made me gain a new aspect about patient care.
