I believe my current Physical Assessment class will help contribute to my future nursing practice because it simply is a place for me to refine all of my physical assessment skills. Granted that was the purpose of maybe most of my associate’s degree program. The difference is that now that I am officially a registered nurse there are no more major exams left for me to take, so my only real focus is now on the refining of my nursing skills. Physical assessment is arguably the most important nursing skill. Without efficient physical assessment skills all other aspects of nursing practice are subject to fault. I just hope that by the time I have completed this course I will be where I want to be with my assessment skills.
