1. Collaboration is more important in online courses. With that in mind, it is critical that we get to know one another when communicating in the online portion of this course. To promote this "human connection" to the Course Discussion Board and use the forum to introduce yourselves to one another. This is a requirement of the course and is not an option.

    

2. In preparation for the web conferencing session, complete the readings for the module and reflect on your Personal Nursing Philosophy.
   • Consider the following:
     *Clear description of your definition, beliefs, values and meanings of Nursing. 
     *Description of how philosophical influences have been integrated into your philosophy 
     *Analysis of how your foundation of practice has been influenced by the readings and discussions.

Post your individual response to the Discussion Board, you might also wish to review the posted responses of your peers.
