The purpose of this paper is to allow you to tell your personal story about your journey in this role transition from VN to RN. It is to track your historical achievement toward becoming a professional registered nurse from the day you start the Transition course to the day you throw hats in the air on your graduation day. The famous Chinese philosopher, Lao Tze, said, The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. By continuing your education in pursuing the RN profession is the first step you have just undertaken. You have shown your commitment to lifelong learning and engagement, where in the end, you will reap your fruits of labor in achieving autonomy, mastery, and purpose in life. Each journey is unique to the traveler. Each road travelled may seem to lead in a never-ending lane of endlessness. The path you just took today in becoming a professional RN can lead to a thousand more, as the process of learning and discovery is not a short one. In a collaborative effort, we want to make sure that your path leads to success. Hence, this paper writing will paint a bigger picture to see where your journey is heading from here. This reflection paper encourages you to find what is meaningful to you, and thus, it adds value to your learning. It is to be written in a few words as much as possible. This principle is called parsimony, which is a two-sided coin less on one side, more on the other. Hence, this paper is no more than 300 words, which is about 2-3 printed pages. Students will use APA style. The title page and reference pages do not \”count\” in this word/page limit, and note that an Abstract is not needed for this brief paper. Students may include their own reflections on motivation, aspirations, expectations, opportunities, and influences, drawn from personal experience(s). Students should also draw upon the chapter readings as assigned (please see below), and conduct an interview with a registered nurse, preferably one with an advanced practice, e.g. Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP), Nurse Educator, Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS), and so on. To prepare for this assignment, students will read the textbooks, including the history of the selected role, definition and public expectations, scope, role development, nursing theory, and influences from professional organizations. Student will conduct an interview with an advanced practice nurse. From Lora Claywells book, please read the following chapters: Chapter 1, Honoring Your Past. Planning Your Future, pp1-10 Chapter 6, Distinguishing the RN Role from the LPN/LVN Role, pp79-97 From Potter/Perry book, please read the following chapters: Chapter 1, Nursing Today, pp1-40 Chapter 4, Theoretical Foundations of Nursing Practice, pp41-51 Your reflection paper should contain the following: Paragraph 1: Introduction why do you want to be a registered nurse?

Paragraph 3: Choose a Nursing Theory as a framework to guide your journey Why did you choose this theory?
