My previous scores for the first week of assessment is undeniably low. However, as time passes by and trainings and lessons were received, I have certainly improved in many areas. I have come as far as scoring 34/48 which is definitely a bit high. Moreover, I have given importance to take more efforts in achieving perfect scores in those listed criteria. In the coming years, most probably after 2 years of practice I would like to achieve a perfect score in all of these criteria. This would make me a globally competitive nurse that can provide high quality service to every man in the world.
