Throughout these first couple months of my internship it has been wonderful, and has made me very grateful to be a part of the Honors Mentorship Program. My perception of this internship has also changed. It has shown me that it is possible for me to follow my dreams, and has given me glimpses of what I want my future to be. At the beginning of my internship I was very nervous to go, but now I love going! I also thought that with the internship I would just sit back and shadow the doctor, but that has not been the case. At my internship they have me doing many different things. From shodowing Dr. Campbell, helping Natialle with office management, or even helping Katie, the Nurse Practitioner, with putting together kits for when patients get their blood drawn. So, yes my perception of this internship has changed, and I am very glad I get to experience this.
There are many things that have surprised me with this internship. I am very surprised about all the things I am getting to do and observe! I am also held responsible for many things for this internship. By being held responsible for many more things it has also help me to become more confident in myself, knowing that they believe that I can really helps me have confidence in my decisions and responses.
There are always things that I know I can improve on. I believe I need to improve on speaking up for myself, and being more confident in myself. I say this because I have came a long way already, but I am still shy at many times. Also, I still need to work on my responsibility piece, which I believe will really help on my performance.

Reflection
This article from The American Association of Nurse Practitioners fits into my research, because it gives information about what a nurse practitioner is. It also helps to explain how a nurse practitioner is viewed in the field of medicine by doctors and patients. This article adds to my paper by helping me to understand and tell others what a nurse practitioner really does. Which is to become a nurse practitioner you need a major or doctorates degree. Then you are really just right under the doctor, and you can even write out prescriptions to your patients. In the article is even said that patients prefer to see a nurse practitioner over the doctor, because a nurse practitioner is willing to spend more time with a patient than a doctor is likely to. I really liked this, because I am about wanting to help my potential patients and spend the necessary time that I need to spend with them for them to get better.
I found this source very helpful to me. It was full of information about becoming and being a nurse practitioner. It helped me to understand my further want to hopefully become a nurse practitioner one day. The way that it described a nurse practitioner being is really what I want to pen point when I become one. Which is to truly wanting to give my patient the very best care. I believe that I can use this in my research, because it will help me to explain what a nurse practitioner does, and what a nurse practitioner seems to value.

Work Ethic
This assignment that I did for my HMP was about Work Ethic. I had to take a test that measures my work ethic. It is supposed to show my work ethic compared to others. This test ranks you in three different categories for your work ethic. Which are interpersonal skills, initiative, and being dependable. I scored high in each, with above average for interpersonal skills and initiative, and a little below average for being dependable.
- Interpersonal Skills= 6.69 out of 7
- Initiative= 6.50 out of 7
- Dependability= 6.29 out of 7
This really opened my eyes to understand what I need to be giving to my mentor and workplace, and even to this class. It shows me all the potential that I really have, and that I need to use all of it. Also, it gave me some new things to use in my Memtorship, like to be more devious. Which means to show more of a skillful use of underhanded tactics to achieve goals. So, this reminds me that you do not always have to go by the book for everything, but to think outside of the box every chance you get. This will also help you to be thought higher of, because you can think for yourself.
