As a first year first semester nursing student in an associate’s program I started as a novice in my profession. I was a beginner. I was told what to do and how to do it. I had an experienced nurse as well as a clinical instructor helping every step of the way to make sure that I was performing the task or procedure on the patient correctly. By graduation I was an advanced beginner. I was able to administer medications on my own as well as perform tasks that my primary nurse felt comfortable with me performing because at the end of the day my primary nurse was still held responsible for the total care of the patient. I say that I was an advance beginner because of this and because I had experience in the actual nursing situations where I could begin to recognize
