SAMPLE 1

Hello class,

            There are several existing GCU resources that I believe will be useful in helping me become a successful student. Two resources in particular that stand out are the Learning Lounge tutoring program and the Writing Center. As an Emergency Room (ER) nurse and attending the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program, managing my busy schedule while still performing well academically will certainly be challenging at times. The Learning Lounge tutoring program will provide an invaluable resource for me to get additional support outside of the classroom as needed. As a science-focused degree, I know some of the nursing courses will involve materials that will require me to review more thoroughly with a tutor. Having tutors available through the Learning Lounge on evenings and weekends will give me flexible options to fit study sessions into my work schedule as needed. I also think utilizing tutoring will help reinforce the material we will cover throughout this course.

            In addition, the Writing Center will be extremely useful since writing is such a fundamental component of demonstrating my knowledge and skills in nursing coursework. According to Chapter 5 of the University Success Guide: Finding Your Purpose, the Writing Center will provide tools that will help complete written course assignments, familiarize with specific writing guidelines and requirements, and improve overall writing skills. As an accelerated program, the writing expectations and assignments will be rigorous. As a result, having online tutorials and resources through the Writing Center will help me develop my writing abilities and ensure I am formatting papers according to the correct APA style from the beginning. Both of these resources directly support my academic goals and achieving success in the coursework. The flexible scheduling of the Learning Lounge and convenient online Writing Center tools will make it feasible for me to utilize them as an essential academic nurse. I am confident these resources will help me maximize my potential as a student at GCU.
