Balancing School and Life – My Quality of Life Self-Care Plan. The purpose of developing this Plan is to set a framework and a plan to maintain wellness and to stay motivated and engaged throughout your Program. Doing this will help you achieve success during your coursework and as a professional nurse.

The goal of the Project is to help you become self-aware and reflective as a means of identifying personal self-care strategies that will increase your energy and help you manage your stress. The Project will give you a chance to learn how this is accomplished as you will be doing similar work with clients during the Program and as a professional nurse to assist them in the same way.

Continue to use the quality of life self-assessment tool you selected to reassess and identify strategies you can use throughout your nursing program to maintain a desired quality of life. 

In a 2–3-page paper (not including the title page or reference page), include the following information:

• Compare your initial scores at the beginning of the course to your scores now at the end of the course.
• Describe how the scores have improved, declined or remained the same including an explanation for any variation in scores.
• Discuss new or revised strategies to maintain or improve your desired quality of life throughout the nursing program.
