Missing Clinical Experience
Today I had the opportunity to redo a missed clinical date. I joined in Professor Connor’s Thursday group at RCH. I actually really enjoyed Professor Connor’s teaching style. She moved swift enough to give ample learning opportunities to all of us! I appreciated her moving so quickly as I got to administer my first injection! Not only did I administer a flu shot, but I also administered a heparin injection and an insulin injection! Professor Connors was the real MVP today. I could not believe how much of a confidence boost it was for me. I am almost happy I had to redo a missed clinical.
Describe the negatives of your experience today:
The abnormal negative experience I had today was actually with the RN I was assigned to. She expressed concerns over certain instructors and our capabilities as RN students. This was difficult to hear as I infer she wanted me to agree with her. I am proud to be an SJVC student and feel that our skill capabilities match up well with where we are in the program. …show more content…
I am adjusting well to 12 hours and I am feeling more confident with my presence as a student nurse. I also try to find moments to make a patient feel that he/she is a human being with feelings. It is important to me that every patient feel

    Cover Letter For Nursing Case Study

    After hearing from Dr. Holt-Macey about matrix rotations available at Abington, I immediately emailed her with my interest. By completing a matrix rotation of Ambulatory Care, Institutional, and Internal Medicine, I will be able to establish myself at the hospital and place myself in a greater position to make a positive impact as a student pharmacist. I will be able to familiarize myself with the pharmacy team as well as the other health professions in the hospital. The more time I have at Abington, the better I can develop relationships with my colleagues. I believe having continuity with one’s peers (as well as environment) will go a long way in furthering my learning development.…

    Personal Narrative: My Trip To St. Jude Cardiac Rehab

    I will be going to St Jude Cardiac Rehab for my clinical. This week I could not start my clinical rotation because I did not have clearance from the hospital administration. However, I spoke to my preceptor Maria and arranged to start my first day of clinical on next week Thursday, which is September 1st, from 10 AM to 6 PM. There are two programs: one is traditional cardiac rehab and other one is ‘Ornish’ program. Next week I will attend Wednesday and Thursday, so I can have experience of both programs. I am very excited and looking forward to start my Community Health Clinical program…

    Miami Miller Reflection

    Ever since I transferred to the University of Miami as an undergrad, I have had the gratification and honor to meet and work with various remarkable people, from physicians to scientists and staff. Doing research and shadowing at Miami Miller School of Medicine gave me the prospect to admire how marvelous the school and its community are. Furthermore, I have had the satisfaction to meet several professors who teach at the medical school and the prospect of learning from them is enticing. Being able to experience first-hand the compassion and care that the doctors at Miller demonstrate their patients have also confirmed that this school is not short of role models for me to follow. Additionally, I have met several students who have shared their…

    Nurse Staffing Case Study

    These shifts still need to be filled because of the ever increasing patient amount within the hospital. These extra hours will play a toll on our current employees who are expected to step up and take these extra shifts. “Long work hours can lead to fatigue, restlessness, inadequate sleep, pain and deficits in performance and reaction time as a result of increased exposure to physical demands and insufficient recovery time (Bae, Nursing Overtime: Why, How Much, and Under What Working Conditions?). Continuing, “Reduced rest and recovery time leads to physiologic depletion or exhaustion that continues into the next workday. The Institute of Medicine recommended nurses work no more than 12 hours in a 24-hour period and no more than 60 hours in a 7-day period to avoid error-producing fatigue” (Bae, Nursing Overtime: Why, How Much, and Under What Working Conditions?). Nurses will not be able to abide by this recommendation from the IOM due to the need for overtime of nurses on the ICU from missing three nursing positions. This will prove to be unsafe and unhealthy for the patients and the individual nurse working so many overtime hours alike. “Excessive use of overtime increases nurse injuries, including needle stick and musculoskeletal problems” (Bae, Nursing Overtime: Why, How Much, and Under What Working…

    12 Hour Shifts

    Hello Monique, great contribution to this delicate topic in discussion. It must have been very difficult for you to argue for a topic that you personally oppose. From your personal point of view, I truly agree with all your argument about the negative consequences for nurses working 12 hour shifts. On the other hand the article you posted in favor of 12 hour shift did not do a good job supporting its arguments with other evidence based facts. I was also a little confused about the scenario you shared and its correlation to working extended long hours. I will be glad if you can enlighten me further on that correlation. I am currently working on an inpatient psychiatric unit and I will testify that working only 32 hours a week for 4 days even…

    I continue to engage in medical experiences with my most memorable being, a six-week intense summer program offered by the University of Miami's School of Medicine, which aims to provide a mini medical school experience. We were taught several courses by medical school professors, including Anatomy & Physiology lab where we studied a human cadaver. As well, I shadowed doctors in departments such as Neurology and Trauma, where I observed my first surgery. This experience exposed me to the patience and detail of practicing medicine and interconnectedness…

    How To Write A Rn Reflection

    During the second half of the semester I showed strengths by recognizing my own limits and seeking assistance/guidance, seeking out opportunities, reflecting on my own nursing practice and keeping open communication with my instructor and RN. During one of my shifts, I worked with client who wanted to change but was hooked up to a VAC. I recognized that I wasn’t educated on VACs, and was unsure as to whether I could unplug it so she could change. I sought out a RN and charge nurse to help me figure out how to do this. After being guided through the process of what to do, I was able to help the client change. I have also taken the opportunity to reflect on my own nursing practice through my RPN’s. My RPN’s have showed a thorough analysis of my feelings and questions that arise throughout my shifts. In addition, I always make sure to stay in touch with my client’s nurse and my instructor throughout my shift. I chart off at the end of each shift and give report to the nurse. I also took an opportunity to empty a Blake drain on a client who was not my own. I had the RN guide me through it, as it was my first time performing this task.…

    Clinical Skills

    This was a good clarifying question to ask, but perhaps should have been used later on in the consultation when trying to find out more specific details. This would have been a good time to acknowledge the amount of pain the patient was in and recognise the inconvenience for her as she still had to go to work even though she was in significant pain. After this, I could have maybe asked what kind of pain it was? Referring to dull, sharp etc but not mentioning the types, letting her describe it herself and if she didn’t understand asking her to explain what the pain feels like.…
