I chose this topic because the required article was suppose to be related to our case protocol in our nursing elective: critical care nursing. Other than that, we all know that family involvement in patient care is very crucial in managing the illness. They serve as the support system or the backbone of the patient in difficult times. From the start of the diagnosis to end of life care the family or caregiver is always there. This article though, talks from the perspective of the caregiver itself. School taught us about holistic and competent patient-centered care, so I’m curious about the side of the ones who are around the patient, who also act like nurses, in times of disease, like heart failure.…
Today, community hospital becomes a fast-paced environment. The growing number of consumers, including the median age from 40 to 41 years old in the American health care system; the community hospital strategic management is a fender-bender with the country economy and politic.

All individuals are affected by their family (Kaakinen, Coehlo, Steele, Tabacco, & Hanson, 2015). Today nurses realize the importance of the family unit on the overall wellbeing of the individual and by including the family into the patients care, it increases the positive outcomes for both (Svavarsdottir et al., 2015). We will review a patient I had many years ago and discuss the child and his health needs in regards to how it affects him, his family, the family functioning and the family interactions with community resources.…

At the age of six, I knew that I wanted to find a career where I would be working with kids for the rest of my life. This was a time when my oldest niece was born and was diagnosed with a mild case of down syndrome. When she was an infant, my mother and I would babysit her and I would care for her as if I was a mother figure in her life.

When I transitioned into high school, I found out exactly which career path I wanted to take. I want to go into neonatal nursing because I am very fond of infants. I feel as though I have experience with children who are born with defects…
