Reflection Of Guest Speaker: Stefanie Clements
Reflection of Guest Speaker: Stefanie Clements During our class period on November 28th, a classmate’s mother, Stefanie Clements came to talk to our class about her experiences of being a Critical Nurse at Gundersen. Stefanie seemed really passionate about her job and it seems that she has seen and experienced a lot during her six years of being a Critical Nurse. I was really glad that Stefanie took time out of her busy schedule to come in and talk about her experiences, was really eye-opening. During Stefanie’s discussion I learned a lot about what she does and some of the difficult experiences she faced during her time at Gundersen. I leaned that everyone experiences death differently and it can be hard and awkward at times. Also, while

    Now that I have fulfilled my goal of completing my bachelors in nursing, I aim to challenge myself further by obtaining a master’s of science in nursing. The independence and autonomy required to provide high complexity care is crucial in an emergency setting and these traits are what draw me to the role of a nurse practitioner. My experiences as an emergency room nurse have enhanced my knowledge and ability to manage and care for critically acute, as well as chronically ill patients varying in ages from infant to elderly, with different cultural and religious backgrounds. Becoming a nurse practitioner will allow me to continue providing care to varying populations, with a variety of health issues, while still giving me the opportunity to make a difference in people’s health and overall well-being.…

    As I grew up, she also brought me to work with her and I befriended the majority of her coworkers and I specifically remember one named Donna. She and I used to talk and go room to room to see her patients. There I learned what to do and how to talk to patients as well as how to help them recover. I’d ask them questions about their current state of health even though I knew nothing about the human body. I always loved observing all of the nurses and their day-to-day work. Examining the interactions between nurses and patients, or even nurses themselves, had piqued my curiosity because I was astounded by how close the relationships were. This has since developed into a passion leading to a career goal.…

    “So how is he?” Now I am even more nervous I did not expect to be doing this under the watchful eye of a family member that surely would not be happy with any mistakes I might make practicing to be a nurse. How do I respond to his simple question? Then I remember I’m not doing this alone as Jocelyn begins to speak with him. I complete my head to toe assessment and we begin evaluating all the drips and looking up our morning meds. All while answering questions and listening to the concerns of the young man who identifies himself with tears in his eyes as our patient’s oldest son. He squeezes my hand and asks me to do everything I can he just want to talk to his dad again. I think to myself “what can I do I’m just a student nurse?” I remember reading that the sense of hearing is the last to go, so I smile at him and tell him his dad can still hear him and he can talk to him now. He shakes his head yes squeezing my hand one more time and then sits in the chair near the bed. We tried to make the environment and all the tubes and drains less scary after finding out our patient had a 13year old daughter coming in that day to visit him. Throughout the day, while providing care for our patient,…

    I felt as though I knew every face that walked through the hospital doors. I watched as nurses provided passionate care to their patients. However, it wasn’t until members of my own family fell ill that I knew the career path that was meant for me. When my grandfather lay miserable in the hospital bed, I could not help but be touch by the compassionate staff that helped nurse him back to health time and time again. I came to the cessation that I would aid people the same way I feel my father had during his service in the Air Force, but I would do it from a…

    Nurses share the joys, pains, and triumphs of their patients. Everyday nurses show-up for duty, receive their patients, and without hesitation begin to become a valued member of an extended family. I initially went to school with the goal of becoming a medical doctor. At the time, I believed becoming a doctor was the only way I could ultimately give back to my community through my passion for science. The decision to pursue the field of advanced nursing, developed after sharing my concerns about healthcare in the Mississippi Delta with my local family nurse practitioner.…

    I enjoyed the time of talking and getting to know some of the residents. I was able to keep a consistent conversation with my last resident who experienced some feelings of sorrow and sadness because of a loss of her mother who she was really close with. Sometimes it’s enough to listen, understand, and use touch for someone who is hurting. Matthew 5:4-5 states, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth” ((New International Version). This makes me think about how much of an impact a nurse can have on someone’s life. If there wasn’t people who were hurting, there would be no compassion. It’s important to support one another as God would do for…

    During one of the working days in a post op surgical unit, one of the patients fell while he was walking around the unit. With the help of a co-worker who is a BSN nurse, the situation was managed who with her critical thinking understood what had to be done to recover the patient. The patient got transferred to higher level of care and made the condition of the patient stable. If it was not the presence of BSN nurse on the duty, it would have been difficult to analyze the situation and act quickly to save the patient.…

    They were the ones that not only physically cared for him, but most of all made him feel comfortable. By simply and naturally communicating with him, they alleviated and solaced his discomfort and developed an intimate relationship with him. Their sincere curiosity regarding his welfare was a key component to his recovery. Inspired by this, I began to grow a strong desire and vocation to become a nurse. As a nurse, I want to be able to influence and help patients no matter how small or large the impact by embodying the altruism and imbuement that my father’s nurses spread to their patients.…
