Conclusions. We conclude that oral shift reporting may be an important learning opportunity. This is especially true when nursing students engage in professional discussions with their colleagues and superiors. Our findings suggest solutions to improve the learning value of the oral shift reporting process for nursing students. Relevance to clinical practice.
Review of Nursing Education: A Journey to Professionalism Through Experience Ana Lujan University of North Carolina Charlotte Being a nurse requires engaging the classroom knowledge base with lab-based learned perception, and – most importantly – skilled, ethical action gained in clinical practice. Herein, we will discuss the complexity of nursing by reviewing Benner’s learning model in nursing education as presented in Handwerker’s 2012 article. Abstract categorization of knowledge further enforces the emphasis on content and places the students as passive recipients of theory (Handwerker, 2012, p .6), rather than active learners developing in a more clinical environment. An educational practice gap exists and students feel that clinical practice is totally separate from what was learned in formal education settings (Benner et al., 2010: Gordon. 2005; Spouse: 2001).
1. Introduction Significance of effective clinical teaching, some strategies to motivate staff nurses in conducting quality clinical teaching, and the ways to evaluate the effectiveness of the strategies would be discussed in the paper so as to improve the quality of clinical teaching from the perspective of a ward manager. Significance of Effective Clinical Teaching Effective clinical learning is the core of nursing education. The quality of clinical teaching can greatly affect the students’ competency, their personal development and either facilitates or hinders the students’ decision on whether to regard nurses as their lifelong career. Clinical placement can function as a gap between theory and practice in basic nurse education (McKenna, n.d.).
ARTICLE CRITIQUE: “WHAT COUNTS AS AN EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION IN NURSING” BY O’HAGAN ET AL By Student’s Name Course Name + Number Professor’s name University name City/State Date Article critique: “What counts as an effective communication in nursing” BY O’Hagan et al Introduction Nursing fraternity forms an important part of healthcare sector. Apart from the professional skills, effective nursing practices involve other issues such as good relationship between nurse and patients. Treatment administration can be more successful when a nurse understands specific needs of a patient. This can be achieved through an effective nurse-patient interaction. O’Hagan et al.
In this paper, I will discuss about patient teaching that I have done as a student nurse at Antelope Valley Hospital on the Medsurg Unit. Some of the teaching are how to promote a productive cough with deep coughing technique, how to use an incentive spirometer, explanation of Thoracentesis procedure, the importance of HbA1C in diabetic management and lastly, teaching of noninvasive technique to help with urinary retention and the use of straight catheterization. Patient teaching is one of the many important elements in nursing care. Nurses provide and teach basic health information pertaining to the patient’s condition and demonstrate important self-care techniques to the patient so that they can independently perform to take care of themselves. With this knowledge, the patient can self-promote their wellbeing.
The curriculum concepts are ideas and/or traits that characterize a successful nurse. The concepts, or outcomes, are measured for future nurses to reach the optimal knowledge and skill nursing professors are willing to give. Caring, the first outcome, allows nurses to perform their skills without bias. Communication, another outcome, is a valuable way nurses
Next to conclude this assignment one will go on to assess the contribution of motivational interviewing to nursing practice. Motivational is defined as “a skillful clinical style for eliciting form patients their own good motivations for making behavior changes in interest of their own health”. (Rollnick et al 2008). Motivational interviewing was developed by professionals working in the area of addiction. Theses specialists were focusing on patients particularly with alcohol addiction.
The symptom is usually what brings the patient to seek out health care (Humphreys et al., 2008) and adherence to treatment by the patient is crucial. The nurse who provides a biopsychosocial view of the symptoms to help the patient better deal with their symptoms is imperative to this adherence. The Theory provides many target areas for research and furthers our knowledge of the development of symptom management. To provide a greater understanding
These beliefs, values, and practices influence the health promotion and disease prevention in which they seek (Edelman & Mandle, 2010). The assessment of these practices is an essential role nurse’s play in caring for each individual and family. By using the family focused approach the nurse can determine the support and care a family can provide to the patient. The nurse can then assess the family’s potential of obtaining optimal health. The purpose of this paper is for the nurse to complete a health assessment of a family by using Gordon’s 11 functional health patterns and the system’s approach.
Introduction Therapeutic communication is the corner stone of good practice and paramount to the provision of good care. Doheny et al. (2007) observed that when certain skills are used to facilitate communication between nurse and client in a goal directed manner,the therapeutic communication process occurs. According to McCabe (2004) patient centred communication is a basic component of nursing and facilitates the development of a positive nurse - patient relationship. Nurses have a great opportunity to shape the future of the nursing practice through therapeutic communication Armold&Boggs, (2011).
