Registered Nurse Do you remember being a child and constantly being asked “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Well I was the kid that always gave a different answer every time. I was always undecided regarding the career that I wanted to pursue. As I got older I realized that I wanted to have a career in the medical field. Being a nurse interests me because it requires the study of the human body, it is respected and because I find fulfillment in being able to help those who are in need. Once I started researching a career in nursing I realized that there were a lot more types of nurses then I had originally imagined.
P1 EXPLANATION OF ROLES OF EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION USING THE THREE VIDEOS Effective communication is a conversation in which no one gets confused by the other individual's meaning. For example in the handover video communication would have been even better if there was eye contact at the beginning, which there wasn't. The second thing is to ask clarifying questions to make sure you find out the other person's true meaning however again in the handover video after the new nurse was given a debrief about the patient she did not ask any clarifying questions. Also its important to use key words in the setting which ensures the service user that you know what you are doing, this again is not thoroughly done in the handover video as she refers

Page 1 Counselling sessions were designed to help people work through a range of personal issues from depression, relationship issues, addictions, grief, anxiety and potentially life threatening situations. This reflective essay has been drafted from a real life counselling session, which was undertaken by a professional counsellor. In this reflective essay, I put theory to practice by reflecting and analyzing a fifty minute couselling session. Before the counselling session I was very unsure of what to expect and extremely nervous as I had not previously attended a professional counselling session. On my way to the session, my feelings of nervousness and anxiousness become stronger as I practiced the things that I was planning on saying.
Running head: DEVELOPING EVALUATION PLAN Developing Evaluation Plan David Fullington Grand Canyon University Professional Research Project November 3, 2011 Developing an Evaluation Plan When developing an evaluation plan, the researcher has to understand what changes are going to be made and they must have data prior to any changes that have already been made. It is important to know why the changes have been made and if they have had a positive or negative impact. According to Miguel and Rogan (2009), communication can be an influential tool and nursing skills are essential for attainment of optimistic healthcare objectives to touch others. Effective communication in healthcare is needed to deliver quality client care; nurses
Introduction In this account I will concentrate on an established clinical skill that I have been practicing for many years. Presenting this assignment reflects the assessment and care delivered to a patient within my working practice. Using Gibbs model (Gibbs, 1988) as a working model will allow my thoughts / feelings, evaluation, analysis, conclusion and action plan to be deduced. I will apply critical thinking and underpinning knowledge to evidence based practice and thus concludes with an evaluation of increased clinical competency and personal development. Reflection as a learning tool allows me to identify the positive and negative aspects of my practice and to draw upon previous experiences and apply them to new situations “Reflective practice has, however, the potential to help practitioners in all fields unlock the tacit knowledge and understanding that they have of their practice and use this to generate knowledge for future practice”.
The compiled data should be composed of specific measurements, input from employees as to suggestions for improvement and concerns as well as patient care results and input. The eminence and accessibility of the company’s resources must be evaluated first. Quality improvement (QI) measures the delivery of medical services and the outcomes like patient health status, mortality, and patient satisfaction (Hughes, 2012). Total Quality Management (TQM) is a model, which includes the organization’s management, staff working together as a team, outlines procedures, and policies, promotes methods of intellectual rational, and a modification to produce an atmosphere for excellence (Hughes, 2012). The construction of Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) benefits the process of TQM; with the attitude that every chance an organization has should be an opening for improvement (Hughes,
I observed my RN carefully and how she uses the machine. It’s stated that “Despite this, dignity is seldom defined and there are few guidelines that nurses may use in their practice to safeguard individual patients’ dignity.” (Ballie, L. 2007). And since this was my first time, I felt quite uncomfortable in assisting the task. I felt like a must push myself in doing the allocated tasks since it was my first time watching a patient being showered. I knew that if I was to become an RN one day, I must overcome this uncomfortably, and view it as a natural thing.
the code of practise explain the way that we should be working, I can use them to think about the way i work and compare them to my own work and decide if I need to make any improvements. They enable us to gain professional development and provide a way to identify good practise. Below is a list of example legislations, which are relevant to domiciliary care, and residential services. You should be aware of these laws, and how they relate to your role. These make up standards to follow for good practice in your working practices.

This reflection is based on the Gibbs Reflective Cycle (1988) model.1,2 The Gibbs reflection model consists of six stages to complete one cycle, which facilitates in my ability to improve my nursing practice continuously and learning from the experiences for better practices in the future.1,2 The cycle starts with a description of the situation, analysis of the feelings, an evaluation of the experience, an analysis to make sense of the experience, a conclusion of what else could I have done and final stage is an action plan to prepare if the situation arose again.2 Reflection is to generate practice knowledge, assist an ability to adapt new situations, develop self-esteem, adding value and professionalizing practice.1,2 However, O’Connor2 explain that reflection is about gaining selfconfidence, identify when
