The hospital had a hard time retaining employees and one motive for the class was helping new nurses feel more comfortable and helping us have meaningful, fulfilling employment. In this class we learned about a lot of things but we learned about Julia Brenner’s theory and it has always since stayed with me. I now work in the recovery area of a much larger hospital and have worked in several departments. I have gained a lot of great experience and I have seen my growth described by Brenner’s model. Most importantly though, is probably the fact that I borrowed ideas from that class and from Brenner’s model and have instituted parts into the orientation of new staff-members within my current department.
My current job autonomy is necessary. Working in hospitals and nursing homes the majority of my nursing career, becoming completely autonomous was like culture shock for me. In a hospital you have co-workers, doctors, PT, Pharmacy all at your fingertips for information or advice and just help. Working out in the community was hard for me at first because I was not use to being completely alone. I did learn a lot with this job and have grown tremendously, since starting.
We will be faced with many challenges as we enter the work force from the role of student nurse to registered nurse. I think as of right now two of my greatest challenges I see coming my way will be learning how to manage my time on the floor appropriately and when or when not to call the physician. Thank fully, I am going to have a preceptorship period in which hopefully I can get a better handle on how nurses manage their time and their use of critical thinking skills in every situation. By having this 96 hour experience before I graduate is a wonderful way to practice my skills but still have a registered nurse with me every step of the way. From my observations during my clinical rotations I think that time management is something
Students and parents need to be advised of this requirement so that students are not left without access to critical medication. For further information see storage of prescribed medication. A letter (Ms word 107kB) to parents/carers has been prepared to confirm arrangments for the administration of the student's medication at school. It is the principal's responsibility to fully inform relevant staff of the management implications of students requiring the administration of prescribed medication. Except in an emergency, only individual staff members who have volunteered and been trained, will administer prescribed medication to students.
A Day in the Life of a PACU Registered Nurse A Healthcare Interview Felisa Spencer HCS/325 August 23, 2015 Tamica Lewis A Day in the Life of a PACU Registered Nurse While sometimes being a nurse takes away from their home life because of the hours they have to work, Registered Nurses are a very important part of the PACU (post anesthesia care unit). The PACU receives all ages of patients who receive anesthesia in the operating rooms. This paper will explains that after general, epidural or spinal anesthesia, how all patients should be recovered in a specially designated area (henceforth 'post-anesthesia care unit', PACU) that complies with the standards and recommendations. This is where the Registered Nurse come in to play after the
The course curriculum is extensive. Class time is not available to repeat lecture material. In doing homework, students will be expected to apply the principles that they have learned to complex problem solving. The use of MyMathLab will help you significantly if you use all the resources it has available.

There is much to consider in Bloom’s Taxonomy that we do every day in our professions without realizing. “In nearly any circumstance in which an instructor wishes to move a group of students through a learning process using an organized framework, Bloom’s Taxonomy has proven to be invaluable” (Bouchard, 2011, p.1). Our most important area in our job is being able to teach our patients. We need to assist our patients to learn how to live a higher quality of life while managing their chronic illness in a more productive manner. References Bloom B. ed.
Integration the Use of Evidence-Based Practice Shela C. Harris Chamberlain College of Nursing NR351: Transitions in Professional Nursing Spring 2011 Integration the Use of Evidence-Based Practice “The most important practical lesson that can be given to nurses is to teach them what to observe” (Nightingale). Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) is the wave to the future of practicing nursing. Researching prior to each task is not a logical task to perform during nurses’ daily activities, however there must be confidence that all information is current and from EBP. It can take almost 20 years for research generated knowledge to move into field. This is an extremely large gap that requires narrowing; bridging this gap can be done through
Registered Nursing requires basic schooling but they are continuously educated on important medical procedures, laws, and regulations. Education, never ends for anyone in the medical field including Registered Nurses. Continuing Education (CE) is required every renewal period for Registered Nurses. RN'S are required to complete 24 hours of appropriate CE during each
