Luke’s strengths also include that they are the largest hospital and private employer in North Dakota. As of 1993, outreach activities at St. Luke’s Hospital were established. These networks included such things as oncology (20 locations), emergency heart services (30 locations) and maternal child care (18 locations). These outreach activities will help them to grow and strengthen their market position. <br> The Roger Maris Cancer Center is a strength of MeritCare.
“Nursing is not for everyone. It takes an intelligent, strong, and compassionate person to take on the illness of the world with the passion and purpose and work to maintain the health and well-being of the planet. No wonder we're exhausted at the end of the day!” (“Nurse Quotes”). Home Health care nurses are trained to provide nursing care for patients in the comfort of their own home. Being a home health nurse is a demanding job and it requires going through an intensive series of training, and having good monitoring and communication skills, as well as knowledge of medical terminology.
This being, I realized I wouldn’t enjoy a job where I’m behind a desk every day, along with doing the same things over and over again. Even if the money is very good, I know I would need a job where it something different every day and I’m helping someone. I know nursing will be a lot of studying, but I can do it and it’ll be worth it for the quality world I want. One day I hope not too long after I
Dignity is an important part of achieving person-centred care as, stated above by the RCN, patients need to feel like they are being listened to and made to feel like any decisions regarding their care are their choice. This can only be achieved through the nurse having dignity and respect for the patient. In order to treat someone with dignity it is vital to treat them as valued individuals and of worth (RCN 2009). The Code of Professional Conduct needs to be adhered to in order to care for a patient in a dignified manner and this can range from covering a patient to protect humility to taking the time to talk and to treat the patient in a private area where they feel completely comfortable (National Health Service 2009). Nurses also need to be aware that dignity can have many meanings to many people and cultures which should be taken into consideration when treating patients from different cultural backgrounds.
I have bills that I need to pay or else I wouldn’t have a job. School is so important to me and that’s why this semester I am going to be trying my best to prove that! Not being able to attend classes affected my grades tremendously and that’s not going to happen! I have one amazing boss right now and all she wants is for me to go to school and get that out of the way, I’m happy that she is actually going around my work schedule it helps me out a
According to Garity (2005), “The nurse’s ability to collaborate with patients, families, and multi/ intra-disciplinary health care professionals in the successful resolution of such dilemmas can affect the quality of health care” (p. 11). The nurse has an ethical obligation to give every patient the same level of compassion, care, and respect regardless of the nature of the illness (Chitty & Black, 2010). Whether or not the nurse agrees or disagrees with the decision that Marianne’s family has decided on, the nurse must ethically abide by the family’s wishes and provide the highest quality of care for her. The nurse’s highest level of commitments is for Marianne at that point. Although competing demands of patient, family, and physician have risen, the nurse’s first priority is always providing care that ensures patient safety and protects the best welfare of the patient.
KOT 1 Task 1 Two strategies that enable a nurse on an interdisciplinary team to exert leadership without occupying a formal leadership position are being a role model and a problem solver. To be a role model you must demonstrate to your peers and coworkers how to do the right thing all the time; to know that making the right decision isn’t always the easiest one to make but it’s the only decision to make. The leaders of the world, musicians and actors are all role models; they are all looked on and modeled after. I want to be a role model in healthcare; I want to be that difference. Problem solvers don’t have to be scientist; they just have to be good at figuring out why things happen certain ways and how you may fix those problems.
An equal nurse-patient relationship is important in order to ensure that safe, effective and personal health care is delivered and that the patients’ needs are appropriately met (The Health Foundation, 2012). Briant and Freshwater (1998) discuss how the development of the nurse-patient relationship may be effected; they further this, stating that everyone differs in regards to their personal boundaries and how they perceive interpersonal interactions from others. In consideration of this, in order for a nurse to develop the required skills in order to form an effective nurse patient relationship, they must recognise the individual boundaries of their patients. The professional expectation of nurses is very high and this is something which is greatly acknowledged within society. The media is very influential in regards to how society perceives nurses; this is something which has altered the image of nursing within the past, (Benison and Voogd, 2008) Appropriate examples of cases which have been focused upon within media will be underlined and discussed throughout this essay.
It’s not he/she place to discriminate, or to treat Sandra differently because beliefs are different. Growing up we were always taught to treat others as you want to be treated. In healthcare I feel it is a lot different. It’s your job to always treat the patient with respect and understand their needs and wants. Although Sandra was not conscious and could not make choices herself, the staff tried contacting her next of kin, when they were unreachable they took matters into their own hands to help Sandra.
Good paying salary is something that was important me. Being a role model to my kids was another really big factor with returning to school. I really struggled with wanting to go back to school. When I really took time and looked at the way the job market is and the way that they economy was falling. I knew that the only way to be successful
