One of the major roles of APN is to ensure the staff competencies by refining and facilitating the nursing practice with support and supervision on the ward staff. Encouraging and motivating them in update their knowledge and skills, strive for continuous improvement for both themselves and the standard of care in ward. Thus, to create a harmony working environment for the staff
Therefore, nurses should be up to date with knowledge, skills and attitude by introducing significant evidence into their practice (ONMC 2011). Nowadays, health organization systems are guided by a philosophy statement which contains beliefs, thoughts and values (Huber 2006, p.224). The philosophy of an organization plays an important role for nursing practice as it directs the nurses towards a shared goal (Huber 2006, p.224). For instance, if the mission contains a statement about patient quality care, therefore, all employees will be involved to achieve the mission. Through consistent philosophy, all health care providers will strike to deliver high quality care.
I will be a nurse; I will be taking care of people and helping them with their physical and emotional need and I will make them feel as much comfortable as possible. For me nursing is life, nursing is education, nursing is caring for people and understanding what patient is in need for; that is how I would define nursing. My main goal in this point of life is to finish my nursing education and become a good nurse. I am highly inspired by the nurses and their beliefs and the way of communication with patient here. My values will always consider patient first, for me patient’s need and interest is always my first priority, therefor altruism is greatest value for me as a part of nursing.
Professionalism is vital to be at the top of your game. Challenges are important also. Higher education has many benefits that will enable me to reach my potential. I believe the outcome of earning my degree will depend upon my determination. Achieving this goal is important to me.
NVT2 Task 1 One of the nursing standards of practiced that I feel applies to my role in this case is Standard 7. Ethics. “The registered nurse practices ethically.” (ANA, 2010, p. 47). The competencies that are outlined in this standard of practice mean that that I, as the nurse, should uphold, protect, and preserve all my patients’ rights, including their beliefs, their values, and their right to self determination. I should speak up and take appropriate action when needed.
My Role as a Care Assistant During my time as a care assistant working within the care home, I have come to understand the different aspects of my role. As a care assistant, it is a part of my role to work independently and as part of a team to ensure that the needs of the residents are identified and met. According to the Royal College of Nursing, the role of the care assistant should involve working as an “integral part of the nursing team.” I agree with this statement because as I have progressed within this job role, I have come to understand the importance of liasoning with the nurse on duty. As a care assistant, it is vital that I ensure I report any concerns I have about any of the residents’ health. For example, if a resident was developing a pressure sore, it would be my responsibility to report this concern to the nurse on duty.
