My Road to Professional Nursing U of M Flint For as long as I can remember the world of medicine has been part of my life. This, along with a calling from God, is what I believe led me to become a professional nurse. As a young child I remember my father telling us about the ambulance runs and fires he was a part of as a firefighter/EMT/paramedic. I loved these discussions. I especially loved the look my dad would have on his face when he shared about how they were able to save a life, put out a fire, or be a comfort to the person injured or the family members watching and waiting.
University of Phoenix Material Personal Philosophy of Nursing Worksheet This is a philosophy of nursing that reflects the beliefs and values of your name Today’s date is October 14, 2010 I chose nursing as my profession because nursing is about caring for others in their time of greatest need. It is one of few professions in which you can go home each day and be happy for what you did. Although you may not realize it, but you have affected the patient’s life in some way. Nursing is about healing and curing the patient’s symptoms of disease or illness. In my nursing class, I learned that doctors cure the sickness and nurses cure the patient.
This essay will argue that Huttmann made a wise decision and did not commit a crime. She made a very difficult decision to free Mac of his misery and live with a peaceful conscience. During the 80's euthanasia was not a common procedure for hospitals. There are patients like Mac who are very ill and transformed from a strong, young person in to a skeleton trapped in a hospital bed. When people are very sick and have to lay in bed for months without showing a bit of progress, as in the majority of the cancer cases, they are in agony.“The Doctor believed that life must be extended as long they have the means and knowledge to do it” (Huttmann 114).
As you can see what is the point of the hospital sending her very important news about her kid’s health if she could not read the letter (Kozol 257)? Also, as much as knowing how to read is beneficial; knowing how to write goes hand in hand. In his story Laura (the mother) is on welfare to help her with all the expenses and the rent she has to pay to stay at the Martinique Hotel that houses nearly 400 hundred homeless families. During her time there she gets a letter from the welfare office stating that her benefits have been taken away. Her benefits could still be there if she had known how to read and write.
Her medical history included advanced senile dementia and severe heart problems with a ‘DO NOT RESUSCITATE ORDER”. She was added to the operation list and the procedure was scheduled to take place towards the end of the day but the patients relatives who accompanied the patient was not informed of the decision either by the nursing or the surgical staff. She consented to having surgery with the medical staff but told the nursing staff that she had changed her mind. The nursing staff informed the consultant, which is in accordance with the Nursing and Midwifery Code of Conduct, which states that, we must work with others to protect and promote the health and well being of those in your care, by making referrals to another practitioner when it is in the best interest of
She thought that was the best idea and would tell me all of the wonderful things nurses would do. Naturally I lo e helping people and as a child I knew that grandma also knew. We would play pretend and I was always the nurse and she was always my patient. So even from a very young age I have been told and encouraged to grow and do wonderful things with my life and if being a nurse is what I wanted then that’s what I could be. As I grew older I would always love to watch the Discovery Channel, watching Discovery Health and a show Called Birthday.
Before this she had, as documented in her notes, only accessed maternity and antenatal services three times. My mentor and I took over her care forty minutes after her arrival, when she was 4cm dilated, and were informed that Edivania expected to have a vaginal delivery. We were also made aware that she was unable to converse, as her understanding of English was limited. Edivania was single, and although a friend had accompanied her to the labour ward, acting as translator, she had to leave after two hours. This left me as Edivania’s only line of support; my mentor periodically came to check all was well but primarily remained with another women in our care.
She is now semi-retired, only teaching in the summer. She published her book “Comfort Theory and Practice: in 2003 Katharine Kolcaba’s “Concept of Comfort” unknowing began while she was working on her master’s degree with a class assignment in Introduction to Nursing Theory. She had to diagram her nursing practice using concepts specific to her that included what she hoped her patients would accomplish and how she could help her patients reach those goals. At the time Kolcaba was working as a head nurse on a dementia unit with mostly non-verbal patients. The goal for her patients was Optimum function, a term used to describe a cooperative state where patients could bath, dress, eat and socialize with others.
For instance, my grandmother raised me and when she was sick with kidney disease, she needed me to take her back and forth to her dialysis appointments three times a week. Due to the fact that she was my grandmother, I had to prove that she had raised me and provide the information from her doctor of the seriousness of her condition, and provide her dialysis schedule to my employer to ensure that I would get her to those appointments on time. At first my employer did not want to grant me the time off as I was a key person in the office. However, after talking with the Employee Relations Department and providing everything that was required, I was granted the time I needed with no problems. The Human Resources (HR) departments has been influenced by the FMLA as there has been more request for this leave with the past five years compared to 15 years ago.
But after starting the cardiac system in anatomy class I was hooked. However I was short lived, after finding no local colleges offered a degree in sonography. The idea relieved by my mother in law a nurse manger of a local cardiac cath lab, my true enforcer, in support to education; introduce me to the position of a radiologist cath lab technician. After being introduced to the field by showing for a day I knew it was love at first sight, I wanted to know more about radiology. I found the idea diagnoses imaging amazing because it gives a different perspective on the human body without having to do surgery, and I was fascinate by the suffocated technology and computers used to produce these imagines, I found that the field was a lot more complex then I originally guessed and
