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.

Nurses face ethical dilemmas everyday at work. Keeping all that in mind, to guide nurse in their work operation, there are some values.

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.

Teamwork may be one of the most important professional characteristics in healthcare. Nurses act as advocates for the rights of their patients and are frequently involved in ethical issues and ethical decision-making processes.

Roles of the Professional Nurse Task 3 ROLES OF THE PROFESSIONAL NURSE 2 Promoting Interdisciplinary Care To focus on the interdisciplinary care, every staff member in the clinic must be in conjunction with each other. One of my job duties as a nursing supervisor would be to make sure that all staff members are striving for the same goals for the patient. Interdisciplinary care provides a formal and organized approach to patient care.

Where clearly has brought a difficult situation to the healthcare team of the hospital raising ethical and legal issues in all aspects due to the fact that the parents of the pregnant teen have refused any assistance and the nurse assigned has complied silently. This scenario compromises patient safety and puts the minor and child in medical danger. Not only are the lives of the minor and the teen in danger but also it raises an ethical issue of the hospital and patients’ rights. It would make sense to attempt to provide all medical attention necessary to promote patient safety for the sake of the minor and unborn child but also it is important to evaluate the legal liability of the hospital to determine if the parents have all the rights and responsibility in decision making for their daughter.

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.
I will be discussing my personal nursing values which I believe to be the holistic characteristic of nursing. Education is one of the major key in nursing roles. Having a good nursing education background is considered essential to prepare a newly graduate nurse to work in a hospital. It is the responsibility of the nurse to apply the skills and knowledge acquired from school to the work place in order to render an effective care. Knowledge can give nurses greater confidence to take action and absence of knowledge can leave nurses powerless to provide a safe and high quality care.
