As I read the entries from my reflective journal, I could see how my focus shifted from assisting patient with his basic needs at the beginning of the nursing school to more comprehensive nursing care today. My years of experience in education and later in quality control, influenced values that have translated well into the nursing field. First and foremost are work and client safety. The quality of service, attention to detail, and
This essay aims to discuss about a clinical skill in which I have become competent in practicing during my clinical practicum in a major hospital. I will use a reflective model to discuss how I have achieved the necessary level of competence whilst on clinical practicum. The published model of reflection that I have chosen to use is the Gibbs model (Gibbs 1988). I have chosen Gibbs model of reflection. It is also a common model of reflection widely used within the health professions.
Based on the patient history, these assessments and the results of any tests done, neurologists formulate diagnoses and recommend treatment options. Neurologists usually keep detailed notes about every patient visit for future reference. To keep up with the latest neurological discoveries, neurologists read scientific research either online or in print journals. They also attend conferences and conventions. Some neurologists contribute to research in their field as well publishing case studies or running clinical trials Reflection I chose Neurology because I’ve always wanted to be a Neurosurgeon since I was a little kid, It’s always been my dream job.
Searching in different schools, I found that this program has a bunch of resources not only solid basics of nursing theory , but also nursing practice as well as clinical experience that will give me the opportunity of been successful in different practice situations. The fact of been able to have an integral education, joining theory and practice in the first year of study is one of the reasons I choose this program at Ryerson University. Furthermore, I think Nursing at Ryerson would make me not only a student with excellent communication skills, but also more compassionate, knowledgeable and a health care professional capable to lead and influence the health care field. I am very impressed with all the tools and resource the university has to offer the students experience clinical scenarios and situations as well as the facility of learn and practice nursing skills in an environment almost the same as the real hospital life. Study in one of the leaders in nursing education as is Ryerson University would give me the best education and formation to be a successful professional.

Situational AnalysisThe context of the steroid pulse therapy document is mainly focused on medical research. Primarily, it is written in relation to this type of therapy for patients who receive this treatment and the ones who administer the therapy. The request for the research proposal is addressed several times throughout the document. For example, in the background of this document, the author acknowledges that “Nursing instructions are important for improving patient knowledge related to their diseases and treatments.” The document was clearly written while the therapy treatment was being conducted on separate occasions. This is evident by a few
Research Paper- CHE125 Allison Leigeb The medical field is one of the most important aspects of our society today. It’s a fact that there will always be a need for medical attention and healthcare, no matter the state of the economy or the size of a population. The two careers I decided to research are both in the medical field, and both are stable jobs that have an ultimate goal of helping people heal. They are an orthopedic surgeon and a physician’s assistant. I have personal experience with learning about these two jobs- I shadowed numerous orthopedic sports medicine surgeons and physician’s assistants during my senior year of high school as part as an academic internship.
The model of hypothetico deductive reasoning proposed by Elstein et al., (1978) served as the main frame work for the analysis. The major out come of the study was that although hypothetico deductive method of clinical reasoning appeared to be predominant in diagnostic procedure the collaboration between the therapist and patient occurred at various stages. Also it describes how therapist used collaborative information in patient’s management. This paper explores these findings and relating them to the research in the field of reasoning. This paper also includes discussion of findings, and employment of above mentioned models in physical therapy practise and how it is use full while teaching students in health profession.
Active Listening: More than Hearing, a Process After recently attending a conference for medical professionals, I gained some valuable knowledge to share with the staff regarding active listening and the benefits within a healthcare environment. Listening is a process that requires more than just hearing but involves observation, feedback, and an open mind. “Hearing a conversation is quite natural, but to listen intensely and grasp the essence of the conversation the way the speaker intended you to, is what effective listening is all about” (Workplace Listening, 2014, p.1). The process of active listening requires steps. The first step requires you to show some interest in the purpose of the message as well as the content within the message.
Although I had seen many doctors during these experiences, I do not truly remember one. The people whom I do remember were the nurses. The nurses were the caretakers, who taught me how to use the crutches, constantly checked for my comfort while waiting in pain, and spoke to me in a language that felt soothing and safe. I had always admired this type of work, but never thought I was smart enough or driven enough to follow through with the nursing career path. My college career begins in 1999, and my major initially was biology.
