I decided to choose one of my junior staff nurse as my learner. Hana (not real name), she is qualified State registered nurse (SRN) from Private Nursing College. She has been working in our hospital for six month and her appointment has been confirmed as staff nurse in organization. Hana look familiar with the ward facilities and common procedure in ward such as receive new admission, transfer out patient, writing nursing report and assist doctor whenever needed. Hana show interest in learning and willing to be my learner for the purpose of these assignment.
The first career we will be looking at is Midwifery. If you have no previous experience working in healthcare, you will have to do a three or four year degree course that leads to registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). The training covers biological sciences, applied sociology, psychology and professional practice. Study hours tend to be split equally between theory at a university and hands-on clinical practice. During the practical part of the course you will have direct contact with women and their families in hospitals, community clinics and in their homes.
Marie is directing patient centered care, but culturally, Carla prefers her family around her to support her and her help make decisions while Carla is recovering. One of the visitors in Carla’s room may be a partera who is helped Carla with the delivery and is helping with recovery. Carla may even have a trusted family member that will make decisions for her (Potter, Perry, Stockert & Hall, 2013). Delivering care to a patient in a way that is respectful to the patient and their family is crucial for several reasons. Culturally congruent care means taking in to account the beliefs and traditions of the patient and working them into the care plan.
An example of this, when evaluating a patient I determine how many hours of a personal care assistant they will receive per week. I always think about the patient first before thinking about what is going to save my job money; and this is my constant struggle. Altruism is something I believe is the reason I became a nurse. Autonomy The state of existing or acting separately from others. My current job autonomy is necessary.
I will discuss the importance of non verbal communication when providing effective Nursing care to the elderly. As a frame work for this reflection, I am going to use stages of reflective cycle: Description, Thoughts and Feelings, Evaluation, Analysis, Conclusion and Action Plan which will improve my nursing skills by continuously learning from both good and bad experience and develop my self confidence in relation to caring for others. This was the first day of my placement. Lunch arrived on the ward, to be distributed to patients by the care assistants. The Nurse in charge told me that the trust operates a ‘protected meal times’ policy where routine nursing care stops and care assistants dedicates time to serving food and helping them to eat.
I watched the nurse’s and talked with them about what they did and how they did it (and how much money they made). That was when I decided what I wanted to do. I wanted to be an ER Nurse. Prior to becoming a nurse, I had the opportunity to become a Certified Respiratory Therapist. I felt that would benefit me as I went to nursing school.
CW2 1500 word academic evaluation of the teaching session This paper will academically evaluate the teaching session “ Recovery and My Shared Pathway (MSP) focused care planning”. The teaching session took place in a small meeting room of ward, those attending were two student nurses, a preceptorship nurse, two health care assistants, a substance misuse worker and a psychologist making a total of seven people.The author also chose to gain professional support from their mentor by asking for a peer supported review to gain insight into their own teaching methods (Peel 2005). Prior to the teaching session during clinical supervision the two students had identified that they were unaware of the “My Shared Pathway,(MSP)” until this placement area, justifying a positive self concept as self-directed adults taking responsibility for their own learning (Quinn 2001). They felt confident with some prior knowledge of the recovery approach, however it was mutually agreed that attending this teaching session would be beneficial to both their current and future practice. By identifying the students learning needs I was also able to recognise what I would have to do to facilitate an environment that would be conductive of learning for everyone.
The researchers obtained a written approval from the ethical committee of the military education and research hospital and got approval from the nursing department as well. They also explained to the participants the study goals and methods with face-to-face communication. They received oral and written consent from the nurses that participated. The data collection form consisted of two parts and was designed to report the perspectives of nurses on medication errors. The first part of the questionnaire consisted of seven questions regarding the participants age, departments, educational levels, work positions, work intervals, average hours worked per month and shifts.
I observed my RN carefully and how she uses the machine. It’s stated that “Despite this, dignity is seldom defined and there are few guidelines that nurses may use in their practice to safeguard individual patients’ dignity.” (Ballie, L. 2007). And since this was my first time, I felt quite uncomfortable in assisting the task. I felt like a must push myself in doing the allocated tasks since it was my first time watching a patient being showered. I knew that if I was to become an RN one day, I must overcome this uncomfortably, and view it as a natural thing.
