Through experience, we develop our skills and knowledge. For most nurses, being able to provide excellent care to our patients is a source of great personal and professional satisfaction. Although team leaders often find opportunities to apply their clinical expertise to direct patient care, their primary responsibility is to facilitate the patient care delivered by members of their team. Competent team leaders are able to look at the big picture. Nurses who assume a leadership role must be able to understand and prioritize the work of the unit as a whole.
I believe that providing the best possible care for each patient should be the primary concern of nursing. In doing so, the environment is crucial in the meeting the needs of the patient. Central concepts of nursing are “person, environment, health, and nursing” ( Masters, 2014, p.48).Careful consideration must be given in educating the patient about the illness. In early years, the responsibility fell upon the physician. In recent years, the responsibility has been transferred to the nurse to manage the patient’s environment in order to promote the patient’s recovery.

Once completing my bachelors of science in nursing, I can continue my long-term goal of becoming a nurse practitioner.

She answered the question differently she answers the question as being a role model for nursing and patients by being an advocate for nursing. I believe the reasons for the different answers are have to do with the fact that each of these nurses work in a different field. One is in a community based setting where she has taken on the role of a manager. The other nurse works in a hospital setting under a manager or charge nurse. The Second question in the interview has to do with working on an interdisciplinary team.
Individuals cannot be thought of exclusively without the consideration of their families and communities that surround them. The person comes to define him/herself by the way one views oneself in interaction with their social group. A nurse’s care must extend beyond the patient and must involve the patients entire support network. The nurse must be mindful of the person’s subjective experiences about wellness, beliefs, values and personal preferences and should involve the person in decisions affecting his/her treatment and recovery. Therefore the person has a more proactive role and is in control of their own wellbeing and their choices are considered and respected by the nurse.
Being a home health nurse is a demanding job and it requires going through an intensive series of training, and having good monitoring and communication skills, as well as knowledge of medical terminology. Home health nursing is for registered nurses and students. An advisory board of the top nurses across the country has been will keep the organization up to date on problems impacting home care in their own states and guide the activities of the group (Home Health Nurses Association). Home health nurses take care of the elderly, disabled, or those people confined to their home so that they can be in the comfort of their own home instead of in a nursing home or hospital. Some home health nurses are trained to work with teenagers with disabilities or children that are recuperating from surgery or a terminal illness (Reeves, 79).
The aim of this assignment is to develop a deeper understanding of client centered-care by exploring its meaning, misconceptions, significance, how it relates to professional caring and how it will influence and affect my practice as a future registered nurse. This will be done by exploring a clinical scenario that I recently encountered during one of my clinical days. As mention above the concept I chose is client centered care because it is an important framework for conceptualizing health care. So what is client centered care? According to the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario Best Practice Guidelines (RNAO BPG), the client is viewed as a whole person; therefore, client-centered care involves advocacy, empowerment and respect for the client’s autonomy, voice, self- determination and participation in decision-making.
