Aha Moments In Nursing
I am so happy to see you passionate about patient care. I love how you stated that your patients were your number one priority. I feel that is so important in the nursing world. I think your doing a great job in applying the concepts of decision making, time management and priority setting to your every day nursing practice. All of those concepts are essential in providing effective patient care. I am glad to see you learned about a concept that you were unfamiliar with before. Critical care nursing isn't easy and you will continue to grow and always learn new things. One of my "aha" moments was seeing how my own beliefs about nursing align with the nursing theories that were already established. Good luck in your

    YIT1 PROFESSIONAL ROLES AND VALUES

    My personal nursing mission statement is changing and developing as my career advances, however, one core piece will remain constant. I will strive to provide the best, safest, most ethical and compassionate nursing care that I can for all patients and family members with whom I come in contact. I began my post-high school academic career as an accounting major. I enjoyed the challenge of manipulating a report until I had balanced. I thought I had found my calling. As my first semester was nearing an end, I found myself contemplating the thought of sitting behind a desk all day. I wondered if I would find fulfillment in this work as a career? The more I pondered this thought, the more I realized that this was not the right career path for me. I saw images of the medical assistant program in the catalog at the school where I was attending. I could not shake the thought of the medical field for a profession. I attained my medical assistant degree and worked in the field for 10 years. The longer I worked, the more I realized that there was more that I wanted to do, but my current degree restricted me from going further. I researched nursing school programs and selected one with a night/weekend program that would allow me to continue working full-time during my studies. I have a family that I needed to continue to provide for and this seemed to be the best fit. My nursing school decision was fortified when I was selected for an award by the nursing faculty from all four semesters for excellence in the clinical setting. After graduation, I began my nursing career working as a case manager for orthopedic worker’s compensation patients. During this time I gained critical knowledge of the importance of clear documentation, the ever-changing requirements of insurance companies and an extra measure of compassion for…

    Reflection On Nursing 201

    After leaning about each concept in Nursing 201 I have become more competent than before about the profession of nursing in areas such as evidence based practice, patient centered care and many other areas. I think after learning about patient centered care and the nurse-patient communication I am better prepared to interact with patients. Some things that I find to be especially helpful are to not ask close-ended questions or anything that will result in a simple yes or no, use general leads, use silence and to paraphrase and reflect what the patient says.…

    Summary: A Career As A Medical Assistant

    Being in the medical field for the past ten years, I have seen the growth and changes in the medical field. When I began my nursing career as a medical assistant, I noticed many other nurses continuing their education to be able to have greater hands on approach in nursing. This opened my eyes to the endless possibilities that a nurse can do, whether it’s with direct patient care or being a resource to patients and other nurses around. After completing my RN in May of 2015, I decided that I really enjoyed being a mentor and teacher to other nurses. That is why I am continuing on with my education in hopes to one day receive my Master’s degree in Nursing and be able to utilize the knowledge and skills that I build, to educate patients. I still…

    Advanced Degreed Nurses Improve Patient Safety 2

    Nurses have an obligation to patients and to patient’s families to deliver competent and safe quality of care. The American Association of Colleges of Nursing stated “education has a significant impact on the knowledge and competencies of the nurse clinician.” (Fact sheet AACN). My choice to return to school is a direct reflection on my commitment to give the absolute best care possible. In my nursing career I have been privileged to work as both a floor nurse and a management nurse each requiring their own level of nursing and understanding of all aspects of patient quality.…

    Nursing: Human Error In Nursing

    Human error in nursing is usually unavoidable, unpredictable and unintentional. Further, some risks include language barriers, neglecting to follow the policy, in a hurry to complete the task. As a supervisor, I encountered a nurse who gave a patient the wrong medications. The error occurred when the patient answered to the wrong name, and the nurse failed to check the patient’s identification bracelet. Other errors can include carelessness on the behalf of the staff as well as not taking the time to listen to the patient (Raso & Gulinello, 2010). Therefore, the aims of the risk management are to reduce as well as prevent any risk to patients and the health facility. Risk factors may result in financial loss, preventable…

My enthusiasm for nursing first took root and flourished after losing my father. My father became very ill and needed medical care.

    My Nursing Experience

    My daddy served in the Navy during WWII. When the war was over he returned to states and was immediately hospitalized. He was so young and had experienced things he never wanted to think about again. However, he always complimented the nurses that took care of him. They helped heal his body, but more importantly they helped to heal his spirit and soul. I cannot count the times he said, “I want one of you girls to be a nurse,” and I knew it was going to be me.…

    My Nursing Experience Essay

    I was hospitalized for three weeks at Seattle Children’s after enduring emergency surgery to remove a rare tumor in my large intestine. What I figured was random stomach pain was life threatening. Since I have endured so much in my life, it is not easy for me to be emotional. When I found out that I needed surgery in a mere few hours I did not know how to process my emotions. Being in the hospital taught me that I need to take what may seem meaningless as something that could be serious. I learned to face emotions instead of avoiding them. Throughout the time I was at Children's Hospital the nurses played a vital role in not just my physical, but my emotional recovery. Nurses take the responsibility for your life, and give hope that you will recover. The nurses that I met had deep and powerful relationships with each patient and played a valuable role in all measures of care. Nursing is a career composed of leadership, integrity, and non-stop learning. As a patient I was able to observe over 30 nurses and their interactions with other patients. It inspired me that one person can have such an astonishing impact on numerous people. As a future career, I hope to be a registered nurse at Children's Hospital to assume the role that I so admired of my nurses.…
