    I chose this topic because the required article was suppose to be related to our case protocol in our nursing elective: critical care nursing. Other than that, we all know that family involvement in patient care is very crucial in managing the illness. They serve as the support system or the backbone of the patient in difficult times. From the start of the diagnosis to end of life care the family or caregiver is always there. This article though, talks from the perspective of the caregiver itself. School taught us about holistic and competent patient-centered care, so I’m curious about the side of the ones who are around the patient, who also act like nurses, in times of disease, like heart failure.…

    Today, community hospital becomes a fast-paced environment. The growing number of consumers, including the median age from 40 to 41 years old in the American health care system; the community hospital strategic management is a fender-bender with the country economy and politic. In the same vein, the Patient protection and Affordable Care Act expansion of health care of many New Jersey’s people have allowed some things that were limited. People with a pre-existing condition and the children who remain on their parent’s insurance until age 26 are some of the examples.…

    I wish my facility would appoint a delegating nurse on every unit. It would put lots of nurses on ease to find the right assistant personnel to delegate what assignment, when, where, and how. Delegation can be very complicated at times that makes it harder for the nurses to make assignments. Instead to ask an assistant personnel to help with a task you end up doing it on your own which can take a toll on you. For instance, when you have a patient ratio of 8:1 can get confusing not only for the nurse, but the assistant personnel as well, especially when obstacles can be identified, such as poor communication, lack of trust, lack of resources, and even lack of experience. Teamwork is imperative when delegating any task that can be accomplished…

    I am a firm believer that in order to best choose what to do with your life, you must first know who you are in life. Self-awareness can help create a happy, balanced, and fulfilled existence on a personal and professional level. This can equate to success on both sides of the spectrum. HCS/449, Health Care Capstone has helped me understand this statistic more clearly and it will be etched in my psyche for years to come. I will aim to expand on this knowledge of self and how I may effectively convey it to the world around me; specifically the world of health care on a management level. I am a: hard worker, high performer, fast past learner, self-starter, team player, and work well under pressure. I am a motivator by choice and possess keen communication skills. I was lastly employed in the health care industry in 2010, to pursuit a BSHA and will return to the industry as a more valuable asset. My extreme passion is sometimes misread as aggression and I am strategically learning to control my passion to fit my environment. The objective of this essay is to answer: what my professional goals are, what job I plan to have in the health care sector, what skills I currently have for this job, which skills I need to change or alter, my plan for ultimately achieving my professional goals, what professional organizations can help me achieve these goals, and what benefit does the career action plan outline?…

    This reflection is based on my observations of the need for of effective communication skills and knowledge of nurses regarding the management of aggression in elderly patients with dementia. Clinician need to be equipped with seclusion, medication and de-escalation skills to be able to manage patient aggressive behaviours safely. I have chosen these particular observations after realising how fundamental they are in implementation aggressive behaviour management strategies in patients. While working in mental health I have observed how effective it is to communicate with a patient as a way of de-escalation during verbal and physical aggression incidents. Ford, Byrt, Dooher, & ebrary (2010) point out that it is imperative for health professionals…

    The men and women in law enforcement professions are the people that are brave, strong mentally and physically, and have the desire to help. It's a selfless, thankless career. The jobs are demanding, and these people are everything from a mentor, hero, to the most hated person within a mile radius. I was able to spend the afternoon with officer Landry at the Vernon department, and also FBI agent Dan Curtain from New Haven. They gave me excellent information and advice. I also got to go on a ride along with officer Landry and gained a lot of knowledge on what an afternoon is like for a police officer.…
