Nursing Review
My overall clinical experience was an amazing opportunity! I learned so many helpful things over the past few months at my placement that I will be sure to take with me throughout my future nursing career. During my experience, I was able to see a writer's workshop first hand, as well as many other subject lessons. I always thought it would be hard to implement writing into many subject areas, but my teacher showed me that it was possible. The class that I was with was a little troublesome, but they got the job done when it came down to it. My teacher displayed wonderful classroom management, which is another thing that I worry about as a perspective teacher. She was able to keep the students engaged in the lessons and keep them on task. A few of the students had minor behavior problems, but it was nothing that she could not handle. My teacher was an organized mess, which is almost identical to me! It was a great experience to be placed with a teacher that was so much like me when it came to organization. My first day at Nathaniel Alexander was not a pleasant experience. My teacher was rushed to get everything finished because they were behind, and she was having trouble out of one of her students. The student was supposed to be on medication, but she had not taken it that day. My teacher explained to me that when that student got out of hand, it caused the entire class to be disruptive. I must say, that day made me rethink wanting to be a teacher. I went with the class to art and they were terrible! The art teacher would tell them to sit down and pay attention and they would just stare at her and continue talking! I tried to help her get them to cooperate, but it was pointless.
I really enjoyed the rest of my time at Nathaniel Alexander. The first week I was there was when I did all of my observations and small group lessons. They went really well and the students seemed really interested in what I was teaching them! The classrooms were so technologically

    The evidence-based practice guideline that I chose is titled, “Myocardial Infarction,” written by the Finnish Medical Society Duodecim. The intended users for this guideline are health care providers and physicians. The target population is individuals with suspected or known myocardial infarction. The objective of this guideline is to “collect, summarize, and update the core clinical knowledge essential in general practice” and “describe the scientific evidence underlying the given recommendations.” (Finnish Medical Society Duodecim, 2008)…

    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.…

    In hospitals, especially emergency rooms and intensive care units, nurses encounter many critically ill patients. “One-fifth of the patients cared for by critical care nurses die in the intensive care unit” (Browning, 144), when these patients are nearing the end of their lives there are many decisions that need to be made by the patient if they are able and their family. Healthcare workers are put under tremendous amounts of stress in these situations, especially when they disagree with what the current code status of their patient.…

    This article, “Relationship between call light use and response time and inpatient falls in acute care settings”, focused on three main points of interest. The first was the use of call lights from inpatients and their families. The second was the nurses’ response time to the call light. Finally, the third was the amount of inpatient falls that occurred. The goal of the study was to determine whether the call light use rate and the average call light response time contributed to the fall and injurious fall rates in acute care settings. The study was conducted in a Michigan community hospital and used archived hospital data for analyses for the period from February 2007 to June 2008. The unit of analysis was unit-week. The results of the study were as follows: more calls for assistance were related to less fall-related harm, longer response time to call lights related to fewer total falls and less fall-related patient harm, and more call light use related to longer response times (3333). So, in conclusion, this study challenged the idea that call lights should be used less or responded to faster.…

    I believe that implementing strategies to promote, maintain, and restore health is key to the nursing career; the main goal of nursing is to improve an individual’s health. In my clinical experience, it’s to maintain the individual’s health issues or diseases. An example of using teaching/learning principles is when taking a resident’s blood glucose a family member asked me what the normal range for blood glucose is. I explained that a blood glucose level between 70-100mg/dL is desired. Then I went on to explain that based of the resident’s blood glucose levels a certain amount of insulin will be administered. I also taught the family member that insulin is a hormone that helps the cells take in glucose; which results in the cell using glucose as energy and a decrease in blood sugar…

    I currently work in a Mother/Baby Labor and Postpartum Unit at a military treatment facility located in Hawaii. The majority of all our patients request an epidural to assist with the pain of childbirth. Since the patients are numb from the waist down, we insert a urinary catheter to monitor output of all patients. The majority of our patients have increased swelling from the vaginal deliver and must keep the urinary catheter in place for additional days. Any of our patients receiving a cesarean section to deliver their baby, usually require hair removal. Due to the lack of funding, we often have to shave our patients instead of using surgical clippers.…

    Health Ed. has been really easy because we have pretty much covered most of that units, even the CPR unit. I have also used what I have learned in this class outside of school mostly with my family because when they would not know what something means I would always be able to tell them what it means. I have also noticed that I understand what my doctors and more specifically what orthodontist is saying during my appointments. I will use what I have learned in this class to my advantage while in college and nursing school. If I could go back in time I would not want to change anything but I would tell my 9th grade self to relax and that I made the right choice, if not one of the best choices so far. I think five years after graduating from Wheeling I will be in the process of getting my registered nursing degree and after ten years I see myself having a nursing job and maybe working as a neonatal nurse if possible by then. In ten years a lot will be different about me but I see myself being in a good place. I really enjoyed being in this program and I am going to miss it, but I am excited that I am moving to CNA next…

    This week I was in 1600, which I have not been on since my first semester. In this floor you see more post surgical patients. I liked the new environment and being exposed to different nurses and types of patients. I was able to take care of 3 patients and feel confident in what I was doing. I believe that because my preceptorship is coming up soon, I have set my mind to think more independently along with feeling more secure in my nursing skills and assessments. Furthermore, having the nurses positive feedback was very reassuring.…

    While in the classes I felt extremely comfortable being around the students and answering questions when they asked me. While being a teacher it is crucial to feel at ease in your work environment because if you don’t it will be almost unfeasible to do your job in a successful manner. Being around the students and helping them when need be was a great experience for me. Almost all of the classroom environments I observed were inconsistent mainly because of the ways the students acted. When the students were well behaved and listened to the teacher it was a positive and beneficial…
