The service learning project (SLP) of nurse residency programs (NRP) conducted for Fitzgerald Mercy Hospital (FMH) presented opportunities for learning‚ growth‚ and teamwork for the members of group four.

His grunting had made the nurse more aware

the role of a nurse is intensely rewarding‚ but not without its challenges.

(Purtillo pg.10) The Code of Ethics as mandated by The American Nurses Association is the outline for ethical practice and morals in nursing.

This does work most of the time‚ but there will be times that the moralities will conflict. A moral compass is the key component to ethical decision making and practice for nurses’ .Moral duty and virtue

I believe one of the hardest aspects of being a nurse is having to deal with a patient’s death‚ especially if it’s unexpected‚ and you have grown close to them. Although I am not a nurse‚ I do know the pain of losing someone dear to me‚ just as every individual does. As a new nurse‚ of course‚ it would be difficult to handle a sudden and bloody patient death. As of right now I don’t know how I would handle it because I have not had to face such a situation.

Pursuing a career in the field of nursing can be very rewarding. Schreiber and MacDonald (2010) describe a theory that involves how a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) practices nursing to connect with patients “while keeping vigil over them” during surgery. A common misconception about being a nurse anesthetist is that very little patient to provider interaction occurs. People assume that CRNAs must not enjoy interacting with patients‚ since the patient is under general anesthesia
