Without leadership‚ it would be impossible for nurses to work with other members of the healthcare team and provide their patients with the best care possible. This is why associate degree nurses need to “provide leadership in a variety of healthcare settings to diverse patient populations” (Ivy Tech Community College). According to Asamani‚ Naab‚ and Ansah (2016)‚ there is a dire need for nurses that are capable of leading both themselves and others in patient care. Part of this could possibly be

CARDIAC TUMORS INTRODUCTION Cardiac tumours occur quite rarely‚ with metastatic neoplasms three times more prevalent than primary tumours. A large variety of benign and malignant tumours of the heart have been described. These tumors are found mainly in the heart‚ but can occur in the pericardium or the great arteries. Secondary cardiac involvement from malignant tumors of adjacent organs (lung‚ thymus) or from kidney (Wilms tumor) or liver‚ or even remote organs‚ are also seen. ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY

-1- The first benefits I gained from the simulation lab is the opportunity to get familiar with the environment and equipment in the ICU so that I know what to expect in real patient situation. Second it allowed me to practice how to organize the room to make sure that no tub or lines get pulled during treatment.

For obvious reasons‚ patients that require mechanical ventilation experience agitation and apprehension; because of this‚ these patients commonly need to be sedated.

Simulation Reflection (10/04/17-10/05/17) Simulations have always been a stressful event for me. I never feel prepared enough and being observed behind double sided glass is unnerving. With that being said‚ the first day felt very choppy to me. I was assigned the charge nurse position and spent the better part of the time looking up patient information and planning ahead for what might be needed in future orders. I was a good mental exercise for preparing patient care plans and I did enjoy it. When

Cardiac Cycle The cardiac cycle describes the coordinated and rhythmic series of muscular contractions associated with the normal heart beat. The cardiac cycle can be subdivided into two major phases‚ the systolic phase and the diastolic phase. Systole occurs when the ventricles of the heart contract. Accordingly‚ systole results in the highest pressures within the systemic and pulmonary circulatory systems. Diastole is the period between ventricular contractions when the right and left ventricles

During a cardiac catheterization it is possible for the cardiologist performing the procedure to see how effectively blood is flowing through the coronary arteries. In addition‚ this procedure allows the cardiologists to see how blood is moving through the chambers of the heart and how effective the
