For this clinical I spent time at an outpatient surgery center. I got to observe many medical procedures‚ assist with patient admission and discharge‚ and learn how to complete preoperative and postoperative assessment. In addition‚ I had many opportunities to observe how nurses work as a team‚ so I was able to gain insight on how to deal with stressful situations appropriately. The staff at this clinical was very kind and passionate about what they do. They gave me lots of advice regarding nursing

Clinical Reflection 1. Recall the activity‚ idea‚ or event that gave you the most intense learning “high”. What was it about this situation that was so exciting or pleasing? Working with actual patients is completely different than studying at the tech center and doing labs or bookwork. I liked having an actual connection with the patients while feeling professional. It was hard to be professional with the other students studying at JATC because we are all so close and it is weird to treat a friend

One of the situations I experienced in clinical this week was my conversation with 38 years old man‚ a man married to a nurse‚ a father of three girls and a writer‚ who was in for a dual diagnoses of depression also drug and alcohol use disorder.

Throughout my high school years I dealt with depression. At the start of my sophomore year‚ I was diagnosed with clinical depression‚ a type of depression that is linked with fatigue. While in social settings‚ internally there was an urge to lay down and rest‚ while on the outside I was perky and all smiles! I was without goals and always off with friends to distract myself; feelings did not phase me because I was used to shutting them out. My mother decided after a while that I needed help to get

After this experience‚ the rest of the clinical shift went astonishingly well. With that great self-confidence and the motivation to efficiently accomplish all the other tasks‚ I realized that the coordination with my partners was the primary influence towards my self-esteem today. My partners and I communicated with each other on every aspect to clarify and divide responsibilities. We started the shift by splitting up and individually going into the patient’s room to wake them up and ask if they

My clinical rotation at White Memorial Medical Center was a memorable experience for me. The nurses that I was assigned to or shadowed were very kind with sharing their experiences as well as their knowledge when it came to taking care of children. My first day at White Memorial Medical Center‚ I was lucky enough to be picked by the charge nurse named Robbie at the PICU. She picked two more students to shadow her nurses. She had four patients ranging from ages 3 months to 15 years of age. I had a

Clinical supervision according to Machado & Botnarescue (2011‚ p. 56)‚ “was initially promoted to improve instructional practices by providing supervisors with a structured and cooperative approach”. I am struggling as to what to say to Ms. Jones based upon her performance. Since my evaluations are short and sweet with little needing improving‚ I find it hard to be on the other end of an evaluation. First‚ I would sit down and provide Ms. Jones with the checklist that we were given and go down

1SA1a. During my clinical rotation a significant change I noticed in a patient was a decrease in blood pressure while exercising. Prior to exercise my patient had a blood pressure of 115/60mmhg. While running on the treadmill his blood pressure had dropped to 82/55mmhg. I alerted the nurse of his blood pressure immediately after taking the blood pressure. The nurse was aware and said it has been ongoing. We assessed the patient who was lightheaded‚ gave him some water and told him to stop exercise
