Weekly Self Reflection
Weekly Self S.O.A.P - A. S- Discuss your SUBJECTIVE feelings for this week:
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.
O - Discuss an OBJECTIVE summary of interventions and skills you performed this week:
This week I was able to assess my patients and …show more content…
I felt I had a grip on my time management. I was able to document right after my assessment with all my patients. I find that this not only helped me remember every detail of my assessment but it also allowed me to go back to the patient at that moment, if I missed a part of my assessment, and finish the documentation. My nurse this week taught me things that I had not learned in the previous semesters. I felt sure of my nursing skills and was thinking “like a nurse”.
P - Discuss your PLAN for improvement, change, new challenges etc.
Like with every other med surg rotation that I have had, I try to take it one day at a time. Learn from my mistakes every day and improve from them. I have learned so much these eight weeks during the different rotations in the ER, ICU and med surg. From being on 1800 med surg and helping a patient transition from being ill to being discharge to being in the ICU and being a part of a code blue, doing compression and having them pass on. I am certain that I will continue learning until the day I retire. I will accept every challenge that comes my way and will not be afraid to ask for help or guidance. I am looking forward to learning more as I develop my career as an independent
