Multiple Abnormal Signs
I had a special experience at the clinical today because I had two patients. The previous patient I had was taken to the emergency room for evaluation, because he had multiple abnormal signs and symptoms. After I observed what the nurse did to take care of this situation, I was assigned to a completely different type of patient. They had completely different diagnoses, different care, and approaching for communication with them are very dissimilar. When my previous patient was having multiple abnormal signs and symptoms including vital signs, I immediately reported to the nurse. When the nurse confirmed, I stayed with the nurse the whole time and observed what she did in this situation. When I was observing her writing on a SBAR, I saw how

    NHS Reflective Essay

    I worked in the imaging department, alongside many professionals for 14 days. The most useful skill I gained from there was my enhancement in communication and confidence in my patient approach. I spent a lot of time with patients as I was responsible for calling out the patient’s name from the waiting room and assisting them to the room they needed to be in. I noticed that most patients had a fearful look on their face, after I engaged in a conversation they seemed much more at ease. That was when I realised the importance of patient communication and how much of an effect it has on their experience at the hospital.…

    Life as a Nurse

    When I arrived to Brunswick Novant Medical Center, it was a nice day, the sun was out and the flowers were in bloom down the pathway leading up to the main entrance. When I walked into the hospital, wearing my scrubs there was a cool chill to the air much different from the outside. It was pretty chilly in there and the building smelled like hand sanitizer. The main lobby was very welcoming with chairs and magazines on the little end tables. The receptionists at the desk welcomed me with an inviting greeting, “May I help you”. I went towards the hall on the left that led to the elevators that took me to the second floor, where the nurse I was going to interview worked at.…

    Patient Shadowing Case Study

    She also commented on items they had in their room and allowed the patient to respond. I did not really care for her style of therapeutic communication because I did not feel like it was genuine and I feel like the patients also felt that way and it did not allow for a trusting relationship. There was no interaction with the nurse and any of the family members so no therapeutic communication methods were observed. The nurse also did not talk to any doctors because there was a charge nurse that had that responsibility. From what I observed from the charge nurse answering the phone was very rude phone skills answering a call out by “We’re in a crisis what do you want”. All I could think of was she better hope that was the phone call for a call out and not a family member or doctor calling. I really do not have any examples of therapeutic communication methods because this facility did not communicate well or efficiently and I was not…

    | Nurses show concern everyday by listening to patient’s needs and worries. Nurses are at the forefront for the patient’s interpersonal needs and are advocates for them in many ways. They keep them informed of their plan of care and ensure their personal safety. Altruism is also demonstrated when working with our colleagues and other health care professionals. Nurses will be cooperative with changing of shifts, schedule changes, and provide teamwork by offering help to colleagues when they are needed (Johnson, Haigh, & Yayes-Bolton, 2007). Altruism is also exhibited by the nurse when he or she puts their patients first by having to sometimes work…

    Reflective Essay: My Experiences In The Medical Field

    Spending time in clinicals with this woman in particular, helping her with her daily routine as well as getting to know her on a personal level developed a bond I will never forget. This woman, 96 years young, was full of wisdom and didn’t hesitate to share it all with me. Through this experience I learned what it meant to be a health care provider and truly care for the person I was helping, even when I had never met them before. I’ll never forget the last day of my clinical rotations as I stopped by for a final goodbye to each of the patients I had helped care for and their reactions. Everyone I had helped was more than grateful for my time spent with them, but Beatrice, my last stop before leaving Toledo hospital, broke into tears telling me how I was the hardest worker she had ever had and how much she would miss our time together. It was that moment that I realized this is want I needed to do with my life and that making a difference in someone’s life through healthcare would be the ultimate high.…
