I recall providing patients’ personal hygiene by giving bed baths, bedpans, and brushing teeth. Providing patients’ stability by checking vital signs, absorbing and recording intake and outtake

Working as a certified nursing assistant really helped me grow and it is one of the most rewarding jobs I’ve had, it also was very challenging at times. As I said before I struggle with anxiety, but working as a nursing assistant pushed me to overcome some of the fears I had of communicating. I learned really quick when working in a nursing home you strongly need the ability to have good communication skills because without it you can’t communicate with the charge nurses, the residents or the other C.N.A’s. Everyday that I worked there I used different forms of communications such as body language which I learned says a lot about what a person is feeling.…

    Nursing organizations must provide five functions including delivering excellent care, coordinating and monitoring interdisciplinary care, educating patients, families, and communities, maintaining the nursing organization, and improving nursing performance. Nurses provide a safe, effective, patient centered, timely, efficient, and equitable contribution in delivering excellent care. They’re able to deliver this quality of care by implementing the nursing process; a system of assessing patients, diagnosing individual nursing care needs, planning care, implementing plans, and evaluating care. A broad view is preferable to design, implement, and evaluate patient care by coordinating, delegation, and supervising the care provided by the healthcare team.…

    It was a regular morning like any other in the hospital, the shift change was at 7 am, but many of us (workers) used to arrive earlier to enjoy the coffee that was made by "Albita" a great person, humble and hardworking. We usually sat in the dining room and we made jokes as we prepared to work all day. In the shift change we transfer the information from the previous shift, discuss about patients, psychiatrist decided changes in the medicine, the therapy was also discuss and who was going to be released from the hospital, so most of the patients were always very anxious for that meeting because most of them wanted to be release. I would say that almost all patients want to run out of mental hospitals, no matter what kind of mental illness they have, and to achieve this, they do several things, such as trying to hide delusions, bizarre conduct or maladaptive thoughts, among others.…

    My mom taught me to live by the Golden Rule; do unto others as you would have them do unto you. I have lived by this rule all my life. I have never had a problem getting along with others and treating them with respect until I started my nursing career as an LPN. I started working at the local hospital, working night shift. I really enjoyed going into work, helping the patients with their needs. I enjoyed visiting with them and finding out what would make their stay better. Then one day the supervising nurse in charge of the floor took me aside and told me to stop visiting with the patients. I was thinking to myself okay there has got to be a good reason behind this. She told me the patients need their sleep and they don’t need me to visit with them and keep them awake.…

    Nursing as a career is chosen for many different reasons. Some are interested in the human body, and others want to help those in need. The nursing experience is one not easily forgotten, but often taken for granted. Nurses and their value have been weighted more heavily in the past 10 years for its relevance to the survival of medicine. The nursing shortage has created a national outcry for the need to encourage nursing as a career. “As the nursing shortage peaked nurses who were left at the bedside found working conditions unacceptable and many left the profession in search of other work”.(Allen, Jan-Feb 2008, p. 35) The shortage gave rise to the nurse being recognized as a valued and need professional. The RN to BSN programs now available to all working RN’s helps development nurses behaviors and skills as trained professionals. Before this course my nursing practice was on auto polit. I arrived to work, and started my assignment the same way every day. I start by assessing all patients assigned to me, then review their medication, and last administer prescribed medication. I would give education when it was warranted. For instance, if a patient had received a new Foley catheter and was going home with the catheter I would education them on home use. After my transition to professional nursing I recognized the legal responsibility to safe guard the patient. After this class I increased the need to make evidenced based practice (EVP) guidelines applicable to every aspect of my nursing care. My interactions with patients during this class involved how I could use EVP to safe guard my patients and provide a high level of professional nursing care. The RN-BSN program is helping me mature and develop my nursing practice as a professional learner who uses EVP to provide the best nursing care possible.…
