    Pharmacy Technician Research Paper

    I have not always wanted to be a pharmacy tech, I changed my major at least 4 times already. My college years started and stopped a few times since I graduated from high school. I left college the first time and joined the Marine Corps. I served in the Marine Corps for eight (8) years as a Communications Operator. The problem for me there was that I did not want to pursue a career in communications. While I was serving I took some college level course and that is where I went through two of my four college major changes. Some might see that as indecisive, I saw it as trying to find the right fit for me. I have since gotten out of the military and went back to school, since I have begun this new path in my education I have also changed my major twice. I went back to school…

    Registered Nurse Reflection Paper

    I am a Registered Nurse who works on the IV team and provides venous access for patients during the hours of 7pm to 7am at the only hospital in Owensboro, Kentucky. We are an extremely busy organization who has a bed limitation of 300. Keeping the patients safe and to do no harm is a promise we all strive for (Clancey, 2011). By giving medications in a timely manner is a way of providing safety. Patients expect quality care and this nurse wants to provide the best treatment in the most efficient and efficient manner. Regrettably, there is an area of decreased productivity which is causing a delay in intravenous medications. Patients who we consider "frequent flyers" or who have long-standing medical issues such as diabetes, pancreatitis, renal failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or heart disease tend to have many readmissions. Grievously, this means these patients likely have poor intravenous access. If I am not…

    Medicine Management in Nursing

    Finding an interesting and challenging subject for second year transition was not an easy task, as there where many things that I wanted to know more about. Much of the work we had undertaken within university had been focused on long term conditions and the process for patients being discharged from the hospital to home. With this in mind and a great experience on my community placement I wanted to learn more about the role of the community pharmacist. I felt that this would build on my knowledge base, from university, of the discharge process and the management of peoples conditions within the community. I felt that a better understanding of the role of the community pharmacist, would give me greater insight when, in the future, I am involved in discharging patients back into the community.…
