Reflection About My Clinical Experience
To begin, when I first started this clinical experience I had no idea what to expect. I was slightly terrified; I did not feel like I was prepared for this experience. The biggest the reason behind this was the Nurse Management class was mainly writing papers; this worked on our research skills, but did not prepare me for the clinical portion. I am still terrified when I go to do clinical hours just because I do not want to disappoint Deb, my clinical preceptor. Plus at times I still feel like I am unsure of what I am doing. I have to remind myself that I have only done twelve hours at this point in

    On my first day of clinical ride time after we dropped off our first patient at the hospital and had given turn over I asked Bruce, “Do you ever wonder what happens after we leave?” He gave me a shrug and a knowing smile replying, “Sometimes but you will get used to it.” To me it felt unfinished. What was going to happen to the patient, would they be admitted, would they be sent home, what would their quality of life be? As an EMT these questions have always intrigued…

    Sounds pretty similar to the agency I work for but it sounds like you had a lot more training then we did. Oddly, I was never asked or told to shadow anyone however, I did have a few nurses shadow me. I asked these nurses about it and they told me they weren’t getting paid for their time and I thought that was a little bizarre. I’m guessing that many agencies do not pay people for training after hearing your experience was similar to…

    “Curiosity is one of the permanent and certain characteristics of a vigorous intellect.” The curiosity that Samuel Johnson refers to in this quote is something that I feel itching at me every day, especially since I have begun my journey in the world of medicine. Through my experiences, I have realized that Internal medicine is the field in which I will be able to use my compassion towards others, not only to help them, but also to constantly nourish my own curiosity for medical knowledge.…

    I believe I worked on your floor last semester because I recall such a change being discussed. I did not realize the hospital is interested in changing vital signs time for the entire hospital! I can see how moving the time to 0600 would delay the night PCTs from finishing their work and the day nurses from starting their shift. Collecting vitals and blood sugars while managing meal times and shift change sounds like a time-consuming task. However, I can see this as a potentially effective change since the day nurses would receive the most recent vitals and updates about their patients. I am curious about how long the hospital plans for to test the change on the unit. Perhaps over time the unit would adjust to the change? It appears fortunate…

    1. Describe a situation that you had in clinical that was directly related to content you discussed in one of your classes. Address whether what you experienced was congruent with what you have learned in class, or whether there was incongruency. If there was an incongruency: Why do you think the difference exist? When theory and practice are not congruent how does it affect the care your patient receives (in your particular situation)?…

    I am curious to see what kind of qualitative research you will find in this upcoming week. Qualitative evidence answers clinical questions about human experiences (2015) and helps us to gain insight on participant’s feelings and opinions. I am wondering how children will actually feel about nonpharmalogical methods used on them. Interviewing kids I feel would be more difficult than adults, so I am wondering how researchers will end up collecting their data. They may use direct observation or even interview the child’s parents, but we will soon found out. I am looking forward to finding out more about how research is done on children and what children have to say about your PICOT question.…

    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…

    While medical care was available growing up, there were financial or situational periods where it was not necessarily accessible. I am from a single parent family. My mother moved in with my grandparents after her divorce and works two full time jobs to help provide for my brother, grandparents, and I. Since my father went to jail and my grandfather passed, we have had to make many adjustments financially. This was the case due to my father not providing payments for child support for the time he was incarcerated nor occasional months prior. There has also been a complication with my mother and I having our identity stolen, which has created additional problems when applying for governmental aid throughout my undergraduate years. I worked…

    I was very fortunate to get hands-on clinical experience here in Internal Medicine and Cardiology for four weeks. Apart from history taking with examination in both outpatient and inpatient settings with the case presentation in morning rounds and regular daily follow-up of patients, I had the chance to observe sleep studies in detail, how we practically look for any abnormality in each stage of sleep really fascinated me. Most exciting part of this rotation was getting familiarized with electronic medical records, which took me some time to adjust, but I was quite comfortable in it by the end of my second week here. Owing to my interest in Cardiology I gave a presentation on valvular heart diseases and words of encouragement and praise really…
