As a Fetac Level 5 pre-nursing student, I am writing this essay to discuss how the content and practice experience in this module Care Provision and Practice has contributed to my development as a carer/nurse. The assignment will focus on my personal, interpersonal and professional skills that I have gained throughout my experience working as a care assistant at my work placement. I will discuss how the use of the nursing process is a systematic, rational method of planning and providing nursing care (Kozier et al.) which contributed to the plan of action to care for the patient. I will discuss how the patients respect, confidentiality and dignity were maintained throughout. I will be using what I have learned in my Care Provision and Practice module to put into place at my work placement. I will also do some research into the code of conduct and scope of practice to expand my knowledge on patient care such as gaining consent, maintaining dignity and maintaining dignity and respect. Briefly I will mention the nursing mode of activities of living models (Roper, Logan and Tierney). I will also discuss how I built up a therapeutic relationship with the patients in their time of need and how good communication with each and every patient is extremely important in helping them to share their problems with me. I found that understanding the definition of nursing really helped me in coping with patients and their health issues.
"Nursing is the use of clinical judgement in the provision of care to enable people to: improve, maintain, or recover health, to cope with health problems, and to achieve the best possible quality of life, whatever their disease or disability until death." (Arnold, Underman Boggs 2003)
Going into my first day of work experience, I was nervous and did not know exactly what to expect. But on
