A Neonatal Nurse: A Case Study

While reflecting back on the previous weeks, I have to say that this was the foundational class for the FNP students. Before this class, I used to think how I am going to fulfill the role of a Nurse Practitioner (NP). This class helped me to better understand my role and gave me the confidence that I can fulfill the role of an NP. Today, when I look at myself, I know I am in the stage of advanced beginner in Patricia Benner’s Novice to expert theory. The case studies in the discussion threads really put me in the real world of practical nursing as an NP fulfilling the role of a provider. Thorough the case studies, I have learned how to make a best differential diagnosis based on the patients presenting symptoms. The interaction and sharing

It is very important for graduate nurses to fit in to a hospital as this gives them a chance to practice safely and effectively. For a New Graduate Nurse (NGN), fitting-in is about establishing secure and meaningful social bonds with ward staff (Rush, Adamack, Gordon, and Janke, 2014, p. 222). Fitting in, or the wish to fit in with ward staff is one of central piont of NGN transition experiences; it gives the NGN a feeling that they are a part of a social group with common goals, common experiences and a shared culture (Tingleff and Gildberg, 2014, p. 537). Success for the New Graduate Nurse would depend on how fast they establish friendly relationships and a sense of belonging. Hospitals understand the importance of NGN getting used to the

Examining the competencies for the training for the SpNS nurses has raised questions about the direction of the program and the RNST competencies project. We will meet next week (12/8) to discuss the program, refocus the project and examine what we have done so far.

Through the Weissman Scholar program I will finally be able to decide what college I would like to attend and pursue my dream of becoming a Neonatal Nurse.

I am interested in being a NICU Nurse. Being a NICU nurse, I would encounter Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia or BPD because it is most commonly found in babies that are born more than 10 weeks early and weigh less than 2 pounds.

As well as using any illegal substances, tobacco products, or drink alcohol while pregnant. There are a few warning signs, which include rapid and shallow breathing, sharp puling in of the patient’s chest, grunting sounds, and flaring of the nostrils.

This assignment describes my own reflective experience while caring for a sick neonate with Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) in the neonatal unit. This has enabled me to explore the meaning and significance of my clinical practice and to recognise the complexities within it. The experience raises a number of issues frequently encountered in daily nursing practice. Within this assignment, I will be discussing a particular pre term baby with RDS and critically analyse the use of nasal continuous positive airways pressure (NCPAP) and surfactant therapy and possible effects on baby’s outcome. Pseudonyms will be used to maintain patient confidentiality in order to keep in with the nursing and midwifery council code of conduct. (NMC 2004)The

Most infants receive care from Neonatal Nurses in the hospital in the NICU section of the hospital.

These nurses or specialists may also be present for the delivery of the child and are also usually there for a follow-up appointment after the patient is discharged to make sure that stable health is maintained.
