Clinical Tracking Student Analysis

After my transition rotation this semester on V4N at St. Raphael’s hospital, I feel I have grown in my patient care abilities that I will soon utilize and continue to improve on in my professional practice as a nurse. Setting goals for each shift allowed me to find my strengths and weaknesses and consistently improve in certain areas. Three main goals that I improved on or accomplished during this clinical includes improving on my time management skills when charting and writing notes, practicing sterile technique, and providing discharge instructions to patients.

The system was confusing at first, but once I started clicking around and exploring, it became easier to understand and locate the information I needed. I was able to find information like why the patient was there, vital signs, labs, allergies, past medical history, and medication schedule. After doing assessments I was able to document those findings and observations made during the assessments. For this task, I could improve by taking my time to chart and not chart findings vaguley. For my next clinical day, my goals for this task include taking my time while documenting, and to remember not to leave my patients information up on the screen if I walk

Most EMT/Paramedic training programs clearly plan the didactic and lab sessions within the classroom. However, many programs lose this accountability when sending students out of the classroom to the clinical rotations. This article is aimed to aid EMT and Paramedic students in discussing pointers to keep in mind when attending their mandatory clinical rotations, especially if they are not given full preparation from the instructor or course sponsor.

I arrived at clinical 0630 and picked up patient information the morning of. I reviewed all assigned diagnoses, medications, labs, and orders with my assigned students, and we discussed our plan for the day. We both took report from the patient's nurse and then Elizabeth presented at preconference. Kala shadowed the Nurse Lead and I helped Elizabeth with brief changes, pericare, and vital signs. I continued to check on both Elizabeth and Kala throughout the day. Last, lunch and then post-conferance.

Shadowing a doctor can be a deciding factor for pre-medical students prior to getting into medical school. It’s a defining experience that helps the pre-med students understand whether they truly want to be a physician or not. That’s why we, at Manhattan Orthopedic Care, wholeheartedly welcome the pre-medical students to shadow the work of Dr. Armin Tehrany, one of the best knee and shoulder specialists in New York.

The decision process to make patient assignments was not an easy one. I looked at my entire staff and all of my patients. I had to evaluate everything that was happening with the patient and then evaluate my staff in order to know if they were able to care for that patients needs. I used the delegation decision making grid. I took every patient and applied them to the chart for a baseline. Then I took the score they got and gave it to the nurse with the best ability to care for that patient based off what the grid told me to do. I faced several challenges with making patient assignments. My first challenge was when I sat down I wanted to give my hardest patience to the most experienced UAP. When I looked at it the most experienced UAP had all

Today’s healthcare is changing, and more hospitals are commencing to go paperless using computers for both medical records and charting. Computers are widely accepted, in personal and professional settings. It is an essential requirement for computer literacy. Numerous advances in technology during the past decade require that nurses not only be knowledgeable in nursing skills but also to become educated in computer technology. While electronic medical records (EMR’s) and charting can be an effective time management tool, some questions have been asked on how exactly this will impact the role and process of nursing, and the ultimate effects on patient safety and confidentiality. In order to

Medical Student Clinical Rotations – I worked in diverse outpatient specialty clinics with a team of health care professionals obtaining a detail patient medical and health histories, executing physical examinations, relating the finds to supervising physician and participating in a discussion about lab and image tests as well as best treatment options. Furthermore, I was responsible for

The Electronic Medical Record, or "EMR," is a digital version of the paper charts in a hospital or physician's clinic. The Electronic Medical Record is capable of storing all of the patient's medical history, both past and present. Prior to the creation and implementation of the EMR, all physicians were on paper records. EMR's are far superior to paper records in many ways, most notable the ability to comprehensive data collection, ease of access and transferability, and transparency.

Electronic Medical Records or Computerized Medical Record System what is it and what are the advantages along with the disadvantages of using this system? That is what we will discuss in this paper.

Avoiding delays in documenting is one of the best ways for nurses to accurately document. It is important for nurses to set aside the time to chart as soon as they are able. It is recommended that charting should be completed,

In my placement as a second year student, most of my duties are focused on providing nursing care and general ward

Accreditation requirements must be interwoven in natural flow within the context of the assessment and become more meaningful components to the assessment:

With the continuous changes in healthcare, evaluation of students’ clinical knowledge and skills relies on the need for continuous evaluation. Evaluation is the process of using data to make judgements about students’ individual performance. Evaluation of clinical performance provides data from which educators use to judge the extent to which students have acquired specific learning outcomes (Billings & Halstead, 2016). With the use of best practice evaluation methods, clinical performance can be evaluated to ensure quality patient care. Educators face a challenging task when providing evaluation that is fair and reasonable. Tasked with evaluating students in the clinical setting, educators can evaluate how students integrate theory and apply it to real-life situations. Observations of performance in the clinical setting should focus on the outcomes to be met and competencies to be developed (Oermann & Gaberson, 2014). Developing a clinical evaluation tool to determine whether students can think critically, prioritize problems, and complete patient care procedures correctly is essential. There are a variety of evaluation methods to use in nursing education. Depending on the learning outcomes to be measured will determine which tool best evaluates the students’ performance. Clinical practice is an essential and highly significant component of nursing education. Education programs are obligated to respond to government requests for well-educated healthcare professionals.
