Emergency Medicine

S (situation): Hi, my name Kelsey and I am a nurse in the emergency department. I am calling about Shannon O’Reilly’s most recent laboratory results.

An emergency room physician is a health practitioner who works in confined emergency rooms and treats critically ill individuals. These experts have exceptional life supporting skills. Therefore, they act as lifesavers in numerous health centers. They handle life-threatening situations which the regular doctors find it difficult to control. The patients taken to the emergency rooms require extensive diagnosis and treatment because they have terrible health conditions. After the arrival of the patients to the hospital, the emergency room physicians take care of the critically ill victims instantly.

I am an Emergency Department nurse whose goal is to care for patients as a Family Nurse Practitioner. I have had the privilege of working in a fast pace setting with patients of all ages and I’ve been exposed to various medical illnesses. As an Emergency Department nurse, I feel these qualities have provided me with experiences that further my education and allow me to provide care to patients. Furthermore, I have gained valuable knowledge from recognizing and stabilizing critical patients to help with the care for uncomplicated medical conditions.

Throughout the majority of my life, I had dreams of becoming an attorney and did not consider medicine as a profession until much later in my academic career. I had previously pictured myself pursuing a career in intellectual property rights and hoped to become a patent attorney, given my interest in the scientific field. My interest in patent law led me to take science courses that piqued my curiosity. I soon found myself involved in undergraduate laboratory research, focused on discovering new drugs to treat chronic pain syndromes while preventing drug tolerance and limiting the side effects of conventionally used narcotic pain medications. During my last year of college, I was accepted into law school, however I ultimately did not feel that I was truly pursuing my passion and decided to withdraw my acceptance. I then found myself with a college degree and an unclear direction in life, unsure of what new career I wanted to pursue. Shortly after graduating, I discovered a medical scribe vacancy in my hometown's Emergency Department (ED). Working as a scribe in the ED was a profound experience that undoubtedly shaped my career path and inspired me to become a physician and apply to medical school.

In September 2015, I had an opportunity to join the team of volunteers of the Inspira Medical Center in Woodbury. I joined the Emergency Department. My shifts were once a week for three to six hours. I had a chance to interact with patients, mostly to help ease their anxiety and fear. This experience was valuable because it allowed me not just to observe, but also to look at healthcare from the perspective of a patient. I realized that I did not have to be a licensed practitioner to understand patients’ concerns and fears. I also realized that any effort on my part to help ease such worries would go a long way towards helping the patient feel more secure in themselves and their

I have worked in the healthcare field for more than 10 years. I started at the bottom and having worked my way up the clinical ladder am proud to currently lead my staff as an Emergency Department Clinical Manager. I have learned so many things along my professional journey and look forward to facing new challenges and opportunities. I pride myself in being accountable and prepared. As you can imagine, working in the emergency room, I have seen patients and staff at their best and worst, which has helped me

While working in the emergency department for my clinical this week I could see the staff members that help in the emergency department. There are RNs, EMTs that have different certifications like BLS or ALS, a nurse practitioner, and doctors. In the emergency department, they have staff members from different parts of the hospital to assess the patients. Radiology comes down to get X-rays on the patients for a closer look at their heart. The patients who come into the ER with shortness of air, chest pains, numbness in the extremities and dizziness with signs of fatigue are ordered an X-ray. The lab can come to draw the patient's blood or the nurse will draw up the patient's blood and then send it to the lab. More patients come in with chest pains or shortness of air while in the ER,

Yoga based interventions fall under a very broad topic of complementary and alternative medicine. The United States National Library of Medicine defines CAMs as “the term for medical products and practices that are not part of standard care. Standard care is what medical doctors, doctors of osteopathy, and allied health professionals, such as nurses and physical

In the Emergency Response Referral, the RP reported that on 1/27/2017, children Dermarion and Theodore Brown were at a visit with their birth mother Ashley Brown from 3-5pm at CVC.

Crystal Boschert began her exploration with yoga 8 years ago. Within no time she fell in love with yoga, which led her wanting to learn more so, she could deepen her practice and to share her passion of yoga and its many benefits with other’s along with helping others to adventure into a more holistic way of living. In 2014, she registered with The National Yoga Alliance as a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT 200) and began teaching after completing her first teacher training at Jane’s House of Well-Being in St. Charles, Missouri. She was trained to teach Hatha yoga, using the Dynamic Yoga Method (DYM), under Robin Buck, Sarah Kadel, Matthew and Holly Krepps, and other masterful teacher’s.

During my visit, I met with the Youth Organizer, Luba Cortes. We spoke briefly in regards to the week three evaluations. I informed her they all need to be completed by the end of week three. The participants were currently present at the time of my visit. They were not engaged in any work activity as they were all having lunch. At the end of their lunch break, I spoke with some of them and they all stated they enjoy working with this organization. Shortly after, I was able to observe the overall facility which was kept clean, organized and well supervised. The emergency exits were kept clear and accessible for use. I also noticed fire extinguishers which were present in the designated areas. Overall, this work site follows DYCD rules and regulations.

Cardiovascular disease is a global burden and by changing risk factors such as increasing physical activity and reducing stress by relaxation can lower the incidence of the disease (Hartley, Dyakova, Holmes, Clarke, Lee, Ernst, & Rees, 2014) The study had 800 participants with high risk factors of the cardiovascular disease and were recruited to 11 study trials. After eight months of this ongoing study, Hartley and Colleagues (2014) found that any form of yoga showed reduction in the systolic and diastolic blood pressure, triglycerides, and an increase in high-density lipoprotein. Since patients with the cardiovascular disease are unable to perform rigorous exercises, yoga was concluded to be an ideal choice for them. Participants, who

In today’s busy modern world, most of the people are stressful and find it difficult to devote time towards their health and fitness. Every day we are acquainted with new diseases and ailments, there are also increasing cases of strokes. All these are happening because of the unhealthy way we are leading our life, may it be physical or mental health. There are three components, body, mind and soul which complete a human being. These components have corresponding three needs which are health, knowledge and inner peace. There is harmony in a person’s life only when all those three components are present, which is health required for physical need, knowledge for our psychological needs and inner peace for spiritual need. Yoga is a science

The health behavior that was chosen to promote during our campaign was yoga. We encouraged students, staff, and faculty members at Knox College to partake in yoga classes offered by the school in order to reduce stress and target a particular health/illness outcome. The main physical health/illness outcome targeted in this campaign was reduced blood pressure. Yoga is also seen to improve cardiovascular health. We chose to focus on the benefits of yoga to improve blood pressure and cardiovascular health instead of just one or the other because most of the studies that we found while researching mentioned both decreased blood pressure and improved cardiovascular health occurring from practicing yoga.
