Evaluation And Assessment Of Oncology

The skills and knowledge I acquired as a nurse practitioner (NP) student will be attributed to the quality of the precepted experiences I have in the clinical and therefore my preceptor has been committed throughout the clinical to

Nursing is more than a profession taught by science. It is an art that the nurse refines through the creative use of oneself based on the skills and expertise, to transmit emotions and meaning to the patient. Nursing is a process that is subjective and requires interpretation, sensitivity, imagination and active participation. A core skill utilized by a nurse is advocacy, both for our patients and our profession. Our profession requires participation of advocacy at all levels of nursing, starting at the bedside and continuing all the way to nurses in legislation. To be a proficient patient advocate, the nurse must be able to assess the patient’s constant change in physical, psychological, spiritual, and social needs. I apply my knowledge

Reflecting on experiences and composing nursing care plans are just two of the many fundamental skills involved in nursing (Day, Trotter, Hill, Haines & Thompson, 2014). This essay will include four nursing care plans, two related to actual nursing problems, and two related to potential nursing problems. Additionally, included within this essay, using Gibbs reflective cycle (Gibbs, 1988), will be a reflection recounting a situation the writer experienced while on practical placement in a local rest home.

I had to float to medical floor four times throughout my integrative practicum. Nurses and their students are not aware of when they will be floating until they physically

My assessment skills could benefit from practice both in and out of the clinical setting. My assessment technique of my patients needs to have more of an order to it, so in order to improve this I need to get comfortable with an order of steps in my assessment skills, so then later on I can base my assessment order on what the priority assessments are. In order to work towards this, I need to decide on a general order, and then practice that order both in and out of the clinical setting. Learning to assess the patient completely, without the need to reference my notes, is important because then my focus can be more on the needs of my patient, rather than on the steps that need to be completed.

I have done many clinical rotations over the past three years of my high school career. From those experiences I have gained much needed knowledge that will help me to be a more contributing member to my community and those around me. I have learned how to communicate better with patients and how to listen and understand their needs. Although

As a result, I have developed skills to complete focused assessments, develop and implement plans of care, collaborate with peers, and create therapeutic relationships with patients and families.

Intervention #2: My nurse and I assessed pain frequently. This is often done at the same at the same time as vital signs are obtained, and during activity and rest. We also assessed for pain with interventions or procedures likely to cause pain.

The real patient situations were helpful and it will help to adapt this information when it comes to real clinical

I have learned how to communicate with a diverse group of patients, communicate effectively, be honest with patients, and respect their beliefs and emotions. This experience has been a catalyst of personal growth for me. I will use the lessons and skills I have learned from my job to continue providing excellent comprehensive patient

State of the art technology has driven the evolution of oncology healthcare services. Cutting edge pharmaceutical research and drug developments in recent years have dramatically changed the way cancer specialists manage and treat cancer. Advanced diagnostic tools and computer assisted surgical devices empower medical providers to detect malignant tumors earlier and remove affected areas with less impact on healthy organs and tissue. Oncology electronic health records (EHR) are a valuable resource for physicians and clinicians as they pursue better treatment options and outcomes for their patients.

There are always new discoveries on how to better treat a patient and I am an open person who yearns for this knowledge. My college education will provide a background knowledge and conceptual framework to public health competencies that will develop programs and also advocated for health equity policies in the community. By being involved in direct patients care I will do more than help people heal, but I am also becoming part of the community and being something bigger than myself. When I earned my Master’s degree in nursing, I want to be as prepared as possible by knowing the best method of treatment. Medicine is constantly changing, and I am excited to explore in hopes to find new methods of treatment. I want to immerse myself in the medical

Today, my formal training in nursing, which spans practices of chronic illnesses has provided me with the proper context to identify for my clients what

As I go through my clinical experiences at my clinical sites, I believe that I have the skills and personal qualities that will allow me to succeed in both the radiology program and in a career as a radiology technologist. Every day that I go to a clinical site I learn something different, new, and exciting. I like to observe what different techniques help different people and what helps and makes them easier for me to understand.

The period I have spent here in Emory nursing school has been gratifying, challenging, demanding, and astounding. Coming into the program, I had many fixed ideas about nursing, and was not aware of all the things nurses do on a day -to- day basis. At the present time, I have come to see the extensive nursing scope of practice and the skills required to become a professional nurse; I come to really appreciate this occupation. I did my Role Transition rotation at Care Initiative Unit (CIU) in Emory University Hospital (EUH). The unit has 7 stretchers and 6 recliners and the patients being cared for are generally patients from ED, Emory Clinic, ENDO, Vascular, and Cardiac specialties. The skills utilized by the nurses to care for these patients, and their specific pre-operative needs are very unique. I encountered many experiences during my Role Transition to help me evolve into a professional nurse when I am on my own. I will elaborate on this transitional passage through exploring the unit that I worked in, and my own personal leadership characteristics as well as defining methods that I can use to incorporate Evident Base Practice and provide quality nursing care.
