Example Of A Narrative Essay On A Clinical Interaction

My first encounter with a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthesia (CRNA) was during my undergraduate nursing OB/GYN rotation. I was impressed with the CRNA when she placed the epidural to the patient in labor. I remembered patient had difficulty staying still due to the contraction, but the CRNA took her time to explain the procedure while comforting the distressed patient. Once the epidural was in placed and the medication started working, I could tell the relief the patient experienced. I realized then that a CRNA goes beyond the delivery of anesthesia, pain management and monitoring of patients. Thus, obtaining this degree will prepare me to ease the patient’s mind through education, pain management, monitoring, experience and compassion.

I palpated the presumptuous malignant lump in my right upper abdominal area over, and over again. At the time I was ten years-old and thought that maybe I was delirious at one in the morning. The lump would not disappear. I palpated so often that the skin became tender with a single touch. I was terrified of a simple little lump in my body. A little lump that was capable of making an even larger impact on my life. It may seem rare that a ten year-old was constantly assessing their entire body for lumps, but it was a ritual for me every night before bed. At ten years-old I was fascinated with the quickly developing disease called cancer. Books and movies involving cancer fascinated me and was often my favorite to witness.

Due to Marks very depressed state, the initial interaction required a great deal of empathy and high degrees of compassion. When first engaging a client, it is important to be compassionate and empathetic and listen without interrupting, prompting or advising (Berg-Weger, 2013).

Anesthesia was developed in order to block or prevent pain during medical procedures. Anesthesia has been the backbone of the medical world for around 100 years now. Early anesthetics were primitive and many patients simply did not trust anesthetics. Anesthesia is still a risky process even in todays advanced medical world. Anesthesia is not used to treat or diagnose any specific disease; the sole purpose is to aid both the patient and surgeon through procedures. However, anesthesia is used in different ways based on the magnitude of the procedure. There are three levels of anesthesia which include; local, regional, and general anesthesia. An anesthesiologist determines which type of anesthesia will be needed.

Did you plan thoroughly? The interaction was unplanned as the patient sharing their feelings was spontaneous.

Teaching and learning in the clinical setting is not a new concept and the teaching of clinical skill to nursing student ranks high on the current agenda of nurse education (Pfeil, 2003).

It needs to be recognised that every client is individual and there is no guarantee how they will go about the therapeutic process. These stages should only be looked as a guide to some of the steps the client may take.

Medical transcriptionist seem easy enough, all you had to do was listen to what the doctor said and type it up fast, right? Wrong!! While doing the transcription work in class it was actually fairly easy.All of the doctors spoke perfect English, there were no background noise, and you didn’t have to look a million things up trying to figure out what is what. But it’s not like that in the real world. During clinical, we worked kind of like interns, we would go to the office, sit at our computers and do real dictations. But if it’s a piece of cake in class, it will be the same in the real world, right? Wrong again! The majority of the doctors have very strong accents; you can barely understand what is being said, and because of background noises,

A twist on the "patient's perspective" approach is to describe a time when medicine failed to save or heal someone close to you. The purpose of this tactic would not of course be to rail against the medical profession, but rather to show how a disappointing loss inspired you to join the struggle against disease and sickness.

Assisting client- This week I only escorted one client. His appointment was at 11am, but he came in at 12pm. We weren’t sure that the clinic was still going to see him so I escorted him just to see. The clinic isn’t far from NSC and he been to the clinic a few times. I thought I would just escort him and if they agree to see him I would just make sure that he’s check in and make sure they have language line available to him. I planed on leaving him at the clinic because I had a of calls to make at the office. On our way to the appointment, he asked me a lot of personal question like are you married? do u have a boyfriend, where do you live? how much do NSC pays you? (ect.). It really annoyed me, but I answer all his questions politely. At the clinic, the doctors said they could see him, so I asked him if he knew his way back to NSC from the clinic and he told me no. I was a little confused because he led the way to the clinic because I never been to the clinic and he knew the entrance to the clinic. I

As a student of nursing program I am doing 220 clinical placements at True Davidson long term care. On the first day of my clinical, I was so excited and quite nervous too. On that day, I picked one patient and it was my first experience to handle the client individually. I am going to write about that I eventually learn something from my first clinical experience. My buddy nurse told me to go to client’s room and ready her for breakfast. Then, I went her room and said her to be ready for breakfast. She looks at me and seems angry. At that time my mind was wandering that what I did mistake to her. It was the fifth week of my 220 placement, however, that event has left a permanent effect on my mind and it comes to my mind on every
