First I Like For Thank The Cvh Er Story Book Report

Neptune has changed significantly over the last 5 years and during the last 3 I have worked as a band 6 supporting the ward Manager to provide a safer service to patients by introducing the safe staffing levels recommended by the RCN and Mid staff reports. We have achieved this through a recruitment drive, starting a rotation programme to improve skills and communication between Neptune an ED and creating an ethos for improvement. I have also benefitted from this over the last few years and have attended study days such as recognition of the sick child, level 3 safeguarding, pain management, extended paediatric advanced life support, management workshops, mentorship and a HDU module showing my commitment to my personal development and the attitude that I have toward my career.

During this day, I was assigned to care to one of our sick residents and based on my assessment, her condition shows no sign of improvement from her chest infection so I checked her vital signs specifically her respirations. After assessing her, we rang in the GP to inform him about the condition of his patient and asked him to schedule a visit. Also, in the afternoon, we had a new admission from Eversley. Firstly, we greeted the patient, introduced ourselves and oriented the resident to the unit. Secondly, the nurse from Eversley informed us about the relevant information about the patient’s

However, I have exceeded in medical experience training that is competitive compared to my peers. I have served as a Patient Experience & Diversity Specialist and an Emergency Department Volunteer at Cape Fear Valley Hospital; I am the current Undergraduate Clinic Coordinator for the Campbell University Community Care Clinic; and more recently, a Natural Disaster Support Volunteer for Hurricane Matthew victims in Lumberton, NC. All of these positions have required me to expose myself and engage with patients that originate from a wide variety of culture, life experiences, and differences in personality. Early exposure and repetition of certain practices in the medical field has allowed me to achieve qualifications that allow me to assist in Guatemala and the varied health conditions that I will

As a result of my versatile work experience, as well as my community and organizational involvement, I have learned the importance of being a team player in order to perform effectively and efficiency. Having exposure to multiple clinical rotations in variable institutional settings has enhanced my time management skills, multi-tasking ability, and effective communication to both diverse patient populations and fellow practitioners. These qualities, along with my genuine enthusiasm and empathetic passion to help others, will allow me to become an integral component to your residency team.

Despite the challenges, this facilitating experice has instilled me a degree of appreciation of many staff who work hard behind the scene to ahcieve the common goal of providing the best care possible to patients within the scarce resources. It was possible to see how good working relationship with other disciplines can improve overall efficiency.

It is a warm summer evening at Grady Hospital. It is my first day as an emergency room volunteer. I’m nervous and eager, hoping to see something exciting. However, it is surreally quiet. Suddenly, there is word of an ambulance en route. Minutes later the paramedics burst into the trauma slot pushing a man on a stretcher. His head and face are covered with gauze that is soaked through with dark blood. It is a flurry of well-orchestrated movement as the attendings and residents start to resuscitate him. They pull back the bandages to reveal a deep gash that is bleeding profusely. With much effort his vital signs are stabilized and he begins to regain consciousness. Later, after the excitement had passed, I learned what brought him here. He is diabetic and couldn’t afford to properly manage his condition. He had fainted due to hypoglycemia and hit his head. He had almost lost his life because of the unfortunate financial realities of modern healthcare. In that moment, I came to appreciate the very real cost of disease and the incredible role physicians have in ameliorating it. This formative experience was the beginning of my path to medicine.

St. Mary’s Medical Center Health Scholar: As a clinical volunteer, I get to experience the hospital as one of its member. Its rotational department system allows me to explore different aspects of the

I have accomplished some courses, which greatly helps me in improving care and outcome and working towards the patients’ goals. Being as one of the Administrative staff in my work, I am very pleased of learning new ideas from IHI and having this applied towards my work setting.

On September 28, when we went to Tripler Army Medical Center, I was placed in the Cardiac Ward. At that time, I was able to learn so many diagnosis dealing with the patients. The nurse had briefly explained what was going on with each individual patient and the type of treatments they are doing to help. She had also neatly clarified each medication she was giving them and told me exactly what it was used for. I was able to get an experience of hands on by taking a patient’s temperature. I had shadowed as she did so many things to make the patient feel comfortable and did everything to the best of her ability to make them happy. She had taught me how to record every piece of information about the patients on the computer by showing me what

Each department works together to create a smooth streamline transition for every patient. The employees, from customer service to administration to physicians, work on the same level with one another and share in the passion of treating and healing their patients. The employees continue their focus of their patients to the patient’s family as well.

I am privileged to return to the work environment at Northwell Health to further broaden my knowledge of the emergency room as well as the complexities involving a hospital system. Prior to my job as an Academic Associate, I had no exposure to administrative tasks, and simply assumed I lacked the aptitude to complete the necessary duties. Yet, from working with physicians to plan continuing medical education conferences and grand round series, I see how I am able to incorporate my interpersonal and organizational skills to coordinate these conferences.

Upon arriving at Hays Medical Center, my classmates and I met on the third floor for preconference. I grabbed a computer and logged into my client’s chart to see if there were any new orders. I had no new orders. In conference, we were to give report on our patient. My client was a young male in for a bowel resection due to an obstruction. After giving report, I met up with my senior two, Brendell. We proceeded down to the acute floor. I found my client’s room and waited for report from my nurse. I went ahead and introduced myself to my patient and explained to him that I would be helping today, that if he needed anything he should hesitate to ask. I went forward with my bedside assessment, making sure to do everything

Also, I find the dynamics of cancer treatment to be absolutely fascinating. I’ve experienced the physical and emotional toll it takes on an individual and their family, and I would like to make a contribution to help better understand the disease as well as better the lives of those who are diagnosed. Along with seeking acceptance into the SURF+ program, I am also in the process of looking for opportunities in which I can volunteer or work in a cancer care setting. Volunteering or working in a cancer care setting while supplementing that experience with research in the field is an extremely rare and invaluable opportunity. If I am accepted, I am almost certain that my experiences during this summer will serve as the core of any of my future endeavors. Currently, I am close to wrapping up my first year of volunteering with Honor Health at the Deer Valley Medical Center, and I can say, without any hesitation, that my desire and motivation to make health care my career has only continued to grow. Additionally, I have taken the time to learn about MIHS itself, its mission, and the services it provides to the

The purpose of this journal is to reflect on my experience and skills gained during my clinical placement at Ben Taub Hospital. On my first clinical day, I was excited and nervous at the same time. My first placement was in the PREOP/PACU area. I was assigned to help a patient who had been in the PACU area going on 2 days. Normally, once the patient comes from surgery they are only in the PACU area for a short period of time before they are discharged home or given a bed in another area of the hospital. This particular patient still had not received an assignment for a bed. The physicians would make their rounds to come check on him daily. The patient was a 28-year-old Hispanic male, non-English speaking, he had a hemicolectomy. He had a NG tube, urinary Foley catheter, and a wound vac. My preceptor had just clocked in and she needed to check on the patient’s vitals and notes from the previous nurse. Once she introduced me to the patient and explained while I was there, she then asked me to check his vitals. (Vital signs indicate the body’s ability to regulate body temperature, maintain blood flow, and oxygenate body tissues. Vital signs are important indicators of a client’s overall health status (Hogan, 2014). I froze for a quick second. I have practiced taking vitals numerous of times and I knew I could do it correctly. I started with the temperature first, when I was quickly corrected on a major mistake I had made by my preceptor. I HAD FORGOT TO WASH MY HANDS and PUT

This Friday, September 15th, I had my clinical observation experience in the ED. I was there from 7:00 am till noon, viewing the flow and duties of the nursing staff on the unit, as well as practicing the skills I have thus learned in school. Throughout most of the morning, I followed Jessica, who had been a nurse in the ER for ten years. It was an insightful experience that broadened my previously limited knowledge of the roles and experience of an emergency nurse.
