How To Write A Reflective Account Of An Unforgettable Experience

I enjoy working alongside other healthcare professional. I believe that collaborative practice is the future of medicine; thus, I would appreciate the chance to work alongside medical students to provide an optimal healthcare for the clinic patients. I have previously collaborated with the medical students more than once by working closely with the Boarder Health Project. Because of these collaborations, we were able to administer more than 150 flu shots, in addition to counseling patients on the proper use of OTC medication.

My second clinical day at Mercy Defiance Hospital, progressive care unit, was overwhelming but rewarding and very educational. Through the 8 hours I was there, I learned a lot. I engaged myself in many self-directing learning practices to futher promote my professional growth. My first time interaccting with my patient,I was joined with my clinical instructor. While in the room, I got to listen to to my patients heart, lungs, and bowel sounds. I was able to see and examine the patients ostomy bag, as well as help them to the bathroom. There were ways that I can improve my professional growth, suchas,having the confidence to not second guess my self about things to do in assessments. For example, I know how to assess the lungs, I should not second guess where to listen for the sounds. One of my goals for next week dealing with professional growth would be to have the confidence to know what I have learned and use it. My second one being to go into the room with a confident attitude and believe in myself.

deliver patients medical records, and run errands for all of the Nursing Units, Radiology, Admitting, and the general offices. From this experience I exhibited characteristics such as responsibility, caring, and, trustworthiness. Most importantly from this experience I learned you can change a person’s entire day by simply sending a smile their way or offering assistance. The small things in life matter, and I was reminded to live everyday to its fullest, because you never

As individuals and as a group, we have worked hard, we toiled, we endured, and we have come out better, with more passion and more confidence than when we began. We have survived all the different rotations, shifts, and calls, the sleepless nights and the chaos and adrenaline of the emergency room duty and the rigorous training examinations. I believe we are all proud to have made it to this day. In all sincerity, today represents a landmark achievement for each of us and our families. It is to our loved ones and all those who encouraged us through this long journey from preschool through residency that we owe our deepest thanks. The encouragement from family, friends, colleagues, faculty, staff and strangers have played a vital role in our success.

My personal practicum experience took place at St Elizabeth’s Hospital, which is a small 90 bed community hospital located in Gonzales, La. St Elizabeth’s Hospital is a part of the Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System which was organized in 1984 to unite with three existing hospitals in Louisiana which were already a part of the system

Prior to this trip, I was very intrigued by the medical field and although I did not have a set idea of my future profession, I knew I wanted to work in the medical field. Some of my friends who had taken this course before told me their experience at Sunnybrook and Lyndhurst, as well as how much of a great opportunity this was for anybody of any age. I had very high expectations, however, I was also very anxious because it was professional setting, and the situations were unpredictable. I could not believe that I would be visiting one of the major hospitals and the largest trauma center in Canada. The entire trip, from the introductions and presentations to the emotional stories shared by the people at the rehabilitation centre was engaging. The P.A.R.T.Y program aimed towards providing information to youth and motivating us to stop drug or alcohol abuse, as well as texting and driving since these were the main causes of motor vehicle collisions. Throughout the day we saw the trauma room and critical care unit, as well as presentations by doctors, first responders, and nurses. Then by the afternoon we had the opportunity to travel to Lyndhurst and hear about the experiences of some individuals.

As I began my medical education my interests had piqued; however, my true passion was ignited when I discovered the stimulating environment of internal medicine. Foremost, with the aid of an exceptional physician preceptor, I discovered that managing a wide variety of pathologies within a varied population is the ideal way to develop a broad clinical knowledge. Additionally, I found that I enjoyed the ‘hands-on’ component that comes with the privilege of performing procedures and resuscitation. Finally, I discovered that managing patients holistically, through collaboration and coordination, is the best way to facilitate excellent patient outcomes. It was after these discoveries that I decided to further my pursuit of a career in internal medicine.

In this paper I will describe the client scenario from my first six days of clinical practice at the medical ward of Eagle Ridge Hospital. I will reflect upon the salient learning experience received during the first 6 shifts at Eagle Ridge Hospital. I will explore the personal meaning of my clinical experience and will identify the plans for the next set of shifts.

For the past two weeks I have been performing my clinical at Holton Community Hospital experiencing what it is like to be on the floor with the patients and I had the opportunity to see what it was like in the Family Practice part of the hospital.

As the ASC continued to grow in response to the increasing number of members, the procedures that were internalized not only increased, and were more complex. During that that time of expansion, I help strengthen the collaboration among ASC leadership and personnel to ensure that all surgical initiative is a success. In my role as perioperative educator, I spearheaded the development, implementation and evaluation of training and education via clinical simulation of procedures internalized in the ASC in 2015.

In this program, I was taught the basics of working in a hospital, such as how to read medical signs and use a wheelchair. I was able to interact with a wide variety of individuals, including residents, doctors, patients, and more. I furthered my knowledge in the medical field through experiential learning. At first, the hospital seemed daunting due to its size and structure. However, as I journeyed through the program, the hospital began to feel like home.

Peter’s Hospital. The wide exposure and high acuity of the patients on this unit has given me confidence in my nursing and clinical abilities. After working on this unit and having daily interactions with patients for over a year, however, I recognized the need to further my knowledge and experiences in order to be the best caregiver I can be. It is for this reason I seek to continue my education to become a nurse practitioner. Seeing the patients that I have, it makes me want to be a practitioner who is able to reach these patients and empower them with education before they get to this point of having open heart

Caring for the same patients’ each week and can be exhausting at times. I want to care for a variety of patients each day. I need a change and I want to enhance my knowledge. Most people say, starting on a Med-Surg floor will give me a lot of experience. Although that may be true, I am glad I had the opportunity to work on this unit for 240 hours, but I need a change.

To further my experience, I began working with patients and assisting the doctor in surgeries. During my time assisting I acquired the skills necessary to provide for patients. The quick paced schedule and hectic situations taught me to work fast and efficiently while also caring for the patient. Eight years of working with patients and learning different aspects of the medical field have provided me with the experience needed to interact with patients on a regular

Throughout life I have had many memorable events. The memorable times in my life vary from being the worst times in my life and some being the best, either way they have become milestones that will be remembered forever. The best day of my life was definitely the day that I received my drivers' license. This day is one of the most memorable because of the feelings I had when I received it, the opportunities that were opened up for me and the long lasting benefits that I received from it that still exist today.
