Leadership and Professionalism I came well prepared for the clinical experience. I had the majority of the paperwork and equipment I needed for that day. I knew I was not familiar with the rehab setting and had to immerse myself in the routine of things immediately so I can maximize my time. I was proactive in asking the staff to teach me the interventions they were performing. I asked significant questions like the rationale behind what they were doing etc. I respectfully listened to the explanation they provided and of course, I thanked them for their time. I advocated for the patient during AM care. I ensured the patient’s basic hygiene needs were met before he goes about his day. I thoroughly wiped him down and then perfomed oral hygene
I arrived at clinical 0630 and picked up patient information the morning of. I reviewed all assigned diagnoses, medications, labs, and orders with my assigned students, and we discussed our plan for the day. We both took report from the patient's nurse and then Elizabeth presented at preconference. Kala shadowed the Nurse Lead and I helped Elizabeth with brief changes, pericare, and vital signs. I continued to check on both Elizabeth and Kala throughout the day. Last, lunch and then post-conferance.

When the patient came back, the hygienist was sure to make sure I was watching every move she made and she made me rinses out the patient’s mouth with the air and water syringe. I’m glad the patient was easy to deal with, considering it was a grown woman. The Doctor told me I should come back two days after this day because it would be a good day to

Ultimately, we want someone who is protective and selfish about his or her unit but also develops a broad concern for the Army itself and its overall welfare. Is that level of duality even possible? There are substantial obstacles to being a profession and more so for being a professional. Busy training calendars, high turnover rates for Soldiers, increased competition for promotions, training courses, and lifelong learning is just some of the surface impediments. These points of concern along with others not listed lead to short attention spans (5 meter target), a focus on the individual rather than the team (my tent’s up) and a ticket punching mentality (my
What does Professionalism mean to me? Professionalism in my term means it is someone who is very dedicated to their profession.

I will continue showing respect, empathy and dignity of the patient after graduation. I will make sure to continue behaving professionally throughout my career. It is very important for a healthcare professional to demonstrate professionalism, as once I become pharmacist it will be my responsibility that I reach on time to work, wear dress appropriately and behave in a nice manner to the patient. For example, after graduation I will continue to obey HIPPA law and other state laws which will mandate me to work in a particular way and which will not allowed me to share any personal information of a patient with anyone. Thus, by being punctual, respectful and responsible I will continue to advance my level of expertise in this particular outcome
Part 1: First day of clinical was a great experience! It was not my first time going into a healthcare facility but it was my first time actually going inside to a patient’s room to provide care. Today, it was kind of an exploring, easy day. I was very scared to first get into a patient’s room but I had a very cooperative, sweet, easy going patient and it really helped me to overcome my nervousness. Today, I tried to do head to toe assessment on my patient and it went fine. I had difficulty to hear her apical heart rate but after trying it few times, I was able to get it. I also saw a CNA giving shower to a patient and it was my first time actually seeing one. Practicing in a mannequin and actually seeing it doing on a human being was different.
for her MOY appointment. Upon entering the clinic, she was required to fill out a medical history form and sign a liability waiver. Once this was completed the forms were given to the condition to be reviewed with the patient. The clinician called the patient back by using Ms. and her last name. He also introduced himself accordingly to the patient. In compliance with the Competency Exam (2016), the chair was lowered for the patient, her path was cleared, he raised her arm rest after she was seated, and place for personal items on the coat hook (p. 3). She was a more controlling woman so; she was going to place the keys on the hook herself before he could politely ask to assist her. He placed the patient napkin on, gave her safety glasses to protect her eyes, and donned the appropriate PPEs except for the mask and gloves, Competency Exam (p. 11). Once this was completed the clinician began to review the patient's medical history. He was sure to speak in a humble, welcoming tone that made the patient comfortable enough to openly respond to him. He also made sure to use an interview style conversation to receive as much information from the patient that he could. The clinician was sure to highlight any yes answered questions, and he made sure to ask for further details from the patient in order to get a better understanding of the patient’s oral health. There were no changes in the patient’s medical history so “Patient states no

I thought my first day went great. I am located in Cass City at a outpatient rehabilitation facility. My fieldwork educator (FWE) is very knowledgeable and genuine. She is also a 2011 SVSU graduate, which it nice because she is familiar with the program. We only saw two patients today because the last patient of the day did not come. The first patient had a scapholunate ligament sprain as well as TFCC sprain and the other was a stroke patient. For the first patient, I just observed the therapeutic processes as the therapist used fluidotherapy as preparatory method and stretched the appropriate muscles and ligaments. For the second patient, I was able to administer two activity-based treatments that I created. I was super nervous at first but
I feel like I met this goal today, but at the same time I could have done better. My patient was confused and only oriented to person, I feel like I didn’t read nonverbal ques very well. Introductions were made and the nurse patient relationship was initiated. My patient was able to get up onto the bedside commode with assistance, but she had to be prompted to go. For this
