My Clinical Experience Paper

Journey’s intake unit completes all initial assessment to assess client for different level of care and accurately assign them to the most appropriate unit. The different level of care ranged from intensive inpatient care unit to medication only. As a practicum student, I worked in the outpatient services unit. The assessment was completed via an online program with an intake staff and the client, usually a week or two before the first scheduled appointment with a clinician. Therefore, once a client is assigned to me, I have access to review their file. The assessment are usually completed in a brief model format, and as the clinician assigned to work with a client, I am expected to use the first two sessions of therapy

Rochester's Pre-College Programs will help make me better because the Mini Medical School would further my knowledge of medical careers. As a current high school junior I have explored multiple careers, but I came to a conclusion last year that I would like to be a pediatrician. Last year I participated in the STEP program at the University of Rochester to decide if a medical career was a good fit for me. STEP opened my eyes to all the qualifications needed for my choice career, and taught me how to work with others on medical subjects. As well as present to large groups of people, and working with others. I really enjoyed my summer at the STEP program, and received a scholarship into the Mini Medical School program. Even though I received

It was that time of the year again. Her daughter, Daisy, and husband would pack up the minivan with everything she could possibly need. Each time they embarked on this journey, there was a sense of silence and unknowing in the air. She would be there for a couple months, unable to feel the fresh autumn air and using all the strength left to just simply brush her teeth. Daisy hated seeing her mother this way. She hated the way the chemo made her mother weak and fragile, she hated knowing that she could lose her at anytime.

Clinical Field Experience My clinical field experience was based on a new city I just moved to, Las Vegas Nevada. I allocated 6 hours to observing a local after school program called The Boys and Girls Club.. I would observe a few days a week after work to see how the children interact with others and what tools were being taught even though it was a fun after school program.

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.

Throughout the interview, Xavier’s mother answered the majority of the questions and expressed the difficulties she faces daily while taking care of her son. She also talks about the process of receiving the diagnosis of ASD, as well as a previous diagnosis that was incorrect. Xavier’s mother first noticed something different while comparing his development, mainly his speech, to that of her nephew who was around the same age as her son. She claims that he wasn’t talking at all at the age of 1 ½ and that concerned her. Xavier’s doctor said his speech was probably delayed and suggested a speech therapist as early intervention. His mother claims that he didn’t outwardly appear Autistic to her because he wasn’t withdrawn. She also claims that

Throughout my life, I have been offered many opportunities, including coming to America and being accepted into a private boarding school to further advance my education. I am grateful for the chances offered to me so far, knowing that everybody is not as fortunate as I am. Friends and family, who are proud of my accomplishments, continuously express how much they would sacrifice to be given opportunities such as mine. Since life has offered me such generous choices, I feel like it is only appropriate to give back by using all my resources to become somebody that can aide others. Knowing what the Mini-Medical School Program can teach me, this program is another resource I can use to help others. I don’t waste opportunities, I take full advantage

The psychiatric clinical rotation at Clinch Mountain House was a very prodigious experience. This facility is unique because of the role it plays in the community; it serves to provide daily recreation for the members of the community who suffer from mental illnesses. This facility focuses on providing essential social skills to this community and accomplishes this goal by providing social interaction, a structured schedule, and daily assignments for each member.

Since she got sick she had to pullback socially and physically. Most cancer patients loose that. There’s never really fully a chance to connect to people when you’re stuck in a hospital most of the time and their rest of the time you spend at home still hooked up to machines. Cancer requires you to grow mentally. They can’t be the angry kid who has a negative outlook on life, which is normally how they end up. They begin to wonder why this awful thing had to happen to them. They get angry at everyone and everything because life just had to go pick this out of everything that could’ve happened. They get snappy because constantly being hooked up to machines all the time and seemingly never ending pain can do that to

“Come on in ma’am” I uttered in Spanish to the women clad in a colorful Mayan dress near the entrance of the clinic. It was my first day as a medical volunteer in Guatemala and I had been assigned the duty of interviewing patients and formulating differential diagnoses under the supervision of Dr. Reyes, the clinics' head physician. “Tell me about your headache” I said to the patient as she took her seat. She professed that her headache, which had bothered her for two weeks, was intermittent, diffuse and of moderate intensity. Her headache was often associated with a dry mouth and bouts of fatigue, especially after long days of working under the hot Guatemalan sun. Having neither a pharmacy within walking distance nor money to spare, she had resorted to using cold compresses to aid with her discomfort.

When I initially started planning this paper I was ecstatic to learn what the literature had proven effective for the Native American community and possibly my own people, the Navajo Nation. Since I was a little girl I pledged that I was going to help my people, in any way that I could when I grew up. My main drive behind my profession of choice isn’t for the money obviously, I grew up on the Navajo Reservation, and I have witnessed first hand the detrimental effects of alcohol abuse. My father was an alcoholic he died

Public health nursing is an important aspect of nursing field, which contributes tremendously to the safety and health of our society. Public health nurses work hard to assure our communities are healthy and are able to attain needed support to be self-sufficient. However, it seems their hard work goes unnoticed by vast majority of our society. This of course, is my opinion, but I would say that if I were to survey various communities, most people would say that “Nurses just work in the hospital”. I could be very wrong.

Clinical practice guidelines (CPG) are designed to improve the quality of healthcare services, decrease unwanted, ineffective and harmful interventions for patients. CPG are used to facilitate treatments for each individual patient’s by maximizing the benefits, minimizing the risk of harm and obtain treatment with an acceptable cost. Researchers had proven that CPG is a bridge for change and improving health outcomes. The effectiveness of CPG is perceived to be helpful in clinical decision making. CPG are developed to assist healthcare providers such as doctors and nurses in decision making for specific clinical outcomes (Vlayen, et. al. 2005)

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
