My Clinical Reflection

Upon reflection of my clinical scenario, I believe I thoroughly integrated Watson’s carative factor encompassing providing a supportive environment by enhancing the comfort and support of Mrs. Jones to provide optimal nursing care. I was intentional on making Mrs. Jones comfortable and ensuring she had a healing environment by using therapeutic touch, providing authentic presence, and providing a caring environment. I was conscious in my actions and thoughts in order to focus on what would ideal

My clinical day of week 3 started pretty much with the same routine. I had to shadow a CNA preceptor and helped her throughout her assignment. By late morning, I have encountered a patient that at first refused to have a conversation with me despite my efforts of searching the right therapeutic questions that will make her open up to me. I founded the situation to be a little bit frustrated and made me feel unsuccessful that I was not be able to form

of patient safety. In this assignment I will employ my reflections on a clinical incident (see Appendix I) that occurred within a community setting where I worked as a third year student nurse, as the basis for discussing the key issue of handover identified previously. Even though this critical clinical incident raises various problems, for the purpose of this assignment and considering the limited word count permissible for the assignment my focus will be on the issue of effective handover among

musculoskeletal assessment; which is important for assessing any soft tissue injury and making clinical decisions. My experience is similar to student nurse’s first time experience on placement and how they felt incompetent to care for their patient assignments. And were scared about making patient care decisions because they would be liable if anything went wrong (Fink et al., 2008). I felt quite overwhelmed after my first day of placement because the day was very busy and I was expected to carry out a

I am in my fourth journal entry and have yet to start my clinicals. I hope to be starting my clinicals next week. The health assessment issue I have faced this week, however involves the equipment that practitioners use to complete an assessment and the proper use of the equipment and how that relates to completing the assessment correctly. When I was approaching the person who had agreed to do this week’s video for the assessment course of what was expected to be completed. After watching the video

Look back: During my third week clinical experience, I did both computer charting and paper charting (for maternal assessment) with nursing care plan. Besides charting, I reported my significant findings of the mother verbally to the primary nurse. Elaborate: It was my first time to complete documentation on my own. When I went on the computer, I felt anxious and had no confidence. While opening my patient’s file, I recalled the story about how a nurse got laid off because she checked on the patient

My clinical experience day 3 was a very challenging one. First, I was not feeling well, and I was still a bit tired from my 12 hour shift on Saturday. However, I was still excited to be at my clinical rotation. The four highlights are the boy with hydrocephalus, giving medication, drawing blood, and assist my preceptor clean the peripheral inserted central catheter line (PICC). The boy with hydrocephalus was an 11 month old baby. He came was brought in to the ER because he was crying, coughing

My personal strengths for this clinical experience were not being afraid to ask questions or admit that I forgot to do something. I believe I am getting more organized every week. I did my assessment charging in the room this week and it went a lot smoother for me. Although I did forget to chart a few things. I still struggle with cardiac assessment and figuring out the language is and how to chart it. I feel like by now I should be charting the right way but I still find myself struggling.

Throughout my clinical experiences, there have been quite a few circumstances I have been placed in that have remained with me whether good or bad. All of them have been learning experiences for me whether it is how to improve and to do better next time from a mistake, for me to learn that this is or is not how a patient should be treated, how to handle family situations, and many others. One experience that I was able to participate in that will remain with me because I had not experienced this

Also, the objective is to find patient’s document finding and correlate it with chronic disease process of elderly adults. With this reflection, I will discuss what I’ve learned, and my strengths and weakness in my clinical experience. Day 1 On Thursday the 9th, I worked with a patient who is a 74 years old male, with general weakness. His admitting diagnosis was caused by the metastasis of prostate cancer to the bone. Talking to the patient was an amazing experience for me because we liked the
