My Clinical Teaching Experience

For my last class I went to a Montessori school for my practicum field experience, and as you mentioned with the homeschooling, they also use the method that allows the students to learn at their own pace, the students are not rushed into going to the next level just because they have spent too much time in one level. I had never heard of this concept until I went there, when I went to the interview and met the principal she told me "This is a non-traditional school, are you ok with it"? that's when I asked and she began to explain and of course I also looked it up online and learned more, but whatever I knew prior to being in the classroom could not prepare me for what I saw in the classroom of about ten students and all of them working on

in the clinical placement, I developed and culturally applied appropriate communication with clients each week I was there. As I would walk down the hall and see a client I always greeted them. As I would enter the rooms that I would be doing client-centered care I greet and introduce the client that I am a nursing student at Humber College doing my clinical placement. If you welcome yourself into a room without introducing yourself that makes the client not feel safe and feel vulnerable, but by saying hello you build respect and develop a trusting relationship with a client. This demonstrates trust-building strategies to develop a nurse-client relationship, introducing yourself and calling the clients by their preferred name. And providing

Deciding to be a Diagnostic Medical Sonographer was not an easy or fast decision. Like everything else in life, my decision was gradual and time-consuming. However, being involved in the medical field was always something that I longed to do. Most other kids want to be a firefighter, police man, or President of the United States. For me I always knew that my heart belonged in the hospital.

I sincerely believe that I accomplished my goals this week. I realized that I served 14 patients by combining the ability of knowledge, my attitude for excellence that I have consistently defeat the odds to become the very best Nurse practitioner; I can become. This clinical experience brings forth many opportunities and achievements. The most important experience this week; I had the ability to identify as primary healthcare provider a high risk need for the patient to be transferred to the Hospital for further evaluation without delay; due to complaints of “leg cold from the knee down to the feet”, which my evaluation was based on evidence practice knowledge of compassion and skill with the autonomy to practice, diagnose, and treat patients

For my Clinical experience, I was referred to one of community clinics run by nurse practitioners - yes, NPs- in Suffolk County in Long Island by my coworker. It is called “Nightingale Preventative Care.” I am working in the ER and at first, I thought this clinic would be a type of urgent care office which is a similar setting to the ER. I was totally wrong. For the past two weeks, this place has surprised me many ways and I learned about what the community clinic is alike to its neighbors. Patients can be seen by NPs by the appointment. However, it is located inside of K-mart and has many walk-in patients as well. Many patients who come to visit for their check-up have no medical insurance. Every Wednesday, a representative from Fidelis Care insurance company comes and provides information about Medicaid and Medicare service the company has. I really like to sit down with patients and assess about their medical histories and family histories which I cannot do often in the ER. I had a patient who was Hepatitis A Ab, Total positive Abnormal first day I work at the clinic. He didn’t understand what the test result meant and neither did I. I printed out an article from National Library of Medicine and went over with him. Patient’s education in the ER rarely happens from nurses. I felt great to listen what patients tried to lose their weight or quit smoking. I like to continue on developing skills on patient’s education and preventative care measure for patients.

My time spent in the Clinical setting, so far, has been extremely inciteful as to how to become a better educator in a classroom setting. Through the data I collected I was able to connect Borich’s Seven Variables of learning to the students. By being in the clinical setting for nearly two months, I have been exposed to new ways of thinking when it comes to structuring a classroom and instructing a classroom. Within this reflection you will find out how I would better plan an effective lesson for the pupils in my future classroom. You will also discover what I will do about certain issues in the classroom and how I will address/fix them.

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.

Students will respond to the lesson in different ways and often there are “teachable moments” that were not included in the original lesson. The effective teacher can incorporate various instructional strategies to fit the moment and the individual student’s needs at that moment.

Clinical Placements have offered me the opportunity to put into practice what I had studied during the past year but also to grow as a person and change the way I interact with different types of people. At the start of my clinical practice I must admit one of my biggest hurdles was the language barrier between myself and the patient. Being (for the most part) a bilingual country Maltese and English seem to intertwine in conversation, a mix and match of different phrases pushed into each of the other languages sentences. Now while this may be normal for me in everyday conversation, I found myself very uncomfortable and even embarrassed to not be able to speak fluent Maltese to the fluent speakers that so often come to the department. I would imagine myself (as you would) not being able to find the right word in Maltese and switching to using my native English, which I found or at least thought to be quite unprofessional. And so at the start of my clinical placements I more than often tended to observe how patient care played its role in the procedures and for the most part assist in

The article I chose fits with my clinical experience because it discusses the effectiveness of several interventions, including the implementation of ignition interlock devices and educational classes. I attended three classes at DUI School, so it was essential for me to find an article that examines an educational approach to help those who have been convicted of driving while intoxicated. Since some of the students who took classes at DUI School were required to install ignition interlock devices in their vehicles, having information about the effectiveness of ignition interlock devices was a plus. I felt confident that DUI School would prevent people from becoming repeat

My patient Mary Ramussen came to the clinic for dental hygiene services. She is a 66 year old lady taking several medications. All of her vitals were within normal limits at her visit. Vitals are very important to take because a patient may not have any symptoms. Medications can have many contraindications, adverse reactions, or an interaction with other medications. It is important to have knowledge of medications and how to avoid adverse reactions or toxicity. Some medications can interact with local anesthetic with vasoconstrictors and cause effects on the heart. Knowing all medications that a patient is taking is important for knowing what over-the-counter medications to recommend post treatment. Some medications

One of important source of Physiotherapist knowledge is the patient, listening to the patient considers one of the essential profession skills. The main focus in interview is having the patient tell his or her story rather than having the therapists initiate a series of questions to which the patient must respond. Experts confirmed this in their interviews (Jensen, Gwyer, Shepard, & Hack, 2000).The therapist may ask the patient to briefly demonstrate the activity or positions that cause pain, because mechanism of injury is very importance in detecting the condition and diagnoses the type of injury. In Acromioclavicular (AC) the most common mechanism

In contrast, I feel like the most problematic issue I have during nursing school is being unsure of what area I would like to work in once I graduate. I seems like many of my classmates already know where they would like to work, but I am keeping my options open because I am still unsure. Unfortunately, this might hinder me from researching and learning more about a particular field I could be interested in while I am attending clinical field experience in that area. I feel that my goal of simply passing has humbled me and keeps me grounded and willing to accept what I cannot control. Although I cannot control everything, the main aspect of nursing school that I am in control of is how I manage and use my time. I feel like my expectations

Nursing students face many challenges due to their narrow scope of practice, and lack of experience and knowledge. This changes with the development and learning of values and beliefs, which shape the decision making in the nursing process. During my clinical nursing practice experience as a new nursing student, I have had amazing learning opportunities as well as situations that made me feel uncomfortable, powerless, and dependent on the assigned nurse. In this paper I will talk about one of my clinical experiences where I felt powerless, analyze it, and show how the sociopolitical inquiry and power dynamics come into play in my story.

Teaching is not just a job that I perform because I expect a reward at the end of each month; it is my passion and I feel extremely satisfied with every successful lesson. I like to help the society, and teaching gives me a great opportunity to do so. I am passionate about educating my students, so I work with them and motivate them to lead them to find inspiration in learning. I use different strategies to engage them and share with them the knowledge.
