Nurse Narrative Analysis

For my Project Life presentation, I chose to do mine on a registered nurse. The reason I chose to do mine on a registered nurse is because I love to help people. When I help people, it gives me a great feeling. A registered nurse is a nurse who has graduated from a college's nursing program or from a school of nursing and has passed a national licensing exam. In order to be a registered nurse you must have either your associates or bachelors degree. You can get a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN), if you want to advance in the profession. You can also get a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN), it may lead to advances such as: Clinical Nurse Specialist, Anesthetist Nurse, Mid-wife Nurse, or a Nurse Practitioner.

Dez' Janani Mangram is currently a freshman enrolled at Clayton State University working hard on her BA degree in Biology to become a surgeon. She has never been a huge fan of writing, but coming to college has helped her gain more knowledge on how essays should be organized and constructed. She has written many essays and reports since coming to Clayton State, she plans on writing many more reports as she further her medical career. In the future she plans on using writing as way to distribute out patients medicine, and write down signs and symptoms of a patient. She feels that writing is important in the medical field because just one little mistake you make writing down someone prescription can cause epic problems in their

I am starting the Family Nurse Practitioner program this fall in order to further advance my career as a nurse while pursuing my passion. I have been a medical-surgical and intermediate care nurse for the past four years. Along my journey as a nurse I have experienced many different roles from floor nurse, preceptor, to supervisor. My favorite role I had as a nurse was on the glycemic unit which I had the privilege to help get up and running.

Today I shadowed a registered nurse. I saw a variety of appointments. The first pt was in for a well child check up. The nurse recorded her vital signs and asked several safety concern questions about her lifestyle and home life. The pt also received a portion of the HPV vaccine. The HPV vaccine can cause fainting spells or an allergic reaction, so the pt had to wait 15 minutes after receiving the vaccine for observance purposes(S). Between each pt, the rooms were cleaned and a new sheet of paper was stretched out over the bed(IC). The next pt was a 6-week-old baby who had been hospitalized for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). RSV(D) is a common and very contagious virus that affects the respiratory tract. RSV in babies can lead to serious problems like breathing rapidly and cause the lips and fingernails to become cyanotic(MT1). The last pt has a history of repeated ear infections. The doctor suggested a

As I look back on all of the papers that I wrote during high school, I remember all of the stress that I endured. I remember struggling with writing

Today, my kismet, had other plans. A knock on the door resounded, followed by a heaving breath, the twisting of the doorknob, and a bang as the door shut. My eyes widened when instead of a nurse, an unfamiliar face burst into my room and my reality. Two tantalizing grey eyes peered into my own, a wild mix of fury and contention battling to surface. The latter claimed the victory. Opening a green folder, the boy steered his gaze on a stack of papers. He flipped through them until an aqua colored paper stood out to him, and ripped it from the folder. His eyes scanned the paper until he read something that turned his nonchalant expression,

It was the morning of August29,2005,as we sit in the fourth floor of the hospital room my mother is in, all of a sudden we hear heavy rain and powerful wind that was going about 140 miles per hour. We thought it might be a regular storm because it was already raining for hours , but then all the televisions and the phones and power all of a sudden go out and thats not normal at all. The nurses had to get all the "bed ridden" patients out the rooms and into the hallway as they are doing this the nurses got into panic mode.. and started DROPPING medication and giving patients medication they do not need.. and then it was this BIG striking that hit the side of the building and broke all the windows.. so then we where trying to make sure we didnt get hit by the glass.The nurses got out of luck and one screamed " We are going to die anyway", as soon as she said that everybody got out of hope and stopped trying to survive. Also after she said that one of the other nurses came and gave my mother a pill but I smacked it out her hand and told my mom she is not taking it. Over 3O patients that was there died and they demanded that all the visitors leave the hospital even though

Nursing is all I’ve wanted to do since i was 8-years old. I was the little girl who would pretend to be the nurse with a white sheet like it was my coat, and wearing my mother’s stethoscope checking heartbeats. My mother bought me a medical kit and everyday i’d check everyone’s heartbeat, blood pressure, and vitals. But at that age all I knew was i had to hold their wrist for a while not knowing what i’m feeling for, writing random numbers in a notebook, and putting my ear against their chest waiting for the “thump-thump” sound. They’d go along with me and I’d think to make the pain go away is to give it a kiss and a band-aid. Until my mom said “ Chanel stop using all the band-aids”. Then, I had to cut down on my practices.

I stare fascinated as the doctor deftly slices through the patient’s flesh. Hands operate swiftly on the supine body; not a trace of doubt could be found in the movements.

During many years the role of school nurse was traditionally viewed as one where the nurse cared for students that were injured, applied bandages and gave out ice bags. Throughout the years the role of the school nurse has evolved into one of leadership and management along with many other duties including traditional roles as mentioned above. The services provided by a school nurse range from assessment and screening to coordinating care for regular students as well as students with special needs. School nursing requires experience and knowledge in school, public, community and emergency health to meet the many needs of school aged children and youth. The school nurse provides many services but the basic services provided include

It is Connor’s last semester in medical school. In order to earn an internship at a top-rank hospital, Connor must write a ten page reflective essay on which part of medicine impacted him the most. Connor has no idea what to write about as multiple ideas come to mind but none of them are his own. Like all writers, Connor must make sure he avoids obvious content and instead give his genuine and original idea to allow the reader to understand how he truly feels about the specific topic. To be able to provide a clear visual of what impacted him the most, Connor, like all writers, must slip out of abstraction when writing and provide enough detail to not just help the reader visualize but to also embody the experience, leaving a lasting impression. While providing enough detail to help the reader visualize their vision, the writer must make sure they avoid padding and be as direct as possible. Being direct will help Connor reflect and share his experience while keeping the reader engaged and demonstrating a better understanding of how he feels. Consequently, all writers can write well by projecting their own voice while keeping the material fresh, providing detail for a more vivid experience, using strong evidence, and establishing their own voice amongst other writers.

I was assigned the first scenario (Lydia) for this week's discussion. I contacted Deborah Funk via telephone. I explained the scenario to her and she explained to me why it is I am having such a difficult time answering this question after reviewing the Nurse Practice Act and the section that governs the scope of Practice for APRN's in Missouri. She explained that the Missouri State Board of Nursing and the Nurse Practice Act will be the least restrictive on the scope of practice for APRN's. The organizations and the institutions of employment along with the Joint Commission will be the most restrictive when it comes to the scope of practice for APRN's (D. Funk, personal communication, July 14, 2015). I was unable to find an age range

As age increases, so do the number of responsibilities assumed in our lives. We have careers, family that needs taking care of, and homes that need maintenance. These responsibilities can be obstacles when returning to school and obtaining a higher degree such as a Master’s of Science. Although there are challenges, the drive for higher learning never subsides in some people. In this paper, I will review my reasons for continuing my education and obtaining my Master’s degree in Nursing and discuss my short- and long-term goals as well as what challenges I may face to achieve these goals. I will also analyze my strength and weakness in

Due to a miscommunication, my first day at the hospital was in the ER to work with a nurse. I was extremely disappointed. Turns out, Grey's Anatomy isn’t the reality. Stuck analyzing the codes of a screen I began to wish I had not shown up.

There are two interesting stories I would like to mention before I start. The first one is called “Bisclavret” written by Marie de France. This is a story about a baron named Bisclavret who regularly turned into a werewolf, was betrayed by his wife, but finally regained all his status and honor back by showing loyalty to the king. The second story is a gothic literature named “The Old Nurse’s Story” written by Elizabeth Gaskell. This story is mainly about how the first person narrator Miss Hester and her little Rosamand strive to survive in the haunted mansion and how they get to know the secrets of the ghosts. In this writing I will compare the two different narration
