I completely agreed with you about the safety issues that are encountered daily in the surgical areas. There has been implementation of safety intervention to remedy these concerns on patient safety. In most cases, nurses are rushed with the consequences that patients are not properly prepped in the pre-op areas prior to the surgical procedures. Personally I have been in same problem of being rushed to bring the patient in the room.

During this session, we discussed what I would do in certain nursing scenarios. The scenarios helped me to see the situation more clearly. I need to take a moment and assess what is going on and what outcomes should occur. During each day at work, my self-confidence is building. I’m realizing that I do know more than I thought. I was a little apprehensive, in applying the knowledge.

In this article, researchers explored the different ways nursing students learn in a clinical setting. Nursing students reflected on certain learning opportunities that were significant to them in their first year of clinical practice. Students indicated that participating in complex tasks, being emotionally invested in the work they were all doing and finding an experienced nurse to be their role model were among the most important learning opportunities they experienced in their first year. Researchers found that students felt their learning was more meaningful when they were actively engaging in their learning. The article was harder for me to relate to as it only drew from experiences of first-year nurses in a clinical setting; as a second

My journey began with the death of a loved one-my grandmother. At the tender age of 15, I held her hand as she breathed her last. That one memory has influenced all that I have endeavored for.

In this scenario I would have to enlist the help of my client’s health care providers. Her case is based on a form of emotional attachment as well as many other mental health concerns. This client has a long history of dependency problems. My suggestions to the hospice agency would be to confer with this client’s health care providers as well and to keep me updated on their concerns and plans.

The survey results were very interesting and fascinating. I expected scores relating to practices that put patient safety at risk to be much lesser than I originally thought. I was very surprised to see the survey results of coworkers in the healthcare setting taking shortcuts and jeopardizing patient’s safety. In this 21st century where EBP awareness has been created and instilled in every department in healthcare organizations, unsafe practices that involve taking shortcuts in any medical procedure should not happen. Healthcare workers should diligently adhere to these evidence based practices in order for the best patient outcome. This result makes me question the reasons for these unsafe practices by some healthcare workers. One situation

Standards are important to Patient care delivery because it promote and guide clinical practice. It provides patient with clinical proficiency and safety. Healthcare Professional standards are also used to provide a framework for developing clinical competency checklists or proficiency evaluations for a specific clinical unit or employer.
