My nurse preceptor today was Patricia. Patricia was an amazing preceptor with an immense amount of knowledge. I enjoyed Patricia’s passion for knowledge. She just finished her DNP. She spoke to me about how she also held two bachelors degrees and a masters in nursing. She was very caring of her patient and showed compassion to not only the patient but the family as well. I don’t think I would have done anything differently because she was a great patient advocate, caring healthcare professional, and great at time management. I was fortunate to have worked with her today in the CICU. We had a 1:1 assignment, a 67 year old male who had a STEMI. Ultimately, he ended up needing an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) to assist his heart. This was placed 8/31.

On Oct 8, 2012, a counsellor from Terry Fox Secondary School brought forward concerns of Sally Brown being abused. Mr. Highcliffe reported that he noticed some bruises on Ms. Brown's upper arm and shoulder. When Mr. Highcliffe asked Ms. Brown about these bruises, she replied with a vague story of being involved in a game with her friends and collided with a wall. To investigate, I visited Ms. Brown at her residence and was informed that her parents were away for an overnight prayer vigil at their church. From initial appearances, Ms. Brown presented as depressed and insisted that I leave. I was able to establish a rapport with Ms. Brown and discussed my concerns about her noticeable bruising. Upon agreement, I took Ms. Brown to the emergency ward of the Prince George Hospital where Dr. Rose, examined her arm and shoulder. From Dr. Rose's medical opinion, the bruising did not appear to be consistent with her story of running into a flat surface such as a wall, rather appeared to have been caused by a blow by a heavy instrument. I confirmed with Dr. Rose that he would be willing to testify in court to his findings about the bruises. On return, Ms. Brown told me that she had not been abused by her parents and that she felt safe at home. From further

The nursing profession has been around for a very long time. Through many changes and reforms, it has drastically evolved into the nursing profession we have today. Nurses have an important role within the healthcare industry in the treatment and medical care of the sick. These trusted healthcare professionals continue to make up the largest majority of the healthcare field, as well as the fastest growing occupation. Nursing is a job that allows people to not only care for the sick but also to experience, learn and further their interest in the human body. This course has definitely provided me an insight to the roots of the profession I would like to pursue. I think it is important to know the history of nursing to understand fully on the problems that are affecting the profession. I believe that we cannot effectively address important issues without a foundation of historical knowledge. In other words, by examining the nursing history, I will be able to appreciate my important role as a nurse in the healthcare system. The topics I will be including in my reflection are the works of Florence Nightingale, the affects of World War II, the challenges of Filipinos aspiring to be nurses, and excerpts in Chapter 10 of “A History of American Nursing.”
