The At The Nursery Gates

On their first day with the nursery staff receive an induction, which makes them fully aware of the nursery policies and procedures and outlines their role and responsibilities and what is expected of them as an employee of the nursery. The induction also covers the emergency exits and evacuations procedures, safeguarding and child protection, inclusion and equality policy and the general health and safety for the nursery as a whole.

I walked into the classroom to see all my new pupils, I was nervous at first but then Miss Maudie introduced me to the class and everything was fine. I wrote my name on the board and told them what it said and where I am from. The class just murmured back to me. I started the day by reading the children a story about cats, I think they liked it but then again some of them did seem immune to imaginative literature. After reading I went to the blackboard and printed the alphabet in large

I arrived ten minutes before to the classroom because I wanted to have a time to introduce myself with my cooperating teacher, the classroom assistant and especially with the children. Maria who is the Lead Teacher explain me about their daily

room. It was just like the movies, the two white swinging doors, all the TV

When I arrive to the facility this morning I was informed that one of the patients had passed away during the night, which was quite sad. Today I was in the acute ward all day and was able to watch the RN perform an ECG on a man that was bought in via ambulance who was complaining of chest pain. I watched as she placed the ECG leads on different positions of the chest. The RN showed me what a normal heart rate should look like. I also went around the ward taking OBS and notice that one of the patient's O2 levels were very low at 73%, the RN then gave the patient some ventolin through a mask to increase oxygen levels and they rose to 95%. The RN also showed me the medication charts and how they are to be read. I went around with her watching

I visited in a School Age Care Center to take an interview with the supervisor of the school age care center to get the answer to my previous assignment’s (grade K-3) question, now I am providing all her answer related to my questions following in my writing.

During my clinical competency placement, I was working on a surgical ward when a registered nurse on duty asked me to assist Mr. A with his shower. This incident happened on the fifth day of my clinical practice. He was a dementia patient and had undergone right knee total joint replacement. She also informed me that the patient did not like too many people in his room because of his dementia. When I went into his room, his wife was there with him. I talked to the patient about having a shower and getting dressed to look smart and he agreed to have a shower. The patient got out of the bed and walked to the bathroom and sat on the shower chair to have his shower. Then I asked his wife if I needs to stay with him to assist with shower, she said she can help him as she was taking care for him at home since he has been diagnosed with dementia. Therefore, I left the patient with his wife to help with his shower and told her to ring the bell if she needs any help. After some time I left the room, the wife rang the bell. As soon as I entered the room, I heard him shouting at his wife and she started crying and left the hospital. So I had to stay with him. He was very capable of washing himself and I just had to help him wash his back as he requested. After he had washed, I asked him if he was ready to get out of the bath, he started shouting at me.

The patient was located on the fifth floor and as I was bringing them down the elevator, there was a family member of a patient in the elevator. Under HIPAA regulations, I cannot allow others to view the patient confidential information that I had in my hand. As we got to our stop I told the patient to follow me through the mechanical doors. I told the patient to wait in cubical 2 and that the nurse will be with then in a few moments. In addition, I will be getting them a warm blanket once I come back. I headed to leave the binder at the receptionist desk in the OR where they had another patient pick-up waiting for me. Before I left, I went to get the patient a warm blanket from the storage area that had temperature control. I gave it to the patient and left. Ronnie saw me and asked me if I did the patient pick-up alone, I said yes and he was surprised. Usually he needed to teach others in order to know what exactly they had to do. The only reason why I knew that I had to do everything that I did was because Ronnie told me everything verbally. He did not have to show me what to

Hi everyone, I am observing on Wednesdays from 8-10 and Fridays 3-4 in Cuesta Children’s Center Preschool 2. I believe a child’s environment can affect their mood, social skills, ability to learn, mental health, and physical health. These essential elements need to be meet or it will affect their adult lives. I feel the Cuesta Center does a remarkable job of offering all of these, and has wonderful transitions throughout the day. I enjoy observing the teachers modeling acceptable class room behaviors, asking open-ended questions while using descriptive language to help to expand children’s speech, and they were engaged in the children’s presents. I was engrossed with how the class offers multiple opportunities for children to broaden their

Her daughter enjoyed the variety of activities and that no meeting was the same. Mai was satisfied that she found an activity that her daughter enjoys. However, during the summer while the unit was on break, the leaders emailed to the parents that they may have to close the unit as they were unable to run the unit the following year, they requested any parent that was interested in running the unit to contact them. It was disappointing to Mai that the activity her daughter was happy to be involved with was closing. She decided to get in touch and see what running the unit entailed and she learned that another parent was interested too. Mai and the other parent decided to give it a try, the leaving leaders tried to give as much advice as possible and provided all their lesson and activity-planning note. The district commissioner also offered to come to some meeting if they are having any

Delicia Carter and I brought in my daughter yesterday evening into the Urgent Care. When I arrived, there was no one at the desk to greet me or ask what my check complaint was. I proceed to sit down until someone returned back to the front desk. After about 15 minutes went by, a young lady returned and sat down and did not acknowledge that I was waiting. I then went to her desk and told her I was trying to get my daughter seen for abdominal pain. The young lady asked for me to fill out paper work and bring it back up and when I finished. That took about 5-7 minutes for me to complete. I returned the paperwork and she told me to have a seat and the nurse would be right out to bring me back. After about another 20 minutes, I returned to the test

Today was a very good day at New Foundations. After taking a tour of the facility I decided to stay with the older male group. The nurse told us that other nursing student groups mentioned that this group was boring because they did not talk with the students. She said that they were not use to having students visit, so she was unsure of how they would be. Prior to interacting with the group of boys we began reading through their charts. As we were reading their charts some of the boys came up to us to ask us questions. Afterwards we split up and played pool and cards with the boys. They were very open to talking with us. As Sydni and I were playing cards with two of the boys they began opening up to us. They shared their stories and what they

During my first day of clinical, I met with my clinical instructor and my classmates in the lobby around 2:15 p.m. The goal was to take a tour of the facility and get acquainted with the staff. The lobby was warm and inviting, with wood floors and comfortable furniture. It was also busy with clients being discharged or coming in for the initial intake. One client, in particular, was sitting behind me wearing handcuffs along with two police escorts. The client gave an impression of being stable while sitting there. It seemed as if he was coming from Baylor Hospital. Nurses from other facilities were there filling out paperwork and checking in their patients. Family members were also there picking up their loved ones. The clients were escorted by mental health technicians, to ensure the safety of the client. On many occasions, mental health technicians provide direct patient care under the supervision of a registered nurse. Their primary responsibilities include the provision of a safe and therapeutic milieu, crisis intervention and activities of daily living.

I was working night shift in a level 3 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit facility and my 10 days orientation was over. It was my first day working without my preceptor. Since I was a new staff, the charge nurse allocated two stable babies for me. One was Baby Zahra, a 33 weeks preemie, on room air, with nasogastric tube, with peripheral intravenous line to keep the vein open and feeding with expressed breast milk every 3 hours. I started my shift with a bit of nervousness knowing that I am on my own and wondering if I can remember everything that my preceptor had taught me during our orientation. I started my assessment and observed Baby Zahra to be pale, her skin was slightly mottled. I checked her vital signs. The cardiac monitor showed that she

When arriving at the family’s home the door was open and the child was waiting for the family consultant and student intern to enter. The mom greeted both women and gestured them to become situated in her home either on the couch or floor. The family’s home was quiet, lit mostly by natural sunlight and an overhead light, and was fairly clean. Mom and son had out his toys and things that he
