This Past Week Was My Second Week In My Final Rotation

She was a happy teen who shared pictures of her baby shower and also some pictures of the baby’s room. She was accompanied by her mother and her boyfriend who was not the father of her child. Both of them were very supportive during labor and everything progressed smoothly. Once the she delivered the baby, we saw that the baby was born with a cleft lip. The mood in the room changed completely and the patient’s family was distraught by the baby’s deformity. The patient’s boyfriend left without saying anything to her. The patient refused to hold the baby and give her new baby girl skin-to-skin touch. The patient’s mother was holding the baby in her arms with tears in her eyes. Without drawing any conclusion we talked to her about the situation. Although it was hard to get her to share her feelings, we waited patiently while we did the routine assessments on the mother and the baby. This enabled us to connect with our patient to better understand her feelings. After about an hour after our persistent effort the patient wept and told us that she was more disappointed that her boyfriend had left after seeing the baby. This had in turn created an aversion towards the baby. Later, I was able to find the boyfriend in the waiting area. I explained to him the patient’s feelings and he later decided to join the patient in her room. The patient felt much better seeing her boyfriend and

As I begin my fifth year of working as a nurse practitioner in a leading children’s hospital, I am certain the pediatric acute care setting is where I will continue my career of service to children and their families. Although I hold a masters degree in nursing and have been a primary care certified pediatric nurse practitioner for many years, I wish to expand my knowledge of pediatric nursing to encompass the unique and challenging aspects of pediatric acute care.

As a medical assistant student I participated in a month long internship at North Country Family Health Center in Watertown New York. I was interning at the Health Center where I was active with many Medical Assistants and LPN’S.

On my second day of clinical experience this week I focused a lot on time management and documentation for a full patient load, and also on the admission and discharge process. After taking report on all three of our patients, I began my initial morning assessments. It was clear that our 8-year-old post-operative appendectomy was ready to be discharged. My priorities were assessing her incision sites and ensuring the presence of bowel sounds, as well as making sure she did not have a fever and was tolerating a general diet. After completing my assessment and documenting in the computer, we

Nursing has always been a passion of mine ever since I began working on the Pediatric unit at the University of Arizona Medical Center. I thought by interning here, I would make a difference in someone’s life. However, those kids and family members were the ones who had the biggest impact on me. These kids taught me the importance of perseverance during difficult times which gave me the motivation and passion to work hard in my courses to get a 3.7 gpa.

Mercy Medical Center in Rockville Centre provided me with life lessons I will never forget—kindness and humbleness. Spending my free time in this facility has given me bliss. The patients became my family; I knew their families, their kids, and even their grand-kids. I spent hours getting to know these patients—their stories, their likes, their dislikes. It was refreshing to do their errands, to help them, to feed them, to care for them. At this hospital I learned more than what the doctors and nurses do. I learned more than the mechanics of a hospital. I learned about the patients. I learned what I want to do in life. I learned that eventually I would like to become a medical doctor—to combine my love of biology and assisting

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.

Inspired by the team of physicians, I organised a week of work experience at Musgrove Park Hospital in Year 11. I learned the joys of successfully nursing patients to good health; shadowing

Medical Student Clinical Rotations – I worked in diverse outpatient specialty clinics with a team of health care professionals obtaining a detail patient medical and health histories, executing physical examinations, relating the finds to supervising physician and participating in a discussion about lab and image tests as well as best treatment options. Furthermore, I was responsible for

UMKC’s mission to prepare nurses and health professionals as leaders thus improving health outcomes inspires me to participate in a program with such high standards of care. In being a member of a collaborative team I know I can become a transformational leader with a vision set forth to achieve great outcomes. Thank you for your consideration for your spring 2018 pediatric nurse practitioner

Over the course of the semester I participated in numerous meetings within the administrative and clinical departments, alongside the CEO, Vice President, interdisciplinary teams, nurses, and nurse’s assistant, to discuss the future of healthcare and the importance of quality of care for the patients. In addition, I completed a prevalent amount

This Friday, September 15th, I had my clinical observation experience in the ED. I was there from 7:00 am till noon, viewing the flow and duties of the nursing staff on the unit, as well as practicing the skills I have thus learned in school. Throughout most of the morning, I followed Jessica, who had been a nurse in the ER for ten years. It was an insightful experience that broadened my previously limited knowledge of the roles and experience of an emergency nurse.

I can’t believe how fast time flies! I finally finished my last clinical practicum and will be graduating in 2 weeks. My clinical experience in this semester was amazing. I loved every part of it. During this clinical experience, I felt that I was given a lot of opportunities to improve my nursing/ clinical skills and clinical thinking skills. My preceptors taught me a lot and provided a lot of guidance in my project. I felt that I become more independent and have developed confidence and ready to practice my new AGMS skills that I have obtained in this clinical practicum. Before going into this clinical practicum, I did not have as much knowledge on pediatrics and neonatal intensive care as I do now. If I didn’t know a specific topic on pediatrics

It was an unpleasantly early morning in the hospital waiting room. Nurses buzzed around, busy attending to their patients while a faint beeping sound could be heard in the background. I was starting my second shift of the day at the hospital, just finishing working a shift in the dark, grimy morgue. Groggy, I sat down at my desk to begin another four hours of labor. My position was to assure that the paper work was properly completed and that all patients were attended too. While being a supervising nurse was a great responsibility, it left time to day dream.
