Rotation

When I was doing my leadership rotation in the emergency room, I came across a situation where a patient’s religion conflicted with proper medical care. The patient was a 53-year-old male who looked extremely pale and lethargic. Although he was lethargic, the patient was alert and oriented to self, time and place. Thus, qualifying him as a mentally competent individual to make his own health care decisions.  After having labs drawn, his hemoglobin came back at 6.0. When the doctors received the lab

This week my clinical rotations took place at Morehead Simkins Independent Living Center and Well Springs Solutions’ Adult Enrichment Center (ACE) respite care. My time at Morehead Simkins consisted of a home visit to one of the residents, where I used the nursing process to provide patient-centered care. The nursing process was applied to health maintenance for the resident (SLO# 2). While visiting the ACE respite care at First Baptist Church I recognized the impact the environment has on the health

clinical rotation include benefits in therapeutic communication, psychiatric diagnoses, and greater awareness of mental illnesses. The student nurse has adapted awareness this semester in considering psychiatric illness in all clinical settings even outside the behavioral health unit. Psychiatric illness is in all areas of healthcare and the student nurse is appreciative that she has obtained greater knowledge in how to care and approach these individuals appropriately. During this rotation, the

During my clinical rotation in the surgical department at VCH, I was able to observe two surgeries. I observed a skin graft placement on a five-year-old male patient. I also was able to observe the end of a pyloromyotomy on a three-week-old female. I spent the majority of my day in the OR shadowing a nurse but was able to spend a little bit of time in the PACU. During my rotation, I interacted with several members of the OR team including surgeons, surgical techs, anesthesiologists, and several

Instinct This clinical rotation allowed me the opportunity to experience the maternity-newborn aspect of nursing. The nursing specialty I have not considered nor have I imagined myself to be doing. But, performing hands-on intervention and firsthand provision of care to a newborn might have changed all of my perception. This was my first maternity floor clinical rotation. The experience was completely different compared to the previous clinical assignments. During this clinical, the focus

My clinical rotation for the fall semester of my junior year is with the King’s College Men’s soccer team. As an athletic training student, I hold a lot of responsibilities regarding the prevention, evaluation, diagnosis, management, and treatment of these student athletes. Most of my daily activities can be separated into three groups, the pre-practice, pre-game, during the activity, and post- practice and post-game.  Along with knowing human anatomy, other important characteristics of an athletic

Hello, Dr. Heuschnieder, I have completed my first week of clinical rotation at the New York Presbyterian hospital, and the only project that was assigned to me is to design a lesson plan for their Bladder Scanner. It took me less than a few hours to complete the project. The rest of the week, I was just sitting in the director's office Mr. Warly doing nothing. All he was doing is haveing phone conference calls all day, and he is not teaching me anything. I don't think he understood the role as a

Throughout my Clinical rotation this week in the community, I have had the honour of getting to know at least an individual each day who is trying to bounce back to life and move forward with their mental health condition and their stories of challenges, and I can confidently say that not one story is the same. Throughout the week I have grown to understand that the phenomena of “recovery’” requires self- awareness, drive and acceptance to operate outside the box in improving one’s quality of care

have the same formulation. In order to perform this exercise, I will need to create a homemade polarimeter in order to measure the angle at which the brands of ibuprofen will reflect light, resulting in finding out if the chosen brands have a varied rotation of light. I believe that the different brands will reflect at different angles based off of its chirality. After performing the tests, the results I have gathered led me to believe that my hypothesis was proven to be wrong. The Motrin, Advil, and
