Clinical Leadership Reflection

PART A: DIGNIFIED CARE IN NURSING: Dignity; “the state or quality of being worthy of honour or respect.” (Oxforddictionaries.com, 2016). Nurses must respect patient dignity because they have a duty of care to each client. Without respecting this, a patient may feel they have not received the correct standard of care, which may prolong their recovery time.

Digby (2016) states that empathy is an essential quality for nurses in order to effectively care for a patient with dementia. Perhaps in this scenario I lacked the empathy to care for this patient properly? I was trying to re-orientate Margaret and reassure her that she was in the best place for receiving the help that she needed. This however did not go as smoothly as I had hoped

A pharmacist also has a key role. Pharmacists are healthcare providers that have to communicate with there patients to make sure they can take the medication properly according to their lifestyle, diet, and transportation. The best reason of all is that I get to work directly with patients. Pharmacists are able to see patients anytime during the week, morning, evening, and

Reflection on Medication Administration Description (Competency 3j) I have looked over my moral development regarding medicine administration and have noticed there is the need for improved and has been agreed with my mentor to write a piece of reflection to identify areas of concern Feelings One of the major concern is the pace of dispensing and the time spent used to open charts and allocate them is one of my weakness. Although I am learner I need to back up the pace of dispensing so that patient doesn 't feel my skills is dull or boring and waste of time. I Had developed that feeling of being extra careful to avoid drug error and that makes me feel slightly nervous more also being under the influence of supervision as well. Evaluation

Being the patient's advocate, participating in their care, encouraging independence, and pushing them to be the best that they can be to return to normal health are all important aspects of compassion. When I was working with my patient I felt since I had a smile on my face, a positive attitude, a calming demeanor, and the drive to help her with her care she accepted my help and wanted to get better and participate in

I know medical school will not automatically transform me into a guru in medicine but I am sure it will help me explore possibilities. It is for this reason that I am applying for this program. Thank you for your time in considering this

Firstly, I chose Values, Ethics and nursing practice because it is so important. As much as I stated above there is a lot of grey area it is so important to know your own values and to know what is important to you and to others. Values and ethics play a big role in client care because you may not agree with what a client chooses, for example assisted suicide. It’s not up to you to decide what is right for a client and you have to put your own values and beliefs aside to provide the best client care.

Good quality care depends on effective communication between the care givers and the clients. Providing quality of care can improve the patient’s satisfaction during hospitalization. (The Importance of Clear, Effective Communication in Healthcare, 2016) For the second reason, communication is the main role for every profession, however it is the most crucial in health care setting. Ineffective communication or lack of communication leads to unnecessary problems and misunderstanding in clinical setting such as medical error because of error in diagnosis and treatment.

As I acquire knowledge, skills, and competence, I will become more confident in my role as a registered nurse. The results of this study also made me aware that nursing education may not facilitate my empathy development. To maintain an empathetic, confident attitude in the face of adversity, I must continue to engage with my community, practice nursing skills, connect with empathetic mentors, and lead a balanced lifestyle by eating and sleeping well. I will also strive to finish my readings and assignments a few days before they are due to reduce academic stress. I must continuously remind myself why I am pursuing a career in registered nursing: to promote health and to change people’s lives in Canada and around the

Abandonment and Nursing The career of nursing is more than just healing the sick. Nursing often causes nurses to face moral and ethical dilemmas. “Ethics refers to principles of right and wrong behaviors, beliefs, and values (Zerwekh & Garneau, 2015, p. 420).” When new graduate nurses begin their careers the first twelve months are a great time to gain a better understanding of personal beliefs and how they can affect patient care.

In the article “The physician assistant: would the US model meet the needs of the NHS?” Linda Hutchinson, Tom Marks, and Mike Pittilo state that only the best qualities of the US physician assistant would help the NHS meet its needs and that the US program should not be directly modeled. The NHS could benefit from implementing more staff that is not specialized and that can work in any general practice. The United States went through a similar shortage of primary care workers and developed the physician assistant which could practice medicine under the supervision of a physician. Medical schools in the United Kingdom would be able to provide education and training for a physician assistant.

They may have a lack of confidence in their ability to adapt to new technologies, or may perceive the change as a threat. Some nurses have adopted a short cut process of administering medication to save time, which is pre-pouring medications. Workaround is another big barrier which occurs when nurses pass the medication without scanning the medication and the patient’s identification (ID) band, to save time and scan them later. Which is dangerous, and a high risk for making an error. The change agent or the nurse leader will need to use the driving forces that will help the project to be successful.

As a naturopathic physician, I will work to continue this level of integration beyond the field of oncology. I want to always work with my patients and other medical professionals to ensure that the patients are receiving the care that best helps their particular situation. Each patient is different and responds to different treatment modalities better than others. As a naturopathic physician, I will be skilled in a range of those modalities, but not all of the modalities that could help my patients. I want to work with other health practitioners to ensure that my patients
