For some jobs you would need teamwork skills to get your tasks done in time. In my placement at Vellore Woods Density most of the time we need to use teamwork skills because we are handling with people’s teeth and need to communicate with each other on what we need such as equipment’s. Patients are sometimes hard to keep them calm when they are all worked up or simply really nervous. We would try to reassure them, and tell them things would work out well.

Having a good trust with you patient is helpful and it makes them more comfortable. For example, in my observation in Jewish General Hospital, I saw an extraction and I learned that the patient would always give a sign to the dental assistant if ever he needed the saliva injector and she would constantly use the saliva injector because it made the patient more comfortable. Even if it was every minute, she would still give what the patient what he wanted because it shows that he trusted her and he was comfortable that way. Constantly asking if the patient is okay also shows how the dental assistant

Working in groups allows employees to engage with one another, split the workload and strengthen relationships with other employees. Employees are able to gain a better sense of their coworkers, alieving any perceptions that may have been established before. Working in groups allows tasks to be completed at a faster rate, while engaging all members actively. An important aspect of working in groups that managers have to monitor is group behavior (Robbins, S.P. et al. 2009). There may be cases where the work load isn’t divided equally, some employees lack motivation, or some employees may be more controlling of others (Liberty University. 2016).

Day-4 clinical experience, I was scheduled to stay in the surgery/OR department to watch some procedure. The surgery/OR department is completely different than Med-Surg department. Nurses who work in the OR department seems very busy and fast when they do the patient assessment on the arrival to the department. In this department, the number-one priority nursing care I have seen was patient safety and requires teamwork and interprofessional collaboration. Because surgery is invasive and involves exposure to various anesthetic agents and drugs, and other environmental hazards, complications are common.
For example, in the health care provider field, the nurses should collaborate with the other health care professional like the doctor, pharmacist, physiotherapy or the radiography in order to achieve the common goal which for the patient’s
