Enabling Professionalism Reflection

Patient empowerment: Patient empowerment in the international point of view is seen as a portion of the human side of healthcare. To gain the empowerment requires time and patients need to be strong in order to gain greater outcomes. With mutual trust gained from the nurse and patient, both nurse and patients will gain the confident. Being a Malaysian I am proud to say that our Malaysia Ministry of Health, had strongly support patient empowerment and each individual are responsible for their own health. It is believed that, regulations and enforcement activities are the tools to facilitate and enhanced individuals and the communities towards self empowerment.

The nurse who has good fair-mindedness will give care holistically. The nurse who has intellectual courage will able to see another view of point. The nurse who has accountability will take full responsibility for his or her actions. The nurse who has punctuality will be reliable and will work his or her full shift.

Strong relationship does engage the team to work together and here the nurse leader’s role is important as they need to be fair with all their team members at all times. The nurse leader need to understand that as a human everyone does occasionally makes mistakes. If criticize is required, the nurse leaders need to be more tactful and give constructive feedback rather than destructive feedbacks. An effective nurse leader will be able to built an atmosphere where everyone respect each other and putting the team first, making it clear to the team that the nurse leader is more interested in group achievement rather than personal gains. It is not doubtful that there are many challenges that the nurse leaders need to face in order to carry out their role effectively and

It is through these principles of Partnership, Protection, and participation that allow Maori to practice traditional methods in terms of health (McKinney & Smith, 2005, p.48-49). Carrying-out research around midwifery partnership I have gained a clearer insight into the importance of the relationship between women and midwives and can assert that partnership can be pinned to the code of ethics which state examples of a midwife's responsibilities to the women, wider community, colleagues and profession. Through these theoretical concepts, a midwife is able to create, maintain, and enhance relationships through trust and empowerment. In conclusion, this essay provided and understanding of the scope of practice and its relevance to the midwifery profession as well as, the roles in how midwifery is regulated and supported by the Midwifery Council of New Zealand and The New Zealand College of Midwives.

Nurses are determined to accomplish one thing in their career; save and change lives. That being said, nurses must have the determination and drive to do what every it takes to assist their patient. Nurses are naturally determined to make sure that their patients are able to recover and return back to their normal lives. As described in Fundamentals of nursing: The art and science of nursing care, “Autonomy is the right to self-determination.

In my assessment concerning the professionalism of Mrs. Perez, she is a character with a gift in counseling that makes her appropriate for a counseling job particularly the one that deals with women. Her counseling changes live and she has been able to assist many women to change for the better. From my experience with her, I feel like this is the best career for me and I have to pursue it by any means. The method through which she approaches things is the best and can be of significant help to many women with similar problems.

Integrating theories of nursing, applying leadership and management strategies, integrating research and evidence based practice, influences of the health care policy and regulatory environment, collaborating with health care professionals, participating in professional activities, using technologies, being innovative, and adapting various decision strategies are needed to provide culturally competent care for individuals, families, and communities. The list of outcomes is deemed in order for us students to provide culturally competent care to our patients. The paper does a great job in accomplishing these outcomes and understanding them better for

Transformational leader allows nurses to make their independent decisions and encourages them to improve. Although leadership and management always come together, the two roles are not the same. While leaders focuses on people and relationships, managers concentrates on the task at hand (Cite website). Though I have only met a few nurse managers, I think the best management style for a new nurse is a coaching manager since their focus is the professional development of their followers. New nurses need someone who is willing to help their employees and able to provide opportunities for professional.

It is very easy to get wrapped up in the day to day tasks that we complete as nurses. But in order to give our patients the best possible care, we must look at our day through a holistic lens. The following essay will outline the theory as created by the “lady with the lamp” Florence Nightingale. We will look at the different components that are important to a patient’s health and outline on to incorporate these components into current practice.

The most dominant characteristic overall that being a nurse requires is resilience. Nurses must resist the symptoms of stress and be able to quickly recover from difficult situations. A study in the book Support for Caring and Resiliency Among Successful Nurse Leaders, supports the practice of self-care, responsibility, and reflection to increase resilience (Dyess, Prestia, and Smith 108-110). Self-care involves attending to self-cues by listening to the body to maintain balance. For instance, having a job in the health department can seem never-ending, and as a result pushes clinicians to continue working until the job is finished, despite how tired and possibly burnt out he or she is.

Our mission is to help everyone we can with their self-esteem because as women we have to work together to help each other not go against one another.

Evidence-based practice will definitely be more likely to thrive in environments where nurses feel they are being supported by both management staff and available resources. When nurses are offered further resources such as hands on training or simulation training that is backed by evidenced based research they can feel more secure and confident in the job they are able to perform during their shift. Nurses can thrive in their work place organization by building onto their basic knowledge and therefor enabling the nurse to climb the clinical ladder. As our book states “continuing to apply learning contributes to ongoing evidence based practice as one uses newer research and theory as a part of one’s practice.” Nurses who take control of their

Evidence based practice is using the most recent research to asses the patient and provide them with the best outcome. “The NMC’s (2015a) Code: Professional Standards of Practice and Behaviour for Nurses and Midwives states that it is the responsibility of each nurse and midwife to maintain their knowledge and skills and to practice using the best available evidence.” The purpose of this paper is to mention challenges that nurses face when trying to implement EB, blah blah blah. What it is what it isn’t why it makes a difference and why its crucial.

My fieldwork instructor has advised me that I am doing great. I demonstrate effective communication, which is necessary to talk to nurses and certified nursing assistants. I was advised there is nothing that I should/could be doing differently now. An occupational therapy practitioner and cna both work on activities of daily living, self-care, and bathroom business.

There would be situations to challenge my clarity of being a safe practitioner in the clinical learning and development practices. For example, even though there is time pressure when administering medications to my patient with a buddy RN, I have to ask to check MIMS about pharmacological action if the drug is new to me, or to check patient’s pulse rate for a full minute. As a student nurse, I have to practice to stand up for my limited clinical skills and knowledge. The best way to improve my leading and learning skill is to actively seek guidance from the clinical facilitator and feedback from incumbent nurses.
