365 Words2 Pages

My nursing experience began in July of 2005, when I began working at Kaiser Permanente as a certified medical assistant. As a medical assistant (MA), the MA can do something as minor as checking someone’s weight, to administering immunizations under the supervision of the LVN or the physician.

    Today, I mainly collaborated with my nurse preceptor and the CNA. I was so excited and pleased to say that my preceptor allowed me to do almost every nursing task and he would assist me whenever needed. Adam and I worked together and efficiently by assisting one another in performing assessments. For example, I would perform vitals and respiratory exams while he performed the cardiovascular exams, then we would each chart our own findings. Also, I was able to prepare all of my clients’ medications and administer them independently; however, although I performed the three rights and six checks while passing medications I would still have him double check everything before administering them just to be safe, especially with medications that I was not familiar with.

    While assessing my reflective on individual practices and precepts, I have appraised high for all areas aside from environmental ambiguity, which I find to some degree hard to handle easily. My foundation of nursing practice is built upon my core principle of integrity, beacuse my faith in Bible reveals that, ”Whoever walks in integrity will be delivered, but he who is crooked in his ways will suddenly fall” (Proverbs 28:18, New International Version). I believe only a true person can be a successful leader. Being truthful to my commitment as a nurse, I will never discriminate anyone who needs care. Nursing is divine profession and God wanted me to provide care for diverse people.
