Self Reflection Essay Nursing

692 Words3 Pages

Weekly Self S.O.A.P - A.
S- Discuss your SUBJECTIVE feelings for this week: Thursday, I went to an event hosted by Northbay hospital which taught PSA high schoolers the basics of CPR on adults, children and infants. It was really rewarding to see kids wanting to learn how to perform CPR and asking very valid intelligent questions on how to perform CPR. Friday, I went back to my home grounds and did my clinicals at med surg. After spending a few days in med surg, I realized I really do not like med surg. I find I am not that interested in the disease processes the patients have. I would rather change baby diapers than adult ones. Engaging in conversations with med surg patients is more intellectually challenging than infants, but give me NICU any day over med surg.

I am getting use to navigating through Cerner to get to what I need for my patients. I still need to gain confidence in myself and trust that I know how to perform skills. I love my nurse Abbi and feel she is really good about explaining procedures, policies, how to admit new patients and discharge patients. She is a bit of a control freak so she doesn’t really allow me to do things on my own but I know I can learn the skills when I get hired wherever I go next. Abbi has been the only nurse who really takes the time to explain things to you instead of treating you like a task person. I did not do very well with my communication skills this week. For example, when Abbi discussed with me how we tended to talk over each other a few times, I should have asked her to clarify and give me a specific incident. I knew which incident she was talking about but I just nodded my head and listened to her. I feel like as a nursing student, we are there to learn from the nurses and when they give us advise, we should listen and apply it when

  • Josie King Rhetorical Analysis

    I respectfully disagree with you. In your post you stated “I believe that as a nurse I might have more knowledge of what is best for the health of the patient.” I don’t believe that a medical professional always “has more knowledge [or always knows] what is best for the health of the patient”. The Josie King story is a good example of the nurse thinking she “had more knowledge” and knew what was best for the patient. Mrs. King questioned the nurses several times throughout the care of her daughter, and if a nurse had listened to her, we might not be having this discussion today.

    Many nurses do not get involved in health care policy even though the nurse should. Most nurses do not know much about health care policies, some view it as “foreign and complex” (Falk, 2014, p. 203). I consider myself one of the nurses that do not know much about health care policy and I am one of the nurses that do not get involved in health care policy. I do not get involved with health care policy because I was never taught about it, so I do not want to get involved in something that I do not know much about. I look forward to learn more about health policies and becoming more involved in health policies.

I agree with all of these values and believe some I will need to work on myself such as competence, illness prevention and patient education. Others I believe I have based on my experience I have already had while caring for others. Some of the qualities I believe I have include: caring, compassion, dependability, empathy, focusing on the patient- defining quality of life, having a holistic patient centered care, kindness, openness to learning, respect for others their dignity and worth and sensitivity.

    This week I had the opportunity to spend some time in both the OR and Endoscopy unit. Going into the practice days I was excited and optimistic about what I was going to take away from the experience, as I considered my possible future in working in the operative setting. However, by the second day of practice, I realized that I wasn’t overly excited about either of the units and that the expectations I had set out, didn’t quite match up like I had hoped. Even though I don’t feel as though nursing in either of the units is for me, I was able to take away new knowledge that I believe has enhanced my overall nursing practice.
