This adaptive test I took too fast. First off to begin, I’m writing these first two reflections at the same time as I didn’t fully understand we had to also reflect on the eportfolio. Knowing this, I will focus more in the future related to things I discussed related to my ati Pharm reflection, as well as my reflection now related to ati medical surgical adaptive quiz. My first fault here was I went too fast. I was constantly looking…
The ATI adaptive Pharmacology assessment went better than expected for my frist adaptive quiz this semester. For one, I ranked in the “Hard” category which is a wonderful start! Although it was 17th percentile, the fact that I made it to the hard was reassuring. This was something that went well. Something that I realized is I want to review pharmacology drugs in general, and review patient teaching and side effects. I found this great PDF with common medications nurses…
One day in my future I aspire to be like the NICU nurse who I interviewed on February 8, 2021. By just simply hearing her stories I could tell she’s an amazing nurse who changes lives each day, even if she doesn’t know it. I learned that in order to join the NICU, you need to give it your all. This was shown with her empathy while talking about certain scenarios she’s gone through. You could hear in her voice…
I believe every nurse should watch this video to not only explore different options of nursing, but to realize how special the career of nursing truly is. There were many things that touched my heart throughout the hour that makes me look forward to becoming an RN very soon. For one, we have the opportunity to change people’s lives every day. This could simply be with a hug, all the way to catching a symptom early and saving someone’s life. …
To begin, I cannot believe I’m in my senior year of nursing school. We’ve all worked so hard to get to this place and I couldn’t be more happy with how much I’ve grown in these past four years. Working towards becoming a Registered Nurse during a sudden pandemic has not been easy to say the least. As a nursing student, I was challenged with constant fluctuations in classes between online and in person, traveling far to different clinical locations,…
One important thing I have learned in clinical is that I have the power to make a difference in patients lives, one patient at a time. To do so, a nurse must remember to not only use empathy, but compassion as well. One story that I always remember is the star fish story. It’s about a five year old girl on a beach in Florida after a hurricane had destroyed their land. There were thousands of star fish washed up…
As said before, Sophomore year at UNE I traveled to Morocco for an experience of a LIFETIME! Below are a few pictures of my adventure to the Sahara Desert!
I believe nurses save lives not only ‘on the clock’, but off the clock too. We are trained how to perform CPR to someone in cardiac arrest, to “stopping the bleed”, or simply knowing that a small sign such a droopy side of the face and slurred speech could mean this person might have a stroke. I have already been to Africa, and although I wasn’t trained yet being a nurse, I was able to see how I would…
