Since when I was a child, I've always liked the idea of helping people. And what's better than a nurse for this?

My aunt is a nurse and she was the one that inspired me in this choice.

Doing "General Nursing", I have been lucky to have this occasion of working with children, because even when it's a bad day, they always manage to put a smile on your face. I am loving this first year of internship because it's convincing me everyday about what I want to do in my future.

I am glad of what I am doing and my family is proud of me, too.

I've always liked TV series more than movies, because "they never have an end".
When I talk about TV series I mean mostly medical drama: Chicago Med, The Good Doctor but especially Grey's anatomy. This serie makes me emotional every time I watch it, it represents the bonds between people that are created in the hospital, because being everyday and for the whole day there, the people you get more close to are your colleagues, because they are the only ones that will always get you at 100%.
This serie also represents the love healthcare professionals have for this job, the constance and the dedication in the studying and doing everyday more for the Medicine.

"Io mi vaccino!" (Literally "I get vaccine" )
This is one of the most spread slogans in Italy and around the world, since this virus and this pandemic gathered all of us in this sad time.
Together, we are making it, we'll leave everything at our backs because "everything will be fine!"

How did you feel about your first rotation? What ward were you in?

# data[].attributes.body
My first day of rotation isn't that far back in time. I still feel that eagerness to start. It was obviously a "good anxiety", but I was afraid that doing this first rotation I would have realised that I actually didn't like this so much. Instead, this confirmed all my doubts. The nurses tutors have been nice and ready to teach me, since the beginning, the children always put a smile on my face. Nowadays when I go to the hospital I am happy because I am convinced of what I want to do in my future.
Obviously I didn't know how to work in an hospital department, but slowly I got used to it, sometimes doing some mistakes.
My first internship day was in traumatology department, I really liked it.
There, there's never a boring moment and I love having always something to do.
I really hope my internship path will always go like this because I am very happy and proud of what I am doing.

A good nurse is someone who genuinely cares about the well-being of others, with a strong attitude towards continuously improving their skills and the ability to adapt to the needs of patients and situations. The essential skills for a nurse include:

Technical and clinical skills: A nurse must have solid knowledge of anatomy, pharmacology, emergency management, and patient care.

Empathy and communication: Being able to build trustful relationships with patients, listen to them, and reassure them.

Problem-solving and critical thinking: Being able to quickly assess a situation, make informed decisions, and adapt to changes.

Teamwork: Collaborating with other healthcare professionals to ensure quality care.

Resilience and stress management: Remaining calm under pressure.

Professional ethics: Being responsible, respecting patient privacy, and maintaining high professional standards.

I believe I am a good nurse because I enjoy helping those in need and offering support during difficult times.

My clinical tutor, Ilaria, was an incredibly patient and compassionate person. She had a calm and reassuring demeanor, which helped create a positive learning environment. Ilaria was always available and made sure to explain complex concepts in simple, understandable terms. What I admired most about her was her ability to listen attentively. Her professionalism and dedication to her patients were truly inspiring, and she taught me the importance of both technical skills and compassionate care in nursing practice.

In recent years, many hospitals have started allowing pet visits, especially dogs, to improve patients' well-being. Research shows that petting animals can reduce anxiety, lower blood pressure, and speed up the healing process. Patients are often happier to see their pets than people, as animals do not judge or worry about the patient's appearance.

A significant example is Lea Ann Matura, a nurse who recalls a lung cancer patient who, after a visit from her dog, showed signs of improvement, starting to speak and sit up. Other hospitals, such as the Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto and the Sutter Medical Center in Sacramento, have seen positive results, especially among children, as a pet visit helps bring some normality to their hospital experience.

Despite concerns about the potential transmission of diseases from animals, hospitals have not reported any cases of infections. However, it is important to have a clear policy and specific rules to ensure the safety and success of these programs

I would like to become a clinical tutor in the future because I am passionate about sharing knowledge and helping others grow in their nursing careers. Being a tutor would allow me to combine my clinical experience with teaching skills, guiding students through real-life situations and building their confidence. I enjoy seeing students develop their skills and critical thinking, contributing to the future of healthcare. Additionally, it would be rewarding to offer support and encouragement, just as I received from my own mentors. It would be a fulfilling way to give back to the nursing profession.

List five English language resources that are important for nurses.

# data[].attributes.body
Here are five important English language resources for nurses:

1. Medical Dictionaries (e.g., Merriam-Webster Medical Dictionary)

These provide definitions and explanations of medical terms, helping nurses understand complex vocabulary and communicate more effectively.

2. Clinical Guidelines (e.g., NICE Guidelines, UpToDate)

These resources provide evidence-based recommendations for patient care, helping nurses stay updated on best practices and clinical protocols.

3. Nursing Journals (e.g., American Journal of Nursing, Nursing Times)

Peer-reviewed journals offer valuable insights into the latest research, advancements, and evidence-based practices in nursing.

4. English for Specific Purposes (ESP) Textbooks

These resources focus on medical and nursing vocabulary and communication skills tailored to healthcare settings, improving language proficiency for non-native English speakers.

5. Patient Education Materials

These materials, often available in English, help nurses explain medical conditions, treatments, and procedures to patients in a clear and understandable way.

These resources are crucial for effective patient care, continuous professional development, and clear communication in healthcare settings.
