MANDATORY -- 2nd year -- What makes a good nurse? What skills are needed? Why do you think you will be a good nurse?

With the internship experiences I carried out in the first year I got some ideas on what makes a nurse a good nurse for me. I met and worked with many competent nurses, each with their own different working method, but the things they had in common were certainly great knowledge, professionalism, humanity and empathy. In my opinion, good nurses know what they are doing and know what their patient needs. In addition to treating patients from a clinical point of view, they take care of their mental state, providing support in the most critical moments, obviously always with professionalism without exceeding the right limit between patient and nurse.

I am sure that I will try to be one of these nurses, continuing to study and learn as much as possible, keeping in mind that the patient is first of all a person, with his own emotions that must be respected.

I chose this path precisely because it makes me feel good to help other people and I think it's a good start to becoming a good nurse.

Write (or record)  a 100 word description of one of your clinical tutors.  What kind of personality did your tutor have? What did you admire about this person?

In the internship of these months I feel very lucky because my tutor is very good and I admire her a lot.

She is very young, 36 years old, has a daughter and is very passionate about her profession.

She has a very strong personality, she is determined and confident but at the same time very empathetic and intuitive.

I admire her because in addition to having great knowledge, she pays a lot of attention both towards patients and towards us students. She has great attention spans and is always able to understand what the sick person needs, and is always ready to satisfy their needs. He is also always available to clarify any doubts or questions asked by us students and you can see that he cares a lot about teaching us the trade with a lot of patience.

He is a nurse who knows his abilities very well but at the same time always remains humble.

Since I was little I have always felt the need to do something "big" in my life and I have always found pleasure in helping others people.
In high school I took biological health chemist as my major because I really liked working in the laboratory. In this school I started studying subjects that I had never studied before, such as anatomy and hygiene, which however made me passionate about the human body and its health.
In the last two years of high school I started working as an entertainer where I became fond of all the children I spent my days with. It was precisely those children who influenced my decision and, although very insecure, after obtaining my diploma, I signed up for the nursing test at the Bambin Gesu hospital.

This morning in the cardiology department there were many things to do compared to the previous days and many children to be discharged.

Doctor Fiorito immediately got to work and, approaching nurse Beatrice, asked her: "good morning, how did Diego, the child in bed 2, spend the night?", the nurse replied: "good, he slept without any pain" and he left the patient's file with the doctor.

Subsequently the nurse prepared the therapies and milk to bring to the children.

At 10:00 in the morning Doctor Fiorito went to the nurse asking: "at what time did Diego eat and how much milk did he drink?", the nurse replied: "at 8:00, and he drank 150 ml of milk", at this point the doctor stated: "good!! he is ready to be discharged."

Then, after giving instructions to the parents, nurse Beatrice discharged Diego, who returned home in excellent health.

"MY mask protects YOU, and YOUR mask protects ME"

During Covid 19, personal protective equipment, in particular the mask, was essential.

Thanks to the different types of masks we can protect ourselves and above all others, which is why it was very important that EVERYONE used it.

Wearing a mask therefore shows that you bring great respect and concern for the well-being of other people.

Write (or record) an essay about why you would (or would not) like to be a clinical tutor in future.  (100 words)

I would very much like to become a clinical tutor in the future for several reasons.

First of all, in addition to the profession I have chosen, I have always liked teaching and passing on what I know to other people.

Furthermore, being a student now, I know how difficult one sometimes feels during the internship because perhaps one is shy, insecure and has many fears. Having a good tutor by your side is very important because it trains the student in many aspects, in addition to making the student a good nurse, it can help him with his fears and insecurities, accompanying him throughout the process.

his path.

I think that in the future I would be a good tutor because I would accompany my student in his internship, trying to teach him what I know with serenity and empathy, and trying to be not only a tutor for him but a friend and his future colleague.

Who did you work with? How did you feel at the end of your first shift?

On February 27th I started my first internship in the first department: cardiology.

I arrived on the first day with a bit of anxiety but luckily I was looked after by some very good nurses, including Manuela and Francesco in particular who followed me throughout the internship.

I remember very well the first baby I saw Ludovica, she was a few months old and very small, they asked me to hold her to carry out an exam and I remember that I was anxious even just touching her. Over the days the anxiety disappeared and the desire to do, see and know more and more increased.

It was also a strong emotion when I saw Sofia for the first time, a 5 year old girl with the heart of Berlin, an artificial heart, thanks to which she lives.

Every day I met new children, who, although with different situations, always conveyed the same innocence and sweetness, and this is why they will all remain in my memory forever.

In the 30 days of internship I learned many things, from the different procedures to the behavior to adopt with patients.

On the last day, in addition to the greater security, I already felt ready to start the new internship, learn new things and see all the children again.

Describe an encounter with a patient.

In particular, the first meeting upon admission is very important because, being the first contact, it can greatly affect the patient's feelings and opinions, which is why it must be very professional and also reassuring.

The first meeting with the patient takes place during hospitalization where we introduce ourselves and welcome the patient to carry out the first tests.

I have the patient sit in the room and to introduce myself I say: "good morning, I'm Beatrice, the nurse who will admit you."

We begin to collect the information we need to know about the patient, i.e. name, surname, age, weight, height, if he has allergies and if he takes medications.

Then the tests required by the department for hospitalization are carried out, in particular in "respiratory diseases", the electrocardiogram, the Covid swab, the oral swab and the rectal swab are carried out.

Finally, if the patient does not have one, a peripheral venous access is positioned and he is accompanied to his room, remaining available.

PETS COME TO VISIT

Patricia Stevens, a nurse, talks about when she was in hospital for the birth of her twins, she talks about how scared she was and how she wanted to see only her dog. When he saw his dog again he stated that he was better than any medicine.

In recent years, many hospitals have noticed that when patients receive visits from their animals they calm down and are reassured much more, and several studies have shown how animals reduce anxiety, stabilize

pressure and help make you feel better

sick person.

Lea Ann Matura, a nurse from Texas, remembers the time one of her patients, suffering from cancer, had a visit from her pet. Lea tells how that visit totally changed the patient, who went from not eating and always staying in bed, to being much happier, eating and leaving her room. Furthermore, children have a strong connection with their animal, which is why they too feel much better in hospital after meeting their animal.

Many people believe that animals could bring other diseases to patients, but several hospitals have reported that this has never happened.

Not all results are impressive but visits from your pet can make a difference. Patients are often much happier to see their dog than any other person, also because the dog will never care if you smell bad or are in bad condition, he will always be ready to show you his love for you.

I personally have a dog and a cat and when I feel physically or mentally ill, they are the ones who are most able to make me feel better.

The first TV series I saw was actually set in a hospital setting.

The series is called "Grey's Anatamy" and the protagonist Meredith Gray is the daughter of Ellis Grey, a world-famous doctor specializing in general surgery, which makes her feel the weight of her surname a lot. The girl manages to join the group of surgical interns at Seattle Grace Hospital, together with a group of other kids. So he moved to Seattle, to the old house that belonged to his mother. Here he finds himself sharing the new experience together with a group of young peers, all struggling with the most varied problems, sentimental and otherwise. The evening before starting the internship, Meredith meets Derek, a charming man with whom she spends the night, in a pub; the next day he discovers that he is actually Derek Shepherd, a neurosurgeon at Seattle Grace, as well as his supervisor. Meredith must thus juggle love, friendships and an ever-growing passion for surgery.
