During my practical training experience, I had the opportunity to meet and get to know many clinical tutors. From all of them, I would like to describe my experience with Franca, a nurse in the surgical department. During my practical training I had the possibility to know her better and to realise that she embodies the kind of nurse I would like to become in the future. She is a very attentive, precise, scrupulous nurse, and she is able to establish a cooperative relationship with the rest of the medical and nursing equipment.
On my experience with her I learnt a lot, moreover, having never been in the operating theatre she allowed me to establish my bases in this context. Over the months she learnt to trust me and my abilities, in fact, towards the end of my practical training she gave me consent to dress sterilely and be able to instrument my first surgical procedure! It was a very unique emotion and I thank her very so much for that.

When I think about my future, I imagine it identical to my present. I imagine myself finally working at the Bambino Gesu, the hospital where I grew up professionally and personally. My dream is to work in the 'Red Area' ward, the intensive care unit where mainly the red codes from the emergency room are admitted.
If I have to imagine my career, I see it full of training, to become a more prepared nurse, ready for every emergency and for the management of complex patients. In addition to the technical part I think I will also have a more empathic part, which has also characterised me during my practical training.
I dont know if I will be able to realise my dream, but I am sure that I will continue to study and fight to achieve it.

In the future, I would like to become a clinical tutor because I think that the nursing profession should be passed on from person to person. Furthermore, tutors are a very important resource for students because they support them during their practical training and help them not only to understand how to carry out procedures during practice but also to clarify any possible doubts.
I believe I have the aptitudes to become a clinical tutor and I think I would like to do it very much because I would also like to pass on what my tutors have passed on to me in turn.

Hello Francesca,
Again this academic year, I have enjoyed reading your Padlet.  I liked reading about Raffaella and all of her qualities.  It is great that you see her as a role model!
Happy Holidays!

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

# data[].attributes.body
I think that a good nurse is about caring for their patients. A nurse has to be able to understand from a single glance whether his patient is in pain, whether he is getting worse or better, and this can only be achieved if an important relationship is created. A nurse must be precise, must have critical thinking and must be able to act in any emergency situation. I believe that all these qualities can also be learned and practiced over time, certainly a nurse will not be a good nurse from the beginning, but practice can definitely create good adjustments.

I believe that in the future I will be able to become a good nurse because in my practical training periods I am already trying to create a good relationship with my patients, I try to be precise, and I ask a lot of questions. Above all I am trying to steal as much as I can from my nurses with my eyes in order to catch everything that could improve my knowledge and help me to become a good nurse.

In the future, I hope to become a clinical tutor as I would really like to be able to pass on all that I am learning and will learn during my training and studying period, but also throughout my working period.

In addition, I would also like to be able to pass on all my passion and I would like to become a fundamental point in the training of my students, just as my tutors have been and are currently for me. I believe that the figure of the clinical tutor is fundamental for the training of nurses because he/she is the person who is able to clarify all the doubts and guide the students in their formative path.

ANAESTHESIA

The text focuses on the subject of anaesthesia, a branch of medicine that is fundamental for the execution of surgical operations. In fact, in the first part of the text the meaning of this word is analysed, which is " a lost of physical sensations"; in fact, when a patient is under anaesthesia he is not able to perceive pain.

However, anaesthesia was invented in the 19th century and it was not like today's anaesthesia, because surgeons had to operate very quickly and very often patients died on the operating table. Furthermore, we can see that throughout history there has been a succession of different substances to produce the anaesthetic effect, such as ether, then chloroform and later intravenous agents.

Later in the text the different forms of anaesthesia are described: we have local anaesthesia which numbs small areas of our body; regional anaesthesia which is used for operations on larger or deeper parts of the body; and finally general anaesthesia where the patient is unconscious and feels nothing.

The last part of the text talks about the monitoring systems which make anaesthesia much safer than in the past, in fact the cases of death caused by anaesthesia are very few, amounting to 1 in 250,000.

If I think of the best clinical tutor I have ever had, I would definitely talk about Raffaella, a nurse in the "Transplant Surgery and Hepatology department". I believe that Raffaella perfectly embodies the figure and personality of a nurse that I would like to achieve one day.

This nurse is very empathetic with her patients, she tries to spend as much time as possible with each of them to get to know their stories and in this way to be able to create a relationship of reciprocal trust which is essential in the care process.

In addition, she is very precise in her work, and she also transfers this precision to me, she is very attentive to how I relate to patients, how I carry out procedures and every day she tries to give me some new advice so that I can improve more and more. In fact, a very special relationship of mutual trust has been created between us.

Last but not least, she is a cheerful person, and this is very important in the atmosphere of the ward because it makes the patients forget, even for a second, the pain they feel and the absence from their families.

PATCH ADAMS
Hunter "Patch" Adams’ story begins with his suicide attempt, which comes at the end of a dramatic period in his life.
After this event, he goes to a psychiatric hospital where he hopes to find help. There he begins to experiment with humour as a remedy for the ills that afflict him and his new friends in the structure.
After leaving the clinic, he decided to return to medical school and set his aim on helping others.
In order to help people in need, Patch theorises a new way of thinking about the concept of the patient.
Together with his university friends, he decides to open his own free clinic in a cottage, and it is here that he applies his method of treatment based on the beneficial effects of smiling.
Unfortunately, a mentally disturbed patient kills Carin, who he was in love with, and this throws Patch into depression, causing him to destroy everything he had created. However, Patch manages to come back to reality and continue on his way, finding his dream that he had put aside in his moment of pain.
But, Patch is forced to come to grips with the validity of his project and the strict Medical Commission. In front of a jury of experts, Hunter is called upon to prove that the new concept of the patient and the theses he is working on and dedicating his entire life can change the world of medicine forever. After his speech, the commission is fascinated by the method used by Patch and fully engages him in what is his dream come true.

This is one of my favourite movies because I really like the relationship that Patch is able to establish with his patients. Moreover, the speech he made at the end of the movie was very emotional because it summed up what it means to cure and take care of patients and how to relate to them.

I really enjoyed reading your Padlet, Francesa.  Reading why you want to be a nurse was very touching and it made me smile.   The Covid message was very original. Nice!

I realised I want to become a nurse when I was 17 years old. I was attending high school when I started doing voluntary work in a group home for children who have no parents. At that time, I was playing with the children every day and I was helping them with their daily activities. It was thanks to them that I realised that I wanted to help and be useful in the working environment too.

That's how I decided I want to become a nurse. I want to become a nurse because I want to help people in their time of need, to be a shoulder to cry on or to be the cause of a smile in a sad moment.

I want to be a nurse because I love scientific subjects and because I am extremely fascinated by the human body, a machine that is so perfect and so balanced.

I want to be a nurse because I like to put myself out there and take on all the challenges that come my way and I know that this is the right profession for me.

My family has always supported me in my choice, but they have never influenced me, I believe that nothing and nobody has influenced me in my decision, I believe it was a choice that I matured over time and with awareness.

We are in the waiting room of the emergency department. The triage nurse welcomes the patients. A mother comes running with a four-year-old girl in her arms.
TRIAGE NURSE: Good morning, what happened to your daughter? Tell me what it' s about.
THE MOTHER: We were on a mountain trip and the little girl was playing with her brother when she fell and complained of shooting pain in her arm.
TRIAGE NURSE: Don't worry, we're going to put a temporary bandage now and the doctor will see her in a few minutes. You can stay in the waiting room for now.
THE GIRL: My arm hurts! It feels like my heart has moved there because of how much it's beating!
After about 15 minutes the child and her mother are called into the visiting room and the doctor prescribes an X-ray test to exclude the arm fracture. After the X-ray test, they are called back to the doctor to receive the results.
DOCTOR: Your daughter has suffered a fracture in the distal part of her ulna. They will call you to the plaster room to place a cast. She will have to wear it for 20 days, then you will have to come back here to the hospital to remove it. Before you leave, please see the hospital receptionist who will book an appointment for you to remove the cast.
DOCTOR: Don't worry baby, they're going to put a little magic cast on you , and the great thing is that you can draw all the pictures you want on it! Then you can go back to running like before with your brother!
THE GIRL: Wow a magic cast! I'm going to show it to all my friends at school!
