My core beliefs and values of nursing are integrity and life-long learning.  From a very young age, I was hospitalized for a rare illness; kawasaki disease. Since then, I have been hospitalized at least five more times and each time, the nursing staff has been so caring and has provided me with compassion. Since I have experienced this from such a young age, I have taken it to heart that this is a life-long journey. I have realized to pick right back up when I have been beaten down. I aspire to create a caring environment as the nurses before me have. ]]> 2019-04-30 07:51:29 UTC https://padlet.com/teanao/51w2n5ox26xn/wish/355328449 teanao https://padlet.com/teanao/51w2n5ox26xn/wish/355328502 My goal is to work in an inpatient facility as a registered nurse and provide advocacy for my patients. Medical surgical and pediatrics are the specialities I am interested in because it is where I can best relate with my past experiences.]]> 2019-04-30 07:51:42 UTC https://padlet.com/teanao/51w2n5ox26xn/wish/355328502 teanao https://padlet.com/teanao/51w2n5ox26xn/wish/355329985 Nurs 220-Queen's Medical Center

In NURS 220 I practiced the ethical principle of beneficence as described in the weekly reflection paper. This experience taught me a valuable lesson to always do your five rights of medication administration. As happy as I am that this did not happen to me, it will always be an issue that I will not forget.


An ethical issue that was brought up during my clinical rotation, was one of a classmates. The client was to be discharged that day and when the blood pressure was checked it was lower than normal. It was then noted that a blood pressure was given outside of the perimeter provided. The patient was also severely dehydrated; had not urinated and did not drink much water all day. With this being said, many members of the staff seemed to only care about the fact that the client was to stay longer, taking up a bed, rather than the actual care of the patient. It was very disheartening for me because it really made me think of how uncaring that scenario was. It was sad to see that the patient was not priority in this situation and that the staff had other concerns. I think that it is important to follow legal responsibilities but also have an ethical mind about everything. One thing I can do is learn from all that happened this week. The med error incident to the ethical questioning of the staff to the bed bugs, this week has really taught me to speak up and have good communication. With good communication, I feel that responsible behavior will follow. I can continue my professional growth outside of the clinical setting by allowing myself to have good ethical practice with others. Behaviors that were seen this week were not my favorite, but I will be able to learn from it and continue on with my professional growth.

Here is one reflection that I wrote while in NURS 320 Pediatrics about how completing the course helped me build my foundation and encourages me to continue my nursing career. This experience will stick with me throughout my nursing career, as it was one of the hardest rotations I completed but one of the most rewarding. ]]> 2019-04-30 08:13:03 UTC https://padlet.com/teanao/51w2n5ox26xn/wish/355332632 teanao https://padlet.com/teanao/51w2n5ox26xn/wish/355332716 Implement evidence-based practice by locating and evaluating the best available evidence in making clinical decisions; and engage in on-going professional growth and self-directed learning in the practice of professional nursing.

In NURS 360 PMH, I demonstrated understanding of medication and behavioral interventions by searching the literature and presenting using a search engine to obtain an EBP article related to patient care. This article helped me understand the importance of initiating behavioral interventions for ADHD adolescents as it can help dramatically in the long run. ]]> 2019-04-30 08:13:30 UTC https://padlet.com/teanao/51w2n5ox26xn/wish/355332716 teanao https://padlet.com/teanao/51w2n5ox26xn/wish/355332836 Employ leadership skills in implementing and/or delegating the delivery of safe nursing care to clients and client systems.

In NURS 220 I was able to delegate a task to classmates in the high fidelity simulation, serving as a team leader and participated in primary nursing care. This allowed me to take charge and delegate any procedures/tasks that needed to get done in a safe environment. ]]> 2019-04-30 08:14:03 UTC https://padlet.com/teanao/51w2n5ox26xn/wish/355332836 teanao https://padlet.com/teanao/51w2n5ox26xn/wish/355332882 Collaborate with the multidisciplinary to advocate for clients, client systems, and groups in meeting their health care needs.

I had the opportunity to work with multiple nurses and be a part of grand rounds at Kapiolani Medical Center for Women and Children in NURS 320 Pediatrics. Here is my reflection about that collaborative experience which I believe helps in a setting where stress and tensions may become high. With the help and integration of other team members, a patient can overcome and feel comfortable in a hospital setting. ]]> 2019-04-30 08:14:20 UTC https://padlet.com/teanao/51w2n5ox26xn/wish/355332882 teanao https://padlet.com/teanao/51w2n5ox26xn/wish/355333881 Contribute to the improvement of the health care system through the involvement of interdisciplinary activities and choose from a variety of tools in accessing, interpreting, and providing cost-effecting nursing care.

In NURS 360 PMH, I was able to identify available health care resources within the community for patients with psychiatric mental health problems as demonstrated here. In the mental health setting, resources become very valuable because it can determine their outlook on life outside of a facility. ]]> 2019-04-30 08:19:29 UTC https://padlet.com/teanao/51w2n5ox26xn/wish/355333881 teanao https://padlet.com/teanao/51w2n5ox26xn/wish/355334628 Develop therapeutic relationships based on mutuality, respect, cultural sensitivity, caring, and the belief and value systems with the client, client systems, and community.
 
In NURS 320, I have developed a nursing care plan for a patient who had impaired renal function. This care plan consists of all aspects for the patient. ]]> 2019-04-30 08:22:45 UTC https://padlet.com/teanao/51w2n5ox26xn/wish/355334628 teanao https://padlet.com/teanao/51w2n5ox26xn/wish/355335249 Communicate professionally, clearly, and therapeutically in all interactions.
