Good morning! first let introduce myself. My name is Anna and i'm 19 years old. I'm attending the first year of the undergraduate degree in pediatric nursing. I have taken this path because i think that helping others is the best thing that i coud do, especially if they are children.
There has not been a precise moment in which i decided to be a nurse because i have always liked the hospital environment.
I was definitely influenced by my grandparents because my grandfather was a doctor and my grandmother was a nurse. They often told me some episodes and the satisfactions they felt at work.
In the future i would like to be able to do my best in my work and above all to always smile at those who meet my eyes.

1) A midwife takes care of the pregnant woman and delivers babies.
2) A charge nurse has many responsabilities and guides the other nurses in their work.
3) It's the contact with the patients that's most rewarding.

Unit 2 ( weelchair-ward-stretcher)
4) The first weelchair was made of wood, and it was very simply, now it is much more technological and can be used to do more things.
5) I have to go to the pediatrics ward because my son is not very well.
6)The patient has to go to surgery so we're carrying him on the stretcher.

Unit 3 ( cubicle- limb-life-threatening)
7) The doctor will examine you as soon as the cubicle is free.
8) If your limb hurts, try not to move it as it could increase yhe pain.
9) When a patient with a life-threatening come to hospital we must do everything possible to save him.

Unit 4 (wound-scissors-scalpel)
10) The patient has a deep wound on his back, i have to disinfect it.
11) In our work it is useful to always have a pair of scissors in our pockets.
12) Luckily the nurses don't have to use the scalpel in their work because it scares me.

Unit 5 ( throbbing-migraine.mild)
13) A throbbing pain comes and goes rhythmically, it's very annoying.
14) If you keep beating your head you could get a migraine !
15) Luckily he has a mild pain that can be tolerated very well.

I think I will have to watch at least an episode of "New Amsterdam" since I liked your summary.

Best,
Carol]]> 2021-05-06 13:11:29 UTC https://padlet.com/a_bergamelli2001/5xsposzr709m28rs/wish/1497956547 a_bergamelli2001 https://padlet.com/a_bergamelli2001/5xsposzr709m28rs/wish/1936091923 I think that to become a good nurse you need three main prerogatives : commitment, sacrifice and good character.
Commitment is necessary to carry out all the faculties well and obtain good results.
Sacrifice because it is a type of work that includes night shifts and work even during holidays and weekend.
Finally a good character is necessary because it is a job that requires altruism, empathy and listening to others.
I don’t think but i hope to become a good nurse because at the moment i’m still studying and i can’t see myself in a few years but just imagine myself]]> 2021-12-08 15:12:06 UTC https://padlet.com/a_bergamelli2001/5xsposzr709m28rs/wish/1936091923 a_bergamelli2001 https://padlet.com/a_bergamelli2001/5xsposzr709m28rs/wish/1936135601 The return of Thalidomide
Thalidomide is a drug that was used since the late 50s to combat nausea during pregnancy until 1961 when the doctor William McBride noticed a sudden increase of babies being born without one or more limbs and were discovered its catastrophic effects.
The drug had been believed safe because it was tested on animals without any ill-effects but following this discovery it was withdrawn from use.
This drug was partially reintroduced after Dr Jacob Sheskin used it in 1964 as a sedative to rielieve the suffering of a patient with leprosy and the patient healed.
Thalidomide has powerful antinfiammatory properties to treat arthritis, AIDS, multiple sclerosis and many autoimmune disorders but it is a drug that needs to be studied better in its mechanism of action before repeating the same mistake

I currently see my tutor as a point of reference and i would like to be the same for my future students.
I would like to be able to help nursing students by taking the good tutors of now as an example and improving some aspects of them. As a tutor i will try to always involve the student in patient’s management.]]> 2021-12-08 15:45:08 UTC https://padlet.com/a_bergamelli2001/5xsposzr709m28rs/wish/1936175480 a_bergamelli2001 https://padlet.com/a_bergamelli2001/5xsposzr709m28rs/wish/1936197112 My current clinical tutor is a nurse in the neurosurgery ward. She has a lot of experience and she is very prepared.
She is really good at relating with children and their parents because she is very sweet, reassuring and helpful.
She takes care of the patient in all its facets.
She brings joy to the department also in the way she presents herself; in fact she has pink hair.
She is also very good at combining the work of nurse and tutor.
I admire her both as a person and as a professional figure, so I see in my tutor the professional figure I aspire to became.]]> 2021-12-08 15:54:01 UTC https://padlet.com/a_bergamelli2001/5xsposzr709m28rs/wish/1936197112 a_bergamelli2001 https://padlet.com/a_bergamelli2001/5xsposzr709m28rs/wish/1936217149 Wake up happy 🤩

Hello Anna,

Again this academic year, I have enjoyed reading your Padlet.  

I especially appreciated your task about being a good nurse.  The information was good as well as your writing style.  I liked the way you presented the information in 3 areas.  Brava!

Happy Holidays!

In my near future i would like to work in a pediatric oncology or intensive care unit  where i can learn both humanly and in practise.
I would like to continue my nursing studies.
In my distant future i would like to be specialized in a certain area of healthcare but who knows what the future holds for me!]]> 2023-04-06 16:24:52 UTC https://padlet.com/a_bergamelli2001/5xsposzr709m28rs/wish/2546440362 a_bergamelli2001 https://padlet.com/a_bergamelli2001/5xsposzr709m28rs/wish/2546448891 During these three years i have had the good fortune to meet many tutors and one of these, in particular, has remained in my heart. Her name is Angela and she works as a pediatric nurse in the oncology and hematology department.
She was and still is a point of reference for me. She is a great professional and above all a person with a heart of gold.
During my internship she was always by my side and always believed in me; i think this was crucial for me because i tend to be insecure when i have to do new procedures  on a pediatric patient for the first time.
She taught me so much and made me grow professionally.
I will always be grateful to her and maybe one day i will work with her as a colleague!]]> 2023-04-06 16:34:20 UTC https://padlet.com/a_bergamelli2001/5xsposzr709m28rs/wish/2546448891 a_bergamelli2001 https://padlet.com/a_bergamelli2001/5xsposzr709m28rs/wish/2546456490 2023-04-06 16:42:03 UTC https://padlet.com/a_bergamelli2001/5xsposzr709m28rs/wish/2546456490 a_bergamelli2001 https://padlet.com/a_bergamelli2001/5xsposzr709m28rs/wish/2546463039 The recording i listened to shows a dialogue between nurse and patient during a blood test.
It is the first time that the patient has undergone a blood test to evaluate his state of health and the nurse reassures him.
As the nurse thought the patient is anemic but luckily the red cells are normal in size and shape; so the nurse reassures him by saying that it is not a serious situation and it is possible to intervene with same supplements.
The other cells are normal compared to the patient's conditions.]]> 2023-04-06 16:50:12 UTC https://padlet.com/a_bergamelli2001/5xsposzr709m28rs/wish/2546463039 https://padlet.com/a_bergamelli2001/5xsposzr709m28rs/wish/2571676938 How wonderful that you had a particularly good experience with your clinical tutor, Angela.  She shared her knowledge with you but also gave you confidence in yourself!
