at least 75 words I really like DR.HOUSE, an american tv show about Gregory House, an unconventional doctor but with great skills and experience, at the head of a "diagnostic medicine team" in the New Jersey. This tv show draws inspiration by Sherlock Holmes: during all the episodes, the protagonist, with his medical and deductive skills, he has to solve medical puzzles and save the Patient. Medical mysteries are inspired by New York Times heading, which is dedicated to clinical cases particularly problematic.

I chose to be nurse thanks to my family and my love for kids in general. I promised myslef to help them survive for the rest of my life; i love play with them, waste time with them an cuddle them. This is an hard path, but i'll go all the way despite effort. During the internship in the department you really understand nurses life, their moves, therapies and relationships. At the beginning i was very confused: here in the hospital, the small mistake can do the difference and you are dominated by the fear of making mistakes. But with time i learned so much things and now i'm quite sure about my skills. The members of my family are proud of me and my choice parents, sisters, uncles, grandparents......i won't disappoint them.

Hello Riccardo, I enjoyed reading your Padlet. I especially appreciated your dialogue! It is funny how a father and son end up in the same room at the same time at the same hospital. I think you have a good sense of humor:) which should be very useful in some serious hospital situations.
Have a good summer,

riccardociuffo14 — 2022-12-03 12:22:13 UTC

During my clinical journey as a student, i had many tutors. One of them Valerio, in Ortophedics field, reflects my person and my behaviours. Since the first day he always had faith in my skills and my goals. With him i feel comfortable and without pressure.
He makes me in the right conditions to prepair the therapy and administer it. Between us there is also a friendship and during our free time we talk about hobbies, music and other things. He always tells me to be relaxed, for first when he ask me some questions about the arguments. A clinical tutor must have this kind of personality; he has to be accurate, consistent with the goals and, for first, he has to be empathic and friendly with the student.

Be a clinical tutor is full of incentives, but in the same time he needs empathy and he has to transimit the pleasure to do such work. For me, as a student, my actual clinical tutors had always been kind and available even in the hard moments, but in the same time Demanding and strict. This is important for the student's grow.

Thanks to my dedication against the others, i hope to become a good clinical tutor for future aspirants nurses.

Many times, the importance of pet's proximity is underestimated. Based on a series of research, some nurses and patients consider pets "better than any medication". In this case, Patricia Stevens was so excited when she saw her dog after a lot of time.
In recent years more hospitals all around the world have found that pets visit can help to calm and motivate patient and also nurses. Petting them, can reduce anxiety, blood pressure and help the patients to heal faster.
In Houston, at the Methodist Hospital, Lea Ann Matura remembers the time when a pet visits hr owner, "a woman with Cancer"; she rarely ate food, she didn't spoke and got out of bed. Thanks to his pet, she became a different person and sat up from the bed.
Pets visit is very important for children too, because for Amy Medovoy, they have a great connession with them thanks to their sensibility; with this thing the everyday life into the hospital can be better.
Unfortunately a lot of people consider pets as a transmission vehicle of diseases, but hospitals report that they have had no cases of infections like this. Finally, is important to have a list of guidelines before the pet visit to avoid problems;
Pets, like the a brother or son, can allow the programme succesful and can help the patient with their Love.

This choice was not easy for me, but since the first days i didn't regret about it. A good nurse needs Humanity, patience, impartiality and, the most important thing, the Empathy with patiens and parents too. Can't miss clearly the dexterity with medical equipment, syringes etc, but the human variant is the most important for a god nurse.
Since the firt experiences into the hospital, i understood the delicacy and also the consequences that this profession can involve, but often i am a person who takes the others in first place: for me the other's health is important as much as mine, and for this reason i received some compliments for my sacrifices and dedication. Is not easy to meet the Pain of patients all days, but the nurse can help him with his skills and humanity, Other experiences waiting for me, but i'm ready to fight all the advesities of a delicate place like Bambino Gesù hospital with all my soul.
