         <description><![CDATA[<div>Since I was a child, my passion has always been to help people. I wasn't sure if nursing was my future profession until a triggering event happened in my life and that moment made me realize how much I want to do this job despite people telling me I'm too empathic and I won't make it . I don't care what they say and I will try every day to prove them wrong by thinking of this as a motivation to keep helping people every day</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>We are in the hospital, in the cardiology department where a patient has to go down to the operating room to do the heart transplant. We enter the patient's room where the parents and the doctors are present who will explain to the parents the procedure that will be done and how long it will take. The doctors first of all identify the patient "hello we are about to go down to the room, is the patient called Paolo Belli born on 4 September 2007?" and he, having the right to speak, replies by saying "yes, it's me" and the doctors turn to him saying "well, we're about to go downstairs, how are you feeling?". Paul replies by saying that he feels good and that he is incredulous that this day has come. The nurses begin by carrying out the pre-operative procedure as per the regulations before descending. Together with the nurse who is in charge of the patient we go down to the operating room where the surgeons are waiting to start the operation. Once we get down the surgeon jokes a bit to defuse the situation and before taking him to the room he correctly identifies the patient and checks that he has the identification bracelet "Hello, are you Paolo Belli born on 4 September 2007?" and Paolo replies saying that it is him and the surgeon to put him at ease and to reassure him says "don't worry, you won't feel anything because you will be sedated, the operation will last a couple of hours but as soon as it is finished you will have a heart all your own healthy and it will be a unique emotion". Paolo calms down and already thinks after the surgery of how many things he can do that he hasn't done up to now and they enter the room to start the surgery. The nurse goes back up to the ward reassuring the parents that they will wait in the waiting room for the end of the surgery to see their son again</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The first day in cardiology was a unique emotion. Knowing that from that day on you would have learned to take care of people, to stand by them and to help them feel a little better fills your heart with joy. Seeing those children who smile at you and knowing that you bring a little joy to their room is as if they are the ones who give you strength. A hug from that child seeing him get better thanks to you is worth a thousand words and this is the beauty of doing this profession</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>In my opinion, a good nurse is one who is always available to help others in times of difficulty and puts her all into her work. She is the one who, even if it is a difficult moment for herself, manages not to let the patients see it in order to help them first and not give them more suffering</p><p><br/></p><p>Among the necessary skills are those of offering assistance to patients, helping them and being with them in times of need, to administer the right therapy according to medical prescription and to carry out all the necessary checks</p><p><br/></p><p>I hope to be and become a good nurse, to help others and listen to them in moments of difficulty and when they need it most. I know that I will be a good nurse because since I was little I have always wanted to help others and I will give my all to this job because it is what I want to do not only to administer therapies and carry out tests, but above all to provide excellent assistance and stay close to those who feel alone in a context that is not optimal for them and in which they cannot be themselves</p>]]></description>

She got excited when her dog ran up to her outside the hospital entrance and said this was better than any medication. In recent years we have seen how animals can reassure, calm and motivate patients. Lea Ann Matura, a nurse, remembers when a dog visited one of her cancer patients: she didn't speak or get up, but after seeing her dog she was happy and talked; she was like she was a different person. Many hospitals think that visiting animals is not a good idea, but Lea Ann Matura commented that it is important to have a list of rules before bringing an animal into the hospital and that it will take time, but she is sure that this program will be a success</p><p><br/></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>The encounter with a patient that stayed with me the most was in cardiology. Myself, my tutor and two doctors entered the patient's room and the doctors told the parent that there was nothing left to do for his son and that he would be transferred to palliative care where they would look after him 24 hours a day. At that moment I felt the father's pain as he listened to what they said to him, but the thing that amazed me most was that the father tried to be strong so as not to attract attention even if he could feel what he was feeling. After leaving the room, a doctor told me that I was right to stay with them and hear what they had to say because it will happen other times in my working life and that this should help me not to get too attached to the patients because you never know. how the situation will evolve. Then I turned to my tutor and asked her to explain the patient's situation and what had happened to get to that moment. During the day while we went to the patient to administer the therapy or to evaluate the general situation, I noticed that the father hid his emotions and even when I entered the room he smiled at me and asked me to help him</p>]]></description>

Write 75- 100 words</p><p><br/></p><p>Honestly, I'm still a little perplexed about where I would like to go to work because I have some ideas, but I still have to think carefully. The first idea is to specialize in instrument nurse or even anesthesia nurse and go to work, if possible, in a cardiac surgery operating room. The second idea would be to become a military nurse or in any case a nurse in the police force, but the process is a little more difficult since I first have to enter through a competition and go through the whole process to become a soldier or policewoman . I hope that mine will be a good career, obviously made up of ups and downs like all the others, but more ups than downs. I hope to be able to become what I aspire to and to never loses my strength of spirit and that every day I have more motivation to continue. I also hope to become a good nurse and to help as many people as possible and to be able to make them feel better</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p> Write 150 words about your experience with one of your clinical tutors.</p><p><br/></p><p>Among the different tutors I had in the various departments where I did my internship, I would like to talk about the tutor I had in UTIC, Claudio. As soon as you start your internship, it is usually difficult to settle into a new department, especially for the first few days, but with Claudio and the other nurses on shift it was much easier. At the beginning they didn't trust me that much because they didn't know me well yet, but as the days went by I started to have more and more independence until they entrusted me with the patients. I got to the point of managing 2/3 patients per shift and, before the end of the internship, I had become autonomous. Claudio was an exceptional tutor, not only because he helped me to be more indipendent, but also because he taught me and showed me many things and I could never thank him enough. From the first day, he put me at ease and he didn't just give me practical advice but he also tried to stimulate my curiosity day by day. Claudio was a point of reference for me, and he did not only transmit technical knowledge to me, but also values ​​such as respect, collaboration and passion for one's work</p>]]></description>
