Examples Of Nursing Observation Terkisha

499 Words2 Pages

During My Observation, I had the opportunity to observe Terkisha, a Registered Nurse, who was a kind person who gave me lots of information. Not only about nursing but about the Hospital in general. Before heading to the observation, I had a clear knowledge of what a Nurse does in a hospital setting. During my High school years, I had the opportunity to observe many nurses in different departments. Nursing was never a choice I had thoroughly thought about to become my career in the future. However, when I had the chance to work as a Certified Nurse Assistant, that was my definition or the image I had with a nurse. Nursing seems like a nice job, especially when being able to talk with the patients one on one and having more time than a physician to know the patient. The Host, Takisha, was an RN who graduated from Michigan State University. I loved the way she greeted each of her patients with a smile …show more content…

Nurses only work up to 4 patients, this made me happy because of the time they have for each of their patients. Another thing that surprised me was, even when Takisha had 3 patients, she was always walking around bring things to the patients or having to chart the vital signs. Something in which I didn’t know was before the nurses go into the patient's room, they all meet in one room and the nurse in charge begins with a brief explanation on what is happening to the patients on that floor. I had the wrong idea of nurses only needing to look online to know all the details of the patient. I don’t believe Nursing is a right choice for me to pursue in, I feel as if I may like working there in the beginning, However, at the end I will somehow get tired of it and want to try something new. Also, I talked with one of my advisors in High School about the Medicine side, I was explaining the varieties I have to choose a career, with the choices I have Nursing isn’t one of

I really believe that being in preceptor’s role makes all the difference in new nurses’ life and it can also be very rewarding. By precepting we can be role models in our nursing professional. “It seems natural and obvious that all nurses, given their education, would share similar values and beliefs about patient care” (Porter-O’Grady & Malloch, 2016, p211). Preparing students and new nurses to transition from being new to the field and help them to achieve competency and proficiency is still remain concern in our hospital or work area.
