It’s been 2 weeks since the evening shift started and I honestly enjoy working later in the day. I can observe how residents spend their time and understand more about my assigned residents’ routine in the afternoon and evening.
I definitely felt like I made a lot of improvements in providing a safe care for my assigned residents and cooperating with my teammates and since the start of my clinical practice. I think I am less confused when providing care for the residents because I understand more about their routines.

At the same time, I was glad to learn and finally perform one of the many tasks that nurses must do. While I was administering a medication to one of my assigned residents, I left her medication with her without my supervision for a second. Now that I thought about what I did, it was something I knew and instructors emphasized that leaving a medication unintended with a client could compromise his or her safety if something worse were to happen. Fortunately, I was able to take away the medications that I left right away before the resident ingested them without my supervision and I guess that was what a near miss situation was like. I read those situations where healthcare professionals had an unplanned event that could almost result in an injury or an illness on textbooks but it felt very scary to realize that I was in that satiation. Not only I was scared, but also I felt a significant responsibility for my unsafe behaviour and I would never want make such mistakes

In the classroom I help those who need it if I have a complete understanding of the topic. If I don’t I will ask the teacher for help. When working in group projects I will usually take the lead and assign everyone a part to work on. Every so often I will check in to see that they are in fact getting their jobs done. My character and how people perceive me is another important topic to me.

Professional Presence and Influence Being able to promote a positive healing experience for patients is a significant responsibility for nurses. What heals one patient, may not work for another patient. Being equipped to identify what part is vital for each patient’s healing is not an easy task.

Teams are groups of people who come together to reach a desired goal. In my life, I am part of many teams like in soccer, school, and my family. From these teams I have formed my belief about the importance of working with others.

While good team chemistry is essential to a successful team, I know this doesn’t happen immediately. Having worked in multiple club boards at school, I’ve learned how to make environments more easygoing and a space for people to become more than colleagues. I’m not afraid to embarrass myself or make mistakes if it means making it feel okay for others to mess up too. While focusing on the tasks at hand, I also love to joke around and get to know the people around me because getting to know each other is the ultimate reward of working together. Besides my team player attributes, I am always open to learning new things.
