On Monday, May 16 2016 At 1100 AM Patient Trennon Thompson was discharged from JMH. Escorted to the E.D. lobby by myself Officer Legg. Then I proceeded to go to the Heart Hospital to make my tour for the morning.
The job required more talking and interactions with others. Discharge patients by pushing them thourgh the door in a wheelchair. Delievering and returning unneeded supplies. Newspaper pass out gave me a oppurtinity to interact with the patients. One lady told me her story and I was suprised on what she had been thorugh.
Trashion POV I sat on the shelf. People walked by, but none of them wanted me. It was almost the end of the season. If no one chose me, I 'd be put on clearance. Finally, someone picked me up.
Day two clinicals. This day went so much smoother. I had the same two patient as the day before and one got discharged and I got a new patient. I feel like my second day I had an amazing relationship with my one patient. I got her to eat a little more that day because I knew what to talk to her about.
Defeating Hep C Having Hepatitis C was an enormous obstacle in my life. But, through the advancements in medical technology, emotional resilience, having spiritual faith with family support, I was able to get through the treatments and be cured of the disease. My daughter also struggled and overcame the disease. After being diagnosed with Hep C in 1997, I was in complete denial because I had no physical symptoms of the disease. In fact, I did not believe the physicians at that time.
One night, I woke up to my sister screaming; her body was drenched in sweat, and she repeatedly said, “I can’t move my legs”. I was young then and didn’t understand what she meant. I slowly lifted the covers off of her legs. They looked perfectly normal to me, so I asked her to wiggle her toes. Thirty seconds went by, and no movement occurred; she says, “I really can’t move my legs”.
I was pleased with how caring, resourceful, outspoken and helpful every individual was. One of the major reasons why I attended, “Dinner and Dialogue” was to get aware of what facilities were
The stories people told were truly amazing and seem like once in a lifetime experience. In my time in Portland I would hope to experience as much as possible ranging from intensive care to surgery or whatever may come through the door. Being interested in the medical field I would like to get as much exposure to it as possible. I have been exposed to the EMS section but have yet to experience the daily routine of a surgeon or nurse, and with experiencing something like that I may find that to be the specific field I would be interested in when I reach hiring
“If you think it would be wise to cancel, I don’t mind. You have done a great job looking after my safety.” Tank watched Yasir as a peaceful smile filled his face. The next day, two cars with darkened windows, pulled into the compound.
I believe that our patients have many basic rights that must always be provided, and must always be upheld. Our ethical duty as healthcare professionals ensure that we must give our patients these basic rights so we can provide the highest level of care possible. These basic rights include, privacy, respect, and also patients should be given the opportunity to give informed consent, among many other things. First and foremost, our patients must always be provided with a high level of privacy. Privacy allows our patients to feel comfortable coming to our healthcare facility and not have to worry about their confidential medical information getting released to anyone from the outside.
I was highly impressed by the overall teamwork in the emergency department. It has a sense of organized chaos that would have taken me some time to adjust to. My nurse and I ended up going through a large group of patient during the time I was there. The nurse has this uniformity to how she would get her tasks done. The thing that through me off was the amount of stuff got done with our patients by other people.
Ocean acidification is the decrease in the pH of the ocean water supply. Ocean acidification has been affecting the earth’s water supply because of an increase in carbon dioxide being absorbed into the water along with other pollution and trash. The acidification has gotten so severe, that some of the marine life that lives in the ocean is dying out because they can’t adapt or they are poisoned by the carbon dioxide. This can lead to marine life extinction and food shortages for humans as well as them becoming sick by eating contaminated seafood. Scientists over the years have been researching as much as they can about ocean acidification and what it’s effects have done, and will lead to in the future.
When I arrived, I received a badge to be able to get through the building since it’s a locked unit, which means that you must have badge access to be able to get into the operating rooms or any areas that aren’t patient rooms. When I walked in the nurses were doing their daily huddle. That when they talk about how many surgeries they will have that day, and if they are missing any nurses or doctors. I got to meet all the nurses from both the post and pre-operative side. I had previously worked with a few of the nurses before at
Now I have less anxiety over the assessments. Our Instructor also helped me by guiding me over the patient assessment. My previous experience with my
As I reflect on my medication pass, I not only realize the lessons I learned, but also the things I will take with me with me for a lifetime. This was quite the experience of learning and lessons to become a registered nurse, so as I began my day, I began by looking up my patient’s medication. I would be passing in the MAR – on the computer. This is where I proceeded to check for allergies (medicine and relevant food), this should be done every time you give a medication. The instructor said ok are you ready?
