Today is the being of my third clinical experience here at Avalon Care Center. The past two clinical days have very exciting and I have felt my confidants grow after each experience, going into each new clinical stronger than the previous one. After hearing some interesting feedback from my fellow classmates after our group discussion, I have been looking forward for today. Today clinical assignment was in the Rehabilitation unit also referred to as the “Hallway of Hope”, where patients are admitted from the hospital until there’re strong enough to return home setting or will be transferred to the Long Term Care unit. Today, I had the pleasure of working alongside of Rose, due to the fewer amount of residents compared with the other halls,

In my opinion this visit was eventful. I was given the opportunity to perform massage, PROM stretching in all planes, along with resistance on a lady’s right arm which she had rotator cuff surgery performed in January. I also begun my case study on a woman that I plan to work with and hopefully progress over the next six weeks of my

The transition from eighth grade to ninth grade is one of the most difficult but unforgettable things a student must do in his adolescence. For me, it was filled with new opportunities of taking Ap classes and joining clubs. One of these cubs was Youth and Government (Y&G). For as long as I can remember my brother, Riad, has boasted about how amazing Y&G is and how it has changed his life. My brother is three years older then me, so as a freshman he was a senior in Y&G.

Dancing Through the Pages Reading has never been a hobby of mine. Yeah, I would read the required books for school or may pick up a random book occasionally, but I have never been a bookworm. Some books I read in class were, personally, not stimulating. There was one, however, that stood out to me and grabbed my attention from the very first page, not knowing that this book, later on, would leave an impact on my fascination of a previous decade and dance career.

Tuesday, March 29th, 2016: Montana State Hospital The day began with a care conference by an interdisciplinary team (psychologists, social worker, nurses, and psych techs). Every patient on the wing was discussed about their current situation, behavioral problems, or change in care plan. The nursing process seemed to be utilized when dealing with these problems. The problem was assessed by the entire team, the root cause was determined, a plan was established to implement, and then would be evaluated the next day.

The video "Patient Perspectives" brought to me memories of when I was a patient. When I was in the hospital for a little over a month, I received great care from nurses, but especially from Dr.Monserrat. Like the testimony on the video, "I will never forget her". I was greatly inspired by my experience. Now that I am on the opposite role, it makes me realize the trust the patients give us, and the responsibility that I have as a student nurse and as a future nurse.

Description: In week 7 we had visited Wesburn Manor, the Long-term Care (Clinical Placement) setting. It was our first time there, therefore as a group, we oriented the place. At this time, we went to each nursing station on each floor and introduced ourselves from the organization we were from and how we will be providing patient care to the clients in this setting. We were educated by our clinical instructor on the different access codes in the building, the policies and guidelines, our assigned floor and the appointed personal support worker. Our role of professionalism as a nursing student was represented as we came prepared and greeted each healthcare and staff member.

I used to be so oblivious. I would attend school every day and criticize my surroundings, little did I know how much I actually had. Come junior year, I observed a flyer for a club called S.A.L.T. (Student-Athlete Leadership Team), it seemed interesting to me so I decided to fill out an application. During our first meeting at 6:45 in the morning, Coach Jones, the head of the club, explained, “I did not cut anyone since you will cut yourself, you will give up and you will not want to put the work in, so you will stop coming.

I have had tough hope once, I had to move to a different state and start to get used to the new place. Moving was hard and took a long time to move everything to our new house. My new house was hard to get used to because it was different and I wasn 't used to it which made it hard to sleep and I had to leave my friends behind and I would have to find new friends. Making new friends was hard because I would be alone until I found new friends and I would have no one to talk to so I would be very quiet. Usually I would always be talking to a friend and I am only social with friends.

Through extensive communication with the residents over the past few months, I have continuously improved my way of interaction. Since many of the residents were audibly and visually impaired, communication was difficult in the beginning. However I soon got to know the different conditions of the residents. I also learned and began to find different ways that made it easier to talk with individual people. For example, one of the residents: Clara, had quite a difficult time hearing and also it was sometimes difficult to understand her voice.

Sometimes, we would have people come to our home for treatments as well. Our home had become a place of healing for the broken, both literally and metaphorically. Our home had being set apart from many others. I learnt the importance of love, care, and support.

My roots of optimism can come from many different things and many different places. These things don’t have to be good to give me optimism. One thing that gives me optimism is when I had a stress fracture and bruised a bone in my foot last year. That might seem like something that would make me have less optimism, but that’s not true at all. It shows me that I can get over things even if they seem impossible or hard.

Additionally, this experience helped me to develop effective therapeutic communication techniques and enforce skills to provide enhanced care for the resident. An improvement that I would make for next semester is to improve my execution and time management while performing tasks. I intend to perform skills with greater confidence and improve my overall interactions with the patients, families, and health care workers. Improving these interactions will benefit in the overall comfort of the patient and improve the care that I will provide to them. Overall, this Long Term Care experience provided me with the necessary fundamental skills practice and critical thinking development that will be utilized in the following semesters and throughout my nursing

I was able to create better therapeutic communication skills, pick up on the patient’s ticks, learn how to assess for triggers, etc. I will use this in the future because I will come in contact with patients who suffer from a mental illness on any floor I work on. They may not as serious as some of the patients I worked with on this clinical rotation, however, it is still important, as a nurse, to recognize and address mental health issues with patients. I also learned just how important self-care for nurses is. It doesn’t take long for nurses to begin to feel burnt out and lose passion in what they do.
