Personal Narrative: My Carrer Relationship In Nursing

MY CAREER MENTORSHIP IN NURSING From my experience at Akron Children’s Hospital, I learned that I should be thankful for being healthy and not having to spend almost everyday of my life laying in a hospital bed. I also learned that the doctors and nurses have to do way more things that don't relate to medicine at all, such as comfort care. I learned how to make notes into the computer on each patient. After every medication you give the patient you have to take note of it, the time, how much, and what for. You also have to tell the patient what you're doing at all times, you can not just walk in and start giving them medications not matter if they are young or not. My experience was very enjoyable because i had a very young, cool nurse to show me around and show me things. Her name was Audri and she had only been a nurse for three years so she is fresh out of nursing school. She was a float nurse which meant she didn't have a specific area in the hospital where she absolutely had to stay. She could go anywhere that she was needed. It was nice that she was a float nurse because that meant I didn't have to stay on one floor. I got to go to the baby's floor, seizure floor and just a recovery floor. It was verry enjoyable being able to see all of the patients and …show more content…

It is very sad seeing sick children everyday you go to work but I know that the end results of seeing someone get healthy because you got to help them is a very huge award. If God has given me such a helpful and caring heart, I just would really love to use it. Going to Akron Children’s Hospital was such a great and amazing experience and hopefully one day I will be working there! Not everyone can handle children nor sickness and I think it’s incredible that i can. I am definitely going to keep exploring this career because it is such an amazing feel helping someone else feel

Many children, sadly, are faced with disease and illness every day. Research has shown that with the addition of a Child Life Program to a hospital setting, children in need of care have better outcomes and their hospital experience improves exponentially. My cousin and his family benefitted from the Child Life Program at Penn State Hershey Medical Center Children’s Hospital. My interview with my aunt and cousin demonstrates that Child Life Specialists definitely can make a difference when a family encounters a child’s illness. The support and care of the Child Life Specialists assist not only the child and the parents, but the entire family.

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.

Through both learning experiences, the clients were sedated, therefore minimizing the interactions that I was able to have with them. In saying this, the main reason that I went into the nursing profession was because I love working with individuals and their families and improving their day-to-day lives. I found that in both of these areas you don’t necessarily get to do that in the same context as you would on some of the other units. This was a positive and eye opening experience for me, as it reinforced my “why” in coming into the nursing program and also allowed me insight into areas that might be more of interest to

I was assigned a number of different roles that allowed me to meet and observe a wonderful variety of people with colourful personalities but who all faced health problems associated with the elderly. I was surprised at the level of frustration I felt when I could not offer help to a particular person, but instead had to standby whilst a member of staff tended to them. This frustration inspired me to pursue a career in medicine where I could be capable of helping people in need. I also undertook work experience with a child carer; this was so vastly different to working in a care home and I had to adapt to a fast paced, energising new environment. This illustrated to me the limitless opportunities available when studying medicine and the different paths I could follow.

Growing up I have gained confidence and a delight in caring for others. This has come naturally to me as I am growing up surrounded by influential health care professionals, many of whom are nurses. Watching them in action and seeing the pride they gained through helping others and overcoming new challenges sparked my interest in pursuing nursing from a young age. My current course has broadened my knowledge by teaching me key factors that must be looked at in order to treat and provide care for people efficiently including myself, factors which include priorities of patients, different medical/surgical conditions, risks involved, precautions to take and understanding of the legislations and policies specific to a nurse's role. One of my subjects

Volunteering at the hospital has allowed me to recognize that I am able to give hope to patients. I am only able to do this because of my own experience with suffering and I am able to relate to them. Although I can already do these things, I’m still lacking, and believe I can do so much more. I aspire to be a physician because I would like the responsibility and the opportunity to give those less fortunate the opportunity to live happier and healthier lives. It gives me the comfort of knowing that I will one day walk with people through their journey of whatever may afflict them: pain, weakness, sorry, or cancer.

The perioperative experience involves the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative phase. I had the opportunity to closely observe the health care staff during the last two phases of the perioperative process. This experience allowed be to gain a better understanding of the role of nurses throughout these different phases. It was apparent that their day to day duties are different than registered nurses in other areas of the hospital. During the perioperative experience, I was able to observe the role of the registered nurses, the role of other staff members, the progression of the nursing diagnosis, and patient teaching.
