Recommended: Patient clinician communication

In the medical field, there are many people whom play an important role, such as administrative staff, doctors, nurses, physician assistants, surgeons and technicians. Without all of these essential people, medical care would not be efficient as it is today. Nurses are an essential part of the medical team. There are not enough nurses to take care of the population. Some individuals become nurses to have job security and think it is an easy career. I think nursing should be a calling. Nurses work long hours, handle all the paperwork and are constantly on their feet. Nurses are required to have specific qualities like empathy and compassion, excellent communication and organizational skills. Professional nurses are the advocates for the patients. …show more content…

With the of nurses in demand, the educational requirements have increased as well. I think it is important to have a personal experience in the medical field as well as hands on experience with the nursing stimulation mannequins and peers. A good foundation of anatomy and physiology, microbiology, and pathophysiology will help me excel in the upper level classes. As the curriculum increases in difficulty, nurses are required to differentiate between the patient’s signs and symptoms. It is important know that not all patients are the same. Many patients respond to medications differently. Going to the hospital was always a new adventure. When I was in elementary school, I had a streptococcal infection that eventually spread into a bone infection. During the week-long stay, I was able to observe the way the doctors and nurses interact with me as the patient and my family. I noticed how the nurses took care of all the day to day medical issues, checked blood pressure and administered medication as well as communicated all of the information given to the doctors. I also took note of how the doctors were only in the room to diagnose for at most five minutes. This experience made me want to become a nurse in the medical field instead of a doctor. Many experiences like this one has helped shape me into who I am

Nursing, and everything that it entails, cannot be easily described in just one simple word or phrase. It goes beyond the meaning of a profession and the stereotypical definition of treating the ill. Nursing is the “protection, promotion, and optimization of health and abilities, prevention of illness and injury, alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human response, and advocacy in the care of individuals, families, communities, and populations” (American Nurses Association, 2010, p. 1). Therefore, it is a career that requires dedication, passion, critical thinking, and knowledge. It demands commitment and an understanding of its core values and concepts, as well as the nurse’s own personal philosophy and principles.

I am currently preparing for ministry in several ways, which include: School, co-founding and leading a women’s online devotional, planning a Christian women’s retreat, and being of service within other ministries. In addition, I spend time sitting before God and studying his word to ensure that I am doing what’s in alignment with his will. Recently, I decided to go back to school for biblical and theological studies and obtain a bachelor’s degree in this field. I did not always have a great interest in school during my younger years because there was not a subject I was passionate about or solely focused on. I could not make sense out of spending so much time in school, only to finish and not do anything with the degree I earned.

Having my Spanish degree and teaching certificate I plan to find a position teaching Spanish at the middle school level. In one of my early textbooks, I remember there being a section where they explained that there is a harmony between cultural and language at the time I was not able to connect the two.

Investing my time in the care of my patient gives the opportunity to not only assist them in a difficult situation, but also to learn more about their diagnosis and the treatment, while comparing it to what we have learned in class. For example, I had a patient that suffered from Sickle Cell Disease and came to the ER during a crisis. Correlating this case to the books and the content learned in class, these patients receive at least 1000 mL of fluids, pain medication, and oxygen. Additionally, I had a patient with meningitis. This individual presented with common symptoms such as nuchal rigidity, muscle pain, fever, and chills.

The best part about my clinical day was just being around kids. Even though the adult clinical rotation was a great learning experience, I was excited to go to the Children’s Hospital. I enjoyed watching little kids walk up and down the halls as happy as can be. That was especially interesting for me to see because I had never been in a children’s hospital before. When I think about any hospital in general, I think about sick people.
