Red Shirt Experience Analysis

For the senior/sophomore experience I had many different roles. I helped the students get logged into the computer at Regional Hospital and also helped them get into Meditech. Since it was the first clinical for the sophomore group, many passwords didn’t work. Therefore, I had the chance to show a few students where the IT department was and help them get assistance on getting their passwords figured out. The students were very limited as to what they could do during the clinical. They had not been checked off on vital signs or any part of physical assessments yet. Therefore, I assisted students and their patients with the proper way to ambulate and get non-independent patients on the commode or to the bathroom. Overall, I felt that my biggest

These experiences have allowed me to become much more culturally aware of the different aspects of the Native American culture. Each experience was very different, however, there was certain similarities among each of them.

I think I displayed integrity to the students as I was honest when they asked me questions or advice on certain skills or questions about nursing school. The senior sophomore experience also allowed me to practice autonomy, as I was able to walk around between the 5th, 9th, and 10th floors to supervise the students and see how they were doing. I also think that I promoted social justice by treating every patient the same regardless of background. Another outcome was to demonstrate competency in critical thinking, clinical reasoning, and clinical judgment. I believe this learning outcome was crucial in the senior sophomore experience as well since it was most of the 1st semester students’ first time ever caring for a patient. When assisting the students with ambulating some of their patients, I used critical thinking and clinical judgment to determine if we had all of the
