The first day of anything is always going to be hard, that’s just the hard truth. In the short narrative “First Day” by Robert E. Murphy, the struggles of a first day are shown through the eyes of a medical student. Murphy used amplification, pacing, and tone to explore the struggles of a medical student first day at the clinic. Murphy uses amplification in order to show how over enthusiastic the student is to start their first day at the medical clinic. Amplification is when sentences are enriched with excess information in order to increase the worth of the sentence.
Monday October 26th: Today at Moses Cone hospital, I was in the role of student nurse. I had two patients; one a returning patient, and the other a new patient. The nurse I was working with is someone I have never worked with before or even seen on the floor, but she seemed to be familiar with the unit. It was about 3-5-45 minutes into the shift before we received hand off report. After about 8 minutes of waiting to get report on the rest of her patients, my nurse went ahead and started to see patients.
This reflection is sought about through the use of reflective cycles, for example Gibbs (1988). Reflection enables the student to develop his or her own theories behind why an event occurred, this is also achieved by linking theory to practice in order to gain a deeper understanding (Levett C. 2010, Stonehouse D. 2011). For this practice placement portfolio the reflective cycle that I have chosen is The Reflective Cycle by Gibbs (See appendix one) (Gibbs 1988). Although it wasn’t made predominantly for reflection through nursing scenarios, as it was developed for educational purposes, it does give the student a cycle which can be used easily to analyse their event in a linear fashion. Although Gibbs reflective cycle is one which is mainly focused on the event itself, rather than the knowledge that can be sought from delving further into the reasoning behind an event, it does create a cycle which allows the individual to focus on their actions and the reasoning behind what they did.
I do not think that the status of a fetus has anything to do with a woman's right to have an abortion. A fetus cannot be considered a separate person as it cannot exist outside the womb. Therefore, in my opinion I think it is the choice of a woman and no one else to dictate whether or not she can have an abortion. The rights of a bunch of developing cells, are not worth more than the rights of an actual living breathing person. Even if a fetus was alive, it does not imply the right to use somebody's else body.
I was inspired to consider a career in cardiovascular physiology partly because my mother is a nurse and also because I enjoyed studying triple Science at school. I enjoyed the practical work undertaken as part of my GCSEs in the laboratory. I also have an interest in the Natural World and regularly watch documentaries on this subject. My enthusiasm for biology has led me to study Applied Science, including Forensic and Medical Sciences, at Chelmsford College, since 2014.
With reflection it is important that the individual is honest, which needs to be reflected in written record keeping, this enables others to easily understand what has occurred (Williams et al, 2012). Reflective practice is mainly used to assist nurses and healthcare professionals to gain an
This week is another mixed feeling again. First of all, I am started to feel my summer vacation is coming this week. We have 2 more weeks left before our summer vacation start. Therefore, even though we have tons of reading to be done for the final next week, but I just can’t seems to pick up my pace on the study. I feel like this past year has passed by so fast, but at the same time, due to constant stress from the exams throughout the year, I can’t wait to start my summer break.
ENG-122 Reflective Essay My writing process has changed tremendously over the course of this class. I feel more accomplished, confident and I feel sometimes that my ideas and thoughts just come in to my mind out of nowhere and I start writing about anything now. I pay attention to my punctuation and grammar more as I have polished them more now, not only when I write but then others write as well. I am constantly looking for errors and I highly think this is helping me a lot in my career.
Writing a reflective essay Appointed with the overwhelming task of writing my first ever reflective essay, I sat motionless, as still as a statue, as my weary fingers hesitantly hovered over the inanimate buttons of my precious keyboard. How would I commence? How would I conclude? Thoughts maniacally rampaged their way through my mind as I envisioned the long tedious journey ahead of me.
Writing has always been an issue but yet interesting subject of mine. As hard as I try and write essays, and papers I just can’t get the hang of writing. But after taking this class, I did learn different writing technique and improved my writing proficiency, material body of formatting, and how to uncovering and properly use sources. Through class exams, essays, and a research paper, I was able to learn new writing skills. Although I have learned a variety of things, my writing still needs improvement.
I was given the privilege to shadow Kerry Pullman, RN on the Med Surge/Telemetry unit at Liberty Hospital. Kerry has been an RN for two years after four years as a certified nurse aid and 3 years as a licensed nurse. Kerry has been working on the med surge/ telemetry unit for almost a year after working in long term care, primary care, urgent care, orthopedics and surgery. When asked Kerry stated the hardest part of being a new nurse was “old nurses” she said that often the old nurses will “eat their young”. We started the day by getting report on Kerry’s patients from the previous shift then going over the patients charts to make sure we had all the information we needed for her patients to provide the best care possible.
Academic success to me is achieving good grades and understanding the material to get good grades. Academic success also means to have an good attendance. I already get mostly A’s and B’s, but I am not good at staying on top of things. To improve my academic success I will attend class more often, be more organized, pay attention in class, and not procrastinate.
Introduction I’ve been waiting since I’ve declared to be a nursing major to attend my very first clinical and finally last Saturday on October 17th I attended my first clinical at the Ludlowe Center for Health & Rehabilitation. It felt just like the first day of school! I woke up at 6 am and I felt anxious, sacred, and nervous, but also beyond excited to see what’s ahead of me for the morning. The clinical lasted from 7 am to 1pm, which at first seemed like a really long time but the excitement carried me away and it felt a lot shorter. The early morning was filled with activities that resembled what I have learned in my foundations class.
Introduction In this reflective essay I will reflect upon the course based on the assignments and projects I have accomplished this semester. Recent research (Kornblith, 2012:3) identifies that reflection is an active process and making sense of the experience through the understanding of one’s actions. As suggested by (Roberts, 2011:63) she states that the understanding of reflection have been used to develop an action stage, which can further help to improve my skills and knowledge towards my course. This is vital as it ensures that i get the most out of my learning experience and i could use them to their maximum benefit.
I never thought of myself as a great writer. I would always see my classmates have higher grades than me in my honors English classes, and it made me feel insecure about myself. Because of this mentality that I would not be as good as my peers, I never wanted others to look at my writing because I was afraid of judgment although I knew that it would help me. Eventually, I started progressing as a writer, and I knew that using tips and getting help was how I could improve myself.
