Recommended: Examples of strengths adn weaknss of nurses

On completing the VIA Strengths Assessment Survey one of my top three strengths was forgiveness. This means forgiving those who have done wrong, accepting others’ shortcomings, giving people a second chance and not being vengeful (VIA Institute on Character 2018).
This core value was challenged by another nurse who in a snappy tone asked me to leave my patient and help to transfer her patient who was not at risk. My patient was impulsive and a high falls risk. I explained the situation and I would help her when my patient was safe. The nurse then berated me in front of my patient stated I was smirking and stormed off.

I would need to manage my emotions and the information sensitively to tackle a potential personality clash and deal with their grievances. By acting quickly, I would not give the impression that there is no problem, this will help to stop the problem becoming more entrenched or complicated. This will take self-belief, courage and good communication skills on my part. I believe that I learnt from this experience that the art of reflection and self-care is an important aspect for nurses to improve not only their clinical skills but personal skills as well and reflection does not come easy to

The duality of judgement and forgiveness, the latter often seen as virtuous, yet impossible without the less-admired former, is present in the blood of many diverse religions from a variety of cultures and time periods, with none perhaps exemplifying it as well as what remains the world’s largest religion by number of followers, Christianity. The religion, built upon a group of holy books known as The New Testament, acts as a forgiving addition to prior Jewish holy books by offering exoneration for Earthly sins for those who embrace the teachings of Christianity’s central prophet, Jesus. Rudolfo Anaya heavily explores these themes of judgement and forgiveness within Catholic Christianity in his seminal work, Bless Me, Ultima, through the struggles

Forgive, not because they deserve forgives, but because you deserve peace. It’s not easy to stop blaming someone’s fault, especially for someone who do wrong to us. In the book The Sunflower written by Simon Wiesenthal, a survivor of the Holocaust during World War II, he described his conflict with Karl, a dying Nazi soldier who killed many innocent Jews and begging for forgiveness for his outrageous crime at the end of his life. At the end of this sad and tragic episode, Simon did not response to Karl’s request directly; instead he left us a tough question: “What should you have done?” Based on what Karl had done during World War II and his repentance, each person might have their own point of view about where should we draw the line of forgiveness.

In Exploring Forgiveness, Robert Enright and Joanna North frame forgiveness as ‘wiping away the negative consequences of the offenders injustice and as a merciful reaching out to the offender’. The wording of this particular conception, makes forgiveness seem as though it is an act that the scorned must commit in order to save the persecutor from the consequences of the injustice that they committed. The victim, thus, becomes responsible for the act of liberating both themselves and the persecutor from the negative action. For forgiveness to have a beneficial effect on the two parties, it needs to be done in an environment where the victim does not feel any pressure to forgive. Rebecca Saunders provides reason to believe that while many transitional

Nurses are typically a target in these situations because they are consistently in contact with the patient throughout their shift. When nurses interact with patients, their actions and reactions to certain circumstances can, most of the time, determine the next interaction with the patient. The behavior of the nurse and the patient are essential at this step, as negativity from one person can cause negative behavior as a response from the next person. Nurses cannot control the actions and behaviors of others; however, they can

I would have more patience and try to get to the root of the problem instead of dismissing it. I would try not to get frustrated so easily and have the empathy to care for this patient. Empathy is essential for person-centred care and nurses must have empathy in order to understand the situation from the patient’s perspective (Girffiths et al, 2012). If I responded with more empathy and less frustration I think the patient in turn would be less frustrated and although the problem may not be resolved, anxiety will be reduced and a trusting relationship will develop.

The Gibbs’s reflective cycle comprises of six stages, which are description, feeling, evaluation, analysis of the incident, conclusion and an action plan. I used these stages as a guidance tool during the process of reflective essay about my critical incident (Parsons and White 2008).
