    Three hundred sixty five days after November 19th, 2000, a fully grown, peaceful, knowledgeable women, who I love to call my mother, laid out multiple objects on the cold, clean marble floor for me to choose from. The objects laid out on the thick and hard flooring include: a used notebook, a dead battery, a calculator, a stethoscope and a wooden twelve-inch ruler. Out of these objects, I, still just an infant, picked up the stethoscope without realizing. Although my memories of this event are practically non-existent, I remember my caring mother telling me the story of my first birthday and providing pictures of me picking up the stethoscope. Strangely enough, fourteen to fifteen years later, I research careers and colleges which I could possibly…

    Every little detail matters to anesthesiologists; from their patient’s body weight, current medications, any known allergies, pain tolerance, to the completing of a spinal injection. An anesthesiologist is given a barrage of important information each day; so, paying attention and writing down major issues is just part of what they have to do (Novak). The anesthesiologist is in charge of monitoring their patients before, after, and during surgical operations (Greenwood). Many problems can occur during surgery, so it is important to focus on all of the details. An anesthesiologist is not allowed to have a lazy or bad day; one mistake could lead to their patient’s distress or death.…

    In the Post-Anesthesia care unit (PACU), where I currently practice, nurses and other clinical support staff are confined to work in specific areas. At times, when unforeseen challenges rise, the environment becomes chaotic, disorganized, which due to the stress that this creates, results in conflict among the staff and poor patient care outcomes, such as poor quality of attention and little patient satisfaction. Within the healthcare, in any settings is crucial the use of multidisciplinary teams, working in collaboration to improve clinical outcomes and to improve staff satisfaction. Multiple articles have focused their attention on the significance of staff cross-training and teamwork. For this project, I would like to find evidence, which…
