Clinical Rotation And Simulation

Improved Essays
I really enjoyed reading your post. I like your case studies, scenarios and concept mapping similar to my clinical rotation and simulation lab (SIM lab). SIM lab will be beneficial to the students because it creates confidence and preparedness for emergency situations that promotes critical thinking skills. Nurse educators who extend Bandura's framework for simulation relate increases in self-efficacy to simulation features. This including hands-on practice, immediate feedback, peer modeling, and repeated practice in a psychologically safe environment (Franklin & Lee, 2014). Since my undergraduate clinical rotation are pediatric patients with tracheostomy and mechanical ventilators, SIM lab training is important for students to experience suctioning,

    The study described the Situation section as “What is going on with the patient”, the Background section as “What are the clinical facts surrounding the problem”, the Assessment section as “What do I think the problem is”, and the Recommendation section as “What should be done to correct the problem” (article). Before the study was conducted there was a literature review done that showed in another study that after using the SBAR technique, sentinel events were reduced from 89.9 per 1,000 patient days to 39.96 per 1,000 patient days per year in a certain healthcare facility. Other studies had similar results that were consistently positive after implementing the SBAR technique. Overall, the study using senior nursing students found that when students are given information about the SBAR technique through a lecture format as well as able to use the information in a role-play exercise, they are more capable of performing the skill effectively rather than if they are only given information in a lecture. The findings support what we had learned in class as well as what was found in the information from Rochester General Hospital.…

    My clinical experience so far has been quite interesting, because I learned basic clinical procedures and preventions that I know will benefit me as a nurse in the near future. During lab, we discussed infection control, personal hygiene, and isolation precautions. These procedures impact my personal health and wellness, because I need to ensure that I am using the proper techniques in order to keep me safe. Also, I know that it is important to make sure my patients are not at risk of developing hospital associated infections.…

    You never know how much you want something until it's almost taken away from you. During my CA-1 year I was involved in an incident where there was a mishandling of narcotics. My residency was on the line, and even after I was cleared of all wrongdoing, I still felt like I had something to prove. I had to show this program and myself that I belonged. Unfortunately, I've been in this situation before, as the underdog, time and time again.…

    According to National League for Nursing, “Simulation provides a rich learning opportunity for students to integrate theory with practice while making real-time clinical decisions in an environment that poses no risk to patients.” just as this study was conducted to aid nurses’ knowledge and self-confident to identify deteriorating patients on step-down cardiac unit. I agree with Chelsea that both questions were addressed in the article, The effect of unit-based simulation on nurses’ identification of deteriorating patient. The simulation education showed positive results for both knowledge and self-confident with significant increase where knowledge scored from 72.73 to 81.82 and self-confident scored from 4.40 to 4.59.

    I was not sure what to expect on the first day of mental health clinical rotation. My nursing friend told me that she liked the rotation, so that made me feel a little better about my first encounter with this area of the medical field. After spending, most of the morning getting acquainted with my new clinical instructor, we proceeded into the common area, which was separated by the nurse’s station and a set of double doors. The patients were on the other side watching a documentary of people explaining their experiences and treatments that helped with depression, anxiety, and a couple of other mental health disorders. As we walked in, a few of the patients looked over at the doorway to my clinical group, we stood there as my clinical instructor…

    One method of providing students the opportunity to try out a career is through participation in simulation exercises that require them to perform the day-to-day functions of a particular career. Simulation laboratory experiences may allow participants to identify how they feel about a career by allowing them to apply knowledge gained from lectures into simulated scenarios based on real-world situations they may experience on the job. It is well recognized that although faculty continue to rely on lecture as the primary method for presenting clinical information to nursing students (Brannan, White & Bezanson, 2008), experiential learning enhances student assimilation, synthesis (Dewey, 1963; Kolb, 1984), and the application of clinical concepts…

    Progressive Mobility in the ICU and Patient Outcomes The traditional standard of care for critically ill patients has long included the premise that patients need to rest and remain immobile (Schweikert et al., 2011). In contrast to this notion, evidence-based practice has shown that when healthcare workers utilize early and progressive mobility of these patients, patient outcomes improve. The length of hospital stay, development of ICU acquired weakness, inflammation biomarkers, and other neuro-muscular effects are all positively effected by interrupting periods of sedation and mobilizing the patient (Winkelman et al., 2015). This is an incredibly drastic shift in mentality and more critical care units are educating and adopting a progressive…

    For my first clinical rotation at Elderwood of Lake Placid for the spring semester, it was a good one. At Elderwood, we started the day at seven am with our morning debridement of where we’d be that day and the patient we would be advocating and aiding for. I had patients DM and PH. For the patient DM, I administered medication and because DM is one of the residents who does not need as much assistance, I spent most of the day getting to know the resident,which was a real treat because you can tell that many of the nurses and cna don’t really have enough time of the day to speak to each resident. I felt that being able to sit and talk to this patient the patient really benefited from the interaction.…
