    She believes that creating a bond with her patients is one of the most important factors in the healing process. As someone who is pursuing a career in healthcare, I can appreciate where Alore is coming from. Hearing first-hand accounts about how a doctor or therapist makes a breakthrough with their patients once they connect with them on a personal level goes to show that this outlook is effective. The ICU nurse also believes in doing “what you want to do” (Isay 141). One needs to have passion for their work, no matter how insignificant or enormous the job may be.…

    Since researching this topic, my nursing practice has changed in the way that I interview, assess, and treat my clients. Throughout my education in nursing school I was always taught a more holistic approach, however I was never truly conducting my assessments and interviews with clients within this matter. I am always respectable and caring towards clients, but in my past practices within clinical, my focus was primarily on the disease process and preventing the disease from worsening. Within this semester I have improved my practice, with the help of this research, to not only treat the disease process, but to use the same focus as CAM and treat the person as a whole. I found this to also help in establishing better client-caregiver relationships.…

    The first day I observed at Clay High School, I knew that the learning environment would be hostile. The day happened to be the end of the third quarter and reports were being sent home. This meant that my clinical teacher felt the need to have students review their grades. He printed out everyone’s gradebook records, and had the students check and review their term grades. What I didn’t expect was for him to randomly call on students and share their grades.…
