Fnp Reflection

Decent Essays
Since my first clinical day I have had the opportunity to reflect on my practice as a FNP and what differentiates my medical practice from a psychiatric practice. I set out to explore the differences in practice and I have observed the vagueness that exists between the physical and the mental wellbeing of clients. With that said the more I conduct interviews with clients the more comfortable I am becoming. I am beginning to find my comfort zone and what works for me when conducting the interview. I feel I am becoming less robotic and more engage with clients. It can be daunting trying to remember each step of the interview but with each interview it gets a

    My first State FFA Convention was the 90th Annual one, complete with lazer shows, a random limo, and getting to eat in Bricktown.

On top of that, I learned about a few careers, and got to listen to some amazing speakers. All of the speakers had great messages. The first one about living in the moment, the last about tomatos, and how to live a better life.…

    However, I strongly believe that, similar to live, verbal encounters, intake forms can also be arranged in a manner that would eventually elicit openness after rapport is established. After asking about the patient’s/client’s demographic information, the intake form immediately jumps to inquiries about the patient’s/client’s mental health (self-report of presenting problem, current symptoms being experienced, and a suicidal risk assessment). As a consumer, this conveys that the form has a specific task at hand and its goal is to help me paint a picture of what I need help with and the reason/s why I am in the office. Following this set of questions, the intake form poses questions about the patient’s/client’s current medical situation and past medical and psychiatric history. Such objective inquiries, I believe, help consumers feel comfortable in reporting what physically and mentally ails them.…

    Through my involvement at the UCSD Student-Run Free Clinic and at FSA Community Program I learned to work in a team and to always share the same goal as my teammates. This common goal is to give the best and most accurate service to the patient at the clinic, the same goal was shared during my time at FSA. These teamwork experiences have also taught me to provide, accept and use feedback from the members of my group, and to always adapt, improve and develop new skills. Through these three activities, I was able to reinforce my reliability and resilience. By volunteering at a hospital and clinic, I was able to meet different types of patients with very different backgrounds and cultures, which allowed me to reinforce my cultural competence,…
