Rady Children's Hospital: A Case Study

Improved Essays
I am pursing working with a pediatric population in a diverse urban setting. Rady Children’s Hospital came to my attention because of its reputation as a high quality hospital solely dedicated to pediatric care. My nursing care will be an asset to whatever hospital I choose to serve at. The main reason I would be honored to join Rady Children’s team is that I will be on a team that doesn’t focus on a just the in the moment health needs. Even with acute patients everybody is promoting the restoration and sustainment of children’s overall wellness in order to optimize their developmental and potential. You seem like you will support my concept of serving patients instead of the mindset of simply working for you. Please do not let my servant …show more content…
Advocacy is a bold but critical concept that should be the core of every hospital. My calling to be an advocate for children from urban and diverse backgrounds. This is my goal in life because I need to be able to pass along what nurses from my childhood imparted to me: hope and strength. I have countless number of patients who I have advocated in big ways as well as small but just as meaningful ways. However, wanting to do more is why I am pursing Rady’s now. I am eager to be in a children’s hospital again where I have many diverse needs that need advocating for in addition to other needs being met. Also, I already looked into organizations in the southern California area that if I am able to move to the Escondido area for this position at Palomar Pomerado location, that I will start volunteering with their advocacy and outreach …show more content…
Research is critical to make sure nursing actions are always the best practice. I have conducted informational and experimental research in several departments at Seattle Pacific University. My appreciation of research will help me know I am providing evidence based care that will best help my patients. Next year, alongside working, I hope to next year finish a second bachelors in Human Health in Performance. The only requirement I have left is to finish completing a research project relating to health care. This aspiration demonstrates that my commitment to education and research didn’t end when I earned my bachelors in nursing. Being employed by you will likely help the credibility of my research project but it will also be beneficial for you to be able to say what your employees are involved

    Your healthcare organization, Harris Memorial Hospital, needs to look at both “hard” and “soft” savings when considering a system’s return on investment. Today’s presentation we will take a deeper look at the soft returns when implementing an electronic health record (EHR) system. It is important to remember that indirect savings are usually applied to processes not easily measured and, thus, quantifying savings can be difficult to see at first. We will look at the three steps in documenting soft returns: (1) identifying a process improvement opportunity, which is improved time/efficiency; (2) create a formula to calculate the benefits; (3) and determine the costs of the process and the net benefits. In order to determine the return benefits from EHR implementation, it is necessary to establish baseline metrics that can be used as a guideline for measuring success after the implementation.…

    I will be the type of provider that takes care of my patient’s physical and social needs by recognizing their social and psychology needs and make the appropriate referrals. Additionally, in order to further contribute to the mission of the program I want to advocate for future healthcare providers to practice in impoverished communities. Studies have shown that a majority of health care professionals currently in school may not have been exposed to community health or have had negative experiences. Through volunteer programs I want to educate future health providers about underserved populations that will hopefully result in future providers choosing to work in an underserved area during their career. The purpose of this program to support the mission to improve health and achieve health equity through access to quality services, a skilled health workforce, and innovative programs.…

    When caring for patients safeguarding is one of many issues nurses need to be aware of, hence I have remained an active volunteer with the NSPCC Schools Service for 2 years. I partake in workshops and assemblies for children to help them identify abuse and ways to access help. Although focused on children, I believe the principles can be applied to all individuals within nursing. This combined with my HCA job has taught me the importance of communicating with patients and advocating for them; without communication we cannot understand the full health of patients. I can offer the 6C’s of nursing and more, without being hindered by the variety of shifts or emotional stressors.…

    It is this passion and commitment to providing high-quality health care within the community that fuels my aspiration and desire to become a pediatric nurse practitioner (PNP) within a community health setting.

In this role, I look forward to truly getting to know the patient as a whole, as well as working on a closer level with both them and their families to implement primary prevention strategies aimed to keep children out of hospitals whenever possible. I have learned throughout the clinical rotations I experienced and even more so through my current job in a clinic, that educating patients and their…
