My Preceptor Entrieship

Improved Essays
On Monday, April 25, I woke up with a positive attitude toward another day of preceptorship. As I was driving to the unit, I was thinking how fortunate I was of having the opportunity of do my preceptorship on the emergency department. This Monday, my preceptor was Melissa who happens to be an amazing RN with more than 20 years of experience in Emergency department. Although she is not my preceptor, she has been willing to teach me when my preceptor is off or sick. Having the opportunity to learn from two different preceptors has been enriching for the development of my career: I can absorb the best of their unique work organization skills. As usual on this unit, when I don’t have patients to care for, I can learn from the respiratory therapist,

    Since my second semester at UT, I have devoted 15 hours a week to volunteering as a Young Life leader. Every week I help run a club meeting for dozens of high school kids, manage a planning meeting with my teammates, and lead a small group for sophomore girls. I spend hours at St. Stephen’s Episcopal School watching games and performances, and simply getting to know these young adults. Through investing this time to build relationships as a mentor and role model, I strove to show these girls that they are significant, noticed and valued. Volunteering as a Young Life leader has taught me invaluable lessons in building relationships, caring for others, and working with a team that will help me to be a more supportive and productive physician…

    Clinical Context & Experience I completed my final two shifts on 11/24 and 12/1 at Sharp. The unit had a pretty large census both nights, so we were fairly busy both nights. During this shift I had to notify the doctor twice and felt the most relevant journal topic was advocacy. The first night I had three patients which included a 84 year old man who sustained a hip and right shoulder/humerous fracture from a fall at home and a history of HTN, CKD, MI with coronary stent placement, and diabetes, an 86 year old woman admitted for rapid A-fib with history of TIA, HTN, CHF, and rheumatoid arthritis, and finally a 35 year old woman who was being discharged following her treatment for polynephritis. During my final shift, I cared for a 71 year…

    During my time with the Excell Education Pre-Physician Assistant Clerkship, I was able to serve the geriatric population by assessing their quality of life at the nursing home. After rounding on the residents, I spent my free time exchanging stories with the residents. One resident, in particular, Ann Marie, always enjoyed talking about her family and her life as a nurse; through our shared interest in health care, we became close. One day, Ann Marie…

    She took the time to teach me how to take a good clinical history, perform a focused physical examination, the importance of good bedside manners and to treat all patients with compassion and respect.

    It takes a real lion-hearted person to fly into the face of caring for ill patients. Nursing is a career that demands both life-saving skills and devotedness towards those in need of medical attention. Despite the fact, that it’s a career that is not for everyone I believe I have the aspect of fulfilling a sickly person who is in a vigorous environment. I seek to pursue in my near future an occupation, working as an emergency room nurse. As a former high school graduate, I completed my four years of school at Robert Morgan Educational Center and Technical College receiving knowledgeable hands-on training from teachers, who were medical experts in the healthcare field.…

    Transplant administration is a very hard area to work as there is a great amount of critical thinking as well as coordinating efforts. When new employees come to work in our department, each person watches transplant rounds as well as transplant teaching. This is a way that the individual can observe how the transplant surgery team functions and can understand the daily transplant rounds report that is emailed by me. The post-transplant teaching which encompasses the immunosuppressant medications, signs, and symptoms of rejection and infection, and follow-up transplant clinic visit lasts for about an hour and a half. The nurse coordinator is observing the close interaction by the transplant surgical team and the minuscule details given to each patient.…

    In regard to working this profession, I’ve discovered a new-found awareness of focus and understanding. If there’s anything that I’ve learned from my aunt, it’s that the patients she works with are undergoing a difficult situation and I must be the one in control to guide them through this process. It is a long and exhausting road for them, you must be the one to help them understand the illness, what they and you can do to ease the pain and create a plan for them so they may live a healthier life. I truly understand now how much work it’ll be. It’s going to be long nights and a lot of paperwork, but through it all, if I can assist these patients it will all be worth it.…
