Personal Narrative: My Third Day Of School Nursing

Improved Essays
My third day of school nursing called for many parent phone calls that Brenda let me do. I feel it’s important to be able to explain a situation to a parent on the phone, as I will be doing this in the health care field, explaining a situation to a doctor. One case in particular, I called a mother and left a message. I introduced myself, and told her to call as back and then gave her the number to the school. I ended my messaging by telling her to have a great day. When I got off the phone, Brenda commented on how professional and nice my message was. That made me feel really good, as I value professionalism and a healthy parent/nursing student relationship. Some other ways, that I demonstrated professionalism was by arriving on early, in my

It was difficult waking up early on the first day because prior to then, the earliest I had woken up during the summer was 8:00. I got lost going to FACS on the first day, and then again on the second day. I found my regular classes easily enough, and I haven’t gotten any tardies.…

    As a future register nurse and as a woman I feel that a have a tremendous responsibility to give back to my community. I believe that one of the most forgotten populations in our community is the elderly, and as a society we have so much to learn from them and to thank them for what they did in the past. I strongly believe that if I could make some positive changes I would decide to do them to influence some senior citizens’ lives and to change their isolation for companion and thankfulness. I would advocate for the elderly with our authorities and I would request a budget to build a clinic to provide preventive health care services for them. I would designate a budget to build a nursing home for the elderly that do not have a place to…

    Although the family reacted in a way that the student found they were not being as helpful. This included the mother being upset and turning away when she was told not to feed her child. In addition, when the mother reported to the student nurse that her sons’ condition was improved from the previous night, the student was hesitant to respond back as the instructor entered. In addition, with the amount of stress the mother is dealing with at the moment, the mother broke down crying, shortly after the instructor and student entered the room to administer medications. By being able to find the mother options to communicate back home as well as food access during her hospital stay, I think the mother appreciated the help while she is here with her…

    It’s 0500 in the morning, and Taylor is getting ready for her first clinical as a paramedic student. Taylor is 5’2, looks as though she is 12, and has a heart larger than life. When people would ask why she chose the career field she is in, she would always respond with a smile, “I’m an adrenaline junkie, and this gives me a fix like no other.” People often wonder what inspires people like her to do what they do for people they don't know, and it all comes back down to something as simple and being the light in the dark, the calm in the storm, and hope amongst the chaos. Working in a field that is so demanding of your energy, your time, and your emotions, can really drain someone.…

My stress level was at 10 because I skip meals and stayed up all night long to finish my papers.…

    Scraping your knee on the sidewalk, getting hit hard with the basketball, falling off the monkey bars, these are just a few examples of ways you can get hurt at school. The worst case scenario is you would end up going to the school nurse as a result of an accident. Before first grade, suffering an injury was way out of the norm for me. The only time I got hurt in first grade, I bypassed the school nurse and went straight to the hospital. It was a scalding August afternoon, and I just finished another tiring day of first grade.…

    When I was a child and a lot of times during my adolescence I had several moments of indecision about the things that I wanted. From the simplest to the most complicated.
