For instance, a nurse with substance abuse disorder can justify his action as a reasonable coping mechanism to perform his job. However, with the ANA Code of…

I participated in this program last year and it was one of the most insightful experiences in the medical field I been able to have. Volunteering is great however, shadowing is much more, ironically, engaging. It provokes me to think critically when observing situation as if I was taking care of the patient myself. Then, I can match it up with what the physician whom I am shadowing does and thinks. I have done much volunteering however, when you are performing many mechanical tasks it takes…

Many people are now including organ donation in their living will. This is a noble and admirable practice. Imagine how many people your organs could save when you die.

As a class we learned many things by…

Many people assume there’s risk of nursing technology provides. They believe there are sometimes medical errors and not having proper direct patient care training. Although I agree…

• Explain the major professional challenges you faced in the completion of your practicum. As a part of my practicum, I worked at Department of Health, White River Junction, Vermont. One of the things I have noticed is that my practicum site is a little disorganized. As a part of my practicum, I was supposed to contact local physicians about the community resources on safe disposal of prescription medications. I was told that there was a drop-box located in the local sheriff’s office and…

There is one particular experience which undoubtedly brought to light the idea that many people face daily struggles. This encounter occurred when I helped treat an eight-year-old, autistic boy. The child was nonverbal, and arrived with a persistent fever of 104 degrees Fahrenheit.

His ears required…
