A nail technician needs to take much consideration and care into planning the physical layout of the premises. Standards need to be presented to achieve the maximum impression of professionalism and beauty care. By combining these two (2) factors, it presents a relaxing and attractive environment for the client as well as the owner. The client room will have all the necessary equipment on hand during treatments, the atmosphere is relaxing and all waiting clients are well looked after. Space…

During the last two weeks at the Royal Melbourne Hospital in the Emergency Department I have had a taste of the fast and the effective pace of the Emergency Department. Learning from my field educator: Amanda May, I have been exposed to a range of scenarios which include: Bipolar disorder, abortion, child protection, domestic violence, homelessness and post traumatic stress disorder. In doing so, throughout the two weeks I have picked up on four common themes: Homelessness, Child Protection,…

Through exploring ‘Women’s Health Magazine’ covers I encountered two narratives that communicated how women accomplish health. The magazine covers presented bellow were the cultural artifacts, or texts, used in my content analysis research (van den Hoonaard, 2014: 121). Using an unobtrusive method, I considered these artifacts on two levels: manifest content (easily observable content) and latent content (the implicit meaning in the content) (van den Hoonaard, 2014: 121). The first narrative…

Evidenced-based practice enables the healthcare environment to constantly evolve in the goal to enhance patient quality care, reduce clinical errors, and overall improve the work environment. Hence, “nurses who base their clinical decisions on current, scientifically obtained evidence are being professionally accountable” (Kozier, Erb, Berman, Snyder, Buck, Yiu & Stamler, 2013, p.41). A current and legal nursing issue that was observed in the clinical setting encompassed nursing negligence to…

One of the biggest things that pops into my head about psychosocial when it comes to burn victims, would be the possibility of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Receiving serious burns can be traumatic to the patient, but it is not just that, the situations surrounding what caused the burn could be just as traumatic. An example I can think of is a house fire; family members could have been lost along with all of the patient’s belongs. So, this patient is not just dealing with the trauma…

suffers from a shortage now but will be much worse in the future. There are several factors that I am aware of before research, and several I will learn. From what I already know, Nurses today are forced to work more with less resources resulting in mental and physical exhaustion and high turnover rates. Some nurses decided to leave the field all together. What needs to be done to elevate the shortage today and the stress from the current working conditions? If there is such a nursing shortage…

Working in numerous Hospital facilities for nearly 3 years and counting, I have experienced many different environments and cultures throughout Texas. The first Hospital I had ever worked for had just been remodeled the year before. When you drove down the street you saw this giant building with a wide strip of glass from roof to bottom that glistened in the sun and it just screamed clean and new. Once you entered through the sliding glass doors there was a help desk in the center of the room…

medication (Treas & Wilkinson, 2014). Not obtaining the patient a Christian Science practitioner as he requested (Treas & Wilkinson, 2014). Members of a patient's health care team must support their beliefs and values even if they do not agree. Nurses must become confident and competent with spiritual caregiving, expanding their skills in assessing the spiritual domain, and in developing and implementing appropriate interventions (Catalano, 2015, p. 529). Some interventions to ensure the…

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. Enterkin, Robb, & Mclaren (2013) mentioned in a study that delivering a safe, protected, non-judgemental and impartial area for knowledge has been revealed to have many benefits such as a sense of empowerment and positive thoughts about the facility. I assist in training the new nurse coordinators for taking transplant call…
