differ from those in other nursing units. The ICU nurse-patient ratio is 1:1 and sometimes 1:2 or 1:3. Their daily tasks are focused on the improvement of their patient. The ability to think critically is extremely important as an ICU nurse in order to recognize problems that may arise during the patient’s stay and be able to effectively implement these solutions for the best possible outcome.

one can take to become a nurse. I think that this is very comforting and important to understand. The most valuable thing I learned was about setting reasonable goals. All too often I set unrealistic goals and give up on them. However, I learned that instead of setting big, impossible goals, I should set small and reasonable goals.

This study will apply the Health Promotion Model (HPM) from the nursing theory and Polyvegal theory of Steve Porges. Music will promote the health of the floor nurses by decreasing their anxiety and depression levels, so that the concept of HPM will be effective to use in this study. Nola J. Pender intended the HPM nursing theory in order to be a complementary counterpart to models of health protection ("Health Promotion Model - Nursing Theory," n.d.). This model defines health as a positive…

Nurse Ratched epitomizes an authoritarian leader with her superiority, and inability to collaborate with the other members of the ward. In attempt to assert her control over McMurphy, Nurse Ratched reminds him that, “‘You're committed, you realize. You are... under the jurisdiction of me... the staff." She's holding up a fist, all those red-orange fingernails burning into her palm. "Under jurisdiction and control—" (125). When threatened by McMurphy, she forces him to “realize” that he is…
