Learning skills<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been able to plan my shifts with my mentor nurse and also set out clear and achievable goals for this internship and how I want to achieve them right from the onset. I make it an habit to ask for feedback and also reflect weekly on my blog which has helped me to stay focused on my goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ethical Competence and Professionalism<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My nursing care has been guided by the ethics of nursing whereby the residents and their family members were treated with dignity and respect, their health records were treated with utmost confidentiality. Patient’s safety was also prioritize when rendering nursing care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinical Competence<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been able to improve on my clinical expertise in elderly care through the use of the various assessment tool for functional ability such as the MMSE, RAI, these has given me more insight into elderly needs and care. Also, various databases such as Terveysportti, BNF were used to get to learn more about their medications and interactions in order to be able to give proper guidance and education. Also, I observed that medication dosage such as paracetamol was modified in the elderly to 500mg. I ensure I work using aseptic techniques in order to prevent the spread of infection. I have also been improving on ergonomic skills because I realized from previous internship that is an area I needed to work on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Social and Healthcare Working Environment and Evidence Based Care<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been able to work according to care guidelines as stipulated by my training unit and local healthcare authority. I have been able to assess the service needs of my clients and also refer them to necessary quarters that offers the services needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guidance and Teaching Competence<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The guidance of residents and sometimes loved ones is what I tend and ensure to do almost on a daily basis because of their forgetfulness due to their underlying medical condition as most of them suffer from one form of dementia or another, this has greatly improved my patience and resilience which are qualities required of nurses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Work Community Competence<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During one of the doctor’s visitation and consultation, I was able to make tangible contributions as regards patients and be able to make achievable care plan. Also, I worked with physiotherapist to create physical activity for residents successfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
