Learning Reflection

week 1

The things i did during my first week of internship are :

Getting to understand the ward and its protocols .

Accessing patients information and understanding the different diseases associated with the patients .

Assisting in NEWS information update for the patients and medication distribution

Description :

My tutor nurse and I was with different clients  to assess them and take care of them and I was also asked to do the same as was done by the tutor nurse and I was allowed to take some little responsibilies.

Feeling :

While i was with the patient i felt confident and felt empathy for the client ,I was worried about the language barrier and how to communicate with the patients. However having received theory classes on medical nursing ,i had to implement it and tried to communicate and take my time with the patient, as my tutor nurses were patient and really helpful.

Evaluation:

On evaluation , my tutor Nurse was with me and said it was a good one.

Analysis:

on my reflection while we were with the patient i was able to interact with the patient also being able to carry them along ,informing them on what i was doing  made me to gain confidence in myself and reflect as a nurse that while practicing i need to always go back to my book to keep me informed and updated as well as doing the right thing.

Conclusion:

my conclusion is that if I find myself in that situation again i will handle it much better than i did, taking note of what my tutor nurse said and also remembering the positive comment will help build my confidence in caring out the plan .

Action plan:

My action plan in the future is that I will be away to take on more responsibilities with the monitoring of my tutor nurses.

    You wrote weekly reflections (2) on the blog as instructed, nice.
    You identify one’s own strengths and development needs, actively seek feedback and utilize it in one’s professional development.
    It’s great that you’ve talked to patients in Finnish, your language skills improve when you use it boldly.
    I believe that you have done very well.
    You have described your experiences nicely and you have clear goals for how you will act in the future, very good.

  2. Hey Kingsley !

    Week 1 & 2 went really fast. I have read your reflection about these past weeks.
    You really have improved a lot, in such short time ! From day one, to day 13 you have honed your skills. You are swift, motivated and courageous. You dont hesitate to ask if something is on your mind and you are questing tutors (why are we doing, what we are doing), which is great !
    Your hand-skills (with IV,S.C.meds and fluids) have been improved. You monitor patients, and question the vitals (which vital signs are on a good level etc.).
    Even there is a slight language-barrier between you and the patients, i think your finnish is improving daily ! And you have managed the finnish-talking situations with great attitude !

    Keep up the nice work!

    For the weeks 3, 4 and 5, we are honing your skills even further. We discussed that you will be having your ”own patients” during these last 3 weeks of internship. We will also be focusing medication (p.o. s.c., i.m. i.v).

    See you in the next shift!
