WHO AM I

My name is Kingsley and am enthusiastic about travelling, caring for people, and putting smiles on the faces of people in the field of health care by always supporting and caring for them the right way.

I have heard couple of Nursing internship at the university of Nicosia as a Nursing student before I moved to Finland to get a Masters degree in Toxicology and Environmental health risk Assessment. So the working life and daily practice of a student Nurse is not new to me but I believe every place comes with a new experience. I have also done my first internship at Attendo Vänrikki, my medical Internship at the cancer department,  vastasyntyneiden teho-osasto and worked as a care giver at Attendo Saaristo, Pratical nurse at Harjula Osasto 1, Puijonlaakso osasto 1, levasen dementia osasto.

WHAT KIND OF A LEARNER AM I

I see myself to be an active learner and also, I really like to learn by practicing. Am quick to ask questions when am either confused about a task or an application I do not understand.

LEARNING SKILLS.

I am eager to gather more skills from the clinical practice by applying what I have studied in school and with the experience I have gathered in the years, also by listening, watching, and taking corrections from my mentor at practice all the time.

I hope to achieve this goals by applying all evidence-based practice through my period of internship with the help of my mentor nurse and other nurses at the workplace.

ETHICAL KNOWLEDGE AND PROFESSIONALITY:

Level of competence: I acquainted myself  with the values and principles of nursing care/profession. I am easily accessible to new people and my strength is being social in new situations and try to calm the situation down in an unfriendly environment. “

How to achieve goals: “I want to become a professional who, despite the patient’s behavior, remains self-contained and professional. This is why I want to be involved in a variety of challenging listening situations and communication skills. I need realistic feedback about my  working with patient from my mentor nurse and other nurses especially on the spot in other to help me improve and avoid such mistakes again.

CLINICAL SKILLS:

At the school I have been training to work ergonomically, i have also gained experience from previous internship like the cancer department in KYS,  vastasyntyneiden teho-osasto and also in the home care services in Attendo and other social health care services. My pediatric experience comes as a result of several simulation classes that i have acquired during simulated nursing scenarios and procedures in school, I have done my possible best to follow all procedures set aside by the teachers and ethically.

I hope to improve on my clinical skills, scrub nurse skills and anesthetic skills by following the protocols in the ward, mentor advice and also remembering my lessons in school, i will also remember to follow adequate patient care and follow all ethical procedures. Also, I hope my mentor nurse to guide me how to work and support me ergonomically in different situations and give me feedback at all times.”

TEACHING AND GUIDANCE:

As a nursing assistant, I have practiced guiding patients and their relatives through various ways of communication skills. I have been guided with the use of various aseptic techniques , patient guidance, catheter insertion, medical interventions and various pediatric intervention.

in my previous internship i have been told that i pay attention to details and very willing to take up new responsibilities and am not scared to ask questions when needed, so this been noticed by my previous mentors i will like to capitalize on that and achieve the following goals.

My first goal is to be able to listen to both the patient and his/her family members, in other to be able to give the best practice that I have been able to gain from school and also show empathy during this period.

My second goal is to learn to anticipate incidents in different work environments and pay attention to patient safety and several signs of perioperative skills. I hope i can discuss with my supervisor what matters are important to each patient in different procedures and I will independently seek more information regarding different methods in the ward. Also, my goal is to be part of the nursing staff daily routine, as this internship will give me good possibilities to learn to work in a Finnish nursing environment and proper idea in this specialized ward. There are a lot of new things for me to learn, working with a different set of specialized nursing staff is one of them. I look forward to it.
