I would not have realised that I making judgements about my colleagues that are more experienced than me. If I was put in this position again I would reflect on my past actions and experience, I would read the patients notes before attending appointments made with them the visit speaking to mentor to see where I can improve and writing down my actions after visiting patients and observing my behaviour and attitude over a period of time. Writing is a means where one can facilitate reflective practice (Heath,1998).

In the scenario before the student nurse makes any decisions about the parent’s issues they should consider the ethics frame works. Beauchamp and Childress (2009) has four principles for ethics. Advocacy is when acting on behalf of someone, speaking up for them (Cambridgeshire County Council, 2008). An example, the student nurse in the scenario will stand up for the parent and make sure she get the help she needs. Beneficence is where the student nurse will act what benefits her patients (Beauchamp and Childress, 2009).…
Putting knowledge into practice I feel is the fundamental concept of nursing. Each clinical practice and SIM gives me the opportunity to further comprehend the concepts of decision making, reflect on what worked well in my assessments and decision, and what areas I can continue to work towards improving my technical skills, clustering of data and relational capacity with clients. I feel with each experience in practice, my depth of understanding of nursing diagnosis and intervention is expanded. The patient assessment and basic medication administration SIM helped pull together the client, health history, risk factors, determinates of health, medications, current health issues and psychosocial factors that influence the clients healing…

It is amazing how much effort actually goes into “paying attention”. Until reading this chapter and listening to the classroom lecture on attention controls, I never realized how daunting of a task focusing on the right thing at the right time could be. From getting ready for school in the morning to completing academic tasks throughout the day, there are so many opportunities for a child to become distracted or overloaded with information. Without having the proper attending skills to “conduct” our brains, children can miss out on valuable information they need to be successful in school. The student, Clarke that Dr. Levine described, reminds me a lot of a first grade student I used to work with in the classroom.…

How to be a Successful Student Becoming a successful student can be stressful and difficult to manage, as well as in the article “What makes a Successful Business Person,” by Murray Raphel, but with the help of previous experiences I had and some from the article you will be able to become one. I believe that a successful student should have motivation, have study habits, and time management. The first skill for a student to be successful is to have motivation for college. I believe that without maintaining motivation a student will not be able to be prepared for college.…
Nobody likes practicing, for anything. Many endeavors would be so much easier if people were just masters of anything they pursued. However, the world would be extremely bland if that were the case. Practicing an instrument is no different. Much of the time spent practicing an instrument can be tedious, frustrating and ultimately discouraging.…
In Part III, Senge discussed in detail the four core disciplines for building the learning organization: personal mastery, mental models, shared vision and team learning. As to personal mastery, Senge emphasized that the primary asset of organizations is people and that their potential needs can be tapped to the advantage of the organization. Personal mastery is about continuously learning to live creatively rather than reactively and recognizing where one is going and why. Thus, people with personal mastery have an underlying sense of purpose, they know how to work with forces of change rather than resist change, they are inquisitive and though they are individuals, they feel more connected to other people and processes. As such, people may see work as sacred (i.e., of value in itself for enhancing lives) rather than instrumental (i.e., to earn the money to live a full life outside work).…
