Personal Narrative: Day Two Clinicals

597 Words3 Pages

Day two clinicals. This day went so much smoother. I had the same two patient as the day before and one got discharged and I got a new patient. I feel like my second day I had an amazing relationship with my one patient. I got her to eat a little more that day because I knew what to talk to her about. When people are happier they tend to eat more than being depressed. She really enjoyed my company. Since she had a stage 4 pressure ulcer, they got an air mattress bed. We had to move her out of her old bed onto this new bed. In which I was worried about because she was bed bound. We had more than enough people to help me accomplish this. I had about seven people help with this process. I am very grateful for all the help I receive for this. I got to help you mess with the …show more content…

I help her eat some that day. I hung a piggy back for her that day as well. Later that night we change the dressing out on her pressure ulcer with the help of her RN nurse assigned to her. I have never seen that big of a pressure ulcer yet. It was so deep, you could see muscle and there was major tunneling going on. I feel so bad for this patient. As we were changing her dressing. I had the patient go to her happy place in which she talk to me about. She was on the beach with us (those whom were in the room) and we were all building sand castles with her. This was a nice non medicine therapeutic technique and she said she loved talking to me about her happy place. We did med her as well before we did this but it’s still has to hurt. At the end of the night she started to cry when I told her that I was leaving and I really hope she gets better soon. She told me I was so caring, nice, sweet and will make a good nurse. She didn’t want me to leave but understood I couldn’t stay forever. She’s the reason I love helping people, and knowing I made a difference in someone

    I followed CP’s case over the course of her week in hospital and I feel it is one that will shape my approach to patients and families dealing with chronic illness. Up until this point in my clinical attachment, the diabetic patients that I had met had all been diagnosed for a longer period of time and were familiar with their management routine. CP and her family were all understandably overwhelmed by the sudden turn of events. Her mother stated that “on Monday my little girl had never even been in a hospital before; the next day she was giving herself insulin injections”. In the first few days of CP’s stay in hospital, her mum would become quite teary when I was talking to her.

    This clinical experience has really helped me to sharpen my communication skills and realize just how important it is to understand mental health. We are told multiple times in class that mental health issues can be seen on any floor and that is the truth. I’ve seen patients in my older adult clinical on the pulmonary floor suffer from issues that range from anxiety to bipolar disorder and depression. Being able to understand how to approach people that suffer from these types of illnesses, allows us, the nurses, to give the patient the best care that we can. It helps to build a trusting relationship and get to know them on a personal level.

  • Patient Professionalism Essay

    979 Words  | 4 Pages

    Often times, a patient wants a doctor or nurse that maintains professionalism, but also shows compassion and empathy (Cohn, 2010). A doctor or nurse must carry out their duty to provide the best care possible and make sure their patient feels as though they are a part of the care plan. However, it is also important to maintain empathetic when a patient is having a hard time dealing with a diagnosis. A great way to balance these two, is to be empathetic for the patient’s circumstance, but to also not be too affected emotionally. It is alright to sometimes be emotional with patients, but the patient should not have to feel like they have to support their doctor or nurse.
