JOCELYN ROSAL CACAYORIN, RN

BEST PRACTICES:
Through conducting home visits to the community people I was able to
identify clients who belong to the poorest people in the community whom
needed assistance in seeking medical consultation (a female child with Cleft
lift & Palate-4yrs.old, a male child with Global Developmental Delay-3yrs.old).
Utilizes various effective data gathering techniques in keeping an eye on the
health status of all recipients of care.
Records and reports health status and presence of health problems in the
community.

LESSONS LEARNED:
I realized the worth of nurses to the community. We are the human
component in the healthcare delivery system, uniquely prepared to reach out
to those in need. We fill the void of human caring created by clinical
environments. We, as nurses, can never let go of that awesome responsibility
that we share.
We may have times that we are tired, drained, frustrated and disappointed
with our profession, but the greater good of what we do and who we serve far
outweighs the episodic challenges. I am grateful every day that I am a nurse.
Despite the challenges, I would never want to go through life as anything
else. As part of the nursing community, let us value our existence to make a
difference in our patients.
