Student Reflection (Thoroughly answer all questions)
What did you learn this week that has contributed to your growth as a nurse? Please explain

For starters, I learned what postpartum cardiomyopathy is which relates the stuff i’m learning being on a cardiac floor to my field
of interest which I really liked. I got to experience having two patients and understand what that’s like which is more realistic
because when I am a real nurse I will have more than one patient at a time, so it was good practice! I learned more about epic and
where to find information through exploring a little more on both my patients files so that was really nice. I learned about a TEE
test and the risks, which involves possible teeth loss. I was surprised to know there Is a dentist in the hospital for dental
consultations. I always assumed dental services were taken care of out of the hospital. I learned about what a cardioversion is and
was surprised to know it’s just an AED basically. I also learned more about a cultural assessment and the kind of questions you
need to ask about the patient and how it’s beneficial.

Which objective did you accomplish this week? How did you do it?

I completed AM care. Vital signs and assessments. I successfully managed 2 patients for the first time! It was a challenge but super
fun and I loved it! I completed a cultural assessment on one my patients and although some questions felt awkward I’m glad I did it
and have experience with asking tough questions now. I continued to learn more about the heat and more invasive problems and
procedures.

Do you have any concerns about your performance? If so, what are your plans for improvement? Please explain.

My only concern is that I feel like i’m missing something. I feel like I am on the computer a lot at clinical looking things up
and I just want to be sure I am getting enough patient interaction and experience but at times it can feel awkward just
sitting in a patients room for too long especially if they do not want to talk. I just want to be sure being on the computer
and documenting and looking up information and exploring patient files is a good and valuable way to be spending my
time and that i’m not missing out on something.

complications for her patient being discharged. This patient was immobile, sedentary and incontinent and she stated how this
would be difficult upon discharge. Becca and I reviewed prioritization and why it is important. Both of her patients were
challenging in different ways (one had complex insurance needs and the other had issues with risk vs benefit problems). Becca was
able to verbalize which patient she would see first and why. This patient was the patient who had risk vs benefit problems. The
patient needed a cardioversion but needed a TEE before the cardioversion to assess for clots. However they could not do the TEE
until some of her teeth were removed and the patient was on a heparin gtt. Becca was able to verbalize all of these “issues” to me
and why it could be a problem. We discussed potential solutions on this complex patient.

In response to what Becca said on her weekly eval, I would say that Becca is doing fine. However, patient communication is very
important and it is very important to practice this skill. This skill will always be necessary to her nursing practice and even if you
feel like a patient “does not want to talk”, asking questions is always beneficial. It can start with a simple “so where are you
from”/”do you live around here” and go from there. Even though sitting at the computer, looking up information on your patient is
beneficial, that communication is key as well.

Becca participated in post conference with her peers and completed a cultural assessment on her patients.
