Iβll advocate for my profession by volunteering for a campaign, volunteering for a campaign I will ensure my profession is being represented in government. Iβll advocate for inclusion and representation on hospital boards and committees to represent my community. #NURS3106#M410
In my future clinical practice, I will strive to be a leader by not only holding my team members accountable, but also by holding myself accountable. I will balance my responsibilities by being punctual, productive and organized. #NURS3106#M4W9
1) distractors are pt level of consciousness, immunization history and frequency of output. 2) Correct response: pt weight. 3) My rationale is that since the patient is dehydrated pt weight would be the best way to measure and observe a physical difference. #NURS3106#M3W8
The Electronic Health Record (EHR) is used to store patient records. Miscommunication when charting patient information could result in risk such as overdosage of medication. To reduce EHR errors the nurse should double check before submitting records. #NURS3106#M3W7

I followed @SafetyNurse Barbara Olson, I find her to be inspirational as she focuses on striving for improvements in the nursing field that caters to patients by providing them with healthcare that improves their quality of life. She is an avid patient advocate.

In this scenario, I would be empathetic with Mr. Green, I would talk with him about how he is feeling. I would be morally obligated to report his statement to a supervisor due to the ethical principle of beneficence. It is my responsibility to guide him from harm.#NURS3106#M2W3
If I could choose a clinical setting today I would choose ED/Trauma unit. Iβm interested in the ED/trauma unit because in that clinical setting you never know what you may encounter, the patient population is diverse and there are always new things to learn.
