My paper on travel nursing is related to patient-centered care. The travel nursing model (i.e., 13-week contracts) means there is frequent staff turnover. This type of setup may make continuity of care more difficult to maintain, thus affecting patient outcomes.

To advocate for the profession, I will join a professional organization like the American Nurses Association (ANA) so that I can advocate for my patients and my workplace. As for advocating for myself, I will ensure that my workload is reasonable and safe. #NUR3601#M4W10
I will balance leadership, accountability, and responsibility by: taking initiative when appropriate, taking ownership of my actions and not making excuses, doing the right thing, and fulfilling all expectations.

One technology in healthcare is telehealth. One way that telehealth could cause miscommunication is if there are distractions in either the provider or the patient's environment. To solve this problem, both parties should conduct the meeting alone, in a quiet room.#NUR3106#M3W7
One challenge to using effective communication in healthcare is redundancy. If a message is too repetitive, it may lead to information overload and cause the message to get missed. Using the SBAR technique could minimize passing too much or too little information.#NUR3106#M3W6

The nursing staff committed malpractice in the case of Mrs. H by failing to communicate, meet the standard of care, and update progress when charting. The correct action would have been to monitor Mrs. H more closely and notify the doctor and Mrs. H's family early.

In this situation, the guiding ethical principle is beneficence. One way to encourage the patient to accept the treatment plan is to tell the patient how dire their situation is and then, as the patient makes progress, return the privileges that had been taken.

If I could choose today, I would work in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). I love babies; they are not only adorable but also resilient.

I have always had a deep love for restorative care. I want to be a nurse so I can help restore people to their optimum health. I also want to work as part of a team, as I enjoy collaborating with others to find the best solutions.
