While at the University of New England we get to have the experience of doing clinical rotations at hospitals and other health care settings, while doing these rotations we get to meet many different people from all different backgrounds. Some of these people we’ll only be with for a few short hours but others we could be with for our whole clinical rotations. No matter the amount of time spent with these patients, some of people have a greater impact…
My preconceived thoughts about dying with dignity include, terminally ill patients having the choice of when they want and how they’ll end their life. I knew that only certain states allowed for this to happen and that there was a long process that people needed to go through. I knew some information on this topic because freshman year I took an ethics class and we talked about this but at that time I believe it was still a newer topic…
After picking a topic and getting articles that supports that topic, as well as having to draft and revise our proposal. We as a team realized that our topic was too specific so we needed to broaden what we wanted to research. We needed to revise the topic that we chose as the topic of intake and output recording on a cardiac floor was too narrow so we switched it to just the importance of recording intake and output in…
My initial thoughts on the use of Electronic Health Records were that they were used in the hospitals and other health care services but not much other than that. I knew doctors, nurses and other healthcare workers had access to their patients records but anything more I didn’t know that they could go to past patients that had or that other hospitals could pull up records of patients. I knew that have the electronic health records was an easier way…
Trauma exposure can impact all aspects of someone’s life, it can impact someone’s psychological well being by increasing their risk for having depression, anxiety and even PTSD, which can then impact someone’s social well-being as well. If someone has bad enough anxiety or depression, then it can impact how they interact with others especially if someone has PTSD and something triggers them without any waring. Trauma can also impact someone’s spiritual well-being as well, many time when someone goes through…
There are many different factors that influence the health of vulnerable and marginalized populations, looking more deeply at individual, environmental and societal factors. Some individual factors would include race, age, gender, sex, and income would all influence the health of a population. Environmental factors include where they live whether it is in the city or the suburbs, how many people they live with, whether they have transportation and if so what kind like a car or if they must take…
I believe that this dissemination project will be a good learning opportunity for everyone and not just in the aspect of EBP and doing a class project but in that we will have to figure out how to communicate with nurses on our floor about what they think needs to be changed. I think that might also be a learning opportunity for them as well because some people might think everything is going well and nothing needs to change but…
This paper is about how the different socioeconomic statuses can effect women and postpartum depression. We looked at three different article to help us find information to support out claim. While looking at these articles we found that those living in lower socioeconomic status were more likely to develop PPD, and that their status would also effect their treatment options as well. We also found that there were other factors that can contribute to PPD and while looking at these…
This team project has taught me many different things, from what nursing research is to how to formulate and write a research paper and learning to collaborate with others on a paper. This research project wasn’t always easy, having to go back and find new information that in the end might change out topic question was sometime frustrating but in the long run it ended up helping use strengthen what we were talking about and make the paper that much…
This past year has been challenging for many people and in many different aspects. On March 13th the nation had declared a nation emergency. We were no longer able to go back to school from what we thought would be a week-long break, we weren’t able to go outside as we had now been put into quarantine which who knew how long this would last. As the pandemic progressed and more people got sick, the treat was moving closer to home….
