Ethical Considerations for EBP and reflect

Ethical Considerations for EBP and reflect

Comments 0 Comment

After completing all of the ethical assignments and watching the movie “Miss Ever’s Boys” my understanding of what nurses contribute during ethical research has changed because before I thought nurses didn’t really have a big part in the ethical research I thought that went to a committee but now I know that there is more nurses do, they inform patients about some of the risks and benefits of being in the research or make sure that informed consent was signed…

When I think of ethics, I think about doing the right thing for others and looking at the greater good even if it may be a difficult decision.  The role that nurses have regarding ethical evidence implementation and generation I would assume is that they find or come across an ethical problem and they do research on it. That something is wrong with a patient that has a hard ethical question towards it like if a patient who is malnourished should…

During the process of the finding evidence and analyzing what we found, we found that our topic is more common than we thought. There is more information about postpartum depression and what that means/ what it can do to mothers than I knew. When we had to analyze what we found and go through the literature that we wanted to use, I wouldn’t say that we changed our minds on the topic that we picked but it definitely opened up…

During the process of needing to choose a topic, find a PICOT question, and then also finding scholarly articles to go with both of those, we have needed to either tweak or revise our question. Throughout this journey there have been some bumps that we have encountered such as the articles not being as helpful or not exactly going along with out question, so we did need to find others that would work. The way that we have come to…

When arriving at simulation on Friday I was very nervous, I had done the preparation for the day and knew what I was going to say and what was expected of the day, but I was still nervous. I knew that there were going to be actors coming in and that we were going to have to go through the scenarios, but I was nervous that I was going to ask the wrong questions that what I had on my…

This semester we have to join a group and write a paper using evidence based practice. I think this process is going to be tough at times but overall will be a good experience. I think finding a topic choice won’t be the worse bit but might be slightly difficult trying to find something that we all agree on as well as just trying to find something to write about in general. I believe that our communication plan won’t be…

Discussion 1:Culture, stigma and mental illness

Discussion 1:Culture, stigma and mental illness

Comments 0 Comment

I think that there is so much stigma around mental illnesses because many people don’t understand what to do if they or someone they know has a mental illness. For so many years we were always told that if there was something wrong with someone metally then they were strange/different and not in a good way. Many people like to be able to see something that is brocken or wrong liike with a brocken bone, some mental illnesses you can’t…

Empathy and Compassion

Empathy and Compassion

Empathy and compassion are two important concepts when it comes to nursing. Being able to integrate those into daily interactions with not just our patients but those around us is something that can take years to get right. As nurses we are always learning and knowing our limits, with being empathetic and compassionate towards others, it can elevate our care towards people.   What does empathy mean? Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of others (Empathy 2020)….

The art of nursing

The art of nursing

I chose this image when talking about the art of nursing because nursing is an art. The word art means an expression of human creative skill which is typically in a visual form but with nursing it is a creative use of oneself. Nursing is an art there are many forms of nursing and like art nursing helps people just in a different way. Nurses are important to have just like art is, without nurses we wouldn’t have the care…

In module 3 it focused on knowledge. The module went over things like nursing knowledge and what nurses do and learn throughout the years to provide same and effective care. It went of an overall knowledge for nursing and a focused knowledge that is needed. This module has helped me realize that there is a bigger picture to nursing and that I’ll be learning something new everyday. It went over that as we get the experience of nursing then the…
