Nurse is a person who is dedicated to taking care of people in the.docxcherishwinsland
Nurse is a person who is dedicated to taking care of people in the health care field. Nurses play a role of leader in every step of their career. They use their skills, knowledge and experiences to take care of individual and communities. Therefore, every nurse should be aware of their leadership role within self as well as need to identify weakness which may be due to lacking knowledge and skills. Nursing is an independent profession of health science and has a great influence in shaping healthy work environment. Being A nurse for a few years as well as taking the position of charge nurse, I have found myself having the quality of the leadership traits. I feel that there are more rooms for me to do and learn, which will make me a reliable nursing professional. This paper discusses the weakness and strength of a nurse based on the nurse manager skills tools. The nurse manager inventory skill tool reflects my skills, behavior, and professional accountability, career planning, my journey disciplines and reflective practice reference behaviors.
Personal and professional accountability
When evaluating myself on personal growth, career development, continuing education and certification, I would rate myself in the average range. Despite of being enrolled in school for BSN degree, I still have more to do such as, medical/surgical and orthopedic certification are my area of interest. Currently working to achieve these along with my BSN degree. I am a stroke certified nurse and a member of the American Nurses Association since 2010. After completing my BSN degree, I plan to continue my nursing for a doctorate degree in nursing. I have not been active in the legislation in advocation my fellow nurses nor my patients. However, I rate myself high when it comes to the ethical act and nursing practices. I am highly influenced through the evidence bases practice to improve the quality of care and patient outcomes. It is important for me to demonstrate this behavior as well as show dedication to other fellow nurses to keep the culture of practice and improve the quality of care.
Career planning
With the evolution of health care industry nurses’ responsibility, role, education changes according to the healthcare demand. This evolving of the profession has created an atmosphere for nurses to regulator their career in futures according to the needs of society. According to NCBI “career planning and development provides nurses with a focused strategy to take greater responsibility for engaging in the ongoing planning process that is crucial throughout the major stages of their career (Rebecca Hendren, October 2010)”. Nurses should also continue to develop their knowledge, leadership skills, and competencies with other health care professionals as well. According to Institute of Medicine (IOM) report, sickest patient will only be admitted to hospital, but the less sick patient remains at home (Donner, G. J., & Wheeler, M. M. (2001, June). This indicates that nu.
Nurses play a crucial and essential role in delivering patient’s qua.docxamit657720
Nurses play a crucial and essential role in delivering patient’s quality of care, being the most direct caregivers for many of them. Nurses like Florence Nightingale, Isabel Hampton, and Lilian Wald were heroes who provided a tremendous knowledge that nowadays we are still using, and made a profound difference in the quality of care of patients, being their legacies followed today (Black, 2017, p. 324). Nursing has evolved in various aspects meaning that many changes have occurred in ways that are responsive to changes in the environment we are surrounded for. One of the changes we can observe in which this nursing field has evolved is gender equality knowing that in previous decades, and when Florence Nightingale started her nursing profession was a female dominated career where only women were the ones who provided care for patient, but today many males’ candidates are practicing the profession and are involved in patient’s care.
The way they used to dress was totally different and not the same we use to wear today, they worn long white dresses, white hats, and white stockings, and nowadays nurses wear comfortable and beautiful scrubs, no hats, no dresses, and appropriate shoes and socks as well. As time has passed nurses have grown into highly specialized, and respected members of health care teams being a key element of the healthcare industry. Nursing education 100 years ago was a more direct training on how to address doctors, while nursing education today is more complex, formal, and comprehensive than it was before. Actually, today we as nurses need to take a complex and national exam as a requirement for becoming a licensed RN. While we get more knowledge and foundation of a stronger education we take into consideration the patient’s responsibility in our shoulders, and especially when we become advanced practice nurses.
The impact of technology has allowed nurses become more precise, and efficient, alleviating some of the physical demands. The way nurses do their job today is easier than before keeping in mind that patient’s records are digital helping us with less paperwork, and preventing human mistakes on charts, that way is easier for us while doing an assessment on a patient. Another advantage we have with technology use is using the mobile apps to look up any medical information, as well as the special beds and chairs providing us a more comfortable environment as we don’t have to do so much heavy lifting (Dawn, 2016).
Today, Nursing is what I expected when I entered this education. Although I never imagined being a nurse, I’m more than happy and proud of myself for having chosen this beautiful career. This teaches me every day to be a better person and value the love and care I provide to people who really need my help. I always thought about the tremendous responsibility I would have while dealing with real people who are really sick, but I’m always eager to learn new things and expand my knowledge to be more success.

Indigenous Ingredients
Your first paragraph should introduce your ingredient. What is it? Why did you select it?
What does it mean to indigenous groups in the Bay Area? Identify a recipe you found for the
ingredient. Maybe, explain where you found the recipe and if there is a website, scholar,
influencer, indigenous community member attempting to promote people eating diets rooted
in ingredients that are indigenous to the region.
Spend a paragraph talking about making the dish and all your trials and tributations. Did
you make it in your dorm? How hard was that? Did a family member help? Where did you go to
shop for the ingredient? Was the place accessible to you or did you travel thousands of miles?
Wrap your reflection essay up talking about who you ate the dish with. What did working with
the ingredient reveal to you about the world-system Okhiro discussed in his chapter. Are
ingredient that are not indigenous to the region easy to obtain? If so, how is that connected to
the world-system?
*This is just a very quick example! Cranberries are NOT indigenous to the Bay Area.

Re: Dhara Patel
Dear Admissions Committee:
I am writing to recommend Dhara Patel as a candidate for your nursing program. She has been part of the Clinical Care
Volunteer (CCV) Program at Riverside Community Hospital since July 2012. The CCV Program duration is a minimum of
one year, during which participants engage in hands-on patient care at Riverside Community Hospital in Riverside, CA.
The CCV Program is designed to support its participants in gaining direct patient care experiences and providing them
with opportunity to interact with all members of the patient care team, facilitating the selection of their future careers.
Through her time in the CCV Program, Dhara has rotated through S3-Telemetry Unit, Pediatrics Department, Medical
Intensive Care Unit, Surgical Intensive Care Unit, Mother Baby Unit, the Emergency Department, and Labor and Delivery.
Some of her general duties included bathing and feeding patients, answering call lights, taking vitals with staff on newly
admitted patients, discharging patients, and providing comfort care services to patients and their families.
In both Maternity Department and the Emergency Department, Dhara was held to our highest standards on our most
demanding floors. Dhara was required to be professional and expedient in the Emergency Department, part of the triage
team that would welcome and process patients awaiting care at our hospital. The Maternity Department demanded
absolute dedication and work ethic from its volunteers, with a long list of items that staff need completed – everything
from stocking to bringing necessary equipment for staff to use when in a procedure.
Dhara is unwavering in the completion of her tasks. She has the resilience to balance school, work and this program with
admirable energy, completing incredibly long days while still giving her best to our patients and staff. A great deal of
success in the medical field comes from an individual’s ability to thrive under pressure. Here, Dhara has proven herself
more than capable. Among the many CCVs I have supervised and interacted with, I have met very few who can match
Dhara in work ethic.
And while work ethic is important, if it is matched by any of her other qualities, it would be her empathy. Dhara has striven
to engage with her patients, to be that friendly face that greats them on the units. Her empathy has extended to the staff
on the floors. Her two great qualities, empathy and dedication, will make her incredible at managing the patient’s
continuum of care.
In terms of hours served, Dhara has completed 302.75 clinical floor hours in our program, for a grand total of 319.25 total
hours, including trainings and projects.
She has proven herself to be dedicated to her work, and to truly love her assigned tasks. Overall, I believe that Dhara has
demonstrated her commitment to the health care field through her success in the program. It is for these reasons that I
submit my recommendation for Dhara’s acceptance into your program.
Sincerely,
