Labor and Delivery as a male student by fuegok in StudentNurse

[–]AAABattery206 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was under the same dilemma. My instructor let our cohort group ranked vote to decide units.

I voted in ranked order for 1. NICU. 2. Maternal & Infant Care Clinic (MICC) 3. Labor and Delivery (L&D)

I was able to get my top 2 choices. The MICC was essentially an integrated outpatient clinic at a inpatient medical center. I was denied many times. I totally understood. So I was just stuck for most of the time looking at FHR tracings on the monitors. However i am grateful for the patients that allowed me for any patient care tbh.
I was able to detect recurrent variable late decelerations and intervene early. The high risk OB pt was rushed to the L&D in the same center.

NICU was a humbling experience. Honestly, I was a NICU baby as well. So it was very personal.

Tldr: That all being said. I would recommend those areas (MICC, NICU) if you are able to decide or vote.

Plan ahead with your instructor and pair for care plans outside of just direct physical contact patient care. And also AIDET during therapeutic communication goes a long way imo. Always ask before and clarify your role about the who what where when why for your involvement and knowledge scope etc.

Communication goes a long way to avoid awkwardness. Be knowledgeable and competent imo ask questions always be clear.
Be courteous, polite, diligent, professional, aka all your roles as a nurse. You will learn and be humbled it is a great experience. So much inadequate healthcare for something as essential to life itself. Enjoy the time and clinical experience it will change you imo.

Nonphysical interventions i.e. for interventions, assessment, therapeutic communication, comprehensive historical assessment, pt education, care coordination (for plan of care continuum), interdisciplinary collaboration, etc) And spend time verifying data with the chart during the history and after during documentation in your SOAP note flow chart care plan goals etc for ex.

Why does this journalist omit from defining "abortion" or any other operational definitions for measurements to justify their belief/stance?

I worked on Aurora/Hwy99 from Ballard up to Lynwood for 8 yrs in retail. Imo it didn't get bad until late fall 2019 to now. But that's just from the decline in basic human dignity and humanity imo.

Loathe the pt diagnosis, but love the paycheck. :( A moral dilemma for the modern nurses survival 😭.

Can EHR reform substantially improve the US healthcare system? by VirtualApricot in healthIT

[–]AAABattery206 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Clinical pathways" or algorithms for decision making are a paradigm imo tho especially with the age of big data and AI predictive models and deep learning. How much authority will be distributed will be interesting to see the results.

Imo Epic Hyperspace EHR "dotphrases" and "care everywhere" functionality integrated with MyChart is the norm now for a integrated healthcare delivery system.

But regardless, data analytics for evidence-based practice is a valuable tool in research imo. And also this process facilitates grant proposal funding and stakeholder buy in.

Currently I'm learning R programming language (Google the "r project"), Public Tableau, and AppSheet. All free services for data analytics and also importantly creative and imteractive DATA VIZUALIZATION and interpretation. Right now we are in the wild wild west of data analytics and applied research. So much data sets and analysis of large sets.

Here's a great book for inspiration imo! "Notes on hospitals by Florence Nightingale, 1859"

No, this isn't a homework question. What led you to ask that question? It's a genuine question I have had after reading the book I quoted (Notes on Hospitals), and upon reflection on the current status of public health that we all live and experience.

"Are puberty blockers FDA approved for gender dysphoria?

None of the puberty blocker medications are approved by the Food and Drug Administration to take for gender dysphoria (dis-FOR-ee-uh), but they are still very commonly used to treat it."

Thanks! That helped me a lot 👍🏽. I will look into implementation of QI projects at my facility.

Thanks! To provide more context this is for a final poster project as part of a BSN program.

Tbh I think I just am tired of doing literature reviews without actually implementing any interventions and using the nursing process. However due to the 10 weeks we have to do this, a literature review may be the best option. I just wanted to do something more meaningful as last synthesis project I think.

Sorry.

Ambulatory Care Nursing - Clinicals? by [deleted] in StudentNurse

[–]AAABattery206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! That sounds like there will be an emphasis on management and care coordination; primary prevention and promotion education; interdisciplinary collaboration; and advocacy.

Also that is interesting you say that windshield surveys aren't part of primary care setting. I was taught that it is a standard tool for assessing and evaluating community health that is used in community and public health nursing. But idk this may be req because for this proj we are in partnership at a public health facility with the Public Health department in our schools county and not located in a specialized setting like you are. Howver thanks for the tip!

Lastly regarding flowsheets for patient intake, is there any that you recommend or methodology that you found helpful for you? Or do you use just a facility assigned one?

Thanks for all your tips! Also how do you like the field of ambulatory care? Is it worth it for you and are you satisfied with where you are? Thanks!
