\nSelf-Assessment on Clinical Skills during Practicum<\/p>\n
Throughout my practicum, I have gained more confidence and improved my skills in several areas such as EKG performance and interpretation, chest X-ray interpretation, and EPPDS screening. However, I still need more practice in urodynamic studies, prostatic exams, and contraceptives administration.<\/p>\n
In terms of my previous goals, I have accomplished the first goal of using effective communication techniques with family and patients to establish a therapeutic relationship necessary for the best patient outcomes. I was able to establish rapport with patients and their families by utilizing active listening and empathy.<\/p>\n
For the second goal, I was able to perform a complete physical assessment and made effective diagnoses in simple cases by the fourth week of my practicum. I have also accomplished the third goal of being able to practice independently by the end of the quarter. With the guidance of my preceptor, I was able to make more complicated diagnoses and apply the nursing process in specific clinical situations.<\/p>\n
However, I was not able to fully accomplish the fourth goal of using pharmacologic knowledge to establish treatment for patients based on the most updated guidelines by the week 10. To continue working on this goal, I plan to continue studying and keeping up-to-date with current pharmacologic knowledge and guidelines as I advance in my nursing career.<\/p>\n
In conclusion, my practicum experience has been invaluable in improving my clinical skills and achieving my goals. I will continue to work on areas that I need more practice and strive to further develop my nursing knowledge and expertise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
