Professional Practice

Pursue practice excellence, lifelong learning, and professional engagement.

Reflection:

Now that I am at the end of the nursing program I understand the importance of practicing excellence, continuing lifelong learning, and professional engagement. In my previous clinicals I have demonstrated critical thinking and obtaining news skills that enhanced my nursing practice. My preceptors and clinical instructors have expressed their gratitude for professional engagement, and I have built many professional relationships. I will continue to network amongst different staff members and future coworkers while continuing to grow in my nursing practice.

Evidence (NURS 499):

Although my preceptorship was unfortunately cut short due to the pandemic of COVID-19, I was still able to engage in professional practice with my nursing facility. Throughout my experience, I was able to meet the nursing program objectives and set future goals. I was able to interact with multiple members of the care team including unit manager, unit educator, doctors, NAC, and case managers. When interacting with the care team, I was able to establish rapport and communication skills. I was able to assess my academic level and work with my preceptor on setting obtainable goals. I will continue to pursue excellent practice by reflecting on my growth and needs of development as a professional nurse.

Liberal Arts:

In 2016, I received my license to practice as a nursing assistant in the state of Washington. Through this class I have learned many beneficial skills to practice excellent care. This was the first step for me to start practicing lifelong care. Before we could attend clinical we needed to complete a set of hours in the lab which helps ensure a safe environment for the patients. We also learned how to engage with our patients and staff in a professional manner by providing therapeutic and effective communication.
