What influenced my decision to get into nursing stems from various factors but I think the primary one would be my family. Growing up, I witnessed lots of death and deteriorating health. I felt sad that I had no understanding of how to help. I thought about being a doctor, but I have learned so far in the nursing program that the healthcare provider that spends most of the time with the patient would be the nurse. I. I got into nursing so that I will be able to spend time with my patients, acknowledging their culture, beliefs, preferences, and family. I am also happy that I will be able to understand their diagnosis and promote health by educating them on ways to live a healthier life or provide community resources that they may need to be more comfortable. I think that my future as a nurse will be full of challenges, positive outcomes, and lots of critical thinking. What I have learned a lot about this semester is the importance of ethics in nursing. Nurses are considered to be the most trusted healthcare professionals (Koirala et al., 2022). That means that nurses must uphold professional standards and strongly act upon nursing core values. According to a study, nurses have reported an increase in the level of work intensity due to the continuous heavy workload, significant changes in their roles, the pressure to expand their range of nursing skills, and a higher frequency of working overtime (Duffield et al., 2011) this could affect patient satisfaction and care. By self-reflecting and analyzing my own capabilities, I will do my best to provide the best care for patients as well as advocate for myself if I am on the verge of burnout to prevent a decrease in patient satisfaction. When I transition to clinical practice I will remember that every individual carries a distinctive set of personal traits into a healthcare scenario. These traits, which could include stability, complexity, predictability, resiliency, vulnerability, participation in decision-making and care, and resource availability, cover a vast amount of the spectrum of health and illness (Curley, 1998). I will prepare for my transition by asking relevant questions about the practice and work towards my SMART goals. I will also remember my artifacts and why I chose to get into nursing when I feel like I am having a bad day to remind myself that my actions will affect patient care, as well as my communication with the team.
