When working with the PRCC, I sat in on support groups, substance use disorder meetings, yoga, and meditation activities, as well as helping the PRCC decorate for Halloween. While sitting through these meetings, I realized that every person…

Shannon Olsen Professor Goran  Integrating Experience III 12 October 2023 Needle Exchange  I had prior knowledge of the Needle Exchange Program (NEP) before experiencing the class discussion and presentation on the program in class this week in Integrating Experience III.

The presentation has changed my pre-existing beliefs on how big…

Shannon Olsen Professor Goran Integrating Experience III 19 October 2023 Let’s Talk Medications I attended the “Let’s Talk Medications!” online event. I chose this event because pharmacology interests me and I feel like any updated information on medications, or new insights on medications will help me provide better care for my future patients. This event helped me build on my prior knowledge of medications and the importance of medication reconciliation. The number of adults taking more than 5 medications is…

Being able to constantly monitor patients and do healthcare visits/checks online can save lives, time, and money.  I believe telemedicine has a great influence on the profession of nursing. Telemedicine can be helpful to nurses by…

 I have learned an immense amount of knowledge throughout my mental health clinical experience. My group and I were presented with many challenges but also faced with our own personal life experiences. When addressing each patient, there was an awkward pause before the conversation began because I felt that this was an experience that none of us were used to yet in our nursing careers. After the first two patients that my group and I interviewed, I felt as though…

            I have assumptions about the nurse’s role in ethics regarding evidence implementation and generation.

Ethics are basically a set of moral principles and can differ among…

Although cute nursing scrubs and taking care of infants/babies makes nursing seem like the perfect job, nurses also have to be hard-working and determined individuals in order to be successful in their careers. Nurses see the patient more than any other health care worker in the hospital, and they take on an immense amount of respomsibility. As a nursing student you must…
