While taking the Adaptive ATI there were questions that I felt really confident on and other questions that were a complete guess. I think what went well for me was the questions I felt confident on I did not second guess myself and was able to move on. I think because I did know quite a few questions I was able to complete the ATI within 75 questions. Looking back on the exam and remediating the topics there were some…
Throughout this video there were so many different stories from nurses about experiences that they have had that have left an impact on their lives. As a nursing student who will be entering the work force soon there are still skills that I haven’t mastered yet. I have lost family members and that takes a toll on a person, but I never experienced losing a patient. In the video some nurses explained how they have lost patients and the impact…
I am most excited about finally to be able to be an RN. I am excited to get my first job and finally be able to practice all the things that I have learned. I am a little nervous to be out in the real world and have my first job. I know that I will have a lot of help and support my family, friends, and coworkers. I think that I will celebrate by taking a mini vacation before…
When it comes to disaster nursing a nurse must be prepared both professionally and personally, to take on any responsibility that they may face.

During my clinical experience at UNE, I have encountered many different patients and each one has left an impact on me. One patient that I had taught me about appreciating the small things and how important it is to cherish every moment. This was an older woman who had experienced a stroke and was left unable to speak and could not move the right side of her body. All I knew about this woman was what I had read in…
Before reading and watching the provided resources, my thoughts about death with dignity was that it was a patient’s choice to end their life. This can be a patient’s choice when they feel that they have nothing else that will help improve their life. I feel like this gives the patient more control over the end of their life when they feel that they have lost all control in every other aspect. This allows the patient to live their last…
My initial thoughts about electronic health records in nursing is that it is very useful to have. Having the patient’s records online allows to the nurse or the provider to see all the care and treatment that the patient has received. It can also show the nurse what care/ treatment has worked for patient and what hasn’t worked for the patient. I think that it is a useful tool because it can allow the nurse or provider to be informed…
Trauma can have quite an affect on a patient and the help they will try to seek or not seek at all. If a patient has experienced trauma in their life, it can leave a lasting psychological effect on them. The patient could develop PTSD from the trauma, which could lead to violent outbursts, insomnia, or substance abuse. A patient may also develop depression and anxiety from past or current trauma. A patient may not even know or want to…
