ACPE Standards 311: Formal Analysis

The goal for this week was to increase my knowledge of ACPE standards 311.4 and 311.5 and to integrate this into my daily actives. The purpose of is to have an understanding of the principle of these standards and to demonstrate that understanding as I prepare to request to move to level 2 on the internship program.
During this week, there were many opportunities to offer advice along with timely and appropriate critique to my peers and colleges as well. While rounding in the SICU, a group of employees was having a conversation directly outside of the patient room; the volume was such that I could hear the discussion. The conversation was about another patient. There were a family member in the room that I was in and if I heard them the family members did as well. Upon completing the visited I shared my thought

with the charged nurse, she expressed her thanks but was not thankful. It is becoming more of a daily task to share with my peers in the work room; it is almost as if it an assignment. For this reason, I have learned the art of “shouting them out.” I must admit when offering critique there are times it is somewhat gratifying, but it can also be a burden.
In group, it is my goal to be involved in a meaningful fashion.

When I offer, it is my desire to bring something to the table that will have something of benefit to the entire body. My goal when I address an individual, it is not a personal to them, but it is personal to the subject that was present at the time.
ACPE Standard 311.4 says, Risk of offering my proper and timely critique, these elements are demonstrated this week as well as others.
My focus for this week was also to force on the relational dynamics of my peer group and the role that my supervisors play in the dynamics in the group setting. The purpose was to consider how I interact with my peers and how the team interacted with each other. It is my opinion that in any there are appointed leaders. Also, the are subleaders that assume some leadership roles with being appointed to any position. For some, this is a natural evolution, and for other, it requires a considerable effort. There is the only real leader of this group that is the supervisor (Dr. C.A. Walker). On a day to day basis, it depends on who is working that day. Everyone in the group has something to offer in their unique

way.
Within the group, there are some that dedicated to the work that they believe they have received a call to do. Some see this as a means to an end. It provided the finical relief needed at the time. Within the group, there are those who are looking for a free ride and don't believe that need to put forth much effort, because at the end of the program they get some opportunity based on their friendship with others. All who are a part of this has skills that have some value deciding to use them is the point of decision for some.
Being a part of this group has provided and the opportunity to learn and to share in learning. Potisapating in this program has generated a greater self-awareness and has achieved growth through the setting of goals giving more attention to my beliefs, values, emotional intelligence, and relationship dynamics with others. ACPE Standard 311.5 is the focus for this week review.

Reading for the week.
