Recommended: Cultural diversity in patient care

It was this event that made me realize that being a nurse would be a great career for me. My sense of empathy and quiet leadership made me realize that I want to become a nurse to help other people that may be going through the same situation as the man. My bilingual ability will help any potential Chinese patients. In a country considered to be the melting pot of the world, not everyone is going to be able to communicate in English. I want to bridge the ethnic divide between nurses and patients to make everyone’s experience at the hospital as pleasant as can be. The idea of being stuck in a hospital with no one to talk to because they don’t understand you does not please me. I feel the need to help those that are of different cultural backgrounds

Some nurses lose that focus after a while, but I hope to maintain it throughout my career and treat my patients with the best care I can provide. Viewing this video really impacted my perception of nursing because it enforced in me what it means to be a nurse. A nurse is so much more than people believe it to be. You have to treat the patient physically, but you also have to be their advocate, and for the time being, their friend. You have to be there for them mentally and emotionally and in order for you to treat patients as best as you can, you have to put yourself in their shoes and realize they are not just something you have to fix, but they are real, living and breathing people.

  • Nursing Scholarship Essay

    Scholarship is a concept that can mean many different things to many different people. As nursing students, scholarship is a concept that we began developing before we started our formal nursing education, will continue to hone during nursing school, and will utilize every day as professional nurses. Scholarship is not something that comes from a singular source, but rather something that is the product of many different experiences, ideas, and types of knowledge. For nurses, it is the synthesis of knowledge from liberal education, knowledge from a variety of disciplines, and the integration of ways of knowing and thinking in nursing that promote scholarship, which in turn leads to the promotion of safe, quality patient care.

    While routinely preparing the patient for his procedure, which involves placing multiple ECG leads and cardiac mapping patches, this nurse noticed the patient looking very apprehensive. This nurse stopped preparations and asked the patient if he was okay and if he had any questions. His eyes became a bit teary. This nurse reached for his hand, which he squeezed, gratefully. An explanation ensued regarding the purpose of each piece of equipment in the room, the placement of each patch and the purpose of the same, and why so much equipment was needed. At this point, the patient squeezed this nurses hand and related that he had just needed that moment to connect with someone. He was having an anxiety attack and just did not know how to let anyone know. After a quick squeeze, preparations resumed, and the procedure started. Later in the day, the patients’ wife stopped this nurse to let her know how much she helped her husband calm his fears before the procedure. Being present for the patient does make a

    However, the client hated hospitals because that was where there wife had passed away. He took carefully to the nurses who were caring for him. He knew judgment when he saw it. The nurses that care for him during his stay were compassionate and concerned about how he would care for himself when it left. This surprised the patient. The nurse caring for the patient recognized other health problems the patient had, and took the extra time to address them before he left. The patient knew the nurse stayed past her shift. This situation goes to show that in order for nurses to have caring they need to leave all judgement behind. They are not there to judge the patients they are there to treat them. Patient notice things and nurses may not realize. They notice when they take the extra time to care for them or just chat with them. In this situation the patient realized that the nurse could have just treated the injury and let the patient leave. However, the staff did not do that. The nurse looked beyond the patient and saw a person who needed help. This is what caring and compassion is in nursing, looking beyond the patient and seeing a person (Chambers and Ryder 2016).
