Recommended: Essay about civic engagement

I had the opportunity to pick several different cites to complete our volunteer assignment. In the course of completing the hours, some of them I did on my own and others where done with few students. As new nurses, it is essential that we interact and be involved within our communities. I believe being involved in one’s community is important and will help make us aware of the different cultures and subcultures that surround us. Not only with this will help give us a better understanding about people in our community, but will also make us more compassionate, knowledgeable, and prepared for differences that we may or may not have experienced during our everyday lives. I had the opportunity volunteer at the Rio Grande Food Project (RGFP)

Second, she constantly sought to learn more and grow professionally by earning more degrees, working as a clinical instructor, and eventually mentoring nurse midwives in Rwanda. Finally, she recognized her own shortcomings but was not afraid to step in and teach when she discovered harmful practices. One of my goals as a nurse is to ensure that my patients, whoever and wherever they are, continually receive the best care.

  • The American Nurses Association

    1115 Words  | 3 Pages

    The American Nurses Association (ANA) developed a foundation for which all nurses are expected to perform their basic duties in order to meet the needs of the society we serve. The ANA “has long been instrumental in the development of three foundational documents for professional nursing; its code of ethics, its scope and standards of practice, ands statement of social policy.” (ANA, 2010, p. 87) The ANA defined nursing as “the protection, promotion, and optimization of health and abilities, prevention of illness and injury, alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human response, and advocacy in the care of individuals, families, communities, and populations” and used to create the scope and standards of nursing practice. (ANA, 2010, p. 1) These “outline the steps that nurses must take to meet client healthcare needs.” () The nursing process, for example, is one of the things I use daily. Other examples include communicating and collaborating with my patient, their families, and my peers, and being a lifelong learner. I continually research new diagnoses, medications, and treatments for my patients. As a nurse of ...

    987 Words  | 2 Pages

He must devote of himself nobly to ensure the well-being of his patient. However, today’s well-recognized nurses are notably different from nurses of the recent past. Service is the core of the nursing profession, and the essential evolution of the vocation reflects the ever-changing needs of the diverse patient population that it serves. As a profession, nursing has evolved progressively, particularly in its modernization throughout the past two centuries with the influence of Florence Nightingale.

  • Personal Reflection Of Nursing: My Life As A Nurse

    951 Words  | 2 Pages

    More specifically, I wanted to increase my understanding concerning the role knowledge and experience have on nursing and the way in which nursing affects the community around it. For example, a day as a nurse is ever changing, from the patient supply to the randomness of patient situations and the choice of choosing how to approach those unfamiliar predicaments. Nursing would challenge me to think on my feet in a moment’s notice and thrive in diverse or educational opportunities, always adapting to new environments. Furthermore, nursing is one of those jobs appreciated by those too weak, defenseless, or sick to help themselves, where personable treatment and human interaction is needed. It takes one thing to be knowledgeable and experienced, but another thing entirely to apply emotions and feelings to treatment, such as intimate contact with others, or attentiveness and sensitivity to their needs. I want to be able to channel both my knowledge and experience on a daily basis and apply it to my career of not only helping others, but also advancing the community in which patients experience medical
