Reflective Journal Week 2

 .

1. What did you actually learned from the unit.

I think it is important to remember to think critically, be open minded and self aware. Nursing is a journey of continuous learning, there is ALWAYS something to learn no matter how long you have been a nurse. 

2. Discuss your feelings/experiences from the team activities? Did it change your opinion on the subject? If so, how? If not, why?

I think online team activities are hard to accomplish, especially now that the majority of us are working, our schedules are different..etc and so on. My team and I seemed to agree on all of the material that we presented so no, my opinion did not change. 

3. How you will utilize the information learned in your nursing practice.

As I said in question one, there is always something to learn, the information and science based evidence will continue to change and advance as time passes whether we want it to or not. Being open to these changes and new information is so important! What an exciting time to be in the field of medicine, especially because of how much it could potentially change during my career. 

4. You personal feelings about the material covered.

Refer to number 3. I really enjoyed this material and I think it is so important in the nursing field.

Leadership Characteristics

  1.    Leadership requires personal mastery   – Nurses demonstrate leadership when they show competence and mastery in the tasks they perform. Nurses are deemed competent by means of a license to practice nursing (NLN 2010). 2.   Leadership is about values  – A leader has to have values, those they are leading follow these values  and learn from their leaders.  3.    Leadership is about service  – Not only are you serving patients, you are serving as a go to for your team of employees.  4.    Leadership is about people and relationships  – If you don't have a good relationship with your peers, you team, the people around you, your workplace will be miserable. If the charge nurse for the shift doesn't have a good relationship with his/her peers, the team will not function well and has potential to impact patient care.  5.     Leadership is contextual  – relating what you're doing in ...

Personality Test

     a. The results of the test The result of the test for me was 'Steady'.       b. Was this a revelation/ new knowledge about yourself? I actually agree with the test and I felt as though it did explain my personality fairly closely.        c. How will this effect your leadership style? I don't think it will affect it, I am pretty easy going and still an important and necessary part of a team in order for the team to function well.       d. What will you do with the knowledge this test gives you? Not a whole lot, I found it interesting and pretty closely correct but I don't think I will do much with it, it is what it is and I am who I am.

Firing-Discipline Interview

    Have you ever had to fire an employee? (Kate) Yes, I have, multiple times.   What is the warning process you go through before terminating an employee? (Kate) Verbal waring, a performance review, a written warning and then a termination. What are some examples of situations that have warranted disciplining an employee? (Kate) Consistently being late for work, leaving the jobsite before they were supposed to. Stealing supplies/equipment. What are some examples of reasons why you most commonly fire people? (Megan)  Pretty much the same as I just said, haha. And also lack of performance is a big one. How many chances do you give your employees to fix behaviors before terminating them? (Megan)  Well because this is a privately owned business, I can be a little more lenient which is nice because it sucks to fire people. I don’t have a set number of chances; it is usually a case by case type of a situat...
