Reflective Journal week 10

 1. What did you actually learned from the unit.

At first I was like. "really, watching a show about mice and some small dudes in a bachelors program, c'mon now", but after I watched it, I can see the importance of it. I think change is hard for most humans, I think it happens at a time when we least expect it, making it even harder to adapt!! I am not so sure I learned anything new, however, it was a great reminder for me...change is constant and how we react to that change is what makes or break us.   

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

I don't believe we had a team activity this week which was a nice break to be honest, a great CHANGE if you will :). 

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

I can not even begin to explain in words the change my unit has seen as we are the designated med/surg covid unit. We have seen SO MUCH CHANGE, change in policy, change in how we treat patients, change in how many admits we take, change in protocols, it literally has been a roller coaster ride. I was thankful for this weeks lesson as I needed a reminder that change is going to happen and the only thing I can control is the way I react to said change. 

4. You personal feelings about the material covered.

I feel as though I expressed my feelings in the above questions, but I can sum it all up by saying the only change we can control is how we react to situations. Change is inevitable, my stepdad always used to say that everything is going to change and the only thing you can count on not changing is paying taxes and death. As direct and morbid as that sounds, he is right.

Week Three ( Late Submission)

1.  What did you actually learned from the unit. To be honest, what I actually learned is to never get behind on my schoolwork again and turn things in on time!! I struggled this last week and I am not usually one to not turn in my assignments on time, I don't like it.  2. Discuss your feelings/experiences from the team activities? Did it change your opinion on the subject? If so, how? If not, why? The team activity was a learning expereince, we did ours incorrectly on the first submission but got it all squared away the second time.  3. How you will utilize the information learned in your  nursing practice. More interview questions to learn from.  4. You personal feelings about the material covered. Refer to number one, I struggled this particular week so I didn't really learn a whole lot unfortunately, other than I hate being late, turning in late assignments and don't ever want to put myself in this position again.

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...

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...
