Reflective Journal Week 8

 1. What did you actually learned from the unit.

 I did not know that nurses in certain states, such as California are not able to practice at their full potential and level of training on their own and have to practice under a medical doctor. I learned the actual concepts of the future of nursing, expanding/improving education, more collaboration/leadership, promoting diversity and improving data. 

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

There wasn't a lot of team activities this week, the interview questions and the group discussions. Didn't change my opinion on anything, however I always enjoy reading what my group members write about. 

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

I think I will utilize this in trying to remember that there is hope for the future, I work on the COVID floor and we are overwhelmed right now, this lesson helps me know that nothing stays the same forever and things will change. 

4. You personal feelings about the material covered.

I really liked listening to Dr. Rosa Maria Gonzales-Guardo's YouTube videos of the conference she spoke at, I enjoyed her point of view and the vision she has for the future of nursing. I really think the barrier between nursing practice and patient care needs to be worked on, there are many nights at work I feel as though I don't provide the care I expect of myself because I have too many patients and things have to get done.

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...
