been mentioned during report, as well as double check with assigned nurse and/or clinical instructor.

Satisfactory Satisfactory
1. 2 Act in a responsible, ethical and accountable manner.

M.D.L. : I understand that as a student nurse I am still accountable for the nursing actions I have done towards a patient. I know that I have to always

act in a responsible and professional manner in the nursing setting. During medication administration, it is my responsibility as a nurse to research

information regarding the drug, when it is to be administered, whom it should be administered to, indications, contraindications, risks to clients, and

expected outcomes. (College of Nurses Ontario, 2014)

Satisfactory Satisfactory
1. 3 Determine how the three factor and practice decision-making frameworks influence client care.

M.D.L. : During nursing care, my patient was experiencing a fever, low blood pressure, and was hyperglycemic. My assigned nurse and I

administered her dose of Acetaminophen; however, we still had to find the source of the fever. Therefore, we collaborated with the RN who decided to

get a blood culture. In this situation, the RPN and I were able to relieve the patient of pain and fever symptoms, but incorporated the RN since the

situation became more complex.

a low blood pressure and hypoglycemia, that I had to collaborate with the RN on what steps to take for patient care.

Satisfactory Satisfactory
1. 7 Demonstrate professional behavior by seeking assistance in situations in which there is unsafe,

1. 8 Demonstrate understanding about the role of the nurse within health care.

M.D.L. : I understand that as a student nurse I have to attend to my patients, and give them the best possible care. Although we may be limited to a

Satisfactory Satisfactory
7. 6 Use a theory-based approach and evidence-informed practice.

M.D.L. : I try my best to use a concept care plan to help with specific patient care. For example, one of my patients had little to no mobility on their

right side and required nursing assistance with skin care and bed bathing. Based on those issues, that patient was at risk for developing a pressure

ulcer; however, with proper care such as applying lotion, doing skin assessments, and being aware of the patients skin integrity, the patient was less

likely to be at risk for developing a pressure ulcer. (Jarvis, C., 2014)

Mikkel bases his care on a theory based and evidence informed practice (monitor blood sugars prior to administering insulin, having the
client in an upright position if has a feed infusing via N/G, check N/G placement prior to infusing medications). Mikkel advised the
instructor of areas of learning that he required improvement or wanted experience in. He would research the medications prior to
administering them to improve his professional development. If he heard about a procedure or skill occurring on the unit he would ask to
observe or participate in the skill. He submitted his self reflection and developed concept maps for his clients.

assessments based on the client's medical diagnosis. One of my patient's was experiencing hypertension, so I focused mainly on neurological

assessment and cardiovascular assessment. Based on the information gathered during assessments, I was able to provide the proper nursing care

plan for that patient.

Satisfactory Satisfactory
8. 5 Prioritize effectively.

how to put information gathered through research, assessments and nursing diagnoses to anticipate outcomes and planning care. He
used PPE gear appropriately. He demonstrated professionalism and accountability by coming to clinical on time, in full uniform, when he
was ill he emailed the instructor to advise that he would not be attending clinical.

Student Final Summary with Strategies for Continued Growth

I feel that overall, my nursing skills have greatly improved over the course of the clinical placement. I was able to learn and experience much more
procedures that was not available in my previous clinical. I was also able to be more involved in patient care and have been able to enhance my skills
with teamwork and communication.

Teacher Final Summary with Strategies for Continued Growth

Mikkel has been a pleasure to work with, he is always eager to learn new skills or knowledge to aid with his professional development. I encourage
him to continue researching his medications, diagnoses and practicing the skills he has been taught, to continue working as a team and to reflect on
