NurseLogic Module 1: Testing/Remediation
I absolutely learned some new content in this module! I am not very familiar with the names for different patient positions in the bed, and I didn’t know that tomato juice was high in sodium! Both very important things to consider when I have patients of my own. I think this module is also a good test of knowledge based on the content we have and will be learning this semester. It will also be useful for patient application when I start my clinical rotation at Mercy Hospital next week! Some of the content from the first module was familiar to me, as I have a background in pharmacy and phlebotomy. The questions about lab work, medication administration, and side effects were exciting to see.
NurseLogic Module 2: Nursing Concepts
As I stated in the previous reflection, I went into these modules with some clinical knowledge as well as pharmacy knowledge. However, I learned more about the nursing process in this module, especially when there were questions about disease states and patient-specific scenarios I’m not familiar with. Similar to the previous module, there were questions about patient positioning that I struggled with, but will now know for the future! I also learned that a speech pathologist can identify patients at risk of aspiration. I think all of these new concepts will be helpful to supplement my learning in class, as well as in clinical. I am excited to use the new concepts I have learned as well as the pharmacy and phlebotomy knowledge I have to make a positive impact on future patients.
Nice work Evan. I am a bit surprised that the big takeaway in the Testing Module was all clinical in nature, but we all take different information away with us as we learn. You shared what you learned and how you will use it, and that was the assignment. Your background will be an enormous help to you as you move forward!
