Student Reflection (Thoroughly answer all questions)
How has this clinical rotation helped to define your role as a nurse? Please explain.
I think this rotation has helped define my role as a nurse in that I could actually do all the parts of nursing care. I could care for
multiple patients, give meds, learn/do new care tasks, document in the EHR, and participate in patient education and answer some
of their questions. I really felt like an actual nurse in this rotation and although we didn’t care for as many patients as we may have
in real life, I felt like it was much more realistic.

How did you specifically meet the course goals for this course? Give detail for each. (Reminder, course goals are listed on the
evaluation here in blue).
Goal 1: Analyze the effectiveness of the plan of care: I met this course goal by listening to morning reports on my patients,
gathering information from their charts, and assessing the patients. With this information I was able to pick specific priorities for
each patient and plan shift goals for the day. I was able to perform interventions, such as wound care, and evaluate the patients
response to determine if a change of plan was required.
Goal 2: Seek opportunities that promote professional growth: I thought this rotation offered a lot in this area. I was able to learn a
great amount and participate in/see many new tasks. I tried to see/do as many things as our time allowed. In addition, I feel I was
able to complete all the required tasks and assignments, to include the concept map. The concept map helped solidify the ability to
determine patient priorities and create goals/outcomes for those priorities.
Goal 3: Provide patient-centered care with faculty as resource: I was able to provide more care to my patients in this rotation and
also felt more comfortable talking to them. I was given the opportunity to pass meds during two different clinical days and became
more proficient with the IV pump. I felt I had a much larger understanding of the medications I was giving and why the patient
needed them. I was not afraid to ask questions and felt the staff on the IMC and especially our clinical instructor, were always
willing to explain and show me new things.

What is the biggest take away you have from this clinical rotation and how will that affect your future practice?
The biggest take away from this rotation has been to “be prepared”. I think I will likely have to remind myself of this for some
amount of time before it becomes a habit, but I see how important this is now. If you take a minute to prepare everything you
need before entering the patient’s room, you will end up saving time and providing more effective care to the patient. This habit is
especially important when doing “messy” tasks or painful ones. This will be something I incorporate into all my future nursing
practice.

What are your goals for your next clinical rotation?

My goals for future clinical rotations would include preplanning, being able to do more tasks independently, administering
medications more proficiently, and being able to care for more patients with good documentation.

Faculty Comments/ Student Learning Goals (Goals must be established even if performance is satisfactory. If an item was
identified as N or U, narrative comments are necessary to clarify student performance along with goals to improve performance).
-Throughout the clinical rotation it was apparent that Abbigail possessed a level of maturity and preparedness above her peers.
She was always one of the first students present at the clinical day leading to her getting the first covid patient in the clinical group.
Having experience in an outpatient office, she also displayed strong communications skills, showing no hesitation in
communicating with the staff on the unit to gather new information or help take care of a patient. There were several nuanced
observations she was able to pick up on that students of lesser experience would have been oblivious too. In the nitty gritty of
patient care, she as many other students stated a lack of confidence at the beginning of clinicals. Over the course of the 6 weeks
clinical, she consistently improved her abilities in the physical manipulation of patients to perform interventions, as well as her
sequencing and clustering of cares to finish in a timely manner. During her two days of medication administration, she
demonstrated competence and safety with all medications through various routes of administration. The question is not whether

she will be a safe and effective nurse upon graduation, but more so where she decides to take her talents and abilities to
strengthen the unit.
