RENDON LEARNING FEEDBACK DIARY

BSN 1-A

Medicine administration is a common but significant therapeutic technique. This same method
in which a medicine is provided will, to some part, decide is not whether the patient obtains
any medical benefit and whether or not they experience any side effects from their
medications. April 30, 2022 is the day where we are doing medical administration and it is
nerve-wracking for myself because this is the first time, I’m going to inject someone. I’m a
first student that will ready to learn on how my nursing skills will apply to this return
demonstration.

In order to begin the demonstration, I must evaluate our topic about the overview of medical
administration, comprehend the learning goals, and grasp that doing this kind of techniques
makes beneficial for myself in the future. I awoke at 4 a.m. to have more time to prepare for
what I would need in our later return demonstration. Considering our call time is 10:45 a.m., I
have hours to practice the topic's return demonstration. It took me around 2 hours to go over
all of the things on my checklist. I've already started preparing the items I'll need before I
leave. My backpack was so huge that it wouldn't accommodate the ones I was intending to
use, so I just took another bag. We were all scared to execute this because it was the first
time, we would demonstrate this in front of our clinical instructors.

Throughout class, our clinical instructor provide us with a brief overview of how we will
conduct the procedure correctly and why it is required. They went over each technique so
that we could understand everything later. The first would be safe medication administration,
which entails properly verifying the MAR and applying the Ten Rights of Medicine
Administration for each medication three times. Second, release the medications from the
ampule and vial. My Clinical Instructor showed us how to properly puncture our ampules and
insert the syringe inside of them. It is difficult for me because each step must be completed
perfectly. It was one of the procedures one which I did struggle with that because it gets
difficult when I put the needle of my syringe in the ampule and withdraw medication despite
the fact that there have been bubbles and air remaining in the syringe as I need to perform
again, but thanks to my clinical instructor, He helped me withdraw medication. I used to only
watch it on social media videos, but now I'm doing it, which is quite pleasant. Following the
first and second procedures, we go to the intradermal and intramuscular injection, which is
the most exciting but also the most difficult process in this return demonstration since we
must properly enter the syringe into the specific portion of our partners' body. Furthermore,
I'm pleased since I used to see it exclusively at immunization sites and observed it with the
nurses; now, I'm doing it, which is one of my aims. I'm convinced that this concept is difficult
because every element is vital.

Teaching medical administration is a huge help and very relevant today for the reason that it
is significant to our situation today which is the pandemic. There are many vaccinations sites
and with the huge number of people who are going to vaccinated, and it is not enough for our
frontliners to vaccinate everyone. So, this return demonstration would be a huge help to
them if we had knowledge about it and volunteered to help them to vaccinate people and it
will be less time and hassle for them.

It was a great opportunity to meet my clinical instructor and our instructor for this subject
who are kind, teach us very well from the beginning of our return demonstration way back
February until the last day of return demonstration. So much information I learned from them
that I will take it as a lesson to improve my skills as a student nurse. I will thank them for all
the hard work and effort that they put for this kind of activities and I really appreciated it. It
must have been a tiring yet enjoyable experience, and this process will lead to improved
performance. Besides, I'm relieved that my instructor criticized me for not following the
technique precisely. It will be difficult as well, but it will satisfy the strategies and
procedures that I show in the demonstrations. I think that all these demonstrations will be
essential to being a professional individual, for although I am thankful.
