A clinical exemplar is a story that describes a nursing experience that shows some form of professional growth. This purpose of this assignment is to provide an example in which we have found personal growth in our nursing skills as nursing students throughout the course of our clinical experiences. Below is an example of an exemplar that I have written about my preceptorship clinical.
Reflecting on my usage of ATI, I have noticed great changes in the amount of confidence that I have in regard to using the software and appropriately providing remediations for myself. Although my average grades have not changed, my timing for answering questions and creating remediations has lowered immensely. This tells me that I am gaining more confidence with my critical thinking skill set. I am also able to write down my ATI remediations within the course of one sitting….
I intend to take my nursing license exam in the state of Massachusetts. This is not a Nurse Licensure Comact State. The application can be submitted online via their state nursing website. Both a certificate of graduation and an official transcript is required by the state in order to apply for a license. From the application form, it appears that we do need to fill out a child protective services background check request form. However, it does not mention a…
If I were to be assigned to this couple in a real-world situation, I would happily take on the case and work with the couple to give them the best experience possible while in my care. Although this is not your typical type of birthing experience, it still is a real experience for this couple so I would not want them to feel like an outcast based on their difference in pregnancy compared to our typical population. I am all…
Each of the statements listed above talk about different aspects of the patient based on the nurse’s point of view. However, they all share one common theme of racist commentary. It is very inappropriate that the nurse spent an entire shift with their patient and did not put any effort into learning how to pronounce the patients name, as well as what they would like to go by. If the nurse continues pronouncing the name wrong, or does not address…
Four years of my nursing education is finally coming to a close as I enter my final semester of undergraduate learning. During the final phases of education, it is important for us as students to place a large focus on how we should be preparing for our full transition into the career field of nursing. This post is dedicated towards the planning phase of preparing for post-education preparation. As I near the end of my nursing education, I am most…

Many patients state that they have struggles with sleeping in healthcare facilities. There are high levels of stress and anxiety present along with the constant disruptions that can occur throughout the night. Patients are not getting enough sleep in healthcare, and that can affect their health and healing properties. This project was designed to research ways in which sleep…
During the course of the pandemic, I kept in touch virtually with my grandmother who lives on her own. She is physically capable of taking care of herself, but the pandemic increased her senses of loneliness and fear being on her own. My grandmother is a very social person, who plays a large role in our community as a music director and supporter of her local church. She has many connections with other adults similar to her in age that…
