The goal for this week was to increase my knowledge of ACPE standards 311.4 and 311.5 and to integrate this into my daily actives. The purpose of is to have an understanding of the principle of these standards and to demonstrate that understanding as I prepare to request to move to level 2 on the internship program. During this week, there were many opportunities to offer advice along with timely and appropriate critique to my peers and colleges as well. While rounding in the SICU, a group of employees was having a conversation directly outside of the patient room; the volume was such that I could hear the discussion. The conversation was about another patient. There were a family member in the room that I was in and if I heard them the family members did as well. Upon completing the visited I shared my thought …show more content…

When I offer, it is my desire to bring something to the table that will have something of benefit to the entire body. My goal when I address an individual, it is not a personal to them, but it is personal to the subject that was present at the time. ACPE Standard 311.4 says, Risk of offering my proper and timely critique, these elements are demonstrated this week as well as others. My focus for this week was also to force on the relational dynamics of my peer group and the role that my supervisors play in the dynamics in the group setting. The purpose was to consider how I interact with my peers and how the team interacted with each other. It is my opinion that in any there are appointed leaders. Also, the are subleaders that assume some leadership roles with being appointed to any position. For some, this is a natural evolution, and for other, it requires a considerable effort. There is the only real leader of this group that is the supervisor (Dr. C.A. Walker). On a day to day basis, it depends on who is working that day. Everyone in the group has something to offer in their unique

  • Origins of Leadership and Power

    2721 Words  | 6 Pages

    Leadership is an important element in the functioning of group interactions toward an organized goal. Leadership has been defined in many different ways by sociologists and social psychologists alike, numbering too many to discuss here. The most common element found in these definitions is "that leadership involves a process of influence between a leader and followers to attain group, organizational, or societal goals" (Hollander, 1985). In small group interactions, leadership is usually an assigned status, with the "followers" designating, both consciously and subconsciously, someone as a leader. This is a person who, according to the group members, is believed to have those characteristics which are most suited to accomplish the task and objectives of the group (Bales and Slater, 1955). Much of the available early research that I was able to attain focused on leadership and the concept of leadership in terms of political situations. When viewed from a political standpoint, the study of leadership pertains to the analysis of relationships between those who possess power and those who don't possess power (power will be discussed in det...

  • Nursing Communication Essay

    Dr. Ellis, a physician in Duke University’s Medical Center Pediatric Emergency Department, exemplifies excellent listening skills and stresses the importance of communication in healthcare to shadow students. He emphasized, “Your nonverbal communication is important in this field. As you enter a room, introduce yourself and don’t yell; you should treat the patient as if they were your own child or cousin.” Ellis keeps the mood funny and light hearted; as a result, patients trust his judgement. Likewise, Dr. Ellis simplifies all the medical terms –even those words or phrases considered common knowledge such as, IV and ultrasound. Nevertheless, Dr. Ellis is only one of hundreds of thousands of doctors. Even in the midst of Dr. Ellis’ communication awareness, there were several doctors and residents in the Pediatric emergency department that failed to even acknowledge their patients as they entered the hospital

  • Team Definition Essay

    ... a lot of knowledge during the Leadership and Organisation Dynamics. I learn on how we lead from a group to become a team. A group can become a team when all members are sure enough of themselves and their dedication in order to laud another’s skills. I believe that in many circumstances, taking the initiative to provide suggestion or ideas can be effective in every situation, a leadership role has to be played so that a team can be effective. On the other hand, it is important to consider all members’ suggestion or ideas to the team as they will feel a sense of belonging in the team. Throughout the semester, I understand my role and responsibility in a team to perform better in future. I educated how to collaborate and work with others and I am trained to work in groups, interact with people that we don’t know and tolerate them as it can help in my future career.

    According to former American Businessman, Henry Ford, he describes working as a team as, “Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.” When working with a group there will always be struggles and roadblocks that could lead your group to any form of success.

  • Clinical Observation: A Reflection Of My Personal Experience In Nursing

    718 Words  | 2 Pages

    I was then introduced to a patient who was in isolation. Her legs were immovable and were crossed in a very uncomfortable position. I wish I could’ve done something so that her legs could be in a more comfortable position, but all I could do was observe and get her a cup of ice cold water to drink. During this clinical observation, I didn’t get to see much but overall, it was a good experience. It made me realize what it was like to be in a hospital setting and what it meant to be a nurse. Seeing how the patients were still able to smile through all the pain they went through, it made me want to become a nurse even more because I would also like to make my patients happy. If I could do one thing differently during this clinical observation, I wish I didn’t ask my senior nurse about what externships she took and instead, I wished I asked her more questions about the patients in order to gain more information about

  • Social Work Group Analysis

    Particularly, two members within my group began to emerge as leaders due to their knowledge, skills, as well as experience working with our chosen population. Although I always view them as ‘experts’ in this topic, our group became less focused on our goals and more concerned about the ‘power struggle’ between our two leaders, before we could reach any consensus. Essentially, our group had two authoritarians butting heads and trying to take lead throughout the beginning of the group process. Thus, the other members or ‘followers’ contribution, like mine, seem to not matter unless they adhered to either leaders’ opinions without question. According to Stringer (2014), “Leadership… Is defined according to its function of facilitating organizational and operational processes, rather than defining and controlling them” (p. 31). The researcher further states that active participation is the key to encourage and motivate group members to invest their time and energy to shape the quality of the group's production. Therefore, our group needed to find ways for all members to have a chance to participate fully and apply their individual strengths, in order to enhance our group’s

    Working in groups can be a very positive or very negative experience. How a group functions together determines how positive or negative that experience becomes. All go through four stages of development, forming, norming, storming, and performing.. Unfortunately for our group, many of the members experienced some of these stages together and other missed out on that opportunity of original growth. Kirst-Ashman and Hull describe these stages as a pattern of development. This allows the group members to see how they are working together but also allows observers to see what stage the group is stuck on. I had hoped for my group to develop past the first stage of development quickly, however as a whole we couldn’t seem to get over this limbo of being a forming or norming group. Our group was not the best functioning, but working together taught me the important pieces of being a group member as well as working within a group.

  • Christian And Secular Leadership: Christian Vs. Secular Leadership

    1093 Words  | 3 Pages

    Growing up I have always taken on leadership roles. I was always the organizers of group projects and was team captain of my club and high school soccer team for several years. This past experience with leadership roles has lead to me developing several of valuable traits associated with leadership. For example, I have strong communication and problem solving skills, which have helped me in my past leadership positions and will continue to be an asset in the future. Although I have had experience in leadership roles in the past, I learned through this reading that there is room for a considerable amount of growth. One thing that was a valuable lesson for me was that leaders must be followed as well as follow others at times. I have always took control of situations and tried to lead others, but now I realize that sometimes even leaders need to take a back seat and let their followers take some control. I will employ this in the future in the clinical setting to ensure that all of my subordinates or colleagues feel they have control and power over the decisions being made. This is definitely an area I intend to grow in and utilize in the future to enhance my leadership abilities. In addition, another lesson that I will put into practice in the future is building meaningful relationships with my colleagues. As a

  • Reflective Essay: My Experiences In The Medical Field

    During my experiences working in the medical field, I quickly learned that medicine is not just about the intricacies of the body or prescribing medications to fix the body’s shortcomings. There are many more challenges and difficulties that are involved in healthcare that involve many interpersonal skills. This summer I have volunteered with the medical director at Glenaire Retirement Community in Cary, North Carolina. After a few weeks of shadowing, the medical director asked me to see a patient to discuss her primary complaints before he joined me. I went into the patient’s room, introduced myself, and waited for a response. After multiple attempts and no recognition from the patient, the physician came in to join us.

  • Reflection Of Group Reflection

    715 Words  | 2 Pages

    I’m tired, a little stressed and disappointed with some of the group members this week. This has been the most challenging time in group so far. Everything is usually fine, but something is off this week. Although, we have group chats, our group cohesion is off. After, deciding to do the outline one way, we ended up doing it another way. That was cool until individuals brought the confusion. One person thought this way, the other thought that way. It was a mess. Our group dynamics were all over the place. The impact this had on me was very negative. With your help Mrs. Evans, we eventually decided to keep the outline simple. The other group members picked their duties, while mine were assigned to me. It did not bother me that I was assigned duties. Actually, my absence from the meeting helped to decide what I was to do. When it comes to the norming and forming of this group, I find myself at a loss for words. The norming process is off. There is less cohesion than usual; we have not been as effect this week. Also, relationships do not seem to be strengthening. This makes me angry because it affects us all. Unlike the norming stage, the forming stage is pretty solid. All of us are comfortable (in my opinion) giving our opinions, and we understand what is required of us. There is no need to form rules they are already in place. In my opinion, some of the members did not follow the rules. I for one broke a rule.
