Program Outcomes: Apply the nursing process in the provision of direct and indirect care of individuals, families and communities in a variety of settings and across diverse populations.
In clinical at Orchard Park for Nursing 220, I helped out with several different patients. I can remember one specific woman who was an 80yo morbidly obese, COPD, with diabetes patient. She had a private room and lots of family as evidenced by the pictures, cards, and drawings all over her walls. She was mildly depressed but very funny. One day she asked me if I would shave her face. Naturally, I did and apparently I did such a good job she asked me the next day to shave her legs. I did that as well and the difference it made in her attitude and demeanor was amazing!
We have spent a great amount of time in Nursing 260 learning the Nursing Process. In Nursing 270 we were required to do a complete health history and physical exam write up on our lab partner. The nursing process along with Gordon's Functional Health Patterns were instrumental in the completion of my paper.
I expect to master the program outcomes for Nursing Process by the end of my time in Nursing 340, 350 and 440.
