Summary of strengths:
I do not have many strengths for pediatrics since I rarely treated any patient in the ER. I did work for an ER that some pediatric were brought in and I had the pleasure of splinting a pediatric arm while we called rescue to transport to another facility, and I have used ECG on a pediatric patient as well.
|
Opportunities for growth:
I have so much to learn and grow with this course, I do not feel confident so its like starting nursing school all over again. I am excited but very nervous at the same time.
|
Now, write three to four (3–4) possible goals and objectives for this practicum experience. Ensure that they follow the SMART Strategy, as described in the Learning Resources.
1: Learn pediatric lab values, I will create a template and self-test myself, knowing labs value will allow me to quickly catch any remarkable labs, I will be proficient by the end of the term.
2: Learn pediatric vital signs, I will create a template and self-test myself, knowing labs value will allow me to quickly catch any remarkable labs, I will be proficient by the end of the term.
3: Learn proper communication skills with adolescents, I will review best practices for communication with adolescents, I will be comfortable by the end of the term.
