Nursing Self-Expertise Report
Cumulatively, this is a report about my expertise, which integrates with my education, experience, career needs, and skills. Ideally, nursing entails more than learning and experience because it requires some specific personal attributes or perceptions. Nurses do the bulk of the workload in healthcare facilities since they are close and frequent with patients. They provide support to the patients and coordinate with the doctors; needs communication (Gurbutt, 2006). Communication is necessary for making decision and enhancing quality patient care. Despite the intricacies, I have various qualifications, positions, roles, and perceptions to allow me to execute my work properly. Thus, this report acts as a reference point for improving my expertise
With regard to qualifications and experience, I am registered and works as an Assistant Nurse Manager, which I have held in just less than six months. I graduated to a RN after three years and since then; I have served for another three years. Nevertheless, the experience is not all because quality patient care as my priority demands other aspects that enhance proper decision-making.
Notably, proper decision-making and patient care are integral and reinforcing. When I care for patients it feels confusing to prospect for the worse, but I do rely on my experience and multiple information, not policies and procedures, to make care decisions (Hansten & Jackson, 2009). However, I do not have a systematic model of decision-making neither do I rely on emotions. Fortunately, I understand the patients despite the difficulty in making best decisions and identifying the objective reasons for care. Also, I don’t pressure my patients for information or cooperation, but I strongly oppose alteration of standard care measures.
In addition, I am unsure of my gut feelings and oppose the idea of closeness to patients as the best care practice. However, I believe that patient care comes first, and this is the reason I don’t get surprised with emergencies.
In conclusion, personal attributes herald strengths and weaknesses; however, one fact remains that quality care and decisions are dependent on communication. I shall evaluate myself by referring to the report to develop my communication skills. Qualitatively, I look forward to improving my respect, tolerance, courtesy, patience, and understanding when communicating with my patients, their kin (Gurbutt, 2006). Also, such values will help me in coordinating doctors’ responsibility to patients’ demands.
