The evidence I decided to demonstrate this program outcome are: photos of my D&C case, my organization (Daily Dose), and my collaboration with the medical student during post-op monitoring. The hospital is composed of many teams of different professions. During the D&C surgery, there was an Ob-gyne and her medical students, an anesthesiologist, nurses, nurse aids, and student nurses alongside their CI. So you can imagine a small room packed with so many people. In order for the minor case to proceed well, we must all work together effectively and efficiently. While I handed out the instruments to the Ob-gyne, the medical students informed her of the patient's information. My clinical instructor was then in charge of setting up the instruments and giving instruments that weren't on the sterile table. My CI also guided me as the procedure went on. And as we did our roles, so did the other team members. Without collaboration, we might be unable to do the procedure correctly and safely. There would be times where I would feel "natataranta" because I feel pressured. Additionally, I sometimes forget the names of the instruments. During post-op, I also experienced monitoring the vital signs of the patient alongside the medical student. We were friendly with each other and they even gave me advice on how to improve as a student nurse both in the wards and in the OR. If I didn't communicate with them first, we might not be able to have that conversation. Communicating with them also allowed the both of us to be on the same page regarding the patient's status. My plan for improvement is to memorize the instruments and be better at anticipating the doctor's needs. I also want to improve my communication skills with other healthcare members in the hospital by being more open-minded and polite. Lastly, as for my organization, I work with students from different courses of SONAHBS to create content for Daily Dose. I have to be on excellent terms with everyone for things to go smoothly. Communication is also necessary because we mostly talk through messenger due to our conflicting schedules. If we couldn't communicate properly, we might be unable to create or post content on our Facebook page. Overall, communication whether it be in my organization or in the hospital, is vital to keeping things going. It prevents errors in the field and creates a better atmosphere for everyone.
