LEADERSHIP AND LEARNING SKILLS1IntroductionThe essay intends to develop an effective action plan that is supported with evidencedbased literature in order to deal with the concerns that took place for my personal development asa learner and leader (Bish, Kenny & Nay, 2015). Considering the same, I will discuss clearstrategies for all leadership challenges faced by me as a student nurse. Revised Personal ReflectionI find the story of “Saving Patients from Dr Death” by Toni Hoffman quite compelling asI can relate to it. Being a nursing student, I see the significance of belief, assumption and valuesthat has been addressed in the particular story. Considering my future profession, saving livesand taking intensive care is my primary objective while doing it with integrity and taking pride inthe same (Cheng et al., 2016). The code of conduct of a nurse is admirable along with those whoare associated it such as the medical practitioners. As far as our story is concerned, the writer haspointed out the competence as well as behavior of Dr. Pater portrayed as Dr. Death, who isalleged of sexually harassing the female staff. I would also appreciate Toni for reporting Dr.Patel within the first five weeks of his practice considering the nature of wound and painaccompanied that the patients would suffer after having undergone his operations. However, theadministration opposed him and he was pressurized to take his complaint back but still Tonicontinued his course and was able to save several lives after involving government in the matter(Cope & Murray, 2017).The story highlighted some of the serious issues which I find to be of utmost significanceconsidering my career prospects as a nurse. The primary issue is with the professionalism which

Next comes the ill practice of medicine which is out of healthcenter’s structure such as the operations which is supposed to be conducted in some advancedmedical institutions should not be carried out in a rural medical hospital. The third issue arisesconcerning the competence of the doctor whose subject is surgery (Démeh & Rosengren, 2015).It shadows the ethical value of such a noble profession. The fourth issue concerns thecommunication gap amongst the staff which includes the criticizing Dr. Patel’s incompetenceamong each-other without raising voices against him. Moreover, the biasness was one of thebiggest failures of the administration.Encountering the same issue during the clinical practice, my response will be influencedby my learning style and the way I lead myself. Being a person of strong ethics and conduct, if Iface any such situation, I would inspect as well as determine the exact cause of wound sufferedby a patient who are being operated. I would try to expose the doctor responsible for the sameafter verifying the issue (Solà et al., 2016). If I face sexual harassment, an immediate action is onthe way for the accused as I will report it to the relevant authorities. If I ever come across anyfailed case of surgeries conducted by some doctor, then I will conduct a thorough investigation toascertain the certifications and qualifications of the doctor as well as his subjects. If I findanything uncertain, then informing the appropriate authorities will be my first responsibility.However, if I find that the response from such authorities are not as expected then informing theMinistry of Health will be my prior mission given my ethics and conduct as a nurse (Liang et al.2016).
