Nurses Resilience Simulation 2
Description
In this paper I will share with you the exhilarating experience at the practice based setting for
resilience. In the workshop I was taking care of an older person who was admitted with acute on
chronic exacerbation of COPD, during my shift. I had been asked to obtain a set of vital signs.
The setup was that of an acute care general medical ward. Here, my patient was expecting
dynamic but short term treatment of his condition. The patient was given customized, holistic
and timely access to medical attention. The process was extensively patient-centred in harmony
with the nursing clinical handover.
Feelings
Providing care for the patient was met with difficult condition; the difficulty of caring, work
pressure and the demanding encounter to perform person centered care. It was challenging to
sense and understand the patient’s emotion and body expressions. There are moments I met
painful emotions of recognizing frustration and fatigue when the patient seem vexed while I was
performing the vital signs on him. I imagined the experience registered nurses undergo through
when they provide care for the patients with acute condition. Looking back into the immersive
simulation experience, I think there are moments when nurses feel threatened and vulnerable due
to the unpredictable nature of acute illnesses.
Evaluation
There was clear established clinical handover which was fundamental in improving safety and
continued quality of the patient’s experience. Clinical handover (encircled according to ISBAR)
was key in the process of establishing effective communication (Reyes, Andrusyszyn,
Iwasiw, Forchuk, & Babenko-Mould, 2015). I think the workshop objective was clear and
well defined, we were given specific scenario and activities to be conducted and immediate
