ESSAY
Describe an experience from a previous professional placement
My previous placement was in stroke ward. I was dealing with patients who have recently
suffered from heart stroke. At first I was really nervous as the patients seem tired and they were
also having difficulty to breathe. I became anxious and stressed about how to handle patients
suffering from cardio-vascular problem. After this my senior helped me in dealing with service
user who suffered from stroke. I provided the patients with evidence based interventions. Here I
asked to arrange for multi-disciplinary team so that need and wants of patient in stroke ward can
be analysed quickly. This has assisted me in enhancing health outcome of patients. My
workplace experience at stroke ward can have been better if I was more confident and also if I
have more knowledge related of professional standards provided and given for the registered
nurse. I also made use of effective communication skills so that better relationship can be
developed with patient, by this I was been able to analyse patients’ needs and wants. I was also
being involved in taking holistic care of patient. I have well prepared by documents so that
during the time of discharge patients face no issue. I have made sure that while treating patients,
I keep my personal and professional life separated. I was being involved in making sure that
cultural aspects and dignity of patients was been maintained.
