Code of ethics in the nursing field is fundamental for guidance in the profession. They
provide roles to the nurses on how they should care for the patients, train the patients, provides
with culturally adapted guidance, and also help the nurses to make ethical decisions in their
practice. They also teach nurses that they must provide patients with the quality care they need.
Code of ethics NWS has four values which include collaboration, this implies that every
registered nurse should collaborate with everything in the health care, the second one is openness
which means that any registered nurse should be transparent, the third one is respected, and this
implies it is the duty of registered nurse to respect everybody and the authorities and the fourth
one is empowerment which means that it is the duty of the nurses to empower patients by
training and supporting them. For the legal requirement as a registered nurse, it implies that any
nurse should not be involved in any criminal offense because it will restrict registration (Griffith
and Tengnah, 2017 p.22).

As a registered nurse, I have demonstrated a high level of interpersonal communication
skills. In this, I have applied the non-verbal skills when serving my clients. This was achieved by
making eye contact and also controlling the tone of my voice when we were communicating.
Moreover, I actively listened to my clients when they are explaining how they are feeling. In
this, I made sure had leaned forward while nodding when the patient was speaking (Sellman, and
Snelling, 2016 p 320). Also, in this, I believe I am the best in making personal relationships in

understand.

As a registered nurse, I have acquired clinical knowledge and problem-solving
techniques. On the clinical placement, I have taken a number of the clinical simulations, and in
this scenario, I had to think critically on how I can manage the patients. Moreover, when treating
various people, I have been involved in a series of the decision-making process. On my practice
before being employed, I attended a situation of dressing a surgical wound that has never done
before; this taught me that nurses must make decisions at all time. In this, I was to think critically
on what I should do and eventually I came out with a substantial answer in mind. In this, their
many instances have made decisions, and in this sector, I can assure you that I am much
equipped with the skills (Masters, 2018 p. 59).

As a registered nurse, I can work within a team. First, in these, I can reflect with the
scenario when I was in 2nd year, we had a topic about working as a team. The topic discussed on
how to work as a team and also the benefits of working as a team. In these in the clinical setting
have ensured that they have created a good relationship with all the nurses and even the staff. In
these, I relate with a nutritionist and all other specialists so that I can ensure that I am well
equipped. Moreover, I guarantee that I have communicated with members of my team in case of
any duty so that to avoid inconveniences. Also, to be a good team player, I ensure that I always
