Profile
Personal attribute
Throughout my academic journey, I have tried my best to be a reliable student by seeking
advice from my professors. As an ambitious nursing student, I have often used my excellent
communication skills to reach out to students and certainly apply my problem-solving skills to
elaborate challenging tasks in my learning process. Moreover, I have always kept myself on the
toe with other students since I am a fast learner, something that has helped me to grab a lot of
new ideas in both at school and at home. With my ability to manage time effectively, I have
always tried to be punctual in both delivering my assignments and availing myself in class.
Notably, these traits have built a lot of self-confidence and motivation in me such that I have
earned the aspect of trustworthy to both the lecturers and my fellow students (Donnell, 2015).
As a nursing student, it is always an added advantage to be a professional care giver,
something that I have mastered within myself and therefore being a dedicated hospice care
provider. To achieve all my goals, I always try my best to be a committed team player in
everything that I do in regards to my studies and most of all my future profession (Dove & Muir-
Cochrane, 2014). These are some of my personality traits that I hold in high regards as I work
towards being a professional nurse.

Continuing Professional Development
I am a continuing student at the University of Western Sydney pursuing my bachelor
degree in nursing. I have also attained a higher diploma in marketing from Australian Business
College (Fontaine, 2014). My working experience has assisted in leading me to have the ability
to manage time effectively and having the ability to complete the task in a pressured
environment (Andrew, 2015). Having finished my first year and becoming a registered nurse, I
would be beneficial in the process of helping in patient recovery due to traits I have picked up
throughout my studying placement (Black, 2014). In essence, these are the main traits that are
going to separate me from other professions in the field and certainly boost my professionalism.

NURSING ASSIGNMENT 6
Critical Reflection
Throughout my academic journey, I have tried my best to work in various institutions to
increase my learning and working experience. For instance, in the November 2015, I happened
to have worked in Bankstown Hospital as an assistant nurse for two weeks, and I must say I
acquired an array of skills as a nurse student and a future nurse professional. In this light, one of
the skills that I received while learning in that institution include maintaining a somewhat
accurate record of patient care, condition, progress, as well as patients concern. Through working
in the hospital, I was entrusted to monitor vital signs of patients such as blood pressure and
pulses. I remember there was a time I was taught how to well responds to emotional, physical,
and developing needs of patients in the hospital.
Furthermore, I learned how one is supposed to record blood glucose level of a patient as
part of the diagnosis. To achieve this, I had to learn how to obtain information regarding the
medical history of clients, drug history, complaints, as well as allergies. At some point
participated in performing pre and post-operative care while assisting patients with bathing, oral
hygiene, grooming, feeding, as well as elimination. One fascinating experience that remembers
was helping patients to move in and out of beds, baths, wheelchair as well as automobiles since I
could practice the art of helping others in the community. Nonetheless, I as well worked in a
department where I could assist patients to be transferred through ambulation. While a nurse is
expected to have a variety of skills in offering the best-qualified services, all the skills that I
learned assisted me in performing some acts such as clerical duties which includes word
processing, data entry, answering phone calls and filling (Nursing & Council, 2014). I completed
my responsibilities at the hospital by maintaining the overall sanitary resident’s as well as
program rooms, followed safe lifting techniques while holding to the resident lifting instructions.
