• (d) To complete my 30 hours from my independent component 1, I attended Casa Colina every Saturday and threw November break for 2-3 hours a day. At times I would do rounds, which is I would go to each patient room and see if the need of any assistance. Sometimes I would go to each patient's room and see if the glove compartment is full with each size or do paper work and put incoming admins charts together. Also I watched a documentary on the foundation of nursing.  

INTERPRETIVE 

A film the gives a point of view of nurses across the country about nursing.  

I helped reorganized each nursing binder and threw away old paperwork.

APPLIED

This component helped me understand the foundation of being a nurse because it showed me that communication and interaction with patients is one of the keys in this profession. The film Nurse: If Florence Could See Us Now helped me understand a rare look into the complex, exciting and challenging world of being a nurse. Also volunteering at a hospital helped me understand that nursing is so important because people need to be nurtured and be supported throughout their treatment and stay at the hospital.
