Using Needles and syringes

Administering medicine by injection,

Taking blood samples from patients

Transfussing blood to patients.

I have basic experience on how to use needles and syringes, However, I need to improve on taking blood samples and blood transfusion.

I have not fully understood where blood samples should be taken depending on the type of diagnosis to be conducted on a patient.

I am still a student and will be on placement next fall. I will utilize this opportunity to fully master the use of syringes and needles.  

Nov 2017 to Feb 2018

Non-technical skills

Listening to people, friendly, easily make new friends, and being achievement focused.

Listening to patients,

Talking with relatives and friends of patients and making sure that patients are well taken care of.

As a nursing student, during my placement, I had a chance to associate with patient. This made me gain experience in dealing with patients as they go through their medication and answering any of the questions that they had.

Experience is limited to association with friends and family only. I am yet to finesse my skills so that they can fit a hospital setting.

Jan 2018 to henceforth.

Communication skills

Fluent speaker,

Correct grammar,

Humor in speech,

Good references,

I have talked to patients before as a student nurse on placement.

I am yet to learn how to use formal language. My language is mostly informal. This is not the correct language to use on patients and any other stakeholders that I might associate with as I climb up my career ladder.

I will sign up for toast masters

April 2017 to August 2017
