Describe the case that defined you as a nurse.
-
- What happened, how were you involved? (My very first year as a nurse, I was working in a long term care facility where I watched one resident passing away. She had suffered a heart attack that day but the symptoms were not recognized in a timely manner. This old lady had just complained of abdominal discomfort, which turned into respiratory distress in a matter of hours. She was taken to the hospital but died on the way). This is my story, please build on it and write the paper. Thank you!
- How does this case still affect you and your practice? It still haunts me that none of the nurses on the shift was able to recognize her symptoms early enough to save her life, but I had used this case as a guiding light through my 15 years of practice as a nurse now.
- What steps have you taken to overcome the stress of this event? (Remember to protect patient privacy).
- Explain the importance of debriefings.
- If a debriding would happen in your workplace who would be involved, what would be discussed, who would lead the debriefing, where would it take place?
