Demonstrated safe
and ethical clinical
practice at the level
appropriate for a
year one nursing
student
Helped with the cart at mealtime and bedtime, and I have been able to
learn the preferences of different residents such as who prefers coffee as
opposed to tea and where they like their bedtime snack to be put if they
are already asleep.
Throughout the term I have been able to talk to many residents and find
out their different views on long-term care. I was surprised to learn that
many residents enjoy living in long-term care and have done a wonderful
job of transitioning into long-term care by making friends and going to
different activities.
I have also noticed that some residents do not enjoy living in long-term
care and often complain about how their family put them into long-term
care and how they hate living their.
When I performed skills I used proper technique to ensure not only my
own safety but also my residents safety.
I asked for help from peers, my instructor or support staff when I was
unsure how to perform a task or I felt I was unable to perform the task
safely on my own.
I worked hard to respond fast to the tasks that my resident asked me to do
such as toileting in order to accommodate their needs of daily living.
I ensured that I gave my resident the respect and dignity they deserved by
doing things such as closing the door when they were using the
washroom.
I familiarized myself with my residents care plans to perform clientcentered care and to ensure the safety of the residents such as putting fall
mats down when they go to bed.
I made sure I was aware of my own safety by making sure I raised the bed
to my level when I performed care on residents so I do not injure myself.
When using lifts on residents I made sure that I used proper technique and
communicated the reason for assistance and asked for permission before
using the lifts.
I respect my clients wishes because I am aware that long-term care is her
home.

Melissa was a pleasure to teach this semester. Melissa exhibited a professional behaviour each week by arriving to clinical on time,
dressed in a professional manner and incorporating constructive feedback into her practice. Melissa demonstrated she was able to
collect and analyze client related information by utilizing her assessment skills, gathering and incorporating information from the
residents, their families, staff at the long term care facility and the charts. By the end of the semester Melissa was able to plan her
client care appropriately by determining priorities of care by considering the needs of each resident and the necessary interventions.
Melissa demonstrated to provide great client centered care in a safe and efficient manner by being adaptable, developing partnerships
with the residents and creating safe environments for both herself and the resident she was working with. Melissa communicates with
the residents and their families/visitors, her peers, the health care workers and her instructor by listening attentively, providing insight
and providing clear and relevant information Melissa should continue to recognize, communicate and evolve her strengths and
weaknesses in practice in order to continue to further her competence throughout future clinical placements and her career.
