Learning Insights: The different concepts introduced to me in NCM 106 includes: the concepts
regarding critical care. These concepts are important to be discussed in class so that we will be
able to relate it to the area especially when having duty at the medical ward and even at the
ICU. We must establish in depth knowledge and understanding about the concepts and
establish full rapport and cooperation of the patient so that at the end of the day we will be
able to provide holistic care.

Hindering Factors: Factors that may hinder me in doing my part in the subject is when I do not
fully understand the concepts as well as not being able to follow the flow of discussion
especially when the pacing is too fast. But never the less even if there are a lot of hindering
factors present I must take the responsibility to manage my time as well as trying my best to
cope up with the situations as well as trying to read in advance especially the topics that are
difficult to understand.

Facilitating factors: A well-organized discussion will help me understand concepts better. As

well as a well-rested mind would also help me analyze whatever concepts that are being
introduced at the same time when there are less requirements. Also, when the teacher is
approachable at times when questions and clarifications are being asked regarding the topic.

Suggestions: I believe that the students must be given more time to do requirements so that
the pressure would be lesser and so would have more time to prepare. It is also wise that we
are given enough rest so that we do not get so overloaded with all the concepts that were
given.

My mind was well refreshed with our Competency Appraisal subject. I have seen
where and what subject would I have to review again and how much I have retained
for the past 3 years I’ve been studying nursing. I enjoyed a lot of concepts regarding
OB and Pediatrics. I have remembered a lot of what I have studied and some of what
I have forgotten was lectured again which helped me in the exams and quizzes our
instructors gave. It also helped me understand some of the concepts I was
questionable, or I had a hard time understanding about before especially
community nursing. Though, our CA in community nursing helped me in our duty in
the community. I believe that these concepts will be a great help especially when
we are about to take the Board exams next year. This is a great preparation since a
lot of concepts are still needed to be remembered and enhanced.

instructor, he gave us advices that we were able to use when we become a leader
in our group or when we decide on something regarding on our group works, tasks
to be done, or household chores during the community. It also helped me
understand how the nursing system works in the hospital, how schedules were
made, to whom to report an incident that occurred, what values should we have
when we become leaders, and how to support or assist our staffs. Lastly I learned
how I can manage my time effectively.

of their actions and how they could save their selves when they are done wrong
during their duties. I also got to know the laws that governs the nursing profession
and how it could maintain the ethical values of the nurses, the benefits of being a
nurse, and the requirements to be a nurse. Our Nursing Jurisprudence helped me
understand how we should always maintain our ethical values for our patients and
for ourselves. As well as how we can be effective patient advocates.

In our Palliative Care subject, I got to see another side of the nursing care, I got to
see how challenging it could be for the patient and family to accept death. I got to
also see the challenges imposed to a palliative nurse when he or she gets to care for
a patient who is terminally ill. It was hard for me to sink in the idea of death every
time it is said or lectured in this subject, it makes me reflect to all of my actions
towards my parents and my grandmothers. This subject helped me realize that I
should be giving all of what I got for my parents before it is too late. It helped me in
the clinical duties especially in palliative ward, where I got to take care of patients
who was not responding well to her treatments that is why I gave my best to take
good care of her during the 3 days that I was with her because I value life and I could
see how much end-of-life care is very important.
