            In nurse logic module 3 knowledge and clinical judgement I learned about different learning styles and critical thinking. I am a visual learner, so I was able to learn some new strategies such as using charts and outlines and putting information in a diagram. This semester we are learning how to give good care to patients during clinicals so applying critical thinking is very important there. Knowing my learning style and applying critical thinking can help integrate me into nursing culture.

            In nurse logic module 4 priority setting frameworks I learned about how to set priorities when caring for patients. It is important to implement the nursing process during care and consider Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, and airway, breathing, and circulation. This semester we are learning how to prioritize which patients to see first and thinking about Maslow and ABC can help with that. Thinking about patient safety and which patient is most at risk when in practice can help me integrate into nursing culture.

This painting depicts a team of healthcare workers working together to care for a patient in surgery. They seem to have the situation under control, and all appear very calm in this painting. Each healthcare worker in this painting is doing a different job, but they are still collaborating on how to give the best care for the patient. No one seems frustrated or distracted and they all appear to be very focused on the patient. Collaboration involves two or more people working together towards shared goals. This is especially important in healthcare as one patient usually has a team of providers helping them. Without collaboration patient care would not be as safe or efficient.
