Preceptorship Clinical

 

After completing Leadership clinical, respond to questions 1-10 below. The answers to these questions need provide enough detail to fully reflect the thinking of a student preparing for the role of a registered nurse. For ease and clarity, cut and paste the topics and answer them appropriately. This will decrease the chance that any topics are inadvertently omitted. Make sure your answers demonstrate application to the clinical site and experience of your preceptorship. Each question is worth 5 points. Typed, double space, 12-point font.

1. Identify specific situations (more than one) encountered during this clinical experience where nursing care made a difference in a client’s outcome. Be specific without using any identifying information.

2. Identify specific examples of how nursing prioritization impacted care, either positively or negatively and identify how care could have been different had the nurse/student prioritized differently.

3. Describe any non-care delivery situations that, in your opinion, could have been handled differently. Do not address a patient care issue. Think in terms of interpersonal interactions, management issues, or institutional issues.

4. Make suggestions that could change the outcome, either in client care or in floor management, which reflect the observations in 2-4 from the criteria above.

5. Identify the system used for report. How effective is the report as given? Do you receive sufficient data to plan nursing care? What organizational methods will you use to be sure you administer an effective report?

6. Observe and ask questions about how staff assignments are made on the unit. Are assignments made based on geography, acuity, staff skill sets? How effective is this system?

7. Identify the usual staffing mix of the unit. How many RNs, LPNs, Nursing Assistants, etc? In your opinion, describe the effectiveness of this method of staffing. What changes would you like to suggest to the Nurse Manager regarding staffing? What is the rationale for the changes?

8. Identify other members of the health care delivery team and actively collaborate with them to achieve coordinated care. What activities contribute to team cohesiveness and what activities are detrimental to team cohesiveness? Evaluate the effectiveness of the inter- professional collaboration on this unit. Evaluate the effectiveness of your collaborative activities and identify what you might do differently to be more effective in collaboration.

9. Identify problems on the unit. Are there any themes related to the problems, e.g personnel involved, recurring situations, etc? What suggestions do you have that might improve the problematic situation?

10. List the four personal goals you had for this experience and describe how you met each one of them in this clinical rotation.

MacArthur Park (on a Sunday afternoon)

 

Write an essay that focuses on one field site in Los Angeles of your choice. The paper should address a current issue, phenomenon, or class topic in your chosen site. To do this, you will synthesize some research on the area (newspapers, books, USC library resources, other media) and your own in-person observations. This gives you the flexibility to explore a specific place and course theme that piques your intellectual curiosity: redevelopment/gentrification, demographic change, architecture and the built environment, environmental justice, etc. Based on your research, how have other authors and media sources addressed your chosen field site and issue? And, how do you view this place through your own observations and fieldwork experience?
Find and read relevant academic texts and/or media representations of the place (LA Times or magazine articles, videos, books, documentaries, interviews, websites, etc.) to gain important background information about your particular field site. These can include readings we have assigned for the course (for example, many of the reserve articles discuss some of these places and the themes they raise; there’s also a great book called A People’s Guide to Los Angeles that’s worth buying and sharing but is also available online through the USC library and will be available on Blackboard as well) but you should find at least three or more additional sources. Wikipedia and Google ARE NOT acceptable sources.
Prepare for your field site visit. Before visiting the field site, use the academic and media representations of your field site to develop a key set of investigatory questions that will help you to thoughtfully explore and navigate your chosen site. Developing a solid set of field site questions will guide you through the observation process and will also help you to craft a strong thesis/main argument. That is, go into your fieldwork with some central issue or set of issues to frame your observations. Perhaps there is a recent L.A. Times article that leads you to ask further questions on the matter. Or, maybe the Christopher Hawthorne articles inspire you to explore similar issues of how the built environment shapes public life and social interaction. By going into your field site without some guiding concern, you run the risk of walking away with nothing substantive from your time there. [Your TAs will work with you to review and refine your framing questions.]
Visit your field site; while it is quite acceptable to go with friends, groups should not exceed three or four people as your own crowd will change the meaning of the place. Recall that the preparatory readings were about how the site was represented by various authors; it’s now your chance to represent, describe, and analyze the meaning of the place. This is an active process: write down the date and time of your observations, and take field notes on the physical and social landscape which include specific factual details, sensory interpretations, personal feelings while conducting fieldwork, and nuanced language to describe your field site. You can choose to document your experiences through photographs and video footage, or interview relevant persons to supplement your overall fieldwork experience. Your field site visit should total approximately two hours – don’t move quickly but rather get a rhythm of the place changing around you [You can, if you wish, do two one-hour visits, perhaps at different times. We encourage you to take public transportation to at least some of these sites; you’ll find that will provide its own set of observations.
Analyze your field notes and to determine what you actually discovered there versus the academic and media representations you read to prepare. Make sure you thoroughly analyze how your field work findings compare with those representations of your field site. Please provide provide critical insights and analysis, not just a factual summary or opinion about your topic. Identify an overarching thesis or narrative that can tie together the paper’s different argumentative and observational threads.

Fear Generalization and Anxiety: Behavioral and Neural Mechanisms

 

1Give the reader (me) a general background on the topic you chose by constructing a brief introduction.
2. Take at least one point from three studies that were done that are directly related to the topic you introduced. This description does not have to be extremely detailed. Remember the papers on the coffee experiment and the bobo doll? They just presented a vague picture of the experiments but you could still get a good sense of what was done. Try to present your studies similarly.
3. Critique the studies you presented (i.e. are the conclusions presented reasonable from the results the researchers got?) and offer some insight or future directions for a study. If you want you could simply state any questions you have pertaining to the topic you introduced and what might be done to answer those questions. Just provide some kind conclusion with respect to your write up.
So the paper must have:
Title page
Abstract
Three pages doubles spaced addressing the three guidelines
Reference page
Title running header – top left of each page
Page numbers – top right of each page

these are the peer review articles i found but not all the information has to come from these
