For module 3, Knowledge and Clinical Judgement, I learned a lot about the type of thinking that you must do to excel in the healthcare environment. You always must keep in mind Maslow’s Hierarchy, ABC, and just think about things through a nursing scope which can be hard to master. In order to think like a nurse, you have to focus on what the problem is and think about ways to improve that problem for the patient. Another important. aspect is setting goals for the patient and keeping patients happy and healthy while caring for them. As we get further into this semester, I think everyone in my class is getting better at this way of thinking from doing it in clinical and practicing it in class frequently. Our professors always prompt us and ask us questions in ways that makes us really think like a nurse which is so helpful.

For module 4, priority setting frameworks, I thought that this was the most important module. Most of the NCLEX questions are priority setting based where you must pick the answer of the action that you would do first or what patient you would see first. This is one of the most important aspects of nursing because most likely every patient you have will be sick, but you must make sure you prioritize your care. You also have to plan care based on what patient is in most need because you as one nurse can’t always be in every patient’s room. We provide the best care that we can as nurses by prioritizing and accomplishing what needs to be done to keep all patients safe and on the road to recovery. This is also an important part of forming your thinking to be like a nurse and increasing your ability to take care of more patients while still providing the best care that you can for them.

I chose the song Monster by Rihanna and Eminem. Eminem and Rihanna have different musical styles, Eminem is a rapper and Rihanna is known for singing pop. Rihanna and Eminem have collaborated for multiple songs, but this song is a good representation of collaboration because they are discussing difficult topics like mental health and the struggles of fame and relating their own struggles to each other. In the song Eminem sings about the difficulties of living in fame and what it can do to a person and Rihanna talks about her own personal struggles with mental health which are represented in the song as monsters under her bed. They sing about the balance between success and fame, and sanity and insanity. . I love when artists with different styles work together to make a song because it brings in different sounds to make something new. This is a good lesson for professional collaboration because a coworker or colleague will probably bring some new knowledge to the table that you do not have and vice versa. Collaborating with other minds always results in an abundance of more knowledge and ideas than you would have just thinking about something on your own.
