[SOLVED] SCENARIO: YOU ARE A STUDENT NURSE WORKING ON A BUSY MEDICAL-SURGICAL FLOOR.

Overview:

Effective nursing requires strong communication, collaboration, and self-care. In this assignment, you’ll reflect on a realistic practice-based scenario that brings together key topics from Weeks 4–6: delegation, teamwork, patient rights, professional communication, and managing stress in clinical environments.

Scenario:

You are a student nurse working on a busy medical-surgical floor. The RN you’re shadowing asks you to assist with patient rounds, including reviewing vitals, helping with hygiene, and preparing one patient for discharge. You overhear a tense conversation between a nurse and a patient’s family member about discharge plans. Later, a nursing assistant expresses frustration about being asked to do something outside of their scope. By the end of the shift, you’re feeling overwhelmed, unsure whether you handled everything correctly, and you’re reflecting on how to manage similar situations in the future.

Your Task:

Write a 750–1000 word reflection addressing the following prompts:
