For the final self-reflection, I believe I could obtain some competencies such as communication skills with group members. I feel confident in group
discussion and have respects to all of my peers. For example, I can show my collaborative skills while playing role with my peers to determine how to
develop skills in order to perform the checklists. Besides, I think Im good at math which is considered a benefit for my pharmacology course and my
nursing career later. On the other hand, I still have some improvement areas. First, I need to improve my terminology vocabulary which is very
important for being a nurse in documenting. For example, I need to know more words like dyspnea (shortness of breath), hemoptysis (cough up
blood), cyanosis (bluish color), orthopnea (difficult breathing in supine position) and still. I need to create a list of these words in a portable notebook,
so that I can carry with me and review anytime or anywhere. My goal is to enhance the terminology vocabulary about 40 words a month which is 10
words a week by retrieving words from the Jarvis as well as the Mosbys dictionary. Also, I need to have more practice to perform some steps from
physical examination. Specially, I need to learn how to percuss and auscultate in a right way. The reason is because the result from these methods
can tell if the patient are in a good condition or not. Specifically, I have to distinguish what is normal sounds for which location from what is
adventitious sounds (abnormal sound such as crackle or wheeze) from the lungs while auscultating. For example, one of the sound bronchial which is
a high pitch, harsh and hollow sound, is normally located at trachea and larynx. For this reason, I have to set a goal to practice more with peers as
well as using several websites to help me distinguish the difference of these sounds. My plan is to improve this skill within a month, every week I will
save time to practice with friends so that I have more experience in performing the skills professionally in a timely manner. In conclusion, I have to be
consistent with my goals so that I have more confidence and knowledge to become a skillful nurse in future.
