Clinical Review
Relationship with Preceptor and Fulfillment of Clinical Goals
My experience in the Comprehensive Psychiatric Emergency Program (CPEP) has been significantly enriched by my relationship with my preceptor, who has been great in guiding and gradually increasing my responsibilities. In terms of fulfilling my clinical goals, I have made progress, particularly in understanding psychiatric conditions and patient care, but I recognize the need for further improvement in writing concise psychiatric notes and managing my time effectively.
Evaluation of the Agency/Clinical Site
The CPEP is a first point of contact for patients with acute psychiatric conditions, providing a high-energy and challenging environment. The interdisciplinary team works cohesively and quickly. As a psychiatric NP student, I observe that NPs help with managing patient care by balancing clinical assessments with therapeutic interventions. The site is conducive to learning although fast-paced.
Factors Influencing the NP Role
The main barrier to my role as an NP student has been the lack of computer access, which has limited my ability to independently document and manage patient information. However, this has been mitigated by collaborating with PA students and engaging more directly in patient interviews and discussions. My background in medical-surgical nursing has given me a solid foundation for understanding the medical aspects of patient care.
Self-Evaluation and Performance Critique
Reflecting on my performance, I have grown in my ability to assess patients and develop treatment plans. However, I need to work on creating more succinct notes and improving my time management skills. I plan to seek ongoing feedback from my preceptor and team members to continue refining these skills.
Reactions to Client Interactions and Treatment Responses
Interacting with patients in acute psychiatric crises has been both challenging and highly educational. I have learned to manage my reactions in intense emotional situations, maintaining professionalism while offering empathy. Observing patients' responses to treatment, especially the rapid stabilization with appropriate interventions, has been particularly rewarding. It shows the impact of timely and effective psychiatric care.
Overall Reflection
This clinical experience has been invaluable in shaping my skills and understanding of psychiatric care. I have encountered challenges, but the learning curve has been rewarding. I look forward to continuing to refine my skills and contribute more effectively to patient care in this dynamic and essential field.

Illness | STORIES OF ILLNESS | "Honoring the Stories of Illness" The "narrative medicine" approach has been garnering increasing popularity of late, in healthcare facilities and medical research centers. Columbia University's literary scholar and doctor, Rita Charon, came up with the concept in the course of the last ten years, along with her coworkers. The scholar has designed "Parallel Charts" and similar tools that caregivers can utilize for writing personally about patient-physician
traumatic experience with a patient a few years ago that still left me with a bad feeling. It was a hit-and-miss instance, and the fact that it was so, more closely being miss than hit, has stayed with me ever since. It was the first time that I ever came so breathtakingly close to being implicated in causing another to die. I hope it will be the last. As
Even as the United States struggles to cope with a critical nationwide shortage of nurses, existing nursing education programs are unable to meet the demand for unlicensed nursing students to gain real-world clinical experiences. In response, a growing number of vendors and nursing education programmers are integrating virtual clinical experiences in the nursing curriculum. Moreover, these virtual clinical experiences are especially effective because many young nursing students have grown up
