Scenario
Marcos is a nursing student in his last clinical rotation of the nursing program. This morning he has been
providing total patient care to the two patients his clinical instructor assigned him. After he made his
morning assessments, Marcos asked his instructor to review and co-sign his electronic documentation. His
instructor supervised him as he administered the 0900 medications. They had to seek out another nurse to
witness the partial wasting of a narcotic for one of his patients, as the prescribed dosage was unavailable in
a prepackaged form.
During their lunch break, Marcos was telling his clinical group about the last Student Nurses’ Association
meeting he attended. He was quite proud of how well their peer-led dosage calculation study session went
with some of the beginning nursing students in the program. Marcos commented, “It seems like just
yesterday I was the one having problems with dosage calculation. I’m so ready to graduate and not have to
do another nursing care plan in my life!” Another member of his clinical group, Janelle, replied, “I don’t think
I’m ready. I’m good in clinical but I don’t think I’m ready for the real world yet.” Maria, another member of
their clinical group, added to the conversation, “I know what you mean Janelle. Clinical is good but I don’t
think it’s preparing us for what we will be really doing as a nurse when we are on our own. I don’t see how
what we do as a student is anything like what the nurses really do.” Marcos added another comment, “At
least we won’t have to take any more tests after we pass the NCLEX.”
At this point, their clinical instructor joined the conversation and said, “I think you each have important
viewpoints. Let’s discuss this topic during post-conference.” At the end of the clinical day, the clinical
instructor had the students analyze their role as a student and compare it to the role of a licensed nurse on
the same floor.
Answer the following questions for the homework assignment: Identify three activities in the scenario that are specific only to a student nurse. How will those activities change when the student becomes a licensed nurse? Identify three student activities and describe how they are different from and similar to activities of
the licensed nurse. Give specific examples of similar activities licensed nurses do. 1 Module 6 Professional Development
