clinical instructor will collect evidence in the form of the student self-assessment, comments of the
health care team members, patient input, student submissions (including portfolios) and
observations. A summary of achievement as well as implications for future learning should be
included in this document. The attendance section and record of completed hours is to be filled in
completely. The completed document is to be printed, shared with the student and signed. The signed
copy must be returned to the TFSON within 10 days.
The Year Lead, lab instructor, and/or course professor will assess the completion of the Learning
Center Component, if applicable.
Students and instructors will complete both the mid-term and final
clinical evaluation documents electronically. An electronic copy of the

Progress
Indicators/Evidence
So far on the unit I have received different patients with a wide range of
illnesses and surgical procedures. I have had a patient explain to me that
they wish they did not have a particular life saving surgery because it
ruined their tattoos. In this particular case I had to understand how much
the tattoos meant to the patient and how that shaped his experience at the
hospital an unpleasant one. There was not much I could do to fix his tattoos
but I found through just talking with him and understanding what his
tattoos all meant calmed him down and hopefully made his stay at the
hospital a more pleasant one. Through my progress notes written during the
shifts I am not only using documentation for objective data but also
subjective in means of what the patient says in relation to their illness. Also
through my reflective journals I also explain the experience of a patient on
the acute floor and how that influenced me in my practice. Through my
head to toe assessment I am not only assessing them physically but also
mentally as I learn more about them and what they want their experience t
be like on the acute floor. Overall I have found that each individual
experience on the units differ and by communicating and working together
with the patients makes it a more pleasant and safer environment.
I continue to listen to my patients throughout the second part of the
semester. Many patients would describe the feelings of being a nuisance
or a bother when they had to use the call bell for assistance. I would try
my best to reassure them that they were not.
Upon arriving to clinical I receive my patient for the day along with their
admitting diagnosis, the surgery that was done, and any past medical
history. This then ables me to search the s/s of the illness and any
associated problems. So then once I get to the unit I have a better
understanding on what to focus on during my assessment. As well as
during my head to toe assessment I am evaluating their s/s, responses to
treat, and if they are coping well. An elderly lady was my patient for the
day and she was very close with her husband and would always want to
wait for him to come to visit before engaging in ambulation like walking
around the unit and leg exercises. So I had to respect that aspect of the
patient and learn that relationship meant a lot to her so I had to respect that.
I think that this was her way of coping with being in the hospital having
just had surgery she needed her husband there as a way of coping and
feeling comfort during her time there.
Throughout the semester I continued to research my patient the evening
before by completing the prep and plan paper so that I could come to
clinical prepared. I would also ensure that I would follow up with my
patient so I could see their response to the treatment. For example the one

2. When talking with patients about disease related aspects I need to feel more comfortable in
telling them nursing knowledge. I know that I know the answer to their question but I need to feel
more confident in telling them that.
3. In future practice I hope to continue to practice my wound dressing changes. The more practice I
have doing it the easier it will become in doing them while using sterile technique.
