💭 Nursing Reflection: Becoming the Nurse I Prayed to Be

This journey has taught me more than any textbook ever could. Nursing school isn’t just about grades — it’s about growth, grace, and gratitude.

✨ What I’ve Learned So Far:
1️⃣ Confidence comes after confusion.
Those uncertain moments prepare you to stand taller — growth is born in the struggle.

2️⃣ Ask boldly.
Never be afraid to raise your hand or seek understanding. Curiosity doesn’t make you weak — it makes you wise.

3️⃣ Grace over perfection.
You’ll make mistakes, but grace keeps you grounded when perfection tries to pressure you.

Every late night, every test, and every clinical is shaping you into the nurse you prayed to become. You’re not behind — you’re becoming. 🌿

🧠 Master Neuro Assessments

The neurological system tells us more than words ever can — every reaction, movement, and response gives insight into brain and nerve function.
As nurses, it’s our role to listen to what the body is saying before the alarm does. 💬

📋 Neuro Assessment Breakdown:
1️⃣ Level of Consciousness: Use the AVPU scale (Alert, Verbal, Pain, Unresponsive) — shows how the brain reacts to stimuli.
2️⃣ Motor Function: Check strength, grip, and movement on both sides.
3️⃣ Pupil Response: Assess equality, roundness, and light reactivity (PERRLA).
4️⃣ Sensory Function: Test with touch or temperature — loss of sensation may indicate nerve damage.

💡 Study Tip:
Remember L.P.M.S.R. → Level, Pupils, Motor, Sensory, Reflexes
🧠 “Little People Move So Rapidly” — your easy way to recall the order!

💬 CareMatrix Clinical Insight:
“The neurological system speaks — your job is to listen before the alarm does.”

🌿 Understanding Oxygen Therapy: What, Why & When It’s Used

Oxygen therapy is more than just a treatment — it’s how we help the body restore balance between air and life. 💨

As nurses, knowing when and how to use oxygen devices ensures safe, effective, and personalized care for every patient.

📘 Quick Breakdown:
1️⃣ Nasal Cannula — For mild oxygen needs; delivers comfort for long-term use.
2️⃣ Simple Face Mask — Used for moderate oxygen needs; keep flow ≥6 L/min to prevent CO₂ buildup.
3️⃣ Venturi Mask — Provides precise oxygen delivery (e.g., COPD); color-coded adapters control exact flow.
4️⃣ Face Tent / Trach Collar — Used post-surgery or for facial trauma; provides humidified oxygen safely.

💬 CareMatrix Insight:
“The goal isn’t just oxygen delivery — it’s restoring balance between air and life.”

🧠 Neuro Checks in Real Life: Protecting Your Patient’s Brain Health

Neuro checks are one of the most important nursing assessments — especially for patients with head injuries, stroke symptoms, or post-surgery recovery. Every second matters when it comes to the brain. ⏱️

Here’s what nurses assess during a neuro check:
1️⃣ Orientation — Ask person, place, time, and situation. Watch for confusion or delay.
2️⃣ Speech & Response — Notice slurred or delayed words and tone.
3️⃣ Pupils (PERRLA) — Pupils Equal, Round, Reactive to Light and Accommodation.
4️⃣ Motor Strength — Squeeze hands, push/pull feet, and compare sides.
5️⃣ Sensation — Light touch or cotton swab; check for numbness or tingling.
6️⃣ Observation — Look for facial drooping, jerky movements, or asymmetry.

💬 Glow Era Insight:
Small changes can mean big shifts in brain function — your assessment can save a life.

🧠 Anatomy & Physiology Made Simple

Before diving into complex nursing concepts, it’s important to understand the foundation of the human body. These basics are what connect science to patient care. 💓

📘 Quick Breakdown:
1️⃣ Cells — The building blocks of life and the start of every body system.
2️⃣ Tissues — Groups of cells working together for a shared purpose.
3️⃣ Major Organs — Specialized structures that keep the body running (like the heart, lungs, and liver).
4️⃣ Body Systems — Teams of organs that work together to maintain balance (homeostasis).

✨ Glow Era Insight:
Knowing how the body is built helps nurses understand how it heals, responds, and survives.

💓 Why Nurses Need to Know EKG Reading

Understanding an EKG goes beyond just recognizing waves — it’s about saving lives in real time.
Every spike, dip, and rhythm tells a story about what the heart is doing — or what it’s struggling to do.

🩺 Here’s Why It Matters:
1️⃣ Early Recognition: Nurses detect cardiac changes before they become emergencies.
2️⃣ Rapid Response: Quick interpretation can mean the difference between stability and crisis.
3️⃣ Patient Safety: Monitoring rhythm ensures proper oxygenation and perfusion.
4️⃣ Accurate Communication: Clear EKG reporting helps the healthcare team act fast.
5️⃣ Life-Saving Intervention: Recognizing arrhythmias empowers nurses to respond immediately in code situations.

💬 CareMatrix Insight:
A skilled nurse doesn’t just read the line — they hear the heartbeat of survival.
EKG knowledge isn’t just technical; it’s life-preserving.
