I think that is really important in this field because the hospital can be uncomfortable for most people. Student Chelbi Hill, 20, a pre-medicine and psychology major from Indianapolis, says much the same: "I believe I am making a difference because there are patients and families that remember me by name, and they light up when I enter the room. Additionally, the staff on my floor has thanked me multiple times for the help I have provided.” I truly enjoy helping these patients progress along the road of recovery. I have found myself simply talking with these patients and giving them much-needed company. I’m with patients in the cardiac division, so they require an immense amount of recovery and rehab.
Last week, I was thanked by a family for being attentive…just treating the patient how I would want my own family to be treated.
Participating student Robert Heins, 21, a health sciences major in UC’s College of Allied Health Sciences, who is from Mansfield, Ohio, states, “I do believe that I have been making a difference in both helping patients and the healthcare team. And we’ll get a lot of feedback from our nurses, so it’s successful for everyone, and most of all, for the patients.” The team approach allows others on the care team, like patient care assistants, therapists and others, to conduct the important care practices most appropriate for their skill sets,” she states, adding, “It’s a win-win-win.
THE PROMISE OF ANOTHER TOMORROW FULL
It’s a means for allowing nurses to work at the top of their license (meaning to the full level and extent of their education, training and experience versus more routine tasks well below skill level). “This will be a benefit to nursing staff and our patient care specifically, as we follow an approach we call team nursing. Grau quickly agreed to help launch the new program, stating, “I think it’s a great opportunity for students, great for nurses and great for patient care. How could we provide those nurses more support staff?” Given that, I began mentally recalculating the care model entirely, and when you’re trying to redesign a model, you ask yourself what and how can you redeploy assets. These are distinct, complex roles where highly trained and skilled nurses need to focus on care needs at or above the threshold of their full capabilities. For instance, specialization in nursing roles, whether an operating room nurse or an ICU nurse or psychiatry nurse or in another role or unit, is now a required norm to best serve our patients. We need to restructure our healthcare workforce. So, our old models really don’t apply anymore. Overall, the workforce issues in healthcare are severe, and this isn’t going to change anytime soon. Pancioli recalls, “I began ruminating that we all know we don’t have enough nurses in this country. They also engaged with others at UC Health like Teri Grau, chief nursing officer and vice president of nursing. The “Healthcare Exploration in Patient Care” program was first fast tracked by Pancioli Valerie Hoagland-Scarfpin, UC Health assistant vice president, talent acquisition Alex Maus, UC Health director of educational placements and Anil Menon, UC College of Medicine associate dean and director of the undergraduate medical sciences program, in the closing days of 2021.
