Clinical Practicum
BSN525
Patient Population
My third clinical placement took place at Oak Valley Health in Markham, Ontario, on the 3WH Surgery/Medicine unit. During this placement, I worked alongside my preceptor, Dorothy Hoffman, and four other nursing students. This placement gave me the opportunity to further develop my nursing knowledge, clinical skills, and confidence while caring for patients with different medical and surgical conditions. Being on Surgery/Medicine unit allowed me to learn more about different patient conditions, treatment plans, and the nursing interventions required to support patients post-surgery. Overall, this placement was a valuable learning experience that helped me become more independent, improve my clinical judgment, and continue building the skills needed to become a competent and confident nurse.
