    The document discusses the challenges of a nursing student completing their preliminary exams during the COVID-19 pandemic. While the required activities were similar to the previous semester, the student has adjusted to the educational setup and no longer feels anxious during patient interviews. Their main weakness is the limited opportunity to find patients with unique conditions due to risks of exposure during the pandemic. They have improved their nursing skills and focus on creating realistic care plans, but retaining all the lessons from prelims remains a challenge.

    The recent weeks that have passed challenged me to be more

    flexible and adaptive to some uncertainties. I realized that the set of


    activities that was prepared and was asked for me to accomplish this
    prelims is pretty much similar to what I was able to pass last semester.
    Compared to my situation before, I can say that I have completely
    adjusted and became more accustomed in accomplishing at least one or
    two activities in the modules every day. I can now balance my study
    time and activity time.
    The activities in the modules are the same and I appreciate that
    because I still need to sharpen and improve my NCP skills and
    communication skills in assessing patients. Finding a patient however is
    still hard because a lot of people in our community doesn’t want to be
    bothered. The two recorded group reports are one of the newest
    activities included in the module. I found it hard to prepare for the
    reports since I was the one who created the two Powerpoint slides.
    Nevertheless, when I was working on the Powerpoint I was already
    learning and gathering up ideas as I was them.
    I think, one of my newly discovered strengths this prelims is that I
    am totally adjusted with the current educational set-up. I no longer feel
    anxious everytime I interview someone and I am becoming more
    focused on creating realistic plans on my NCP. My weakness would be
    the limited opportunity for me to find patients with unique conditions. I
    always end up having a patient with a common condition and finding a
    patient who has a respiratory condition in this time of pandemic is quite
    risky. The opportunity that I was able to grab was to report and present
    our chosen group topic. Lastly, one of the challenge that I have to face
    throughout this semester is to retain all of the lessons that was taught to
    me in the prelims.
    1. As nurses, the primary responsibilities that we should apply to
    patients with respiratory problems includes doing comprehensive
    assessment of the patient’s condition, carrying out of independent and
    dependent nursing actions without causing harm to the patient and
    significant others, monitoring for adverse effects of the medications and
    the possible complications of prolonged mechanical ventilation,
    infection prevention, monitoring the vital signs, oxygen saturation,
    comfort and rest of the patient, lastly, conduct health promotion and
    disease prevention plans through health teachings for the patients and
    families.

    2. As a future nurse, I will help reduce the mortality rate of my patients


    by doing a comprehensive assessment of their condition/s, after that I am
    going to monitor their vital signs and ensure that they are controlled and
    within acceptable readings, correctly position the client, prevent
    complications before they arise, I will promptly administer medications
    as ordered, carry out dependent and independent nursing actions as well
    as notify the physician from time to time about the patient’s condition.

    3. Being a Pilarist nurse, I am constantly reminded by my educators to


    treat the patient as a whole and ensure that the patient maximizes his/her
    abilities while being confined in the hospital. I also learned that
    prevention and prompt management is the utmost concern of critical
    care nurses to their patients. Applying it to my family, I will be an
    advocate and I will also remind them that the conditions that make
    patients end up in ICU are all preventable and while they are still young
    and consider themselves healthy then they should not be engaging in
    activities and practices that would make them eventually develop these
    types of crippling diseases.
