|| Maybe This Is Possible for Me Too ||
Dear Kim,
I donβt know how to beginβ¦ My hands are shaking a little while I write this. But my heart says I must.
I read your message⦠about R. The one who did the report in 20 minutes. I stop and I cry. Not because I am sad⦠but because I feel something deep. Like a small fire in my chest. Like⦠maybe, maybe this is possible for me too?
Every day I practice. I read, I write. Then I erase. Then I try again. Sometimes I feel like I’m going nowhereβ¦ like I write the same thing again and again, and I still get stuck. Grammar is hard. Punctuation, spelling, commaβ¦ where to put, where not. Sometimes I think I will never get it right.
But when I read R’s storyβ¦ it give me hope. If she did itβ¦ maybe one day I will too. Maybe not today, maybe not perfect. But I will keep going. I want to do it in 20 minutes. I want to write with confidence. I want to pass this exam. More than thatβI want to help. I want to care for patients in Canada, with clear words and strong heart.
Thank you, Kim. For showing us itβs possible. For believing in us, even when we donβt believe in ourselves. For giving us tools and stories andβ¦ light. Your words feel like a hand holding mine. I am not alone.
I will continue with the writing practice. I will read the reports. I will study the pain scale, the vocabulary, the format. I will not give up.
From my heart⦠thank you. May God bless you always for your kindness.
With hope,
βA.

Here is a glimpse of excellence β Rβs submission. With only one minor error, she has managed to encapsulate the essence of effective communication in nursing. When she excitedly shared, “Horaaaaaaaaay, I did it in 20 minutesβ¦ I hope that I can do it in a real exam,” it wasn’t just a personal victory for R, but a shining example for all IENs striving for success.
Dive into this incident report and marvel at the advanced competencies displayed. Notice the precision in punctuation, the meticulous recording of vital signs, the understanding of the pain scale, and the skill in quoting a witness. This isn’t just writing; it’s the art of conveying crucial information swiftly and accurately in a high-pressure healthcare setting.
On March 22, 2012 at 3 pm, a mom shouted for help. Linda, a 5 y/o girl of bed #8, was found on the ground in her room. She was crying, and a sign of 2cm scratch was seen on her right knee; her IV line was dislodged, and a pool of blood and fluid was poured on the floor. Her mom expressed,β Linda was thirsty, I just went to bring her a glass of water; I forgot to raise the bed rails, and she fell down.β Head to toe assessment was done: she was pale, conscious and verbalized; she felt dizzy; she was crying and complaining of her kneeβs pain 7 out of 10, where 1 as the least and 10 as the worst pain. Vitals were assessed: BP 80/50 mmHg, PR 110/min, RR 23/min, T 36.3 C. Dr. John was notified, his orders were carried out: a new IV line was inserted on the opposite hand; acetaminophen tab 200 mg PO stat was given, and repeated if pain> 6; brain CT Scan was taken to rule out head injury; X-Ray of her right knee was taken to rule out any fracture; her wound was cleaned and dressed. At 6 pm, she was totally conscious with no pain or dizziness. Vitals were BP 90/60 mmHg, PR 1oo/min, RR 20/min, T 36.9 C. The incident was reported to the supervisor. β¦β¦β¦..R.RN
