My goal for this essay is
*To be able to communicate effectively and deliver a clear, accurate and relevant clinical bedside handover based on individualised nursing care by week 5 on the clinical placement.
*Learning strategies and resources for the goal are:
-Attend hand over to gather information at the beginning of my shift.
-Observe and listen to other nurse’s handover to get useful strategies.
-Attend the handover on time to not miss relevant clinical information.
-Practice giving clinical handover with 2 patients by week 1 and building up to 6 patients by week 2 under preceptor supervision at the end of my shift.
-Use the time management gird.
-Collect relevant medical/surgical information from the various tools (ex: read progress notes, check fluid balance chart, medication chart, observation chart, pathology results and talk to patients), so that I know my patients well enough to handover.
-Evaluate and assess the patients’ response to nursing interventions and upgrade information accordingly.
-Use the ISBAR tool as a guideline for the handover.
-Find/read the hospital policies and procedures related to the handover.
-Simulated handover practice with my preceptor before giving the handover, especially 1st week of clinical placement.

5 weeks theory part finished and I am doing the 6 weeks clinical placement in Orthopaedic ward night shift at the moment.
My back ground of nursing is 4 years operating theatre in Korea and 5 years of Haemodialysis in Australia, so Orthopaedic ward is quite different environment for me, especially handover. Because the two parts where I used to work are the special areas at the hospital and not need much to give handover to the next shift nurse. Also my background is Korea
(been in Australia for 12 years) and non english native speaker.
That is why I chose the goal to learn and overcome about the nursing handover.
Please help me to pass this course and if you need any more information to write the essay please contact me.
Thanks in advance.
