Collaboration in Nursing (B)

First Comment:

Eva,
I love this picture you chose here to represent collaboration. It is very creative and insightful. I agree with you that collaboration in nursing is like the inner workings of a clock. There are a lot of intricate pieces that have to work together for the clock to work. The clock also reminds me of the healthcare team as a whole. As nurses, we must work with Doctors, CNAs, Nurse Practitioners, Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, etc. The best outcomes for our patients happen when we can collaborate effectively, which is why it is so important. Thanks for sharing!

Francesca, 

I think your photo of the bee pollinating the flower is a very unique perspective for collaboration in nursing. I totally understand what you’re trying to say here, it takes so many bees to keep a hive strong just like it takes a lot of nurses and other healthcare workers to keep a hospital strong. It also makes our job as a nurse easier and more efficient when we are able to work together to solve a problem. Just like bees, we have a lot of tasks to take care of during our shifts that we would never be able to get done all by ourselves. To collaborate, the first step is recognizing that we cannot do our job alone. Nursing requires working as a team for safe, efficient patient care. Nice job!
