Answer the survey and win

Hello!

PIRATE and Pirha have collaborated to address the lack of internship placements and brainstormed ways to increase the number of available positions.

In the peripheral areas of Pirkanmaa, there are often unclaimed spots. We have been considering ways to increase the attractiveness of these opportunities, and now we would like to conduct a small survey to prepare for our upcoming meeting.

Please take a moment to respond to the survery and leave your tuni email address. By doing so, you’ll also participate in the overall patch gift card lottery. The voucher will be randomly awarded among those who participate in the survey, and the winner will be notified personally.

PIRATE ry’s Kopokahvit

It’s time to respond to the student feedback collected by TAMK! Student feedback will be collected from 24th October to 10th November from first, second and third year students and from YAMK students who started last spring. You can find the feedback survey from your tuni email! Responding to student feedback is also in your interest. PIRATE ry’s semester coffees are used to meet TAMK staff, such as study counselors and degree supervisors. We go through the issues raised in cooperation forums and student feedback.

Other

At the cooperation forums we discussed a few important themes. One specially important subject was bullying at school and disrupting classes. We would like to remind students that bullying does not belong to any age group. We would like everyone to intervene in bullying if they notice it. Every student deserves to be seen and respected, and everyone should have the peace to learn. If you experience or notice bullying, you can also contact us:

Thoughts on Sairaanhoitajapäivät

Does the situation always need to be critical before the patient’s feelings are taken into account and discussed?

I participated for Sairaanhoitajapäivät on Friday 22.9. at the exhibition center in Helsinki. I attended a couple of lectures, and I would like to share a few things that piqued my intrest.

 The “Why does a nurse need emotional intelligence skills” lecture opened emotional intelligence skills as a concept, as well as how everyone could use and develop them.

  • Emotional intelligence skills play a big role in nurse’s ability to cope.
  • People have needs behind their feelings. Everyone has a need to be met, seen, understood and heard.
  • There are usually several feelings at the same time. The patient may appear angry, but the feeling behind the anger could also be fear. It is important to recognize the primary feeling so that it is seen and the patient feels understood. Understanding the situation is necessary to recognize the feeling.
  • Learn to process and let go of difficult emotions before the next patient encounter. Words can often be forgotten, emotional states are remembered. You have to go through your feelings at some point.
  • Strengthening emotional skills requires courage and exposing yourself to difficult emotions.
  • High-quality treatment and patient encounters require an emotional encounter. The patient brings ignored feelings to the next healthcare appointment.

What? 

PIRATE ry was innovating with TAMK’s and Pirha’s employees new ways to do practical training, since there are plenty of students but not so many open spots in Jobiili. In HUS there are unit M12 that treat vascular surgery patients. HUS opened an unit called ”oppimisyksikkö”, ”learning unit” where are 5 students in morning and in evening shifts, and 1-2 students in night shifts. There are also 2-3 employees in morning and in evening shifts and 1 employee in night shifts that supervises students.  

The idea behing this learning unit was to add more practical training spots for students. In practise this would help students with teamwork skills and decision-making skills.  Together with employees of TAMK and Pirha as well as student representatives we pondered how this would work in Pirha. We also took international students into account, and how much the learning model would benefit them as well. Right now this learning unit-concept is just in consideration.
