The traineeship report compiles my path in terms of learning related to my development of the skills as a specialist nurse in medical surgery nursing. Its main objective conforms to the reflective, critical and based way of describing the development of the activities and skills along the traineeships.I integrated a descriptive, analytical and reflective methodology based on bibliographical resources from the scientific database and manual research in libraries. The communication nurse-person was the conductor and transverse nursing focus along the three traineeships that I have done. I explored them in the following order: Palliative Care, Intensive Care and Emergency Service. In order to support this path came the theoretical guidance of Margot Phaneuf and Jean Watson in a symbiosis of complementariness between different paradigms of nursing. During the traineeship and inherently to the particularity of Palliative Care, I directed the development of skills towards the psychosocial aspect of the act of taking care. I developed the ability of the relationship about helping and communication, and more specifically the services of specialized nursing service to the person with symptomatic lack of control. In the traineeship of Intensive Care, I contributed to the improvement of the quality of the taken care services through the promotion of safe practices of the nurses in the approach to the vascular access of the users with kidney failure. I also shared my professional experience about the best ways of handling the central venous catheter for haemodialysis and about the main care to get to the vascular access. Furthermore, the focus of personal development that I achieved consisted to the specialized care nursing service given to the person who has to be undergone to the invasive mechanic ventilation. As far as the traineeship of Emergency Service is concerned, the development of the specialized skills to the services rendered in new, unpredictable situations and with different levels of urgency, new challenges to the immediate care appeared. In the continuous improvement of the rendered services I shared with the nursing team the integral revision of the literature written about the communication of bad news that simultaneously gathers the scientific evidence and the practical aspects that are implicit to them. This isn´t still a finished route. On the contrary, it continues each moment of my professional practice, leading my peers to blossom to the ability of caring with a new gaze, the gaze of the Advanced Nursing.
