Over the past few weeks I was able to learn an incredible amount during my time in the community clinical rotation. This rotation was not at all what I expected it would be.

Before noon my nurse had already seen six patients and attended a staff meeting. The amount of prioritization and organization she put in

After this experience‚ the rest of the clinical shift went astonishingly well. With that great self-confidence and the motivation to efficiently accomplish all the other tasks‚ I realized that the coordination with my partners was the primary influence towards my self-esteem today.

Clinical Reflection 1. Recall the activity‚ idea‚ or event that gave you the most intense learning “high”. What was it about this situation that was so exciting or pleasing? Working with actual patients is completely different than studying at the tech center and doing labs or bookwork. I liked having an actual connection with the patients while feeling professional. It was hard to be professional with the other students studying at JATC because we are all so close and it is weird to treat a friend

She was now going to go live at a nursing home

I personally think I had a great experience at Seven Hills Hospital during my psychiatric clinical rotation. During the rotation‚ I got to experience different units of the psychiatric hospital and experience many different cases of mental health. In the adolescent unit‚ it was very surprising to find out that most of the children that were admitted there came from broken homes. It really hit me hard hearing some of their stories about how they were beaten or their parents were not around at all

My clinical rotation at White Memorial Medical Center was a memorable experience for me. The nurses that I was assigned to or shadowed were very kind with sharing their experiences as well as their knowledge when it came to taking care of children.

She had four patients ranging from ages 3 months to 15 years of age. I had a
