This week we had a clinical make up day in Sim lab. I learned how to give injections‚ oral medications‚ and put in Urinary Catheters. It was interesting to learn how to give subcutaneous and Intramuscular injections. I was nervous at first‚ because giving injections is a different technique then drawing blood. It was a great experience. I learned that I should give subcutaneous injections in the abdomen region about 45-90 degrees and this site is great for administering Insulin. It is important to

The first week of my clinical experience was quite interesting. While it was under the same umbrella as pediatric nursing‚ it was slightly different from the pediatric clinical rotation. For instance‚ the children who came to the nurse’s office were not sick enough to the point of requiring hospitalization‚ and some of them just wanted to talk. Surprisingly‚ the desire some of the kids had to sit to talk did not seem to stem from them wanting to be out of class; however‚ that could have been part

The morning of the first day of my clinical preceptorship I had such a mix of emotions. I had been lying in bed awake for hours because I felt too much excitement to sleep. My alarm went off and the nerves set in sending one question after another swirling through my head. Would my preceptor be nice? Would I disappoint her? Would I remember my lab values? Would I remember my skills? What if someone crashes will I know what to do? If everything is okay will I know what to do? A year of nursing school

On the night of Saturday‚ October 11th‚ Logan and I went out for a typical

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

January I was introduced to Patient Y‚ a 30-40 year old female who was being induced with her third child. She was 39 weeks and 1 day and was having an elective induction. She was very willing to have a nursing student present through her laboring process and therefore I was able to experience the complete birth and eventually use her for my OB paper. Patient Y had diabetes‚ hypertension‚ and depression prior to her pregnancy. She did not have any major surgeries. In regards to her GYN/OB history
