Personal Narrative: My Trip To St. Jude Cardiac Rehab
Weakly clinical update # 1
I will be going to St Jude Cardiac Rehab for my clinical. This week I could not start my clinical rotation because I did not have clearance from the hospital administration. However, I spoke to my preceptor Maria and arranged to start my first day of clinical on next week Thursday, which is September 1st, from 10 AM to 6 PM. There are two programs: one is traditional cardiac rehab and other one is ‘Ornish’ program. Next week I will attend Wednesday and Thursday, so I can have experience of both programs. I am very excited and looking forward to start my Community Health Clinical program

My big sister, Maisie, was on my shoulder and we shifted her head fell on my lap. She woke up and asked where we were. “We are almost there Maisie” my Dad said.

    Deb Towns Case Study

    The cardiac rehab program began because there was a need. One of the qualitites in an effective leader is the ability to recognize a need and take action to make that need met. Deb began her nursing career after graduating from West Shore Community College by working briefly in Grand Rapids before settling at MMC in the mid-eighties. She worked as an R.N.. In a variety of settings including Med/Surg and CCU. While working in these capacities Dr. Persson approached her a number of times about the need to have a rehab program for cardiac patients. This patient population was not being served locally. Deb would agree with him, saying "Yes, it would be nice to have a rehab program," and that would be it. Then in 1990 Deb's first child was born. At the same time the CCU needed a manager and Deb was filling in as an interim for the department. This position had a…

    Personal Narrative: My Brother's Recovery

    In 1991, my brother was born with Meconium Aspiration which is the swallowing of his own bowel movement. As a result, he was in a vegetative state at the infancy stage and suffered severe intellectual and developmental delays. With the appropriate referrals to (a) neonatal care hospitals, (b) behavioral intervention specialists, (c) social workers, (d) speech language pathologist, and (e) occupational and physical therapist, he made a full recovery. Notwithstanding the past medical mistakes, the early interventions helped him to reach developmental milestones at a latent age. Moreover, the use of early interventions led him to the normal adaptation to his interpersonal, social, economic, and political environments.…

    Personal Narrative: My Experience As A Clinical Assistant

    Sounds pretty similar to the agency I work for but it sounds like you had a lot more training then we did. Oddly, I was never asked or told to shadow anyone however, I did have a few nurses shadow me. I asked these nurses about it and they told me they weren’t getting paid for their time and I thought that was a little bizarre. I’m guessing that many agencies do not pay people for training after hearing your experience was similar to…

    Personal Narrative: My Trip To Catawba Valley Medical Center

    Hospital Internship: Eight hours a week I travel to Catawba Valley Medical Center where I shadow nurses in the oncology unit. Thus far in my internship I have been given a first hand look into the various jobs that make up the oncology department, how medications are administered and what their purposes are, patient care techniques, etc. This internship has not only allowed me to explore my intense interest for the study of oncology but radiology as well seeing as how I am able to rotate between the two units depending on the day. I have also gained an extensive knowledge through observations at the infusion center located downstairs when I travel with patients who are receiving treatment.…

    Missing Clinical Experience

    Today I had the opportunity to redo a missed clinical date. I joined in Professor Connor’s Thursday group at RCH. I actually really enjoyed Professor Connor’s teaching style. She moved swift enough to give ample learning opportunities to all of us! I appreciated her moving so quickly as I got to administer my first injection! Not only did I administer a flu shot, but I also administered a heparin injection and an insulin injection! Professor Connors was the real MVP today. I could not believe how much of a confidence boost it was for me. I am almost happy I had to redo a missed clinical.…

    Personal Narrative: My Clinical Experience In A Nursing Home

    As I got out of my car and started walking to the front door, all I could do was admire this beautiful building that resembled a ranch-style home. When I walked through the front door, the smell of mashed potatoes, baked chicken breast, and wheat rolls filled my nose; it was as if I was walking into my own grandma’s house. In front of me there was a group of people; some in wheelchairs, some using walkers, and others on the couch shouting out answers to the latest crossword puzzles. Walking through these doors brought me to the realization that I was soon going to learn everything about each one of these people. This included how to specially care for and assist them with their everyday needs in this place that they call their home. I did not…
