Personal Narrative: Rotation Day
Rotation Day 8 today I’m in processing it was a slower day than yesterday so the processer had me help with a few things. They also asked me if I could go with a phlebotomist to drop some blood to the Operation room. When we got there I noticed read lines on the floor meaning we could not pass until we had full gowns. We waited to see if there was someone we could flag since there was no one in the front office. A person came in and we told her we had a delivery she took it and we left. When we got back they had a request to draw a patient in the SSI department I didn’t know where this was so the phlebotomist asked if I wanted to go check it out so I went. I didn’t know it we had to drive since it was in another location. We went in and the patient was in the recovery room she was alert at the moment and recognized the phlebotomist right away. …show more content…
Most of the elderly people look sad. The gentlemen that we drew on was just staring at a wall while drinking his hot chocolate. After we drove to the front I don’t remember the name of the place but we went to draw blood on a women she looked like she was in her twenties. The phlebotomist told me before going in that everything that we take in has to come right back out even the trash. He had an extra bag for the trash. He told me people with mental problems stayed there also with drug addiction. We had to make sure we didn’t throw anything in the paper bags. After this we went back to the

    Karen Thomas arrived this morning for Syncope. She was brought to the hospital by an ambulance. Her alcohol level was O. She already had two negative troponin and was going to be discharged the next day. Basically, she was at our CDU floor for observation and third troponin.

    We started our day in the hospital lobby promptly at 0630, the professor started off by explaining where on the unit each of us would be, as she usually does. I was placed in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) along with one other student. This week was different than previously, there were more infants and nurses and also Intermediate Care Unit (IMCU) was in a different room. Because NICU was full with nurses and infants. I started off in IMCU, where I met this wonderful nurse who I connected with and stayed the whole day talking to her, when I wasn’t checking on the other student. The nurse allowed me to shadow her with the three infants she was assigned to. At each station the…

    It’s my first day in this mental hospital, and I hate it. These green suits are like hazard suits. They’re meant to shield the wearer from hostile environments that are a threat to their health. Here, it’s the converse. They’re meant to protect the staff and society from us. I’ve heard from this Indian guy, some Chief Bromden, that whoever’s in there is different than what society accepts. I’ve also heard from him that Lord Nurse Ratched gets to determine whether you leave or not, which all depends if you’re committed. My entry interview to determine that is next.…

Within a few minutes the Manager of the rest home ran in to gather the blood pressure machine and bandages. She informed another student nurse and myself to “take these to Max’s (pseudonym) room NOW, while I call an ambulance”.…

    During my time at Recruit Training Command, I had som adversaries endured during my time there. With swimming was one of those that I found to be very challenging, I thought I failed myself; I remember taking those walks from the building to the pool approximately eighteen times. It was my final week in which is known to most as "Hell Week." "Hell Week" was an "If you have it, you have it. If you don't, you'll stay here until you do." However, at this point, I did not have it, I was forced to a holding area until I could pass the swim portion of boot camp. Upon arriving there and walking in to see all the people who had injured themselves throughout their time in Bootcamp. The depressing part was that they were walking in with crutches and…

    My last day of inter was supposed to be on Monday this week. I was scheduled to meet with her at 10:00. Then 10 turned to 12 and 12 turned to no coming in at all. She called me around 1:30 and told me that she has been busy. While I was waiting for her I was doing online course for Homestead. All staff members are required to have continuing education and I get to get the same certificates as them. The courses are very interesting. They told me to print the certificates and add them to my resume and it would be beneficial. Also, when she called me to reschedule she told me to call this Hispanic family to see if we could meet with them on Thursday. This is the only Hispanic family we have at Homestead and she asked me to join her to interpret…

    My first rotation was at the Little Falls Orthopedic Center. I was with Marge and Linda in the radiology unit but later in the week I did float without the center. My first day was with Linda and it very slow with only one X-Ray patient. I did not mind to much due to the fact I was sick with the flu and later went home due to it. The next day I was with Marge because Linda was sick with the flu, incidentally. We saw many patients thus I learned a lot about the X-Ray system and how to position patients. I did float with other providers the following days. While with the other providers I saw many things including a cast being taken off, an exam, and multiple injections. Something interesting that happened even though I didn't witness it was…

    “I don’t know if I’ve ever been so damn proud.” The preceding quote was taken directly from my journal (not a diary) on July 31st, 2015. My crew of 8 and I had been through a lot this infamous day as we continued our 26-day trek through the magnificent yet unforgiving Canadian wilderness. At the present moment, however, I was currently enveloped in my welcoming and cozy sleeping bag reflecting on an arduous but immensely rewarding day.…

    This was the last day before spring break, the kids were so excited! It was the time for the kids to get all their spring cleaning done before the break. Each student cleaned out their mailbox and folders. Kids packed up their backpacks and threw out all their trash. My mentor teacher did take about 5 minutes to read to the children before they heading back outdoors. They did do some language art work, such as their print blogs. My mentor teacher told me of the idea and how it has helped the children learn to form more complex sentences. I was able to look at the children blog form the beginning of the year and compare it to their blog they were making today. The kids really approved and was amazing to see how far they had come. I spent the…
