Clinical

So I’m in Term 2 of the nursing program. I started my new clinical rotation 3 weeks ago. My 1st Term clinical site was fun! It was at a Long -Term/Hospice Facility. At first it took some getting use to there was a lot of bed baths, diaper changes (which I’m so proud of myself, since I couldn’t even change Paige or Ty’s dirty diaper), bed sore dressing changes, and just making sure some pt’s were comfortable. At times it was really sad to see the some of the pt’s never had family come visit, their minds had completely diminished. For 98% of the pt’s there the facility would be their last home. I got kind close with one pt who happened to be a breast cancer survivor ..... Her mind was so sharp and she had the BEST sense of humor, then on other days she would forget everything!! Every time I would come in the morning she would say “Hi Dolly”. I was a little sad to say bye on my last day there.
My new clinical site is much bigger. I will be doing way more than wiping & changing BM’s (bowel movements). I will keep everyone posted on this rotation.

P.S. I AM GOING TO SEE COLDPLAY @ the Home Depot Amphitheater on July 18th here in Cali. I got floor seats!! This will be my 2nd time seeing them I can’t hardly wait!!
