I really enjoyed my clinical experience this week. Healthsouth is a very clean and organized facility however it is very apparent their shortage of staff. My pt was very sweet and I got a good experience with hygiene, dressing, transport, toileting etc. I seriously loveeee being a student nurse. I caught myself walking through the halls just smiling because it makes me so happy!
I think I did pretty well on my assessment and felt super professional doing it. I was a little timid because I was definetly all up in my patient's business.
I have decided to quit my job at Andrew's as well. I found myself sitting at the hostess stand thinking, "I just turned 20 years old, I am in nursing school, it's a Friday night and I should be letting loose". I am turning in my two weeks notice today which is a big step because I have worked there since I was a freshman...
As for my personal life it's been pretty crazy. I need to let loose for sure and destress, get organized and prioritize.
That's all for now :)
Glad you enjoyed clinicals! Wish I could have been there!! :( That's good that you are taking the steps that you need to and making changes to better your future!! Try to de-stress as much as possible before the final coming up!!
ReplyDeleteI am really working on de-stressing too. I think it will be helpful to give up your position at Andrews. I truthfully don't know how you are managing that added responsbility. I hope you will find the time to let loose a little bit too. You deserve it!
