Today, was a crazy day! I was so looking forward to working with the same client I had last week, alas, it was not to be. I guess I just am going to have to learn how to be flexible! I am more accepting of change and I am really trying to stay positive. My family knows, that I can be pretty negative. Going to school to be a nurse, has changed me in many ways. Firstly, I think I am learning to be more tolerable of the elderly. Yes, Mom, I am learning. Secondly, there really is a circle of life. These people at the facility I am doing my clinicals at really are in different parts of the circle. More toward the completion of the circle. I spoke with my new client today extensively today and found that I could learn much from her by just listening. Most of these people just want someone to listen and care. Fortunately, my client's family visits every week. Many families don't visit. How sad.
Anyway, I was alot more hands on today. I made beds, with perfect hospital cornors, I might add! I took temps, respirations, pulses, worked on care plans, took people potty, wiped bums, and made a difference in several people's lives today. Needless, to say, I was busy, busy, busy. Ms. Leomi, said that I wasn't so fast zipping around today! I made an effort to be much more aware of what was going on around me. My client had to go into the hospital today. My heart broke for her. She was so upset. I am hoping that she will be back to her home next Friday when I go back to the facility for my last clinical day for this month. I can't believe we are going into week four of this month. Time flies when you are in this excelerated program. Five months down (well, almost) and only ten more to go!!!
Like McDonalds, I'm Lovin It!!!!
