I feel like I have settled into a good routine with expectations somewhat nailed down. The week has been very busy with reading and studying, Tally children's needs, American Cancer commitment, husband's commitments that bleed over and a daughter that lives in Jacksonville getting married. Both dogs got washed, the linens changed, laundry done, no dusting, though. Oh well, the people in the house are more important than the house anyway.
Again, clinical was enlightening. I learn so much more each week. The better way to say that is you goof more each week and learn from the mistakes. The goal this week: Don't forget APETOMAN
after mentally geeking out over an apical pulse. I think I stuck in the same position smiling
for close to 2 minutes. Luckily the patient just smiled back.
Girl, you did good. You will gain more confidence in that bedside setting as time goes by, and i think that being about to play it off like that, if that is how you were feeling on the inside, is amazing! It wasn't required that we listened at all APETOMAN, but i need to study those locations too! I just listened to apical. Hope that everything went well in gathering your information. LOVE YA!
ReplyDeleteI think your attitude is great, and that you will make a wonderful nurse PJ. we all made mistakes, I know i did, and i am sure we will continue to. you are very smart and caring, and i think you are learning what you need to learn...to learn from previous experiences is what this clinical setting is supposed to be about.
