August 3, 2014 ~ Fundamentals Nursing Class
I just finished my second semester in Nursing school! It was my first semester in the hospital and we were at Cenntenial Hills hospital. I learned a lot of nursing skills this last semester, hence the title of the class Fundamentals. In the hospital we mostly did CNA work though because we have to be passed off on a skill in class before we can do it in the hospital. I still learned a lot though and it was a lot of fun! I felt like I was able to take the time that the nurses don't have and just get to know the patients. I was able to do therapeutic conversation, bathe patients, feed patients and do a lot of non pharmacological pain management. Near the middle of the semester I was able to give oral medication. It was a good first semester in the hospital and I had a really good clinical group! Rob was a wonderful clinical instructor and always answered my questions.
