So today (February 17) I was assigned to take care of just one patient so I could get used to giving meds and charting. Luckily, my patient was extremely sweet and did not have too many things wrong with him, but he taught me so much about communication and time management. Hopefully, by next week I will get two patients and see how that goes ;)
With my one patient I did assessments, gave PO meds, gave Insulin shots, and did little things for him like get him water, take his empty meal trays, and interacted with his family when they visited.
Another younger nurse let me help her take out an NG tube and a catheter and we just talked awhile about graduation and studying for NCLEX.
It was a good day!
