So last day of clinical was great. I took care of 3 patients, discharge them and took over for another nurse's 3 patients. My preceptor just kind of sat back and watched me that day. I felt in charge. It was a good feeling. I needed her help every now and then, but nothing too major, mostly I needed her badge and her to log in to the medcart for medications.
My experience at this hospital for these past few weeks has been amazing. I have learned so much about nursing, skills, building relationships, assessing, and all that. I learned the most about building relationships I believe. I've been kind of shy during the last few semesters in clinicals. I have always usually let the nurse or whomever i am following take the reins and have that relationship. But being here and doing things on my own has really opened me up and allowed me to express myself in ways I honestly don't usually do. It has made me love this career choice even more. I love caring for people and helping them with whatever needs they may have. I am looking forward to taking this experience, building and learning from it and applying it when I have a real nursing job (and get paid for it!).
Again, this was a great experience.
(Sorry this was so late..)
