Clinical day number three! And, since I didn't get a second clinical day with a partner because of last week, I got to be with my partner again today. It was nice, although I felt the nurse spent a lot more time talking to her friends than actually spending time with patients. What was great, though, was that we got to follow her around to most of her rooms. I selected a patient to do my postpartum assignment and concept map on, so I look forward to getting that one done and off my plate. Then, all I would have left would be my labor and delivery. Unfortunately, there was not a delivery for me to see today--although the other two who needed to see one got to go. So, I am on the priority list for seeing one next time.
Overall, it was a pretty good day. We got to help with discharge education, as well as admitting a new patient to the floor.
When I got back to my apartment, I had to do some prep work for our home visit assignment tomorrow morning!! They want us to come over at 9, and my partner and I are planning on getting together at 8 to review what we have. And, looking at what the weather is planning on being like overnight, I know I have to get up extra early to get ready and leave with plenty of time to accomodate for the snowy conditions!
