As expected, there was probably 5 or 6 inches of snow overnight, so driving this morning was definitely interesting. I'm really glad my car has front-wheel drive and snow tires. Neither one is a saving grace, but they definitely help! I did, however, get stuck a little bit when pulling into the coffee shop we met up at. Not for very long, but it was still a little bit nerve wracking and annoying. My partner, however, was late--she got REALLY stuck on a side street. So, when it came time to drive over to the home visit, she rode with me.
The visit went really well. They seemed really settled into their roles as parents and seem really comfortable with their new baby! They had very few questions and were grateful for the information we brought them, as there were some things they hadn't heard of or thought of. When we discussed toy safety, they even had us look over their toys for them so they could make sure they had safe toys for their son. We were there for about an hour, gathering the information we needed for our assignment and providing education, and then we were able to leave.
Then, I immediately set to work on my postpartum assignment and concept map. I had some questions about it, because I wasn't really sure how extensive it needed to be or how many nursing diagnoses I needed to come up with. And, looking at the rubric and assignment guidelines was not particularly helpful, because it wasn't really specific. Being that this assignment is only worth 15 points, too, makes me think I don't have to come up with so many diagnoses. Even with the five I came up (two of which were kind of stretching it), it felt like the most pathetic concept map I had ever come up with. So, I intend to ask my instructor about it tomorrow.
