Well I survived my first 2 days of clinicals! I was placed into long-term care for the first four weeks, and man will I be happy to get them over with and out of the way! Without violating HIPPA I'll keep it simple and say that the resident I was to take care of was essentially okay besides having severe dementia and impaired short and long term memory.. I did have to change a few briefs which is well, NOT very fun. Although some students got to pass meds this week, I did not, which was disappointing. Next week though! That means hopefully I will be giving insulin and or other injection based drugs... no I have not done this yet, but I'm excited/nervous to try :)
