3rd week at RRMC and FHS

Went to FHS on Wednesday. The NP there had to leave at lunch time so all the afternoon appointments were cancelled. So I followed a nurse while she gave test results, like HIV and pregnancy to clients and a prenatal assessment for a client that is at her 37th week. I found that visit to be hard because the reason why she did not come in sooner was due to being a victim of sexual abuse. Her children were victims as well. That was a sad situation and it broke my heart listening to her describing the siutation. Overall though, it was boring day. On Thursday, I got to spend time in the nursery waiting to see a birth. No births to be watch since no one knew of the c-section that was going on. We did get to see the first bath. That morning we help with vital signs and assessments since there was eight babies. I like working in the nursery.
