NEMC-4G

This week I was with Mrs. Collins at NEMC. My patient had come in with complaints of severe epigastric pain. She was admitted with an episode of pancreatitis. She was NPO which meant I got to give my first IVP and my first IM. I was nervous not having done this yet but I did a good job and it was great experience. I also got to set a PCA pump because she had been complaining all morning of getting locked out. So we switched pumps and I reset the pump per Drs. orders. Hopefully, now she will get some relief with the pump. Since she wasn't getting any relief she was also on Morphine and Phenegran along with her Diluadid. Wow, but hopefully after fixing her pump she will get relief and she won't need the Morphine. Overall, it was an awesome experience and I learned a lot.
