On Tuesday I went to Salisbury Peds and had a pretty good afternoon with the nurse Alicia. There was a lot of kids in there with strep throat, so I got to learn about there protocol the test that they do and how to treat those. I also got to watch Dr. Koontz do a check up on a 4 month old. I learned about the different vaccinations that children are given. On Friday I went to labor and delivery and while I was there I was lucky enough to get to see a vaginal delivery and a C-section. I must truly say that I never thought that having a baby could be so awesome but after watching my mother deliver I was almost in tears along with her and the rest of her family. The mother did wonderful, she didnt push long at all and the baby was out with no complications. I got to hold the baby and mom wanted to get pictures of me and her for the baby first scrapbook which was exciting. I also got to go in on Tracy C-section that they did on a 16 year old girl. They wound up having to put her under general anesthia before they could get the baby out. You can read more about this in Tracy's blog. I had a wonderful week in clinical and I never thought I could see myself doing L&D but I might have found something new and different that I want to do with my nursing career.
