I was at Rowan on Peds with Mrs. Ward. It was a great experience. I learned so much from her. I had a 17 yo pt. who had got his foot caught in the lawn mower and almost had to have an amputation of his left big toe. They ended up stitching him up and he went home the next day. My other pt. was a 38 yo women who had a tummy tuck. I was able to go in with the dr. and change her dressing as he explained the surgery to me. I was able to get experience with her PCA pump, IVF and IVP. I also got to teach her about her JP drains. how to empty, measure and record for when she went home. It was a wonderful experience. I loved Mrs. Ward and I'm going to miss her so much.
