This week in Med/Surg, I had an 80 yr old lady that was in a car wreck and broke 9 ribs (4 on one side and 5 on the other) and an anterior process on L2. She was really sweet and still in a lot of pain...her wreck was two weeks ago. She was walking around the halls with her walker and had a really good appetite. Her family lived out of state and wasn't able to be with her, so when I got to spend some time with her, she had a lot to talk about. She was really funny and easy to talk to. She was also hoping to be able to go to rehab on Monday. I really enjoyed this week at clinics, and learned a lot from my nurse on Friday - Gwen. She graduated just last year and was really helpful and understanding. She made learning easy and more on our level than some nurses that have been practicing from many years. I hope to learn more from her in the future at clinics.
