I was at NEMC this week with Mrs. Clay. The new childrens hospital is awesome!! I was really impressed. The patients had their own private room and they also had seperate treatment rooms in a different area so that the children would feel safe. My patient was so sweet, she had a lot going on though. She had a ruptured appendix and a central line and she was recieving TPN. This was only my 2nd time with a pt. on TPN so I definatly learned a lot and Mrs. Clay was right there helping us. Still not sure that I would be able to work peds...expecially since I "lost it" while watching the nurse put down an NG tube in a 1yr old little boy. I just felt so bad for him. That was the 2nd time that I have cried at clinical. I had a pt. that passed away last year that I cried a little over but...the little boy....it was just different. The momma in me just wanted to go and pick him up and run... :)
He was much better the next day with the NG tube in. Next week will be Med/surg at RRMC!!
