This week I had Peds with Ms. Ward. Hilary and I had the only Peds patient (if you wanted to call him that). He was a 17 yo who had got his left foot in the lawnmower. At first they wanted to do surgery on it but the Dr. decided it look good they way it was so they decided not to take off the toe. Or other patient was 54 yo with pancreatitis. I got to d/c her foley and give IV push for the first time. I got to do alot of teaching to they 17yo on the second day about foods he needs to be eating or not eating to get his stomach back under control. I did get to set up a PCA on another patient of ours. On the second day our new pt was in for a tummy tuck. I did get to watch the PT put on his dressing (Since I wasn't doing the way she wanted me to do it and she needed to leave in 10 minutes). All in all it was a fun week!!
