Okay guys, this is like the millionth time that I've tried to post my blog! I'm not sure what's going on this week but here it is again:
On thursday I was at SPA and although it wasn't the most exciting experience for me, it was still enjoyable. I was assigned to shadow Alicia, who was the supervisor of the nursing staff. We saw a couple of well-checks that day and I got to observe a two month old who had a hypospadias which is a genital defect. His penis was shaped abnormally and was kind of hooked down with the urethral opening on the underside of the glans. The doctor also discovered a slight murmur and scheduled a consult with the cardiologist. Overall, it was a nice observational experience.
Friday was a breath of fresh air for me! I was sooooo glad to be back on the floor and my client was a 38yo s/p lumbar decompression surgery. Friday she ambulated for the first time with PT and did very well with that. After I D/C'ed her foley she actually started getting up on her own and moving around so I was really amazed at her progress. Mrs. Zimmerman talked with me a lot about the PCA even though we couldn't do anything with it, and I got some much needed experience with IVPBs and IVPs. Thanks Mrs Zimmerman for all your help!
(Hope this posts this time!)
