This week in clinicals I was at 1 East at RRMC. My first pt had pancreatitis, gastritis, diverticulitis (sp), DM 2, GERD. She was a sweet lady who when she wanted things, it was right then and there. I got to go down for a sonogram of her abd which was okay but the technician was running behind and wasn't in the mood to be asked questions. The next day I had a sweet pt however her family was a different story. The pt was adm d/t vomiting episodes according to her and her family caused by a bad orange. The family were her three daughters that wrote down everything was said by dr and nurses. Question people's ability on how they were doing their job (even the dr), about each drug that was given (I was to push Nexium and stood there for five minutes to get everyone's approval before I pushed the med), and disobey orders that were given by the doctor. Overall, I am glad to have that experience so I will know what to do when I am out in the real world and have to deal with the patient's family as well as the patient. It was a great experience at RRMC especially with the 1 East nurses and M. Zimmerman. M. Z was so wonderful in teaching us and letting us get new experiences. I really enjoyed having her and really hate for the people who did not get to have clinicals with her. She is one of kind (in a good way)!!
