rotations+starting+11-21

11/21(med/surg)-f today was my last day in the med/surg rotation. today we helped put packets together and recorded intake and outtake. we took vitals on all of the patients. we helped two "quarantined" patients to the restroom that we had to gown and glove up for because they had shingles. other than that, it was a pretty lacadazical day.

11/28(diagnostics) today was my first day in diagnostics. I was in the x ray section today, we did not have anything today though, so i just got to read diagnostic imaging books. 12/1- today was my second day in diagnostics. we had two patients come in today for xrays due to pain in their body. They were checking for any fractures, but none were found. 12/5 today was another drab day in diagnostics, they did not have any hands on work for me to take part in, so i read more diagnostic books. 12/8- today i was absent from diagnostics, but the funny thing is that i ran into an x-ray tech at my hotel in fayettville Arkansas. Her name was Andrea and she gave me an in depth explanation of the school she had to go through to get her job and what x-ray/ diagnostic imaging entails. i do not think that diagnostics is the department for me however. I need more variety and hands on experiences/ patient interaction. I'm too much of a "people person" haha. 12/12- today i was not feeling well at all so my beautiful and caring CNA teacher Ms. Magill let me catch up on my blogs and help her out with her CNA class. What a sweetheart :) 12/15- today I was rejected from Diagnostics due to the fact that they had no appointments and were watching a concert. I was also rejected by ER because they said that two students was too many for them. I think Midlands was just feeling a little bit racist that day.... -_- haha just kiddin. So I worked on my Senior project and helped Ms. Magill with her CNA class.
