Sorry I haven't posted in a while.....I have been pretty busy....
To catch you up! I am an RN, on my last term at OHSU working on my Bachelor's of Science in Nursing. I'm almost done! I can see the light!
I just began my OHSU practicum at Providence Milwaukie Hospital in the ED. Everyone.... I AM IN LOVE!! The Emergency Department is my kind of nursing. Assessments are focused, you are treating the patient initially (triage), and you perform so many nursing skills! My nurse preceptor Abby is incredible too!!
Over the last few clinical days, I started 7 IVs, performed a straight cath, 2 mini caths, a billion IVP (IV pushes), administered a bunch of drugs, and performed a bunch of assessments and discharges. I have only been there for 3 days, and I feel like I could take my own patients.
I'm excited to see what God has in store for me! Maybe even a job! :)
