For consolidation my group was chosen for 12 hour shifts. This is the first time I had ever worked for that long and I was very nervous. Overall it has been very tiring and busy but at the same time an amazing learning experience. Throughout this week I have learned how to time manage better and improve on my communication with the nurses. My shifts have been busier than ever. Compared to last semester I find that I am getting more involved in the care of my patients. The nurses on this floor are very engaging and always asking for help from us students which has been very beneficial. My nurse even took the time to show me a bladder scan, accucheck and how to put in an IV.
