I have just completed my last shift on Floor 4 at Met. This floor has allowed me to grow so much as a student nurse. I am proud of the growth I made, especially in my communication and gaining more confidence in my skills. Here are some new experiences I had during the semester:
- hand off reports with the other group of students
- IVPB medications
- discontinuing a foley
- postmortem care
- handling a patient falling
- watching a PICC line dressing change
- caring for a patient with a chest tube
- Yankauer suctioning
