For the third day my preceptor was charging on the unit. I didn't receive any info about if my nurse charges until after this shift. I now know that I cannot be at any clinical shift my preceptor is charging which is a third of the shifts. This is going to make it extremely hard for me to schedule because one of the days that I was going to make work is the days my preceptor is charging. The other day I have a stats class that morning and so I am going to see if I can make arrangements to miss that class on that day for a few times in hopes that will be enough to finish my hours.
I think today was a great day for learning. I was able to go over a lot of terminology as well as help the other nurses on the unit for various different tasks. I felt part of the team more this day because I was able to assist with a variety of patients as nurses.
Today I was able to see how some of the prep for a shift and planning goes into a unit. The coordination of everyone and other units was really well done and interesting as well. We talked about my SMART goals as well as some topics for my Issue Paper.
I was able to help several new admits and get their aldrete scores and assessments, watch a portable wound vac be placed, and my charting is getting better as well.
