Re: First Day of Clinical
Everyone goes through that. In clinicals, we only had to care for a couple of residents. No one in class could imagine taking care of 10-15.
The secret, as you will find out, is that no one does all the cares that you're supposed to do. It is physcially impossible to have 10-15 residents and get showers for a percentage of them, do nail care, oral care, hair care, and handle all the transferring, toileting, and peri-care that needs to be constantly done.
I NEVER, and I mean NEVER, saw anyone actually do oral care on a daily basis for residents. That includes me. No time for it.
