I graduated in May of 2005, and received my licence in July. I've been working on a busy med-surg floor since then. Yesterday, we had clinical students from my nursing school. Two of the students were assigned to two of my patient's. The students had minimum clinical experience. I spent as much time as I could teaching them and answering their questions, and at the end of their stay, one of them came up to me and said," Thank-you for helping me with learning some skills today. I hope I get assigned to some of your patient's next week because you are such a good nurse." Wow, that really blewe me away, because I remember being a student, and wondering how I could take care of 4-5 patient's and still provide quality care. I emphasized that the technical aspects of nursing-IV"s, operating pumps, etc ,well skills develop in time. The most imporatant thing is good, SAFE, patient care-thorough assessments, good technique, good communication and listening to yur patients. Yesterday was a good day for me. Just wanted to share.
