I posted this on Concerns by mistake. I will also post this on Student Nursing!!
I just finished my second day of clinicals. I was assigned to the NB Nursury! I had a baby girl 5lbs. 4ozs. Just a little princess. She kept gagging though, and It scared me a little.
I was charting in the computer, she was about 10 feet away and I heard her. Got the bulb suction going, turned her on her right side and cleared the airway. The REAL nurse took me seriously, and checked on the baby with me.
I got to take 3 different babies to their Moms and got to listen to apical pulse and bowel sounds. The REAL nurse and I listened to breath sounds after she gagged. They were clear.
That's so great!!! I'm a fairly new grad. Was "side-tracked" and started in the ICU....I found my way to where I probably belonged all along, maternity. And I'm loving every minute of it!!
Keep that positive attitude in all your clinical areas and you will do awesome!
