Spoiled Mini Schnauzer!

Oh how I love my little pup, Zoe! But boy is she spoiled!

I promise the pictures were turned the correct way when I uploaded them! I'm not sure how to correct them.

Clinical Rotation

Today is seven and a half weeks that I have been in my clinical rotation. It really feels as though I had just stepped foot in the Medical Center to begin and now I have a week and a half left of staff relief and projects before I begin foodservice.

I am so excited to say that I really have learned so much these past few weeks! I have learned more in depth about the Nutrition Care Process and I have put it into practice versus just reading about it.

I also have seen so many unique patients! I have had patients who were in terrible car accidents, had brain aneurysms, had amputations, cancer, weight loss unintentionally, failure to thrive children, severely lethargic patients, substance abuse patients, post open heart surgery patients, hip fractures, seizures, motorcycle wrecks, strokes, patients with permanent feeding tubes, bariatric surgery patients, permanent TPN patients, and so much more.

I am so grateful to have been at the hospital I worked at since it is a teaching hospital with units of all kinds and specialized floors for patients.

I really enjoyed working in the surgery/trauma ICU! I feel like I learned so much during rounds in there!

The thing that has been getting to me is the 2 hours I spend driving to and from my site but in 7 days I will only have a 5 minute drive each way!!

The projects and classwork are time consuming and by the time I get home every day and eat supper and go to the gym it is after 8pm when I get home. Thank goodness for the weekend so I can catch up on everything!

Off to work I go! Hello med/surg floor :)
