(written Friday, November 1)
Slept like a log last night. Lying in bed looking at adorable Elizabeth “Snow White” pictures and waiting on the student nurse from Wake Tech to arrive. I was waiting because I’m not supposed to be up and around without a nurse or nursing assistant with me.
Wednesday afternoon Rachel’s supervisor, Gina, dropped by my room to ask if I’d mind having a student nurse from Wake Tech Thursday and Friday. I was thinking student nurse shadowing my Duke Raleigh nurse. Sure. Why not?
What a delightful surprise. Rachel was competent, caring, attentive. Friday morning, under Gina’s supervision, she administered my meds and an injection. I was very impressed with Duke Raleigh’s checks and balances for meds administration. Glad Rachel was gaining experience at this clinical site while I was here.
Check out the plan below for 11/1/13 posted on my white board.
My hospital bed is one thing I will NOT miss! OMG. It constantly … I mean CONSTANTLY … is noisily readjusting, something to do with pressure points.
