Now 2 days of nursing orientation still at concord hospital 27th and 28th June. On 27th had to do a medication quiz which was abit worried about. But after doing the booklet last night felt abit better that I knew it. It was actually alright was nice to be able to use calculator and I was the first to finish. Then it was wound management, falls, infection control, lunch and then diabetes management. Told them how we use stickers when a patient has a hypo and liked that idea. As their already uses green stickers and signs for falls. It was then CPR assessment which seemed to take forever probably as last thing for day. So didn't get out til about 5 again and then went to gym with Leigh.
Last day of orientation 28th June and do about blood products. Which is same protocol as us 15min observations after start off blood and hourly after unless needed. Their used to do 15min for a hour, then half hourly and then hourly. Then changed which is a good thing only thing different is doing blood over 4hours instead of 3. It was then induction to information systems, basically how to find results electronically. Lunch then and had a burger my first one was good but their serve beetroot with it which seems wrong. So obviously asked for it without. On a Thursday have market on got a muesli cookie but brownie looked good.
I then met our tutor who gave me a tour off the hospital. So then I should hopefully be able to find my way around is only 7floors and 3 wards on each floor. It was then time to first my ward for the 1st time was abit nervous as not sure what to expect. Everyone who I met was nice the Nursing Unit Manager (NUM) showed me round. The ward is actually oncology, haematology and palliative. So am sure their will be lots of news things to learn. I then got my rooster very important on earlys for 2weeks Monday to Friday which is good. At least by the end of those 2weeks will hopefully know what am doing. Finished at about 3 since had had 2 long days and back tomorrow morning.
