last Fundamentals clinical
I have to say I am really going to miss my lab/clinical group. Everyone in our group got along really well and were always supportive of each other, like one big team. I do think it will be good to mix it up though and get to know more of the people in the class. As far as the actual clinical went....it was good. I was much more sure of myself doing the assessment. I made a detailed sheet for myself to go by as i do a head to toe assessment, and it really helped me organize myself and not forget things. Our patient was pretty difficult though, it was really quite aggrevating. I was worried that we wouldn't even be able to get all the info we needed to from the assessment, because he was just not cooperative with us. In the end, we got most of what we needed and it wasn't too stressful. I hope PJ is doing okay today....she has been in my thoughts a lot today.

I'm curious about the next group assignments also. I haven't had any uncooperative patients at this point. I realize that we are supposed to do a thorough assessment just to have the experience, It just seems odd to ask a person to go through an assessment especially after you have a pretty good idea that they are already going through the motions with their full time nurses, I would like to have more interaction/turnover with the actual nurses. At HEALTHSOUTH we have been tracking down our nurses while they are well into their shifts.
