I started my introduction to nursing class a couple of weeks ago. It has been so intense that I haven't even had time to blog about it! The first two weeks we learned about basics of nursing care (like a nursing assistant would learn starting out). I'm glad to have this foundation because of my lack of health care experience. I'm starting from zero.
Yesterday I passed my first two masteries on hand washing technique, and applying a wrist restraint. I was so nervous. The first one had 17 steps and the second, 36 steps to memorize. I was thinking that was tough until I saw next weeks masteries which are both over 60 steps each. YIKES! They are all about transferring a patient from a wheel chair to bed and vice versa. I'm so glad to learn these things! I love nursing! I'm having a blast!
