Experience at the clinic
Your experience at the clinic needs to be followed up with reflective writing Each Day.
For my clinical i was on the NICU unti that was where i was assigned to that week. I observed the nurses do shift report and the beginning of the shift. I help the nurse bathe, feed and change the preterm babies. The nurse explained how each care and what time she had to feed the babies. I learned how to weight each diaper change. Observed the nurse do some charting. I did not have any access to the computer and was not able to retrieve any information on the mothers OB/gyn history. I was able to standby and listen to the pharmacist teach a mother how to give hydrocortisone when the baby is discharged home.
