Happy Birthday to our dearest Harry Potter
A few things: today I collaborated with the PA on wound care for a debrided wound on somebody’s ankle. I felt like I communicated well, and was able to anticipate what treatments may be necessary.
I also assessed a large(almost 12 inches) abdominal surgical incision. I was intimidated, but curious. All I had to do was assess and document, and change the dressing(super easy: non-adhesive gauze and paper tape.)
Wound care is still mysterious to me, but what I’ve learned is that you don’t know until you know. Every wound is different. The human body is an ever evolving organism.
My favorite coworker(we started around the same time) took the day off today so I’ve been running the clinic for the most part. I was a little worried when the day started, but I found that as soon as I organized my work, it was all doable. The LPN I’m working with today is very wise and gentle and I feel like its gonna be a good day!
My favorite aspect of today is how much laughter I hear. It’s easier to work hard and have a positive attitude when everyone around you gets along and enjoys each others company.
I am shocked by my independence and how comfortable I am with it. My coworkers are very open with me and support me thoroughly and I think the encouragement was enough to propel me to success. I ask questions when I need to because I refuse to do anything unless I am 100% sure of the action. I am a natural leader, so I feel energized when I’m needed. I am able to access that part of me that is decisive, benevolent, and sharp.
I manifested this exact scenario for myself. In the time I was seeking employment, I realized I only wanted a few things: to be respected, valued, treated with kindness, and be planted in a positive environment. I feel I got all those things.
The day ended with Moriah and I watching Sorceror’s Stone and eating take out from The Orchard, our favorite restaurant in Frederick ❤
Many blessings
