On October 19th and 20th, I spent my clinical days shadowing two different nurses on the 3rd Pavilion at Our Lady of Fatima Hospital. The purpose of the transitional week is for the nursing student to experience what it 's like to be a registered nurse and how to prioritize patient care. Ordinarily nursing students only have one patient 's care to mainly focus on, where as nurses on this particular floor have four to five patients. Following an RN lets the nursing students see how a nurse meets all the demands of their patients while thoroughly documenting the details.
Day 1, I followed a newly hired Registered Nurse who 's name was Sydney. Previously, he had been a nurse at a nursing home for two years and just got hired four days prior.
