My Clinical Rotation

Improved Essays
Throughout my clinical rotations, I have dedicated myself to giving best shot at all the specialities, and at the same time trying to figure out a speciality that would align flawlessly with my personal and future goals. While this task seemed straightforward and uncomplicated, it was challenging to find a specialty that combined cerebral requirements of internal medicine and procedural skills of surgery, until my Anesthesiology rotation. Major factors that drew me to the specialty were the challenge of managing critically ill patients, the clinical application of pharmacology and physiology and the hands on nature of the speciality.

During my third year, I had glimpse of the profession while doing my core rotations. My first month into clinical rotations, I was on-call for my internal medicine rotation. A code blue was called, there was chaos, and everyone was trying to figure out what was going on with the patient, and several

    Three hundred sixty five days after November 19th, 2000, a fully grown, peaceful, knowledgeable women, who I love to call my mother, laid out multiple objects on the cold, clean marble floor for me to choose from. The objects laid out on the thick and hard flooring include: a used notebook, a dead battery, a calculator, a stethoscope and a wooden twelve-inch ruler. Out of these objects, I, still just an infant, picked up the stethoscope without realizing. Although my memories of this event are practically non-existent, I remember my caring mother telling me the story of my first birthday and providing pictures of me picking up the stethoscope. Strangely enough, fourteen to fifteen years later, I research careers and colleges which I could possibly…

    However, on November 18th, I felt confident at the end of the day because I was able to do all of my care efficiently and on a timely fashion. Upon reflecting about time-management in my previous journal and openly accepting the feedback from my clinical instructor, I finally learned how to prioritize my care by planning, anticipating, and delegating (Patrick, Freeman, & Painter, 2015). For instance, even though I know that charting is just as important as giving an injection, I learned that I do not have to worry about documenting every detail meticulously because some of it was not relevant. Also, carrying extra supplies in my pocket has become a habit of mine to avoid unnecessary interruptions in my care. Lastly, I learned how to be more assertive and asking when I needed to use the accu-chek, a chart, or vital sign machines, for example, in a way that demonstrated respect for other people’s needs and…
