new infusion set every three days, compensated by a new train or car toy each time. Going to the nurse to have her push buttons on the device that made funny beeping sounds.

The amount of work and research to be done cannot be underestimated to reach a consensus on the optimal method to integrate simulation models into the existing curricula while making every possible effort to avoid the potential negative effects of unverified methods of…

Today, March 31, 2017, continued my second week in my rotation at Norton Women’s and Children’s Hospital. I became more familiar with the role of a child life specialist at Norton Women’s and Children’s Hospital, as well as observed and participated in patient interactions with great debriefing with Kristi. The child life service that I wish to highlight from today is urodynamics. I learned that urodynamic studies examine how well the bladder, urethra, and sphincters are able to store and…
