10/19 Assisgnment

Since starting my internship my perception of being a nurse has changed significantly. I have learned about all of the behind the scenes of being a nurse and learned that its not all its has been cracked out to be. There are sometimes long and tiring shifts that nurses take and tough patients that they often at times have to deal with. The most surprising thing I have learned from my internship is that, a lot of times, is that most of the nurses on staff become very close with the patients and in turn sometimes this makes the job harder because its harder to be objective and keep on task with certain things.

I have also learned that there are many boring parts to being a nurse and most of being a nurse is routine, such as taking a patients vitals. I have noticed however, that in emergency situations things are very high paced. I enjoy when we have interesting patients with different situations other than the norm, which is like the flu or a cold. All in all, I really like my internship because it offers the different extremes of being a nurse.
