Week 8 has overall been one of the most fun filled weeks I have had at my career experience. After training to give injections I can finally give patients their flue and pneumonia shots. This for sure gave me a new and exciting responsibility that I am so grateful to be trusted with. After becoming comfortable with injections I was then taught how to give a steroid shot. At first, I was uncomfortable because the shot is definitely more serious on how and where you place it. The whole day I sat in on the MA's giving these injections to see how they were properly done. With practice I should be aloud to start them on patients within a few weeks! Being more hands on this week has given me more of an incite on how a nurse would spend her work days. I will for sure be taking this experience with me in my future career.
In the work place, I feel that I have made the lives of the medical assistants way better. With short staff on certain day I will volunteer at any moment to help one of them out. They are constantly thanking me for taking over some of their duties to help them get on with their day. At any opportunity I will bounce at the chance to help out anyone of the girls in the office. Seeing all of the work they put in for their patients made me really want to step up and help them out. Like the doctors, they are also doing anything they can to make a sick patient feel better. I love being apart of that so if that means I stay longer at the office and help out the medical assistants than I will without a doubt stay.
