This week at my career experience I was asked to do some crazy things. After completing an EKG on a patient I took out a high dose flue shot and put on the needle for the MA to give the patient. While waiting for the MA the doctor became antsy and wanted the shot done right away and ordered me to do it! Right away I was excited to be granted permission to do something this interesting but with very little practice and no experience on a patient I refused to do the shot. I was very taken back by the fact that the doctor would allow me to do so with no certification or experience. I refused to do so because if anything were to go wrong I didn't want the doctor to deal with the consequences. After I continued doing new blood tests I have never done before. The MA's showed me how to run a HgA1C and cholesterol test. I learned very soon that these test must be done accurately or the results will fly off the charts.
So far I feel that my goal has been accomplished and I am confident in my work place. My goal was to be less shy around patients and be comfortable bringing them into their rooms. I have successfully completed both of these tasks and will without a doubt continue in doing so. My strongest part of my employer review was being comfortable with patients and my weakest areas were asking more questions. To improve my weakness I will continue to ask as many questions as possible and try to learn every new thing that I can.
