Mentor day 5

Last week I was able to go to Kaiser and spend 50 minutes learning vital signs and interviewing a registered nurse who showed also me around a little bit. This nurse specialized in wound care and taught me how to check a patients vital signs - blood pressure, pulse, and temperature. She gave me a tour of the medical rooms and showed me the tools used by the nurses and doctors. She then taught me how to perform a jux delight. When a foot is injured, you wrap the jux delight around the patients foot to keep the swelling down. During the interviewing, she informed me that it took 8 years with all the schooling to become a RN because of the science degree that you must obtain.

Time: 4:10PM-5:00PM
Total: 25 hrs & 5 mins
