Last night I did my last shift with Mrs. Amanda at Ochsner Baptist. When we arrived we got settled and went straight to huddle. They told us sad news that happened during the day. We were informed of a mother’s death. The whole unit was heartbroken by this news among other things. After huddle was over we went over to one of the day shift nurses and she told us everything that was going on with our patient. We had the same baby we had the other night which is Mrs. Amanda’s primary patient. He is doing a lot better than he was and has been in the NICU for many months. The jobs I have been doing during my internship is just observing Mrs. Amanda. I watch what her job entails and I help her with anything she needs. She describes each job she does to me, so that I know what to look for when I am watching her.
