On Thursday night after we went over everything going on with Mrs. Amanda’s primary patient, we started assessing him from head to toe. Nurses are required to do this every 6 hours when they are working. We listen to his heartbeat, check his lungs, and make sure everything is running smoothly. Nurses are also required to chart everything that goes on during their shift. I got a lot out of my internship. Not only did I learn a lot about being a NICU nurse, but I also learned a lot of tips about nursing school and how everything works when I begin. I would like to learn more about other nursing positions. Mrs. Amanda told me that it is a whole different world in the NICU. My favorite activity in my internship is taking care of the babies and checking to see if they are okay. I really enjoyed shadowing Mrs. Amanda, I learned so much information about everything.
