By the way he gets more cute everyday!
This week I decided to take the nursing experience to an entire new level. On Wednesday my wife and I went to the hospital to have a baby! I took that time to sharpen my nursing skills and practice on my wife, and she was such a good sport. I put in her IV and her catheter, it was a first for me on both accounts. For the service learning project… we started!!! We went to the first 3 classes of the school, and just 12 more to go. We should have 3 classes a week for the next few weeks. So that is WHAT is going on. And sorry I was not in class, I got some concerned comments from my awesome fans, I was supporting my wife and baby.
For my service learning project we started by going to the elementary school for the first 3 classes that we were to teach. We are doing this to teach the children about disease prevention. I was thinking this last week that if everyone knew a little more about disease prevention then germs would spread slower and a lot of lives would be saved. I can remember and still apply the things that I learned 16 years ago in elementary school about saving water. Hopefully for these kids they remember at least a few of the things that we say to them about asepsis.
That is the entire reason that we are doing this service learning project is so that in the future these kids will be a little more aware of what kind of a difference that they can make in preventing the spread of disease. My classmates and I are enjoying working on this project together, and we are enjoying the children.
As for my future as a nurse, well let’s hope that I will be better at IVs than I was with my wife’s. I really feel like my service learning project is going to help me become a better teacher in the long run. And that is a great thing! And it is also preparing me to work in a health care team in the hospital.
