Call bells and Med runs

Well the first three 12 hour shifts are behind me and were very fun. Lots of learning involved. I got to push IV meds, do total care for a patient, helped out with the rest of the patients, and spent some time with the physiotherapist. My fellow nursing students have decided to take the stairs and avoid the elevator... and we are on the fifth floor! So the first day my legs were on fire! However, I should be in some sort of shape by the end of my time there:) Most of my day is spent answering the many call bells, there are those few residents that hold the call bell in their hands and push it just because. So the first day I was answering a certain call bell from one of the patients. She was a little old lady who ALWAYS had to pee... however, almost everytime I got her up and on the toilet she got what I call "pee anxiety". So I would put her back to bed and two seconds later she would ring that she had to pee again. So five times later... she actually went:) However,from previous experience, I have learned, though they may ring all the time, you NEVER ignore a pee call!! So it kept me busy anyway. So in the next few shifts I hope to learn alot more and have alot of fun! TTFN
