5th Time Volunteering

So this was my fifth time going to the clinic to volunteer. It was sort of different because my mentor who is the doctor was not in the day I went. There are three doctors that work there and they come in when my doctor doesn’t.  At first it was weird because I had got use to following my mentor around, but she not being there meant I had to follow the doctor that was there that day. One of the nurses introduced me to him and she explained to him why I was there and he was glad to help me. He asked me if I wanted to follow him around and I said yes. He would take time after we would see each patient to explain to me what he did and other things that was wrong with the patient I really appreciated that.

            After I followed the doctor around for a while the nurses asked me if I wanted to do the usual things I do which are do the patients height, weight, vision, hearing test and also their temperature. I did that for a while and then it was time for me to leave.

            Next time I go to the clinic I want to decide what I am going to be doing for my visual part of the project. The nurses there also said they would give me some ideas.

4th Time Volunteering

   So I have gone to the clinic where I am volunteering for my senior project four times already, but I haven't blogged anything till now. The first time I went I was nervous because I didnt know what I was going to be doing. Also because I didnt know if the other nurses working there were going to like having me there. After being there for a while the nurses started talking to me and asking me about the project. Then my mentor Dr. Osmeña came and asked me if I wanted to go in the room with her, because she was going check a patient. At first I felt awkward being in the room with the patients but then I got used to it. My first day I thought went well. The second time I went I mostly followed the nurses. I followed all of the nurses that work there, but Maggie who is one of the nurses was the one that taught me how to do the basic stuff height, weight, temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, vision, and hearing test. She then told me that the next patient coming I was going to have to do it myself but that she would be watching. I was nervous but I did it and she was their to help me if I
needed help.
   After going for two times I now looked forward to going my third time and fourth time. Next time I go which is going to be my fifth time going Im going to think about what I can show that I have learned so I can get ideas when it comes down to the presentations.
