Nursing of Women and Infants (Summer 2013) - this was my first clinical and it was more of an observational experience than anything else. We did not have patient assignments. Instead, we were assigned to a nurse and shadowed them the entire day. Our clinical group rotate on L&D, PP, Adolescent and NICU floors. Psychiatric Nursing (Fall 2013) - at Girard Medical Center and I worked with different patient populations (substance abuse, acute mental health disorders, long-term care and dual diagnoses). This course focused on developing therapeutic communication skills and relationships with patients. Pediatric Nursing (Fall 2013) - Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. This was the clinical where I first developed practical nursing skills. I cared for pediatric patients up to the age of 21 with CF and other pulmonary diseases.
